Forgotten God (In-Dev BE-RPG)

After coding a bit in Ren'Py for the CGF Ren'Py Engine, I've gained confidence in being able to code a turn-based BE RPG.

TL;DR: BE RPG. Turn-based combat. Give me ideas.

Initial ideas: You're a BE-God who has been locked up in the Void by your overjealous Pettanko-God sister, who envies your boobage abilities. After centuries of confinement, the world has turned into an over-religous place, where everyone is forced to adore the Pettanko God. In an act of undercover rebellion to the current regime, a feisty "cleric"* - Cedylla - performs a ritual that links both of you together, thus allowing you to use her as a medium for your owers.

You're still very (very) weak due to the lock Pettanko-God has placed on you, however, with the help of Cedylla, you can slowly break out of your jail (and grant her more power) by collecting certain mytical items throughout the world - while Pettanko-God tries to stop you as much as she can.


*Clerics would be the equivalent to a mage/soldier hybrid kind of profession in this world.

(The gods won't have too much direct-world influence to keep them from being too overpowered in the story. They need to act through people and beliefs.)

Cedylla is a young lady who is well-versed in both magic and combat. She lives her life hating the Pettanko Theocracy. She can't do anything about it until she finds by Deus ex Machina a book that tells about a "prohibited and secret" BE-God. With it, she performs a ritual in an attempt to contact this God, etc.

Initially, I had in mind something akin to the Sonny Flash game. There is a lot of focus on cutscenes/dialogue (I'll use the Ren'Py VN code for this) and battling (I'll code the math in Python, then skin it with Ren'Py "Screens").

Breasts grow with level (because you infuse her with more unlocked power as you collect these "Mytical Items" and the "manifestation" of your power is boob mass.) , and during "Limit Break"-style buffs. Two main skill "paths": Magic and Combat. Magic has two "subpaths": White (Milk themed, healing, buffs, etc) and Black (???-themed, sacrifice, direct damage, etc) magic. Combat has two subpaths: Strength (Heavy armor builds/Warrior builds) and Style (Flashy Ninjas and Speedy Builds)

Up to two "active" party members, up to three enemies on-screen (Max 3 v 3 like in Sonny).

Equipment isn't bought from stores - Its "summoned" out-of-battle. A summoning screen will replace stores. Summoning costs some kind of magical currency. Summon equipment is all "magical" (and part of your "lost" cache of divine equipment) to explain thier non-battleworthy appearance. Summoned equipment examples: "Legendary Maid-Outfit", "Bunnysuit of Speed" or "Bikini of Supreme Defense".

Graphics is a challenge. Renpy doesn't have outlining or stuff like that that Flash has, so BE'ing a boob graphic would have to be a "Zoom" of the boob pic. Makes me want to use cel-shading style graphics.
