Game Design¶

MVP Game Loop¶

• roll like 4 randomly generated kaijuchan per "hand"

• player rolls 3 hands, has a chance to buy kaijuchan from each

• build a full hand by the end of the last pull

• gauntlet run aka roguelike loop through combat rounds:

  • roll new hand
  • fight them (compare of single stat like hp or charisma)
  • can copy one kaijuchan per round
  • copies go into storage

• manage kaijuchan team between combat rounds

• progressively roll higher and higher level kaijuchan to fight against

• catch and rotate higher level kaijuchan into your team to keep up

• go for highest number of rounds before you either

  • lose all your kaijuchan in combat or
  • "retire" a full team of kaijuchan (retiring takes them out of your party and storage for this run)

Better Combat:¶

• game engine (combat actions/field actions X items/kaijuchan moves)
• currency
• items & inventory (example items that up each stat and teach a small handful of kaijuchan moves)
• shops

in between gauntlet runs: sell kaijuchan cards, buy items, use items to increase your party's stats

Game Client:¶

• game client (tkinter)
• title screen
• view kaijuchan
• begin combat run
• buy items
• view gameplay stats and retired teams

Towns:¶

• transit menu
• can travel to electricity, earth, water, or normal town
• each town restricts gauntlets to kaijuchan of their type
• each town has an npc that you can talk to between gauntlet rounds
• each town has its own currency and item shop
