Playing RPG games has always filled me with excitement, and since I mostly played online, many of those games were MMORPGs or closely related RPG titles.

Because of those nostalgic and passionate experiences, I decided to work on my own RPG game. Of course, I know it is a huge project, and I am not aiming to create something for sale. My main goal is to develop the systems, mechanics, and overall gameplay.

I want to go on this journey and learn not only Godot, but game development in greater depth.

So I am starting with this game, and I will see how far I can take it.

One game that left a particularly strong impression on me was the first Diablo.

As a reference, I would like to stay as close as possible to that game’s style and mechanics, while still adding some of my own taste.

This was the original Diablo 1 Game Concept by Condor:

Hell Magus is a single-player isometric action RPG with dungeon-crawl elements. The player explores and interacts with the world mainly using the mouse, while actions such as casting spells are triggered through keyboard input. Across the game, the player can collect items, learn spells, defeat enemies, and speak with non-player characters (NPCs).

The dungeon floors are procedurally generated, and each one has its own theme.

Players receive quests from different tiers, they often reward powerful unique items and help the character level up and/or uncover more of the story.

I am building this game because I want to learn both game development and Godot, so I try to approach the project through reusable systems.

This list may change over time, but these are the systems I currently plan to implement:

• Character system for stats, resources, and progression
• Navigation system for movement and pathfinding
• Inventory system
• AI system
• Quest system

Initially, I will use free assets or placeholders, then replace some of them during the polishing stage.

I try to keep the scope simple and avoid overdoing the visual side, so I can focus more on programming than on the art.
