Beginning Work On My Dream RPG In Unity! | Indie Devlog 0

Go to my sponsor snhu.edu/levin if you’re interested in starting a career in game development!
I've been working on this project for around a year now, and I'm finally ready to reveal it! Its an Action RPG + Turn Based Party RPG that I'm making with the Unity game engine, heavily inspired by games like Deltarune, Omori, and Archvale. I'm super excited to get to work on this game and to share my progress over the next few years.
My First Game, Couch Combat, On Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/16...

I'm excited to see this project getting bigger with every Devlog you upload !!

سلام. متابعك من تونس❤

[@AIAdev]

Very cool. Excited to see how this project evolves

[@kanethedev]

The combat system seems really engaging, can't wait for the next devlog!

[@holyshiftstudio]

All the best to you!

[@Marandal]

I love RPG's!
It is my dream to make one with indy devs in the future.
Design Philosophies for my current game are:
1. Story & Atmosphere are the most important thing.
2. Make the game playable as soon as possible.(Seeing art & assets in-game is super motivating)
3. Make it simple as possible(add all the cool Feature creep stuff later)
Bonus: The game must have secrets or easter eggs

so far this looks really awesome!! being a huge fan of pixel art i think you should stick with that style and i think the 2.5 D was awesome it really helps games stand out BUT top down is good too! keep up the awesome work i’d love to hear about the story and lore of your world

[@sjonpap8926]

I can't wait to see the progress with every devlog🔥🔥🔥

[@actuallysanta4590]

[@zerksylol]

I love archvale!!! Using that art style would be very cool

[@Gejam_GameDev]

oh boy new game devlog
can't wait to see how the end result will look like

[@jackfrederiksen7979]

I'm excited to see you continue this project!

[@Jrej_dev]

Good to see you change project a bit.
I saw a lot of devlogs about top down action rpg, but your mix with turn based combat seems like a nice twist on it.
Best of luck to you in this new adventure. ;-)

Sounds like a smart upload schedule! Excited for it ❤

[@catman7474]

yo this looks amazing

[@eboatwright_]

Good luck!

[@arthur-vn1ug]

You should make a turn based combat system just like Deltarune to fit the style of Action Rpg and still be turn base combat, or not brake the pacing

[@c4sian16]

Excited to see where this goes :)

It’s the archvale man himself! Very cool to see you here, I’m really excited for the roguelike version you’re working on

Nice video!

[@farbencut]

You’re making an RPG? ButWhyLevin?
Get it, because It’s his name literally and not some kind of critique like you might initially think

[@RedCroissantGames]

Looks good

[@AIizs_]

You should make a parry system like or give some I frames when dashing

[@Tiagocf2]

very cool 👍

[@Shocker_shitpost]

also if you need or want I can play test or give you ideas. This seems like a cool concept I would love to help but if not that is cool

[@ButWhyLevin]

Thanks, I plan on doing some playtesting in a few months, so I’ll be sure to let you do that! Thanks for the support

Are you still working on the couch combat online update?

[@samantham.6617]

As a game designer and programmer, I LOVE your videos. Hopefully one day we would get to work together ❤️. Also if you are looking for an artist for hand drawn 2D work, I can recommend an amazing one. 👏

[@codered_dev]

breath of the pixels

[@bensweeney5878]

Will the turn based combat and real time combat be separated or will it work like VATS in fallout??

[@bensweeney5878]

During real time you could have an AP bar that fills up for each character that allows you to move around and use moves on the real time combat. This would allow you to effectively freeze the game, move your party around in 3 different spaces, defend, and attack by relying on chance and your AP instead of your reflexes if things get too intense for you

[@ButWhyLevin]

While I considered a system similar to that at first, I right now I’m working on making a system that is similar to Undertale, where you have a battle / bullet hell phase where the enemy attacks, and then a phase where you can use actions. The only real difference in between mine and Undertale is that in mine, you also attack during the enemy attack / bullet hell phase

[@bensweeney5878]
