LudumDare 37 Idea

Ludum Dare 37: The RPG Shop

THEME: One Room

Summary: In a world filled magic, fantasy creatures, and heroes, the world is slowly being consumed by a great evil dragon far off in the distance plotting world domination. There is a big reward from the king to slay the evil beast to bring the world back to peace. This story is completely irrelavant as an entrepeneuar and you take this chance to create a business to help aid adventures and peasants alike and to make enough money to survive the next month. Your true antagonst is no demon king, or dragon, but the customer themselves.

Genre: Simulation, RPG, Fantasy

Game:
You control a character that owns a shop, his role is to stock things in the shop and generate interest and try to persuade customers to buy things.
You can watch what is in demand and try to sell the items at higher prices or sell unwanted items at low prices. The main system will be the bartering system which reflects off the players stat skill vs the customer stats.

Setting: Shop in a fantasy world. Can watch people walking outside of your shop.

Mechanics-

		Player Stats:
					-	Appraisal		(Identify an Item) ??? [Low Priority]
					-	Charisma		(Offensive)
					-   Assertive      (Pressure a customer to buy something, generate interest, get penalty in barter system) [Low Priority]
					-	Persistence   (Defense)
					- 	Sanity			(Health)  Restore on sleep
					-	Identify			(Reveal the Personality)  ??? [Low Priority]

		Customer Stats:
					-	Charisma		(Offensive)
					-   Assertive      (Pressure a customer to buy something, generate interest, get penalty in barter system) [Low Priority]
					-	Persistence   (Defense)
					- 	Sanity			(Health)  Restore on sleep

		Perks:	(WIP)		 [Low Priority]
					-Charmer - Opposite Sex likes you better
					-Kid Friendly - Children Like you better

		Stages of the Day:
				-Morning			-		Supply/Demand or/and special event
				-Before Opening - 	Put items on shelves
				-Opened 			 - 		Wait behind counter
				-Closed				 -		Stats are restored,
												can increase stat points at this time if leveled,
												see income for that day then month, additional reports can be shown

		Random Events:
					-King can ban Items (can't sell it or becomes Very valuable [black market]) [Low Priority]
					-Supply Demand changes everyday. (Either buy groups or specifics)
					-Thief will walk in and steal items, click on user and yell Theif! [Low Priority]
					-Disease is spreading

		Customers:
				Customers will be the main antagonist against the player. They will determine if the player wins or loses the game. Before the bartering system can happen the customers must be "interested" on an item. Interest is based on how the character is generated and events taking place in the game. (Players may be able to influence the interest stat on the customer)
				Customers will be generated :

				Gender,		-Gender determines the things they like in their roles (Males enjoy heavy work, while females enjoy jewrly in this setting)
				Age,				-A kid would enjoy sweets and entertainment, while and old guy wants relaxation
				Equipment,	-This is probably just aesthetic since this matches with Occupation
				Personality,	-Determines the characters base stats (also determines speech patterns)
				Name,			-Generated name (possibly regulars?)
				Level,			-Determines the stats boosts on the character (difficulty)
				Occupation	-What they are most likely going to buy based on their occupation (EX: smith would likely buy ingots)

		Bartering System WIP: Minigame of some type based on stats   ???????????????WIP????????????
				Pokemon like battle but bartering -
				Bartering based on the persons personality.

				Select the base price to negotiate from (will notify if you are under/over selling)
				Can choose four abilities to negotiate the price
				Fight against the customer through this system and hints from dialouge
				Sanity (health) decreases through the battle. Can increase sanity by under selling?
				Some fights won't be worth the sanity cost, sanity resets on sleep.
				The abilities cost sanity?

				Abilities: Lower Price, Deal, Raise Price

Goal of Game:
Try to see how many days the player can survive until king Taxes cannot be paid. Gets progressively harder with each month.

Customer Scripts
------------------------------------

GameManager
	Number of customers (30)
	left & right spawner (invisable gameObjects)

CustomerGenerator.cs

		-Random First & Last Name
		-Random Occupation
		-Random Personality
		-Get Random Personlity Modifier
		Take these data and create customer prefab and put into spawnlist

//CustomerSpawner.cs
	//	-Just wrapper to determine left or right

Customer.cs
		Start() - Give predetermine path to go inside shop or outside shop.
		Name, Occupation, Personality
		Left/Right spawn
		Leave()  goes to opposite side from spawn (based on Left/right)
		GoIntoShop() - goes into shop (and also give randomed idle and buy chances [will be setup from along with generated)
		CheckRandomItem() - Go to item that customer is not occupying, if none left just leave.
		Update() - Customer has random Idle Time when checking random item
		Idle() -	When Idle Time is up customer will attempt to try buy item based off parameters
		AttemptBuy() - If success Barter(), if fails CheckRandomItem() or Leave()
		Barter() - Goes to desk to start barter (customer remembering table ID)

TimeDate.cs
		Runs a clock in update()
		SpawnRate : Day Length - 1 Minute / Amount of People

Barter.cs


=========================================
Calculations/Math
=========================================


Customer:

	Spawn System
	Should generate about 30 people on start of day. Destroy all customers at end of day.
	People spawn rate =  Day Length - 1 Minute / Amount of People
	Already Calculate if they go into building or not
		-Going In based on interest, occupation, whim (random modifier)
		Math = Customer Base Interest + Bonus on occupation (from items (can be more than one) in window) + item's base interest,  + whim (random modifyer)
	Spawn from either left or right side of building.

Go inside building if interest are met
If customer not interested, leaves store (destroy object)
If customer then go to desk and bater event plays. (time stops when this happens)

Barter:
Simply Increase/Decrease Price
Customer will compare from base point and determine if they like price based on

interest? (based on item group)
personality?
occupation?
whim? (random modifier)

If price to high customer hints the price change

(cost from player is determine by price% from original)

Haggle Button? Increase change to get but only so many tries, might have to use mulitple times on one person.
To increase usage on haggle, need to sell at lost?

When customer buys item (item dissappears on table) and leaves. (or customer just leaves without buying) *Make sure next customer isn't cued up for the same item.

Math:
-------
Reluctance vs Interest = Interest must be higher or equal to go into shop
Whim= 0%-50% total Reluctance

Going Inside: Item's Base Interest(%) + (Occupation modifiyer) * (number of items) + whim (0% - 70%) vs high reluctance (80%)  (gets higher every week?)

(Random movements to different items, amount of times, random idle, then buy or leave based on items customer was looking at (priority on buy, based on occupation vs ) )
math (items to buy when in shop )

Buying Item: Item's Base Interest (%) + (Occupation modifiyer) + whim (-50% - 50%) vs reluctance (70%)
(Buyer buys item)

Bartering math = (sell price)/(base price) + (personality modifier) + (Occupation modifier) = acceptable %range

$100 -> $200 = 200%   check to see if 200% price is acceptable

Personality Modifier:
			-Timid				80%-100%
			-Bold				40%-60%
			-Careful			40%-50%
