Games like “Final Fantasy Tactics”, “Tactics Ogre” and “Fire Emblem” have always been my favorite RPGS, and from their inspiration, I began developing my own project, “Tactics Elemental”. A game rooted in tactical RPG fundamentals but taken to a place I’ve really never seen them taken before.
Presentation:The game features a story with a cast of nine main characters and 20 optional characters as they embark on a mission to save their world from a cosmic, existential catastrophe.
When you take your company of adventurers through the main story and on side quest adventures, some characters will grow closer together romantically. Forming a loving bond in this time of strife. As the bonds grow, erotic side stories called “Interludes” will become available. When an interlude concludes, the pair will enhance a special magical enchantment that gives both a tactical advantage in the battles to come. These interludes flesh out the character’s relationships. Reveal more about the world of Nowhere and are pretty durn hot.
There will be at least 224 available interludes to discover during your quest illustrated with over 500 sexy hi-resolution scenes. (Good lord I worked hard on this game.)
Everything supports the epic, rollicking take of friendship, adventure, comradery and existential betrayal as the good guys try to stop a crappy Armageddon with the aid of their best and only hope, the Eternial.
Technical Information:GAME TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Requirements
Any PC made in the last 7 years with any graphics card made in the last 7 years should be able to run this game on its highest settings.
(The development machine was and is a HP p71148 with a AMD A6-3600 APU with Radeon HD 2GHz… with 8gigs of ram on a 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS…(LOW END!)
Basically, if you can run any unity built game, you can run TE.
You *will* need about 10gig for your Hard disk… There are a LOT… a ((LOT)) of high-res images in this game!!! You can run it off a 16gig jumpdrive though… as long as you’ve got a usb2 connector… (I think you can do it with usb1 too.)
Unity version
I used unity 3d pro version 4.53. By the time I release the game unity 3d was well into version 5, but refitting the game to be compatible with 4.57 and beyond would have taken 2-3 months of recoding.
Program Files
The beta does not use bundled assets, so it is not compatible with DLC or external asset additions. The final release will have the proper hooks to include extra assets and DLC.
Each build uses its own folder file-tree and ignores previous build file trees (unless you overwrite one with another… then the last program that overwrote has priority… natch.)
The save games are in the folder: (UserName)/Appdata/Locallow/(User)/TacticsElemental(versionName)
Extensions like “.te3B1” signify save file compatibility. For example, versions that use save file extension “.te1” won’t load (or even recognize) extension “.te2″… If you go around renaming extensions, do it at your own savegame risk.
