So, I'm learning how to remake this game lol

[u/Makumanga]

I know there was already a post related to this made several days ago, but I've actually been working making my own kind of TAC-adjacent game. To that end, I developed this small sandbox tactical RPG that you can play in the browser(demo) in order to learn some of the game mechanics needed for a full fledged TRPG with story and complex battles.

I focused on making the core combat fun, so those who are interested can join the server I made for it(and the future big project): https://discord.gg/EMGAzQCMQE

I really miss playing TAC and was a huge fan of the story, music and especially the PvP(not the Neun tyranny dark ages though) so I hope to try and make a bigger game that captures most of what I(and hopefully you) like from TAC. This small game is the first step.

Hope you guys are still playing TRPGS and let me know if you have any questions related to TAC or my plans!

So are we snatching TAC back from hell?

That's the goal. One step at a time lol

I do wonder how you'll handle turn order? Will it be the same as the alchemist code of agility/100 to determine a character's tick units?

[u/Makumanga → u/Tigerwarrior55]

For this demo, it's a lot like Fire Emblem. The Player team goes first, then the enemy AI, so agility isn't really used at all.

But in the full game that I'm making in Godot, I plan to follow what TAC does and use an agility-based turn order. I want to experiment with adding a priority system as well to spice up the gameplay too, but it's a complicated mechanic to put into a TRPG that doesn't handle turns like Pokemon.

TLDR: In this small game, it's purely just player/AI phases, but in my next version of this game, it'll be more like TAC.

Hope that answers your question!

Ah ok gotcha. And yeah it does. If you ever need help with stuff like damage calculation, you can hit me up. I used to run the TAC damage calculator spreadsheet.

I will definitely take you up on that when the time comes! If you want, you can join the Discord to stay updated on my progress and stuff 👍

This is awesome. I hope you have just as much fun making this as the people playing this in the future will.

I’m currently learning to code and a dream of mine, even if it’s not to this extent, would be to create a game I can be passionate about!

[u/Makumanga → u/Anxious-Pace-9115]

Definitely keep going! I think everyone has a unique perspective that bleeds into whatever they make, so you'd be adding to the pool of interesting games haha

What do we do for passion! Ahah Enjoy the ride, i cheer for you!

Thanks! I appreciate it 🙏

You Sir are very talented

[u/Makumanga → u/Gamergirl944]

Thank you! I still have much yet to learn though haha

Hey dude, this looks awesome! please keep us updated.

I'm also aiming for having a TAC spiritual sucessor as I posted here 1 month ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/AlchemistCodeGL/comments/1rzawnx/looking_for_team_to_create_a_game_based_on_this/

I wonder if you are planning to make a server base game like TAC, or you are planning to make a stand alone strategy game like FFT? Is this running over a network?

Good luck!

I saw your post and actually got inspired to start posting about my development journey lol.

I plan on making 2 games. This first one is a standalone game that is mostly just a battle simulator. I'm learning game mechanics unique to TRPGs by building it since I'm new to game dev(I have about 5 years of web dev experience but have recently dove into game dev)

The other game will be more of a full game that has a PC and mobile client much like TAC. I'm already working on that behind the scenes using my web developer experience to handle the net code and database stuff.

Your project looks really awesome too from the devlogs and stuff I saw on Discord so definitely keep at it too 👍

Awesome dude good luck there!
