Now let's talk about "exploration events"
Hello there, adventurer!Poty here.Today I’d like to talk about exploration events.An exploration event is what happens after every exploration action you take in TAE RPG.At the moment, there are four different types of exploration events:A combat encounter;An event location;An NPC encounter;A quest encounter.Let’s take a quick look at each one.A combat encounterEach location (villages or towns) has its own set of foes wandering nearby, ready to ambush you.An event locationWhile exploring, you may stumble upon a cave, a camp, or other points of interest. It’s up to you whether to inspect them or move on. Some of these locations may hide secrets, and even multiple floors. Just remember to bring a teleport scroll… you might need it. 📜An NPC encounterYou might meet a merchant, a messenger, or someone in distress. Whether you decide to interact with them is entirely your choice.A quest encounterSome quests require you to meet a specific NPC or inspect a particular location. These encounters can also appear after an exploration action. ❗Beyond exploration itself, you’ll also be traveling between locations and entering places within them (inns, taverns, and more).Each place offers different services, so knowing where you are and what is available to you can make all the difference.That's it.I'll come back later with some more features.Don't forgetWishlist TAE RPG;Play our prototype on Itch.io here;Community feedback and suggestions form here;Join our Discord here.Let's do some crazy stuff together!Cheers,Poty from mappeRead full article on Community Announcements (Periien Crazy)AnnouncementsOfficial
Let's talk about "exploration"
Hello there, adventurer!Poty here.I want to cover some of the game basics, to give you a better understanding of TAE RPG.Today I'll talk about "exploration".Exploration is the main action in the game. Whether you're entering places in villages, exploring its surroundings, traveling between them or inspecting event locations, you'll always be exploring.Entering places in villages is often a recon job, to get to know the people and the service they provide;Exploring the village surroundings allows you to trigger exploration events (combat, find loot or event locations) and come back to the village when the event is over;You can also travel from village to village, as long as they are adjacent to your current location. An event will be triggered once you get there;Once you find an event location, you can choose to inspect it. Event locations often have several floors to explore. We'll talk about them on a different update. They deserve a place of their own.Our goal is to make exploration the driving force of the game. Quests and events shall encourage you, adventurer, to explore the TAE RPG world.I'll come back later to talk about other features.Don't forgetWishlist TAE RPG;Play our prototype on Itch.io here;Community feedback and suggestions form here;Join our Discord here.Let's do some crazy stuff together!Cheers,Poty from mappeRead full article on Community Announcements (Periien Crazy)AnnouncementsOfficial
