CroMoX Presents
Lost Arena
Description
Lost Arena is the final installment in the trilogy of the Lost games. This has several genres, such as; Survival/Arena/RPG; in it allowing for a dynamic arena game allowing for a nice amount of replay-ability and enjoyment, while sticking far away enough to not call it a generic arena map. While the game is made for solo work for you to survive, that does not mean you will not team up at any point in the game, some areas will need a group effort to complete, and in a group of 6 it can get hectic!

Description
Items are a main feature of any game, and in most games it involves largely around shops. However, Lost Arena does not involve buying items from shops only recipes. Items are found in treasure chests which are scattered around the map randomly.
How Does It Function?
At the start of the game Treasure Chests will be scattered around the map which contain items. When a item is collected from the chest via a button which, will take 5 seconds to finish activating, and after that it will disappear and a random item will be in it's place. After 3 minutes the treasure chests shall be randomized again. This means that treasure chests shall not always spawn at a location, and you will be required to explore the map.
Description
The Death Cycle to me is what really stands out compared to other games, and in this their is no such thing as a death timer. When an enemy has killed you, you get taken to an island called "The Isles of Limbo".
How Does It Function?
So when you die you are moved to the Isles of Limbo, where you are allied with any other dead players to fight a boss that are caught in Limbo. There are several bosses which are chosen when the other people leave, and there are 10 total. The bosses shall grow in strength based on how many people are at the Isles. No experience/loot/gold shall be gained when the boss is killed, only your sanity. When the boss dies you and any other people are moved back to the Forgotten Island scattered randomly over it.
Description
Now usually killing just rewards you a larger amount of experience and bounty, not in Lost Arena. On top of that you are allowed to choose to go to "The Isle of Reward". This allows you to buy an ability or get a recipe for an item.
How Does It Function?
When you kill an enemy you have a 30 second timer, and a message appears asking "Do you want to be moved to The Isle of Reward?". If you type -yes before the timer expires you are moved instantly to the location. At the island you can buy one ability, and after that you are moved to a random position on the Forgotten Island. On the Isle of Reward, you shall be allied with anyone else there. Item Recipes will cost gold, and you will be allowed to buy as many as you want, but once you choose an ability you leave the island. Killing someone is the only way to go to the Isle. You can type -leave to leave the island if you do not want an ability.
Description
Bosses are a tricky creature to tackle when creating, making them appropriate, and also challenging while not being tedious. My idea is to make bosses you spells that will make you move around to avoid, and to increase the enjoyment you get from the battle.
How Does It Function?
When battling a boss when the first damage is dealt, he has a timer before he casts a spell. The spell shall be randomly generated out of his kit, so you cannot predict the outcome so this will make the player try to be on their toes and to avoid any possible threat. Also when the boss hits a percentage of health, depending on what boss it is, an event shall occur, being as simple as summoning units, or to a slow casting stomp you have to avoid. This is also to make the boss not repetitive even with the first system in place.
[tab][tabheader]Events(Pending)[/tabheader]Description
Events can be a useful and fun tool when done well making the game fun, or just uninteresting. My goal is to try, and make a boss or special chests spawn at a time in the game, which is available for a set time.
How Does It Function?
This will function, so about half way into the game a message will appear and a timer will occur at the top to let the players no how long they have to do this event. This will add to gameplay, since people will start to cluster up causing large amounts of fights. Also if it is a boss or a treasure chest you shall be rewarded much more greatly than you would normally with a special item, or a large amounts of gold.

Description
To win Lost Arena it is not about "Who has the most kills?" it is about who kills the final boss.
How Does It Function?
At 15 minutes the door to the boss arena shall open, and within it the boss will be waiting. At any point in time can you try to kill it, but it takes a solo effort. Anyone can intervene as well, taking the boss kill and ruining your efforts or killing you while you are vulnerable. This will result in a interesting fight.
Description
Heroes where going to be tricky in Lost Arena, but I believe I have found a way for dynamic game play. You can choose between a female and a male, and their a three sub-categories for these, where you have each one with the prime attribute you want. Also depending on what sub-category you picked, depends on what passive you get. Their are no differences between genders, only sub-categories.
How Does It Function?
In the beginning you can select between 6 characters, and within this you can choose either a male or a female, and they both have 3 primary attributes. This allows you to choose what you want to go, so Intelligence for a mage, Strength for a tank/DPS, or Agility for DPS. When you select a character a passive will be given that is based off percentage, so it is useful all game. Also when you gain a level instead of leveling up an ability, you level up a stat on top of your original stat gain, which allows you a large amount of diversity within you build. The reason for this is so when you kill a player you can go get an ability according to what you want, which allows you to get a maximum of four other abilities, totaling at five.
Description
I shall be adding in several commands for players to be able to use, which will not be necessary for the player to use, but it will give the player chooses if they want to change something.
How Does It Function?
So the function is pretty easy to understand, you type in a command, and it will do the action according to what you asked. Some examples of commands I have thought up are;
-Change Model or CModel (Which gives you the option to change the look of yourself in-game if you do not like your current model.
-Clear (Self explanatory removes text)
-MS (Movement speed)
-Abilities*Then attribute, so -AbilitiesStr* (This shall come up with all the names of the abilities that are affected by that kind of stat that you can get at the Isle of Reward)
