Visions of the West (Sep, 2022)

Controls:

WASD / Arrow Keys to move, 

Left click mouse to interact with objects and select options in battle and in menus,

Right click mouse to toggle in game menu.

This is a standard JRPG game with a turn-based battle system, that contains a move list for attacks, a range of enemies in the overworld, a levelling and stats system for players, a working system for shopping for items and equipment, an inventory of items and a in game menu that displays various navigable information. There is also a dialogue system and quest system, so the game can be expanded in narrative structure and world-building. There is a save and load system, in order to keep track of position, items accumulated and characters stats. 

Finally there is a final boss and quest line, making the game playable from start to finish in a complete gameplay loop. 

This game demo was developed in order to practice JRPG game development, and in preparation for my dissertation on the ways in which turn-based battle can be modernised. I developed everything myself (following online tutorials), and used free online assets.
