Zelda fangames are nice and all, but I too want to create something slightly more original every now and then. And here it is. Or at least, here is the concept I have decided on as my fun little secondary project. Not to worry though. Horn of Balance development is not going to discontinue or anything.
Okay, so the concept is browser-like management game where you build a guild across a fantasy land. You hire members, manage stats, buy equipment, upgrade buildings and have you guildmembers perform quests for gold. In the beginning you will only have yourself to earn gold with but the game will be expansive in that I plan to included a LOT of characters to recruit and stuff to unlock/upgrade. It's simple but should be very addicting if you like (micro)management and achievements....like myself
The members to recruit can be characters from various media (anime, videogames, movies, whatever). Think along the lines of characters from Final Fantasy, Naruto, Zelda, Warcraft. Whatever floats your boat really. I'll leave it up to you guys to come up with requests while I build the needed mechanics. Maybe I'll introduce some guidelines later on to prevent stormtroopers from fighting alongsides fairies, but who knows. That might be funny in it's own right.
I'll post some images and more details over the next couple of weeks hopefully. For now I'm really interested to learn what you guys think about the concept.
EDIT: Attached some screenshots.
