GDD - Items

Description

Items play an important role in the game. They can be collected by the player by walking over them and are spread throughout the map, usually found by cutting down bushes, opening chests, or defeating enemies.

What will the items be used for?

Items allow players to restore health and/or provide temporary buffs or debuffs.

This section is not yet finalized in the design phase, but items could be divided into four categories:

1. Consumables - Items that can be cooked and/or consumed for health restoration or buffs/debuffs.
2. Equippables - Items that can be equipped to provide various bonuses.
3. Exchangeables - Items that can be exchanged as currency to obtain other items.
4. Key Items - Permanent items related to abilities or the storyline.

Consumables

Consumables (which also function as cookables since they are food items) will be classified into four types: health restoration, stamina regeneration, attack power, and specials.

1. Health Restoration - These food items will allow Adira to restore health.
2. Stamina Regeneration - These food items will increase Adira's stamina regeneration.
3. Attack Power - These food items will enhance Adira's attack power.
4. Specials - These will apply special effects to any food consumed.
