Role Playing Concept (WiP)
Concept focus is the 13~ stats and stat points leveling systems.
(link to complete set of notes and calculations, charts, and descriptions)
MOST role playing games offer four to six stats... your HP, magic, attack, defense. sometimes maybe you have speed and dexterity too. or a mix of them but still only 4.
I've spent years considering a lot more stats than strength, speed, constitution, and dexterity.
I have an algorithm for calculating outputs for attack and defense, turn rates, and more that has been under construction for little over 4 years now.
I'm seeing if i cant generate a little interest in this and maybe get some help. TBH this is not a one man job. i mean, unless im god, then by all means, pray for me a miracle!
In the meantime, here's a little sneak peek at my extended race selection, 20 element system, and 13 (and growing) stats:
I've borrowed heavily from celtic, gaelic, irish, norse, greek, roman, egyptian, mesopotamian, hindu, daoist, and native american philosophies, mythologies, and hostories.
They've all got a great world tree, a great deluge, deities/spirits, and dragons
There's more math in this RPG than an entire six years of middleschool (
pun intended)

It's a large, infinitesimal, project... i dont expect a lot of commentary or interest because it is a lot to take on at once. its kind of like when toribash first started out - a lot of stuff to learn. a lot.
What i need, however, for testing purposes, is a program that can calculate my algorithms for me, instead of making me grab a calculator and spend an hour just on calculating level up bonuses.
It'll take a long time before i even compile my EXISTING notes. i have thoughts and ideas i havent even written down yet that havent been refined or addressed.
My primary focus has been the 13~ and growing~ stats, and the 20 element system.
I am particular about my elements. i am not prideful, but definitely proud of the charts.
20 elements, they seem to organically relate to one another perfectly - not even intentionally - and harmonize well.
and i have a chart somewhere that expanded on the tetragrams i was trying to translate in relation to my elements.
You'll see some duograms representing Body, earth, Gravity, and Magnetism on the element chart i posted in the spoiler, and 4 black/white dots representing the other 16 elements - those are the tetragrams.
If you want to actually read up on all the concepts i have compiled to my blog, i'd love to hear what yo uthink of the whole thing so far. just keep to remembering its a work in progress. anything could be changed as inspiration demands :3

Toribash will never be an RPG

Hey, this doesn't really fit into the art board and would work better in the Gaming subsection of the Off-topic board. You won't reach your target audience here so I'll move the thread there now.
I do some videos
Feel free to PM me for any video-related questions

Well, you have a lot of data but I'm not hearing all that much about your core systems. For example you have 13 stats, but what is considered high, what is considered low, what is considered average? Is 10 a high amount of strength? Is 1000? Does a normal human have 1 strength? 50 strength? How many stat points do you get in a level? Can you get them from other means? What is max level? How long does it take to level up? Does your game even have a level up system? Speed and str govern unarmed damage rates, but what about when wielding? What governs knives, swords, hammers, bows, staves, guns (if there's AI and cyborgs I'm guessing there's guns)? How is damage dealt? How does defense work? What's the philosophy behind skill or ability usage? How do you control the character? There are many questions that need to be answered before I can get an idea about how this game is actually played.
(I laters scrolled down far enough to see '13 points per level / no more than 5 in 1 stat', but I still don't see anything about how hard it is to level up, or what base stats are, or max level, etc. Is lvl 30 max?)
At the moment you have a lot of ideas but not much in the way of working systems, I would suggest trying to work in an incremental way (all modern development is incremental now days). So break it down to a very small amount, maybe 1 race, cut the stats back to a core group, cut down the number of classes to a handful, use only 1 elemental tier. After you have a working core concept (or even core game if you want to go that far) gradually add in more.

<Faint> the rules have been stated quite clearly 3 times now from high staff
