New Game Idea - Currently Unnamed

New Game Idea - Currently Unnamed. I am wondering what your opinion on this game is. It will be like FF tactics but not quite. Keep in mind that this will probably not be as extravagant as some of your games, as I am still a beginner. I have made 1.75 games (the ¾ part is because I’m almost done another one). While I finish my current game I often plan or work on a new one. It will be programmed with C++ and Win32. Maybe DirectX, but I still need to practice with it. Concept Like I stated earlier, it will be somewhat like FF Tactics. It will have a few major differences though. Unlike Tactics, it will be primarily multiplayer, H2H. Players will begin with a single character, level 1 with no armour or weapons. From there the player can train against computer opponents, visit a store to purchase new characters, weapons, armour etc. Players will level up as they fight more. Obviously there will be save files and you won’t have to start from scratch every time Programming style I plan on making this OOP. There will be classes for weapons, armour, player, etc. Like I said, it will be made with C++ and Win32. Aside from that it will be in multiple source files. Items Concepts Items will be able to be purchased from the store, or retrieved from corpses of defeated opponents. I am contemplating the idea of weather the player will have the ability to create their own items (for a price of course). There will also be spells and skills, which will be gained as the player levels up. Spells will have to be purchased with level points. Every time a player levels they gain some level points which can be used to purchase spells or skills. Game Play The game will be played on a grid, probably about 15x15 tiles. It will be turn based. Each turn, the player will get the choice to attack, move, cast a spell, use an item etc. Upon death a character will be resurrected automatically at a cost of some XP (undecided). The victor of a match will have all participating characters gain XP depending on the XP of the competitors. XP will be directly proportional to their level. Each team in a match will consist of 5(?) or less characters. They will move in a random, pre-decided order. Attacks, spells, defence, and turn order will all be influenced by the stats strength, intelligence, defence, and speed respectively. Graphics The graphics will be 2D, where each character looks like a red or blue circle with the name of the character written in the circle. I am no graphics genius so the graphics will probably not be of the greatest quality but they will be there. What I Want From You A name for one. An unnamed game isn't cool. In general, I'd just like some comments on what you like about the idea and what you don't. The idea of combat, items, multiplayer etc. Conclusion This is a project that I am highly anticipating completing so I will probably finish it. Thanks to you people of GameDev, I have almost completed my first project and look forward to completing another. - Darobat

I'm not going to have "units". Basicly, the character will aquire new members, up to 5 on their team. I don't have to worry about balancing it but I do need to make sure that mages and fighters, the two extremes, are balanced. I've also already figured out all the stats. I dont need to worry about the "asshole" effect because it will be H2H meaning that both players will be in the same room. You won't be able to shoot on a diagonal. The character in front will get hit if there are two players. Basicly when you click on a character it will show you what you can do, who you can attack and where you can move.

*UPDATE* - The game now has a menu and premisis for the items. I'm working on the character creation system and the character concept.
