Unsung Story - Update# 12, Game Play Perspective

A Visual Look from a Game Play Perspective

Tonight we are sharing with you the first part in a series of updates that will expand on the game play mechanics for Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians. Again it is important to note that these details are all preliminary and may be subject to change; however we will make sure you know of any changes as they occur. You guys have been so great at posting up ideas and suggestions that with your help together we will be able to make this the game that we all have been waiting for.

This first update introduces a visual look into the game from a game play perspective. Each concept piece is representative of what the viewer would see from different camera angles. As we develop the game, we will research different approaches to the camera, comparing both fixed angles as well as a free camera, to find what is optimum for the user experience.

The battle system for Unsung Story is a turn based system that puts importance on speed for each units actions. Therefore, faster units will act on their turns first. The image below represents an example battle stage, as seen by the player, with the player’s party in blue and the opposing force in red. All of the world stages will be richly modeled and detailed, with various terrains and elevations.
