General Terry the Territorial Turtle is a video game I am working on inspired by Secret of Mana on the Super Nintendo, and Super Mario Brothers 3 on the NES system. Right now, at the prototype level, Terry journey's the forest eating fruit and mushrooms and collecting diamonds. The goal is to get familiar with the forest and its assets for future events. In real life, box turtles are territorial, and generally prefer to live within the same region for life. Terry is no different, so this game will exist within the forest, his home. What makes this game unique is that the forest will constantly be changing with new challenges and events. Weather will change, new enemies enter the forest, new obstacles like forest fires and construction, humans enter the forest, and more. Through each challenge Terry will have to adjust and face them to survive.
I envision this game to be partly RPG with elements from fighting games (for the combat system) and platform games (again seen in the combat system). In other words, I would like to see Terry jump on the heads of some lesser enemies, like in a platform game, while engaging in full on combat like in Secret of Mana when facing bosses and stronger enemies.
I want the appeal of this game to be in the graphics, in the music, and in the character Terry the Territorial Turtle. Please join me and support this game, you can follow its progress here on itch.io at https://ronaldaam.itch.io/playturtlegame
