Hi everyone,
In this dev-blog, we will talk about Terra Randoma’s equipment and armor system.
There is countless equipment and armor in Terra Randoma, thanks to the item generator using prefixes and suffixes and a wide range of materials they can be made of: wood, copper, iron, steel or aquatril and linen, silk, spidersilk or sharkskin.
Different items have different weight too. Using heavy equipment consumes your stamina before you know it, unless your athletics skill level is high. Heavy equipment will also consume more stamina when using your sprint ability.
Your starting equipment depends on the choice of character background you make at the beginning of the game. So if you start as a retired gladiator, you will have a kind of decent melee weapon to start with, a rusty mace, but your range weapon will be most basic, a wooden shortbow.
Terra Randoma has a super user-friendly inventory interface in old school RPG style. This will help you manage your equipment and armor very efficiently. When you open your backpack, you can see not only what's inside your backpack and yourself with the equipment and armor you are wearing, but also your character statistics. So you know exactly what happens when you wear or take off an equipment. It takes only seconds to optimize, tidy up and get going.
