Currently The Lower Realm is in an early stage of development but some of the core system are already in place.
Procedural Terrain Generation
Currently the an early terrain generation system is already in place, the system is easily modifiable allowing for fast implementation of new tiles and terrain types.
There are 6 tile types in place at the moment, Water, Beach, Grassland, Forest, Highland and Mountain.
Player and Enemies
Tiles have different crossing costs, the path is calculated based on the fastest path to reach the selected destination. Player movement is fully functional.
Entities will spawn and roam the world, the player can defeat them for materials and XP. The basic Enemy AI is in place.
Battles
For the battles a classic turn based system is used where faster characters and enemies get more turns. The core logic of the system is done but the interface is still incomplete.
Artwork
For the artwork custom 64x64 sprites are being used since is all that my art skills allow. Bellow the current sprites used in the game. From top to bottom, entities, tiles and items.
