SIMONSEZ'S PROFILE

Sadly, I hit the biggest bump. Me and a group of friends online were working on the project, we had the story fleshed and most of the system but they all dropped out. Guess it's time to figure something else out for now.

Is it still possible to go with this?

I think it depends on where you are at in the game. If you are in the beginning having setbacks could punish the character early, why figure out the mechanics and power of magic if one of your first equips drains MP and lowers the effectiveness of magic? The player shouldn't be punished for experimenting at the beginning of the game. Later on is when setbacks should be applied more, by then the player has a feel for the game and has developed a decent strategy to how they battle (Magic everywhere? Berserk and haste like no other?). Since everyone is going with pokemon think of it like that, at the beginning you have scratch, growl and ember. These have no setbacks and lets the player go with what he wants, sooner or later setbacks and more effective attacks appear, you then have to make a strategy based around these moves.

Lets do it. Hur hur.

Evil is defined by the current societal norms in our world, what could be evil now may not be considered evil in the past or present. Also having a definition that works for everyone is not likely since people have different values and ideas. Example: Slavery is basically considered to be bad in America but some time in the past that was not the idea and was used often in the southern states. Also in other parts of the world slavery still exists. Now back to the question at hand.

1) Laughed at a mentally challenged basketball game when I was little.
2) Punched in the face.
3) The creation of evil.
