TGM:I "Mei Yan"

Earth is found and invited into a multiversal civilization along with several parallel Earths with each societies competing to be the first to finish the tutorial and conquering their designated worlds.

The magician (user - you) is lucky to be selected to participate in the competition but has to go through the tutorial in one of the academies the civilization has created for humanity. The magician is taught magick, history, and other miscellaneous skills.

The magician has a repertiore of magic abilities in which they can move their character, create, switch and stack magic spells, and plant magical herbs in an assigned garden.

Mei Yan is a proof of concept and a prototype game of the story TGM:I.

Magic System

Tiers:

• Beginner
• Intermediate
• Advanced
• Expert
• Master
• Grand

Ranks 1-9 except Master and Grand

Aspirant Magicians are screened to map their stats (CON, CMP, QIC and LUK). They are all hidden stat. There are also other stats such as cast speed, and physical and magical efficiency. LUK cannot be raised. CON can be raised through both efficiency stats and herbal medicine. Cast speed is raised through magical efficiency. CON raises total mana/qi which helps clear meridians (calculated every day) which raises QIC stat.

Advancing through tiers and ranks raises every stats' base value except for cast speed, an exponential curve (limit increases for every advancement).

Basic Stats Multiplier

Constitution(CON)

CON is a measurement of the body's ability to take physical and magical stress. It is also used for damage calculation, total mana/qi calculation, defense, magical defense.

• A base stat viewable in the game.
• Exponential ceiling growth

Example:

Name	Type	Weight	Base
Constitution	Attribute	0.7	0.5	d
Comprehension	Attribute	0.3	0.3	d
Qi Circulation	DerivedAttribute	1.1	0.7	d
Meridians	Function	1	1	d

Comprehension (CMP)

Qi Circulation(QIC)

Qi Circulation is the measurement of qi circulation in the body respective of the magicians realm (tier and rank). It is used for total mana/qi calculation, physical and magical efficiency. Lowers with every realm advancement.

• Calculated base qi is dependent on tier and rank.

QI and ME

$$ QIC = CON * {Qi^{1.4} \over Qi - 1} * 0.1 $$

Qi/Mana

$$ Qi = ME $$

Special Stats

Physical Efficiency and PE Coefficient

• Body control. Raises attack, speed, cast speed. Raised through medicines and physical practice. PE is ffected by Medicine - Physique(pm), PE Coefficient(pec),
• Logarithmic growth, capped at 100%

$$ n = new, c = current $$

$$ nPE = cPE \sqrt{(1+pm+{1 \over pec})} $$

Magical Efficiency and ME Coefficient

• Magical Control. Raises attack, magical attack, speed, cast speed. Raised through QI stat, medicines, and magical practice.
• Logarithmic growth, starts at 10, capped at 100%

$$ ME_{ceiling} = {(QIC)^{1.5} \over QIC-1} \ln(QIC)+10 $$

$$ x = (mm * mec) + mgp $$

$$ ME_{%}= 100% <= {x \over ME_{ceiling}} * 100 $$

Cast Speed

Speeds up casting of spells(free-form and spell-form). Raised through physical and magical efficiency.

Training Stats

Medicine - Physique and Physical Practice

• Medicine - Physique ($pm$) is the medicine's property to stimulate the magicians body to further accomodate magical particles.

$$ pm = (1-{resist \over 100}) \times ({efficiency \times (tier+rank) \over 100}) $$

$$ tier, rank, efficiency, resist = int $$

• Physical practice ($pyp$) done by user within a day.

Medicine - Magick and Magical Practice

• Magical practice ($mgp$) done by user within a day.

Practice Calculation

Affinity

Ability to gather specific element particles causing less qi usage. Affected by ME. Specific element awakening depends on environment's elemental properties e.g. fire room increases fire element awakening chance.

Removed Stats

Strength (STR)

STR is a derivative property from the magician's constitution and physical efficiency. It might not be needed because damage calculation relies on constitution, QI, magical efficiency and other attack and resist values.

Dexterity (DEX)

DEX is a measure of speed, dodge/hit chance, body control which could be a derivative property of physical efficiency in this game. So it will have to be removed in the meantime.

Item Stats

Medicine

Medicine enhances the magician's physique and magical abilities through various ways.

• Cleaning up QI (increasing QI stat),
• Connecting mind to soul sea (increasing ME) e.g. bigger soul sea/firmer hold of authority,
• Integrating magic particles to physique (increasing PE) e.g. cleaner/bigger meridians,
• Connecting nerve cells/faster reaction time, improving physique (CON) e.g. more magical energy per cell -> greater strength,
• Better eyesight, healing wounds e.g. recovering hp, regeneration

Challenges

The user can create, and switch skills in limited slots while being able to move(using movement with magic abilities) during battle. Find out what design pattern(s) is needed to achieve this. The user can raise and harvest herbs in the game.

Character Movement

The user can move and attack at the same time during battle. They can also use all limbs to either attack or move.

Problem 1

Figure out the strategy to achieve attacking and moving at the same time. Solution 1 Use a dynamic heirarchical state machine to manage ability changes and movement. Both inherits from a base state which they can use to communicate between each other.

Farming Aspect

Problem 1

The user can collect plant seeds in the game. Find out what is needed(the strategy?) for the entire plant ecology.

Problem 2

The user can raise and harvest plants in the game. Find out what design pattern is needed for the farming feature.

Stat and Skills

Problem 1

Create the class diagram for stat attributes. Solution 1 STR, DEX, CON, QI, and LUK inherit from BaseAttribute class with each stat...

Problem 2

Create the class diagram for physical and magical efficiency. Solution 1
