2D RPG Pitch Proposal

Idea #1: Time Travel

• Time travel-based plot

• Puzzles involve doing things in past to affect or alter the present

• Mechanic to travel between past/present versions of the same map
• button press
• item or specific warp point

• Ex. of possible enemy encounter:
• Boss enemy too powerful in present to defeat
• Travel to past and fight a weaker version of the same enemy
• Continue boss fight in present against weakened boss

• Possible multiplayer function
• One player in present, one player in past
• Player in past does things to aid player in present (ex: fighting the two versions of the same boss/enemy)

• Possible reference material:
• Back to The Future
• Zelda: Oracle of Ages (GB Color)
• Chrono Trigger (SNES)

Idea #2: Nature/Elements

• Use the elements of nature to solve puzzles
• Fire, water, wind, lightning, etc.

• Earn powers progressively
• Start with one power, earn the rest by completing dungeons (ex: zelda)
• Possibly earn transformations that each have their own unique powers

• Enemies have elemental types and can only be defeated by using the corresponding element (ex: pokemon)
• Water-based enemy can only be defeated by electricity, etc.
