Alchemical Cataclysm
What is Alchemical Cataclysm?
Alchemical Cataclysm is a fantasy RPG project that I have been working on in my spare time. It is based on similar games such as Baldur's Gate, Divinity and Pathfinder. Alchemical Cataclysm has its own unique class and dice system as well as a unique story based on the D&D campaign I have worked on. Currently the scope of the project is to create a vertical slice prologue.
Why Create it?
My main objective for my game design career is to eventually work as an RPG designer. I have worked in my spare time to create this GDD for that exact purpose, so I can gain experience and practice at RPG design. Initially this GDD was meant only as a portfolio piece, but as industry friends and colleague became interested in the project I decided to start development on a vertical slice.
Game Design Document
The majority of my efforts have been focused on creating a GDD for the game. It outlines every single aspect that should be present in the game, from the combat system, to the dice system, the various classes and background and various other features that will be present in the game.
Through this document, the team I have assembled to develop Alchemical Cataclysm will be guided on how to effectively create a prototype.
Here is a link to the current state of the GDD.
