Mana Quest [Under Development] [Kickstarter] [RPGM]

We learned this in stats class! The Great Depression happened because shortening skirts caused riskier investments. 

 

(Or was that example about the correlation fallacy..?)

 

For real: Your First Manamon, barter tactics, and market dynamics. No doubt it's outside the scope of this game, but #3 reminds me of a conversation on games where player trading affects the local economy, and how that could be worked into eRPG in terms of supply/demand and developing communities.

The immense amount of work that goes into all the game's character designs marches on behind the scenes! Here's a few more bits and pieces of manamon sketches as a preview of said design efforts:

 

Each of the girls shown here were designed with input from one of the game's lovely backers. :3

That is exactly how it works actually :3 If you sell too much of one thing, the prices will crash, and you won't be able to sell them for any real value for a while until the price resets. Sometimes certain items are also in demand (for example warm clothes in the first week of winter, stuff like that).

As summer starts to give way to autumn, here's a look at how seasonal changes and weather will look in Mana Quest! In this video, you can see not only the different seasons but also the transition state where the next season starts to bleed into the current one to provide a more gradual shift. There's also the lighting brought on by weather conditions and time of day to make the game's environments feel as dynamic and immersive as possible!

 

And as a bonus, here's the city map during a fall rainstorm. Cozy, innit? :3
