Hello. I want to make an odd rpg but I'm not sure how to do it.
Things I wish to learn how to do:
-Player collects items from the wild or battle.
-Player uses the items to do alchemy and cooking.
-make weapons and armors.
-build buildings for NPCs
-Build and design their own house/office/workshop.
-Pets and NPCs as team members.
The games that I'm using for ref, are:
Mana Khemia - The Alchemy, cooking, weapons and armor
Final Fantasy - Battle system, Magic system
Rune Factory 4 - Story idea became from this game
Star Ocean 4 - A few items from it.
