Hey I'm creating a Pet ORPG called Tamers of Domingo.
The Tamer hero can summon up to three other hero's that're creatures. These creatures are what fight for the beast master. You can have a maximum of three creatures and only one out at a time.
I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to set this up. I need to make it so that the creatures can be summoned and unsummoned without taking up too much map space. I don't really prefer to use a wait area for creatures but will if I have to. I was thinking of a way to hide and call them. Still I need to figure out a good way to hide and show 3 heroes while keeping a fourth out all the time. Since they are heroes they need to be kept in the game.
I also need a way to summon the heroes onto the field. I can't really do items, since the hero needs that space to equip a few pieces of equipment that make him have an outfit. I gotta figure out some other means of summoning.
I need a way to limit the amount of creatures a beast tamer can have out at any one time to 1. This shouldn't be too hard, but ideas are definently appreciated.
Now, because I want a beast tamer to be able to change their mind on keeping certain monsters I need to figure out a way for the tamer to delete monsters they don't want. Perhaps this could be done by saving and loading beasts. Honestly that sounds the most plausible.
Just a bit of extra info: I have the beast tamers start out with a monster summoning item. These items will create a level 1 monster type for that hero. In order for the hero to turn that spawning item into a monster, though, they must first take the item to an incubator, which will then remove the item and give them a monster when a spell is cast on them and they hold that item in their inventory.
It should be a fun ORPG, but we'll see. I'm going to create a single database, triggers, variables, etc. and transfer them between maps, making it so that it's a multimap series. You can load a fire monster caught in the Lavaland map and bring it into the Woodlands to wreak havoc.
Should be really fun.
