πŸ›‘οΈ Overview 

Designed for games built around unique items and classic inventory management (Ys III, Secret of Mana, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past), this shop system offers an experience that is intuitive, visually clear, and true to '90s action-RPGs, while remaining flexible for developers.

"In this system, unique items (weapons/equipment) cannot be sold or stacked, following the classic philosophy of retro action-RPGs;

βœ… Clean progression β€“ Every item is a step forward, not a recyclable resource. 

 βœ… Balanced economy β€“ Prevents unnecessary farming and keeps the challenge intact. 

 βœ… Fast-paced gameplay β€“ Less micromanagement, more action.

Consumables (like healing herbs, etc.) can be bought in limited quantities, but equipment remains a permanent acquisition. Just like in the great classics!"*

Bring your Action RPG shopping experience to life with this Professional Shop System, carefully crafted to deliver balanced, accessible, and exciting progression. Perfect for action-based games where every item matters and every upgrade feels like a true achievement.

 Interaction & Visualization

βœ… List-Based Navigation (D-Pad Controls)

  • Items are selected using ↑/↓ (like in Illusion of Gaia or Final Fantasy Adventure).

  • No drag & drop (avoids complex interfaces).

βœ… Feedback When Trying to Buy Unavailable Items:

  1. Denied sound effect (classic SFX, like in Zelda).

  2. Reduced opacity for already purchased/locked items.

  3. Description text when selecting it: "You already own this item!" (or similar).

βœ… Real-Time Preview

  • Preview window for selected item (icon + stats).

  • "OWN: X" counter below, showing how many the player currently has
    (e.g., "OWN: 1" for unique weapons, "OWN: 3/10" for consumables).

πŸ“œ Purchase Mechanics

πŸ”Ή Unique Weapons/Armor:

  • Cannot be purchased again (fixed progression system, like Terranigma).

  • If already owned, all three feedback types are shown (sound, opacity, text).

πŸ”Ή Consumables (Potions, Antidotes):

  • Stackable up to an editable limit (default: 10).

  • If inventory is full: "You can't carry any more!" (like in Secret of Mana).

πŸ›’ Tier-Based Pricing System

  • Each item has a scalable price based on its tier (e.g., Tier 1 = 100 gold, Tier 2 = 250 gold).

  • Easy to configure: Devs assign the power level, and the system adjusts cost automatically.

🎨 Scene Placement (For Devs)

  • Grid-Based Layout (no manual dragging):

    • Items are placed on a predefined grid (adjustable X/Y spacing).

    • Less manual work, perfectly aligned layout.

    • βœ” Automatic organization — no need to manually place each item.
      βœ” Adaptable — adjust spacing with variables.
      βœ” Scalable — works for 10 or 100 items with no code changes.

βš™οΈ Developer Customization

  • Editable stack limits (e.g., change "10 potions" to "5" for hardcore mode).

  • Customizable feedbacks: Sounds, opacity, and text are all replaceable.

  • Tier-based price template: Just define the base values and you're done.

🎯 Why Use This System?

βœ” Authentic – True to the golden era of action-RPGs (Ys III, Wonder Boy in Monster World).
βœ” Optimized – Fast navigation with directional controls, no bloated UI.
βœ” Flexible – Perfect for retro games or hybrids.
