Bravely Bound RPG

Bravely Bound is back! I’ve been working on a Pico 8 RPG which is a prequel to Bravely Bound, and will have a number of side games like the tamagotchi/dungeon diving game pictured above called Cat Slime Does a Dungeon.

The sprite I’ll be using to represent encounters on the map for my lesbian web RPG Bravely Bound.

I was planning to do a fully random invisible encounters type system like Final Fantasy, but after doing more research decided against it. I like the idea of having encounters visible on the map so you can avoid them, because it makes things more interesting. But I can’t afford to make sprites for every monster in the game for the map as well, so I decided to use a generic encounter and what you’ll get if you hit it is random.

This system will be a little more work up front than truly random encounters, but once I get it set up it should be barely any more work.

I knew I wanted something with Bound in the title, because of some of the themes I have planned for the story about feeling trapped either physically or by duty. ‘Bravely’ hints at vulnerability, but also the fact that it’s an RPG where things are killed with weapons.
