Announcing My New Project – Rise of the Forgotten Hero
I’m excited to announce that I’ve begun working on a new project: Rise of the Forgotten Hero, a text-based RPG that I’m developing from scratch. This project is not just a game but also a journey of learning and growth in programming, particularly in Python, data structures, algorithms, and functional programming.
What Is Rise of the Forgotten Hero?
Rise of the Forgotten Hero is a classic role-playing game that immerses players in a world of adventure where they can choose to become a mage, rogue, or warrior. Each class has its own unique skills, equipment, and ways of interacting with the game world. The story is centered around gaining experience, leveling up, and ultimately facing the final challenge—a fierce dragon that threatens the kingdom.
Why This Project?
This project is a significant step for me in developing my skills as a programmer and game developer. I’m using it as a platform to apply what I’ve learned in Python and to explore more advanced topics such as:
Class-Specific Mechanics: Designing character classes with unique abilities and resource management (mana for Mages, stamina for Rogues and Warriors).
Turn-Based Combat: Implementing a combat system that requires strategy and resource management.
Exploration and Quests: Creating a game world that evolves as the player progresses, offering new challenges and rewards.
The Journey Ahead
Over the coming weeks, I’ll be dedicating 1 to 2 hours each day to this project while balancing my school responsibilities. I’ve outlined a project proposal that includes my goals, milestones, and a timeline, which I’ll be following closely.
My plan includes:
Character Creation: Building the core mechanics for selecting and initializing player characters.
Combat System: Developing the basic turn-based combat system.
World Building: Designing the initial exploration area and integrating quests that advance the story.
As I work on Rise of the Forgotten Hero, I’ll be sharing regular updates on this blog. I’ll discuss the challenges I face, the solutions I discover, and the progress I make. I hope this journey will not only improve my skills but also inspire and engage others who are interested in game development.
Feel free to follow along, leave comments, or share your thoughts. Your feedback will be invaluable as I move forward.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I’m looking forward to what lies ahead and am excited to share it with all of you.
If you’re interested in following the development of Rise of the Forgotten Hero, be sure to subscribe to the blog for updates. I’m eager to hear your thoughts and feedback as I bring this project to life.
