Chương 10: Crafting System
With the Karma System now in work, Rohan thought of another important aspect of game, a crafting system.
This would let players gather materials, create their own weapons, armor, and artifacts, and feel like they were shaping the game world with their hands.
He spoke aloud, knowing the system was always ready to respond. "We need a crafting system. Something that connects to the world we've built. Players should be able to gather materials from all over the game, some easy to find, others hidden or guarded by powerful creatures."
The system's voice responded quickly. "What kind of materials are needed?"
Rohan thought for a moment, then said, "Elemental resources. Fire, water, earth, air, all the basic elements should be part of it. Players can gather metals, enchanted woods, magical gems, and other materials that have those elemental properties. These will affect the items they craft."
The system displayed a map of the game world, showing where these materials could be found.
Rohan imagined players exploring mountains for rare metals, wandering forests for enchanted wood, or diving into deep caves to search for magical gems.
"Not just regular materials," Rohan added. "We also need rare, mythological ingredients too. Stuff like Sanjeevani, a healing herb, or Vajra Metal, the material from Indra's thunderbolt. And things like Nagini's Scale, which would be really hard to get, maybe protected by a powerful creature or hidden in a tough dungeon."
The system added these rare materials to the game, placing them in different regions, guarded by monsters or hidden deep within temples or caves.
"Now, let's give players different crafting professions," Rohan said. "Each player should be able to choose a profession, like Blacksmithing, Alchemy, Enchanting, or Artificing. Each will have its own items to craft."
The system responded, "Please define each crafting profession."
Rohan leaned forward. "Blacksmithing will focus on making weapons, shields, and heavy armor. Players who choose this profession can craft things like the Brahmastra, a powerful weapon, or Shiva's Trishula, a legendary trident."
The system processed the information, showing players working at forges, hammering out swords and shields, and crafting powerful gear.
"Alchemy will be for potions and runes," Rohan continued. "Alchemists can brew potions for things like invisibility, strength, or resistance to fire or other elements. They can also create runes to add magic to weapons or armor."
Rohan watched as the system generated an alchemist's lab, where players would mix ingredients and combine them to create potions with different effects.
"Enchanting is about imbuing weapons and armor with magic," Rohan explained. "Players can add things like fire damage to a sword, or make armor stronger and last longer. They'll also be able to craft magical artifacts that enhance a player's abilities."
The system created enchanting stations, showing players working to give weapons special powers or making artifacts that could change how players fought or defended themselves.
"Artificing," Rohan said with a smile, "is for crafting special artifacts and accessories. Players can make things like the Sudarshana Chakra, a disc weapon, or the Kavacha, a mystical armor that offers protection from almost anything."
As Rohan spoke, the system built crafting areas for artificers, where players could create intricate and rare items that were harder to find but incredibly powerful.
"Crafting shouldn't just be about finding materials," Rohan added after a pause. "Players will need blueprints to make legendary items. They'll find these blueprints hidden in temples or get them as rewards from NPCs after completing tough quests. And they'll need to learn the lore of each item before they can craft it."
The system integrated blueprints into the game, with players needing to complete quests or explore dangerous areas to uncover the knowledge needed to craft these special items.
"Once they have the materials and the blueprint, they can use special crafting stations" Rohan continued. "Sacred forges, alchemical labs, and divine shrines each tied to the profession the player chooses. That's where they'll assemble everything."
The system placed crafting stations throughout the game world, each one specific to the crafting profession.
Players will make pilgrimages of these sacred sites, gathering everything they needed to create powerful gear and items.
"Karma should play a part in this too," Rohan said, "If a player has high karma, the items they craft should reflect that. A sword might have holy light, or armor might protect against dark magic. But if their karma is low, the items should be darker, like a weapon that drains life from enemies or armor that boosts power but comes with a cost."
The system adjusted the crafting mechanics, ensuring that the player's karma level would affect the quality and nature of the items they made.
Rohan liked how even crafting would tie into the moral choices players made.
"Players should also be able to customize their items," Rohan added. "They can add inscriptions, personalize their weapons or armor, and maybe even dedicate their crafted items to a specific deity. That could give them extra bonuses."
The system created customization options, showing how players could add their own touches to the items they crafted, making them unique.
"Finally, we need to add crafting quests," Rohan said. "These quests will send players all over the game world to gather rare materials. They'll have to face challenges like fighting strong guardians or solving ancient puzzles. The rewards for these quests should be rare materials or unique blueprints."
The system added crafting quests to the game, with each one tied to different professions.
"For the most powerful artifacts, players will need to complete divine trials"
Rohan continued. "These trials will test their skill and karma. If they succeed, they'll be able to craft items that are extremely powerful."
The divine trials appeared in the game world, each one a test of both the player's abilities and their morality.
Rewards for such trials would make players earn the right to craft these legendary items after passing the trials.
"One last thing," Rohan said. "Players should be able to upgrade their crafted items over time. As they progress in the game, they can make their weapons and armor stronger. Some items might even 'awaken' after being used a lot or reaching a certain karma level, unlocking new abilities or transforming into a more powerful version."
The system finalized the crafting system, adding the ability for items to evolve as players used them, making the game feel more dynamic and personal.
As the system's confirmed all the additions, signaling the completion of the crafting system, Rohan leaned back.
This wasn't just about players making items. It about gathering rare materials, solving puzzles, defeating powerful enemies, and creating something that reflected their own choices and skills.
