The game is called SkewerDolls
It’s a 3rd person game
You are a SkewerDoll
A skewerdoll is a living skewer stacked with blocks for body parts/clothing
The mechanics of the game is you also use skewers
As a spear or bo staff
Or sword
And you can stab things
Like fruits
Vegetables
Animals too saldy
You use your mouse to swing around your skewer
To stab
You pull and lunge your mouse to stab
There are 3 types of skewers
One sided
Double sided
And dual wield
#A Game I wanted to share with everyone

one sided and double sided skewers are two handed can be one handed depending on the weight
for 2 handed skewers
you press left click to attack
but press right click to block
like by directions
you can even do a helicopter move
for dual wielded skewers
left for the left skewer and right for the right skewer
both you can swing with or block with
but you use them like a weapon right?
you can stab and stack fruits, vegetables, and meat
but what about weapon attachments?
You can find sledgehammer heads and stab them
and you now have a sledgehammer
and not only sledgehammer heads
spear heads
axe heads
Broom heads
you can stack anything
you can even make your own weapons!
like a triple hammer head skewer
and yeah
also you can stack materials
like wood
and there is a different variety of skewers
you can even make one too
if you got the materials for it
Also for moving
there is no holding shift or double tapping to sprint
holding the arrows or awsd
you walk
to run
You must press one of the keys repeatedly
that sounds uncomfortable
but overally this game idea can work
but just keep the conventional sprint
you dont waste the game stamina
you waste your stamina
im also thinking of bullet-time focusing
Yes but then the stamina might vary by the person that plays
people can and will complain about it
hmmmmmm
what do then?
ok
also think really hard before making it 3d because 3d games are a lot more work than 2d if you're new
so basically slowing down time?
yes
sure why not
well first decide what controls you want
two keys I'd consider most are Shift and RMB
I was thinking shift
then you'll need a different key for sprinting though
i want you to guess them
Ctrl should be fine
yeah
or Shift for run and RMB for bullet time
wait i forgot to ask but what's rmb?
right mouse button
right mouse button is for the skewers
if you have a dual wield
you use rmb to swing the right skewer
or block if its just a single skewer
But im thinking about game modes
i think you know what are the 3 game modes
singleplayer
multiplayer
and story (its not about you though)
also
in singleplayer
when you start a game
you are shown a map of the planet
Planet StickStack
Or just StickStack
you can choose from I'm thinking
4 countries
I dont have the names though
but for one
you will be born as a regular, soft, or hard wood skewer doll
the 2nd
you will be born as a metallic skewerdoll
maybe silver
copper
iron
the 3rd choice
you will be born as a mountain wood or metal skewerdoll (a new type of wood that is durable that steel but easily flammable)
and finally 4th
you will be born as a bamboo skewer
avoid online multiplayer for now
Ok
i know
ill do it after multiplayer
which multiplayer is after single
first do singleplayer before worrying about other
I will
So things you can do in the game
you can find restaurants around the world
and you can help those restaurants
they tell you what you need
you explore the area for the ingredients
stab
stack
dip
come back
give out the skewers
and let them snack
but there are these enemies that are in the way
I havent given them an appearance
and an official name
first name that came up to my head was Gobblins
they attack you and gobble up your skewer
speaking of getting attacked
im thinking
should the health system just be hearts on a skewer or a system showing how damaged your body is
even though you can kill a skewer doll by simply snapping them 💀
im gonna show what a skewer doll looks like
and at the same time show the main character of the story mode too
(The skewer is not supposed to bend btw. It’s wood.)
and this one in position
Ok
also
if you're confused about him bending his body
cartoon physics applies in their system
some of it
so from the countries you are born from in StickStack
they all have some general buildings
like stores of course
there's a blacksmith
a woodworks
all meant for crafting skewers
and blocks to wear
you can become a skewer doll of anything you want
you can have 4 arms
or 6 legs
depending on your size you can stack yourself from 1-6 blocks (in general)
you can be a christmas tree
you can be a tripod
a tower
oh wait
i just realized how can you use 4 arms
lets just focus on 3 stack skewer dolls
So I don't know where to start off
i dont know about coding
but about modeling the assets
since it's a custom character
I need to make separate assets
Go for the simpler option for now
core mechanics first
everything else later
oke
first thing you want to make is a working prototype, no matter how crappy, it just has to work and have all the core features
then you build on that
ok
Im going to sleep now so good luck
