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.
A map idea i drew up to demonstrate the idea to my testers.
What is fundamentally different between the areas besides aesthetics?
Each area will have unique resources and monsters so will serve their own purpose. For example the jungle may be the only place to get a certain plant required for a recipe, the sandy area will be the only place to get sand and therefore glass.
These are just a few ideas iv picked from thin air, but each area will provide unique materials and the player will have to explore and find all the regions in order to collect fresh/new resources.
This is a VERY rough map i drew at work this morning (by mouse) and so doesn't truly represent my idea. I will create a better mock-up and post at a later date. I am also hoping to get the first implementation of this included in the next release. Also, since Samphi has not hit 0.5 i can send you the updates installer to put on your site if you want?
I thought you just updated the shared dropbox folder?
Oh I completely forgot about the shared folders! What a sponge. Yeah i'll get the new version thrown in there soon as.
