Notes:
Why make Galaxies2d - Galaxies2d was born of the desire to play a mashup of games I love. I'm a massive fan of retro games. They’re difficult. Unforgiving.
Star Wars Galaxies (Crafting) meets Diablo 2 (action RPG combat system)
End-game-focused game design sucks - About the journey, not the destination - We don’t know what your goal with Galaxies2D is… The race to skip 80% of the game to grind the last 20% cheapens the overall experience.
what if the game was “card based”? Might be interesting to turn it into a trading card game.
Let’s make sure that every little thing players do in-game feels important! Whether they’re chatting with a character or picking up an item, each action should have an impact. This way, players will feel their choices matter and keep them engaged and curious about what will happen next!
Finding that sweet spot where everything feels just right is key! We want all strategies and character abilities to shine. By keeping the game balanced, players can explore different ways to play without any one option feeling too strong. It's all about fun for everyone!
Let’s embrace the beauty of simplicity! Players can jump right in without feeling overwhelmed if the game mechanics are simple and easy to understand. Keep things clear and straightforward, but leave room for players to discover depth and strategy as they play.
Choices are what make the game exciting! Let’s give players lots of meaningful decisions that shape their adventure. Each choice should feel special and lead to different outcomes, creating an unforgettable journey that reflects their unique style.
We love a friendly community! Encouraging player feedback and involvement helps everyone feel connected. Hosting events, sharing stories, and providing spaces for players to chat can turn the game into a wonderful hub where fans can share their experiences and grow together!
