M.E.G.A. Craft the ultimate crafting RPG

This website is for me to show my workings and updates for a project I am working on. I think this will help to keep me motivated lol. I am creating a game in RPG Maker called M.E.G.A. Craft or Marvellous Extreme Giga Awesome Craft for its full name. Yes I know the title is stupid it is a comedy game. However, don't expect loads of progress at a time and lots of updates as I am working on this on my own. See the 'project details' post for more information.

MEGA Craft Wiki - Category: Monster - Bovine/Water/Ice - Doop

Doop

Authors note: The information in this wiki blog profile is liable to change as game development progresses. Any changes that are made if relevant enough will be featured as an update to show the history of development of this aspect of the game. SEE TAGS for more info on anything in this wiki

(simple self drawn concept art)

Name: Doop

Category: Bovine

Element Type: water and ice

Strong Against: fighting, darkness, water, wind and ice

Weak Against: grass, lightning, fire and earth

Found at: InterTwine Forest - area 2

http://megacraftrpg.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/mega-craft-wiki-category-location_14.html

Basic concept description: A square blue cow with a derp face

In game description: Doop are strange beings. Some people believe they are Moodles that swallowed magical dust in the air and others believe it is the work of a foolish inexperienced mage.

Nature / personality: The Doop are not very smart creatures and so are easy to fool. They are wild however and will attack when threatened and their ice magic can pack a punch. They attack with magic since they can barely move due to their strange shape. They like to hang around in groups and they call to each other when lost with long deep cries. *Doooooooooooooop* It is thought that they may have created the clearings in the forest by rolling around a lot in one spot. What adorably silly creatures.

Likes and Dislikes: They like to call out to their friends and roll around aimlessly. They also like to eat ice flowers. However, they don't like being involuntarily rolled around by strangers or their milk being taken.

Background / History: Not much is known about these creatures but it is speculated they descended from an ancestor of the Moodle or maybe even a different breed of Moodle itself. Some people think they were created when a beginner magician messed up some sort of spell on a Moodle. This is what led to the old story of the ice magician where a beginner magician is said to go out unprepared despite the warnings of its friends and ends up being attacked and killed by the strange Doop it created in its foolishness. This story is now one told to children to make them aware of the dangers of going out unprepared in the world of monsters and magic. It baffles scientists to this day how the Doop are even able to survive at all. They are just one of natures magical mysteries.

Connected Monsters: No connection to any other monsters (as far as we know. They could be connected to Moodles but we don't know)

Detailed Location Description: They live in the InterTwine Forest which is quite a ways away from the Beginner Grasslands and posses more of a challenge for adventurers. It is a thick forest of blue trees and plants. The trees branches twist into each other in a way that connects the canopy into one piece like a giant blue carpet over the forest floor, earning the forests name. The sun shines between the gaps creating beautiful speckled light amongst the shade. The Doop roll around in groups in forest clearings, looking for magic flowers to eat.

Detailed Body Description: A Doop's body is the strangest of all creatures of MEGA Craft (world name pending) as it resembles a cow but is blue with white spots and has a very large square body shape. It's tail is smaller and thinner than the Moodle as it is rarely used. Even its horns are rectangular in shape although they aren't much use since their legs can barely reach the floor if at all.

Item Drops: Blue Milk (in concept only as items still to be confirmed)

Creators Notes: Most of the things in this profile have been reused from a detailed profile of the creature on another website as it helps give all the good details needed. The creatures likes and dislikes may become relevant in the future for taming the creature if this feature is used in the final game. The more complex details of the creature may also be used in the game itself through the means of in game text books if the information is interesting enough and relevant to the proper development of the way the world is. Less important information will not be in the game itself.

MEGA Craft Wiki - Category: Monster - Bird/Poison - TinkaTinka

TinkaTinka

(simple self drawn concept art)

Name: TinkaTinka

Category: Bird

Element Type: Poison

Strong Against: grass, fighting and poison

Weak Against: earth, holy

Found at: InterTwine Forest - area 1

http://megacraftrpg.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/mega-craft-wiki-category-location_14.html

Basic concept description: A medium sized pink paradise bird with lots of large feathers and soft curly plumage

In game description: The TinkaTinka is a beautiful bird who is famous for its glorious pink plumage. It's feathers are often used by girl dancers in raunchy dances. Fwooor!

Nature / personality: The TinkaTinka is a very beautiful bird and it knows it. It spends a lot of time grooming itself to look perfect every day. It is also important to look good for the sake of mating. However, these birds live mostly solitary lives until they meet their mate in which they will stay together until one or both die. This earns them the Nickname the bird of love. They walk with a sort of cuddled swing giving them an air of elegance with every step they take.

Likes and Dislikes: They like eating delicate flowers, especially pink ones. They don't like being separated from their loved one or getting their feathers ruffled.

Background / History: It is believed the TinkaTinka may have not been native to the InterTwine Forest but was in fact an exotic pet before escaping and breeding in the wild. Despite this, they have become a main staple in the forests well being and now the forest owes its lively hood to this creature. It is believed the TinkaTinka helps the forest flowers bloom. However, their over-hunting is starting to damage the environment.

Connected Monsters: Has a ice magic variant TinkaTwinkle

Detailed Location Description: They live in the InterTwine Forest which is quite a ways away from the Beginner Grasslands and posses more of a challenge for adventurers. It is a thick forest of blue trees and plants. The trees branches twist into each other in a way that connects the canopy into one piece like a giant blue carpet over the forest floor, earning the forests name. The sun shines between the gaps creating beautiful speckled light amongst the shade. The TinkaTinka likes to float and glide around the trees in hiding but occasionally comes out to seek a mate or eat rare flowers.

Detailed Body Description: The TinkaTinka has an extravagant array of rose pink feathers coming through a soft fluffy pink plumage on its bottom. This fluffy pink plumage strings out in curly patterns around its large pink feather wings and tail between almost every individual feather. The fluffy plumage at the edge of the wings towards the birds back curl in what appears to be a heart shape. Another reason why it may be called the bird of love. It's beak and legs are small and dainty and it doesn't struggle to walk as its body is light.

Item Drops: Rosey Feathers (in concept only as items still to be confirmed)

MEGA Craft Wiki - Category: Monster - Bird/Fire/Wind/Grass - Ostradamus Mage

Ostradamus Mage

(simple elf drawn concept art)

Name: Ostradamus Mage

Category: Bird

Element Type: Fire, Wind and Grass

Strong Against: fire, wind, grass and normal

Weak Against: water, darkness, ice and poison

Found at: InterTwine Forest - area 3

http://megacraftrpg.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/mega-craft-wiki-category-location_14.html

Basic concept description: A blue big flightless bird based on ostrich

In game description: These cousins of the Ostradamus have rose above their pitiful wild life in pursuit of a mages magic and wisdom but some old habits are hard to break.

Nature / personality: The Ostradamus Mage is more arrogant and aggressive than the Ostradamus they originated from and will attack anyone who irritates it. They like to show off their magic spells by using a variety of elemental attacks but they focused so much on showing off how many spells they know that they neglected to perfect the ones they have so the spells aren't very strong. They also find it difficult to hold their spell book which allows them to cast the spells with their clumsy wings.

Likes and Dislikes: They don't like people saying they are stupid or showing them up in magic. They do like low quality elemental essences and rare flowers as they help them with their magic and potions.

Background / History: The Ostradamus Mage stems from a few Ostradamus which got fed up of people calling them stupid and decided to prove everyone wrong by learning magic. They have split away from their brethren and don't like the sight of them anymore as they don't want to be associated with their feeble minds anymore. Such arrogance is shameful.

Connected Monsters: Magic variant of Ostradamus

http://megacraftrpg.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/mega-craft-wiki-category-monster_11.html

Detailed Location Description: They live in the InterTwine Forest which is quite a ways away from the Beginner Grasslands and posses more of a challenge for adventurers. It is a thick forest of blue trees and plants. The trees branches twist into each other in a way that connects the canopy into one piece like a giant blue carpet over the forest floor, earning the forests name. The sun shines between the gaps creating beautiful speckled light amongst the shade. The Ostramadus Mages run around freely in the forest in search of a challenger.

Detailed Body Description: The Ostradamus is a big round flightless bird with thick dark blue feathers with light blue highlights. It's beak and legs are orange but less strong and nobly than the legs of the Ostradamus due to their lack of use. It has a soft feather layer underneath its thicker feathers which come out a little from the bottom of its neck.

Item Drops: Magic Meat (in concept only as items still to be confirmed)

MEGA Craft Wiki - Category: Fishing - Sea - Other Fish - Manta Ray

Manta Ray

Item Name: Manta Ray

Category: Fishing - Sea - Other Fish

(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: InterTwine Forest

Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Sturdy Fishing Rod

Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: The Manta Rays best feature would be the way it glides across the water like a bird, flapping its side fins up and down like wings. It has an elegance to it.

Authors In-Depth Description: I used the Manta Ray species of ray as my inspiration because this is the most commonly known species and the one used in the kids movie Finding Nemo. This is in the other section as Manta rays are actually their own species. They are also often categorized with sharks but I decided to put it in the other sections anyway as I couldn't think of it as a shark -_-'

Item Location: InterTwine Forest

Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Simple Fishing Rod

Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: These fish are very colourful but they are still able to hide well inbetween coral and seaweed. They are sorta cute. They should make a movie about this thing.

Category: Fishing - River - Fish

(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: InterTwine Forest

Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Simple Fishing Rod

Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: Loaches are a popular tropical fish which will brighten up any aquarium. But be careful to have a group of them as otherwise they can be aggressive.

Authors In-Depth Description: I chose the spined loach as inspiration as it has nice distinctive patterns on it and a more unusual long and thin shape for a fish.

MEGA Craft Wiki - Category: Fishing - Pond - Fish/Fruit Fish - Tomato Fish

Tomato Fish

NO SPRITE OR CONCEPT ART YET

Item Name: Tomato Fish

Category: Fishing - Pond - Fish and Fruit Fish

(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

(A Fruit Fish is a special kind of fish that resembles a fruit and is rarer and harder to catch. There is one per fruit and therefore generally one per location)

Item Location: InterTwine Forest

Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Balanced Fishing Rod

Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: The tomato fish is delicate like a tomato which makes it more difficult to cook. Be careful not to squeeze too hard or you will get juice in your eyes.

Authors In-Depth Description: Obviously a tomato fish isn't real but there is a fish for every fruit in this game so here it is. I will likely make it look like a combination of these ideas with a twist of my own. I may use the leafy bit as fins similar to the bottom picture as that is a good idea but have a rounder body like the top example below.

Mini Crab

Item Name: Mini Crab

Category: Fishing - Pond - Crustacean

(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: InterTwine Forest

Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Balanced Fishing Rod

Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: A little crustacean well known to kids and adults alike, especially if you were one of those kids which was told to go delving in the pond and got nipped.

Authors In-Depth Description: I was originally going to use a common species of small crab but this one looks so colourful and distinctive that I had to use it. It also happened to live in ponds so this is apt for the way the game uses it as well.

Inspiration

MEGA Craft Wiki - Category: Fishing - Pond - Crustacean - Crayfish

Crayfish

NO SPRITE OR CONCEPT ART YET

Item Name: Crayfish

Category: Fishing - Pond - Crustacean

(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: InterTwine Forest

Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Balanced Fishing Rod

Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: Not really a fish but a smaller relative of the lobster. A tasty little treat but difficult to cook with its hard shell and even more difficult to eat.

Authors In-Depth Description: Although it isn't accurate to put this species of crayfish in a pond it is a very distinctive species and it has that red colour people have come to expect. This is why I will use this species as inspiration for my games design.

Goldfish

Item Name: Goldfish

Category: Fishing - Pond - Fish

(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: InterTwine Forest

Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Balanced Fishing Rod

Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: More expensive than the typical fish as we love to have them as pets due to their colourful shiny fins. You can win them in fair ground games but I don't recommend that.

Authors In-Depth Description: There are actually many types of goldfish but everyone knows the typical orange type shown below so this is the one I will use.

Item Name: Eel

Category: Fishing - River - Fish

(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: InterTwine Forest

Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Simple Fishing Rod

Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: The eel is well known for its ability to electrify its predators and for its snake-like appearance. Careful when you touch it you don't get zapped.

Authors In-Depth Description: There are many kinds of eel but the well known one is the electric eel so I will use this as my inspiration. Games with fishing in often have eels in them but despite them even having references to their electric abilities they are often not modelled after the electric eel but the European eel instead. However, I am going to use the electric eel design directly for my game since it has more distinctive patterns and colours and it would make it more accurate.

Dogfish

NO SPRITE OR CONCEPT ART YET

Item Name: Dogfish

Category: Fishing - Sea - Shark

(a fish can be found in the sea, a pond or a river depending on its category)

Item Location: InterTwine Forest

Minimum Fishing Tool Required: Sturdy Fishing Rod

Item Value: ? (still being figured out)

In-Game Description: Also known as a Nursehound or Bull Huss, this shark is a small shark related to the catshark. How ironic. Although it doesn't look like a dog or a cat.

Authors In-Depth Description: When researching Catfish I was curious to find out if there was a dogfish and here it is. Despite its name, it is a shark and not a fish and has no resemblance to a dog at all but it is pretty cute in some pictures. Dogfish are sometimes featured in video games or some variant of the species is as there are many types of dogfish. The one I decided to go with is the Spiny Dogfish as this one has clear spots on it which I think will help make it more different to other shark species I have in the game. The final design will likely look more like the artwork example below than the real thing. The in-game description information is true stuff I found out about the fish when I was researching.

MEGA Craft Wiki - Category: Plant - Tree - Nut Plant - Almond Nut Tree

Almond Nut Tree

NO SPRITE OR CONCEPT ART YET

Item Name: Almond Nut Tree

Category: Plant - Tree - Nut Plant

Item Harvest Number: 1-3 almonds (also bonus drop 50% chance to drop 'rosey egg' item)

Item Location: InterTwine Forest

What is this plant?: A tree which grows nuts on its branches

In-Game Description: almonds grow in double shelled bunches. The almond tree also blossoms with beautiful soft and very light pink flowers.

Authors In-Depth Description: The almond tree does blossom beautifully in real life but I doubt it would be a feature in the game. I might incorporate one or two of the flowers into the design for the simplified game version of the tree in order to reference it though. I order to keep with the simplistic identifiable style of the games concept art so far I may show the almonds as separate and not in bunches as they are in real life. However I didn't for the banana tree as it didn't feel right so maybe I will in the end. We will have to see which would work better once I create the art. If showing it in bunches doesn't look too out of place then I may do it after all.

Item Harvest Number: 2-6 tomatoes

Item Location: InterTwine Forest

What is this plant?: A vine plant that grows tomatoes from its branches

In-Game Description: These plants are rather fragile and grow fragile fruits. The forest gives them the perfect amount of soft light and protection for them to grow.

Authors In-Depth Description: A simple vine that grows tomatoes. not much else to say other than it may look simpler in the game itself. of course tomatoes are used in a lot of recipes so they may need a lot of harvesting.

MEGA Craft Wiki - Category: Location - InterTwine Forest

InterTwine Forest

NO SPRITE ART YET

Location Name: InterTwine Forest

Category: Location

Dominating Enemy Types: None

(mixed normal and various elementals but only early types such as Fire, Grass, Water, Fighting and Ice)

In-Game Description: This forest is called for its intertwining trees whose branches twist into each other to make one huge canopy. The speckled light because of this is beautiful

Authors In-Depth Description: This place is the next location up in difficulty from the detour of Beginner Grasslands, the Sunny Hills. It is a forest so the setting is rather different. With this different setting comes more complex enemies you meet for the first time, elemental powered ones. These enemies will be some main elements such as fire, plant and water and some mixes of those but their elemental power will be limited to get used to them for tutorial purposes. This is a great place for a beginner mage to practice against other magical beings. The trees in the area are mostly blue and the trees branches wrap around each other to make large sections of tree above you. These sections will make speckles of light on the ground as most of the light will be blocked by the tree canopy but not all. There will be a couple of clearings where you will find certain plants, items, enemies and fishing spots. Since revising the fishing system, I need access to the sea in this location but it should be easy to add a path coming from the bottom right of the clearing in area 2 leading to the shore on the forests far right and it wouldn't need to be its own area but an extension of area 2.
