S H A R D S M A C K A bootShardsmack is an epic RPG done right.
Our journey begins with a degenerate lowlife, Adam, and his ninja mercenary, Swiftsteel, sneaking their way in to Harrington Manor. Adam explains to his recruit that their mission is simple: "Retreive something-or-other that is extremely valuable, and sell it." With his debts gone awry in an illegal gambling ring, Adam is out to cash in and save his hide. By any means necessary.
But things go haywire pretty quickly after the duo confront the royal residing in the manor. Sadie, the bored and house-captive girl, throws Adam's world in to a tailspin when he gets more than just debts to worry about.
Fighting things Fighting things is what we like to do. 'Cause when you are on a quest, and things get in your way, you gots to fight them. Or die tryin'.
- You fight things when they pop out to getcha. Or when you go to get them. On the same map.
- You can mix and match two (2!) battlers to lay the smack down on foes
- There is no MP. MP doesn't exist. If you were to ask a local what Mana was, the local would smile and reply, "Welcome to shardsmack. We don't do MP."
- Instead, you customize three "cards" with shards/abilities. Each time your ATB fills (and it fills quick), you get a charged card. Things you put on the third card are the most effective.
- Three cards with three slots each gets you a total of nine (9!) abilities, on two characters, for a total of eighteen (18!) combo-nations per fight.
- Abilities are synergistic. So if you wanna load up with red shards and give some good third degree burns, you are gunna be more hurt from them blue shards. Sorry, bro. Sorry.
- Each playable character has their own unique skills to offer. These will revolve around skill-testing combos and button-presses and timing. This ain't your momma's epic rpg.
'Splorin' Things - Critical decisions can mean the difference between 20 GP and a broken nose!
- Explore a vivid, rich, 8-bit world.
- Have NPCs laugh at you if you ask about MP
- Fully featured Treasure Chest System (Two modes: Opened, and Unopened provide the most dynamic treasure hunting experience yet)
I want YOUIf you are good with characters sets or chips, and like the style presented, or have any ideas for graphical styles that would work.... PM me or reply in this topic. I am looking to hire someone for graphical help, and I will pay thru paypal for quality work. Rates will be discussed thru PM. But I'm serious about this (not-so-serious) project.
