Title: Roll to Be 1.5 Dimensional (75% Minimalist)-(6/6)
Post by: Dansmithers on June 27, 2013, 05:21:46 pm
Ah, the magical land of ---, so beautiful in its colors. Pity it's one-dimensional.

This is an RTD set in a land of one dimension because i wanted to illustrate, but I have no art skills. Your mission is to find out what this odd dimension is, and how to get out of it. Or to just dick around.

World Map:
(http://i43.tinypic.com/2hg73uc.png)
This game is set in the small land of Red-Orange-Red, where there is the small town of Purple-Yellow, situated close to Cyan-Grey mountain. Caves dot the mountain slopes, and a small wall keeps the monsters away from Purple-Yellow. On the other side of the mountain is Navy-Gold forest, an enigmatic place that is a total unknown.

Character Creation:
Color:Common name(e.g. puce, green, magenta) and Hex code if possible
Name:Obvious
Reach:How far(in pixels) your attacks can reach
Strength: How much damage your attacks do.
Vitality: How many hits you can take. One point is equal to five points of health.

You start with one point in each stat, and three points to distribute as you will.

Oh, forgot to note two things about dimensions:

1. What does 1.5 dimensional mean?

2. I was thinking of doing a 2D game...gr...

The illustration is sort of 1-dimensional, but not technically.

That's why I called it 1.5D. You can only move left or right.

That's 1D. Where's the other 0.5D?

The .5D is an expression representing the illusion of an extra dimension. For example, a 2.5D game is a 2D game that is designed to look like it has depth, but isn't a full 3D game.

Take a left? If you get lost, just try going right instead.

Walk to them. Rule of Fun dictates you can go 'down' into them.

It's a strange and theoretical combination of both left and right, moving in a direction that is neither.

Ponder how sound works in a 1.5D universe.

Attempt to move right.

Move about thirty pixels to the left.

Ask the Mayor what kind of monsters. Don't want to be walking in not knowing how screwed I am.

Ponder how you can see that something has three heads when everything is one-dimensional.
