Would You Like To See An Achaean Combat Video Game? (RTS/MOBA)

Xith

No MMORPGs. Much of Achaea's Frankenstein'd lore wouldn't stand up in an MMORPG and they're extremely hard to make.

Graphical Pros

+Several compelling and unique classes and skills (Serpent, Occultist, Alchemist)

+Dynamic qualitative combat tactics more compelling than just quantitative hitpoints

Graphical Cons

-Curative-based combat is so fast that it would be difficult to present graphically, would be watered down and adjusted
-Content heavy, would require lots of animation

MOBA
1v1 duels in lane, plus something like Achaea's 3v3 teamfights, possibly certain arena modes.

-Difficult to translate Achaea's heavy micromanagement into MOBA controls. 

Using League for comparison, maybe swap Rune pages with Artefact pages

and swap Masteries with a user-programmable combo system with conditions to set attack patterns and reduce the micro load?

- some text abilities become 3D skillshots and there is more mobility than with Achaea's single-room mechanics

RTS

Think traditional medieval armies accompanied by mass jesters, magi, serpents, etc.
Gameplay would be similar to Achaea's raids and counter-raids, with a few powerful units invading and using auto-cast or player-cast abilities in tandem.
Possibly map levels based on Achaea's cities. Attack and conquer territories on a world map.

Certain class-based defenses and abilities would require research each match.
Faction-oriented strategies (Good, Evil, Chaos, Nature, Art, Science, etc.)

+Ship combat?
-Difficult to balance combat interactions between units, would be less macromanagement than most RTS players are used to.
-May require additional non-achaean unit types to flesh out unique factions. (Chaos knights, etc.)

-Hard to balance gameplay progression being too fast or slow.

Just doing a little thought experiment here. Anything here resonate with anybody?

Bonus question:

Which would be the hardest class to translate graphically?

Was gonna add an 'Other genre' option, but suggestions for rhythm games and dating sims are not welcome.

Kythra

11/10 would want achaea dating sim. Lifelike with all the Minian loiterers. Would ship Atalkez x

Farrah and Cooper x Proficy.

Didn't someone already play Achaea as a rhythm game by pking using their piano keyboard?

Yes they did. I remember that nerd. I don't remember which nerd but there was a nerd.

Jacen

It was Iocun, or he was one of the ones who did

Ryzeth

Let's get Earth Eternal v2.0, that game was amazing.

Torben

what you really need is to make a game like this. Would sell millions, and besides. We all wanted to see it

Xith

Now that I think about it, a fighting game does make sense. Didn't even think of those. But the animations would have to be even more fluid and detailed since they're up close. Plus high-res models.

MKX is basically all vivisections anyway. I'm not sure it would compete. Plus, fighting game strategy is very dependent on movement and positioning. Achaea's "footsie" game is non-existent.

Berenene

If you could take part in the combat with a garbage can lid and a belt, then count me in!

For you it would be a rejection simulator.

Kythra

With Dream Daddy I can finally live my bishy dreams to the max and ship Cooper x Proficy. Finally. :')

Cooper x Farrah dance cutscene imo.
