Samphi is primarily a story driven RPG set in a randomly generated, destructible sandbox universe. You will fight across many randomly generated levels, craft, build, level up and collect gear. Most importantly; you play the game how you decide. With 2 game modes, story & freeplay, you can either play through my story or create your own. Story - Samphi is a story about a relationship between 'boy' and 'girl'. Through re-living memories along the timeline of their relationship (all set in sandbox, randomly generated environments) you will learn their story. To do so you will have to master the art of crafting, survival, building and combat. Freeplay - In freeplay mode the world is yours. There is no goal, just sandbox goodness. Create your own world, live your own story and use your skills to survive. Samphi is going to soon be in an alpha funding stage and so you can get a good idea of what the game is going to become and grab yourself an early copy at a discounted price.
New UI Design.
Here is a section of the new UI. It's not complete, just an in progress shot. This would sit top-left of the screen and would show core player information.
Health - Obviously your health
Hunger - If you don't eat you will get hungry and go weak
Sleep - The longer you go without sleep the more insane you go. Not sure what effects this will have, or if it will 100% make it into the game but it's a new idea i'm playing with.
Your feedback really helps me separate my good ideas and design from the bad so pleas let me know what you think :)
Have a great day Y'all.
I like it ;)
Cheers :)
I like the annotated version. The sleep idea sounds interesting. You could also provide ways to extending the period you go without sleep, like say if the player can make and drink coffee, or eat certain types of food, or even just the good old "magic potion" method.
Also maybe the possibility of at certain levels of "insanity" the world the player sees goes through different stages of looking different.
Just throwing some ideas out there. =)
Hi Banshee!
Yeah extending the sleep period sounds good. I think i'd use certain foods to extend it and lift your insanity. I would only allow you to extend this period for so long however so that at some point you will have to actually sleep in a bed!
I liked the mechanic in 'Dont Starve' where when you go insane you start seeing things! I thinks that's an awesome mechanic so I want do do something similar. I want to go a little further with it though and have your insanity level change how you perceive EVERYTHING around you, not just see hallucinations.
Cheers for these ideas :) Always a a big help.
