Happeh Fantasies mod for Serious Sam: The Second Encounter

Basic outline for the mod. It is based on a game I have been playing. Might be familiar to some of you.

The player is a magician with the ability to cast spells.

He arrives in the world to fight evil.

The world is run by 5 gods. The player can choose which god he wants to work for. This is important because each god has different creatures and spells to give to the magician.

The player has an army of ally creatures that he commands. The main role of the player is to direct the creatures, while he stands back and helps as necessary.

These creatures follow the player and then attack enemies within their attack radius. They can be ordered to go to a specific location or to attack a specific target. Some of the creatures have magical attacks or defenses. These magical creatures will drain energy from the magician to perform their magic.

The enemies are the same 5 groups of creatures that the player uses. The gods are opposing each other. The battles are between the god the player chooses to work for and the other gods. This means that the enemy creatures also have magical offense and defense.

The enemies will be land and air based creatures. No plans for water creatures or maps at this time.

Hopefully an enemy "herder" or leader will be available. The code for this could be extremely involved. I have not thought about it too much. Just looking at it, it appears to be a difficult job.

There will be a large variety of spells available for the magician. He can speed up, heal himself or his allies and of course attack.

There is an idea to limit the number of enemies in battle. The concept is that a creature has to be built around a soul. The number of souls on a map determines the total number of both enemy and ally creatures available. When a creature dies, it's soul becomes available. The owner of the creature can pick the soul up and reuse it. Or the enemy can capture the soul and use it to increase the number of his creatures.

Gameplay is simple and straightforward. The fun is in the maps and the characters. Each character has a personality. This includes the creatures. The maps also have their own character. Desert, Arctic, Forest. The maps are very big. So big that the speed spell is necessary.
