THE CONCEPT

Does anyone remember the old Dragon Warrior III, the first Final Fantasy and Legend games? Games where you started by selecting your character classes. Your character had no personality, you just made them and set out to do good in the game.

I have always loved this idea. Especially in Final Fantasy Legends when you eat enemy meat your monster characters would transform into different monsters.

So I was thinking of using that basis to create a world with plots of land. Everyone that wants to can create a little land area, little towns, caves, and whatever else using the VX default graphics.

The lands get copied and pasted into the world. The towns, maps, areas, monsters, weapons and items get pasted in as well. There doesn't have to be any specific player characters. There doesn't have to be a beginning a middle and an end. Just your own little place.

You wouldn't have to come up with your own scripts. They would always be active in the game itself. So if you wanted to participate, you would only make maps and quests.

Then to get from land to land you can either teleport, use a boat, ship or use an airship. If the difficulty is too much for the player, the player can just go back to where they were before until they are strong enough to take on that particular plot of land.

Even if 5 people contribute a small town or a cave, it would have the makings of a great free form / open ended community game.

What does everyone think?

FEATURES

Spoiler for:

These are the features that appear so far in the current game version.
(currently writing the features)

METHODS OF PERSUASION

There is now a persuasion option to replace dueling. With persuasion, you can either bribe, admire, taunt or intimidate NPCs to get them to do what you want. Bribes are the easiest, but taunting improves their disposition toward you. Taunting them manipulates their personality so you can get what you want and finally intimidation is how you can either duel or anger them.

NPC PERSONALITIES

NPCs now have personality stats based on things like how loving, happy, athletic, powerful, rich, fearful, aggressive and other things like that. 16 stats now make up their personality and you can play with that. You can manipulate them through taunting, admiring, bribing and threatening them.

The tactics cannot go on forever though, because if their disposition drops to a certain point they stop talking to you and disappear. Guards will stop talking to you and throw you in prison or challenge you to a duel. Sort of like if you taunt an officer long enough you are going to jail.

HOW BOUT DAT WEATHER WE'RE HAVING?

Yes like every other game there is a weather. However, this system is complex. Each region gets its own weather patters and chances for rain, storms and snow. This allows for random weather based on the weather pattern. If there is a 10% chance of rain happening in the region. It is just that. The weather will act accordingly.

TIME KEEPS TICKING

The game keeps track of how long you have played as well as the game time. The game days will be counted.

DAY TURNS INTO NIGHT

There are six periods of a full 24 hour day with sunlight that acts accordingly. Because of the day shifting to night, that allows for pubs to open at night. It allows for people to be about their day and asleep at night. Church in the morning that ends at noon and creetures could out in the late night...
 - dawn
 - morning
 - noon
 - evening
 - night
 - late night

O'CLOCK

When you want to know how long you have played, just look at a wall clock. Unless of course you have a pocket watch to check. It will tell you how many days, hours, minutes and seconds you've been playing. There will also be an indication of how many game days you have played.

TRAVELERS ASK WHERE TO SLEEP

When you are on the go and need to replenish HP and MP, stop by the nearest Inn. You don't just pay your gold and get replenished. You get a room for the entire night. Better hope there is a room at the Inn for you.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BEDROOM... WHERE TO SAVE?

Due to the changing landscape of the game from being a community project. Saving will be limited to beds and save points. These beds and save points cannot be altered or moved, because if they do it will corrupt someone's save point.

You cannot sleep in each and every bed, so check the Inn for a night's stay.

WHAT'S BEHIND DOOR #1?

There are slip through doors that contain NPCs and let the player through.

DAMN ITS LOCKED!

Because it would be pointless to have doors and not lock them, there are locks on some doors. Locks that either need keys or need to be picked. There will be more on this later.

WE'RE HAVING A PARTY AND YOU'RE INVITED

When you start the game, you start alone. You must recruit your party at the local Pub or Guild. Speak with a Guild Guide to have members add your party or to leave the members behind.

WHEN THE PARTY'S OVER

Your party members die in RPGs it is an unavoidable fact. You either need an item or skill to revive them. In this case you have another option. Drop by a priest or someone that can revive your dead party members... for a price.

GREETINGS, TALK, RUMORS, AND INFO

Each NPC has a lot to say. They start with a greeting that is based on their reaction to you, their name, their class, the weather, their faction or their race. Talk is the standard for RPGs, but beyond that there is rumors. Random things that people have heard. Finally there is info if you want to learn more about the person, their class, race or faction.

I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL... TO THE DEATH...

Challenge a NPC to a duel to the death. Test your might against anyone that will accept your challenge. However, depending on who challenged who there could be a bounty on your head for murder. If you challenge the guards, that is a crime as well, even if you run from the scrap. If you are a member of the faction of the NPC that you challenge, the faction may kick you out.

WAKING THE DEAD

So you've killed an NPC. Big deal. What happens if you needed that NPC for a quest? You revive the bones of the NPC! Even if you find bones...

IT IS GOOD TO BE SO WANTED

When you have killed an NPC or challenged the wrong NPC to a duel, you will have a bounty on your head. The guards will chase after you! When they catch you one of 3 things can happen.
 1. Pay the bounty with gold.
 2. Go to prison
 3. Die for your crimes!

DO THE CRIME DO THE TIME

As stated before, if you are caught by the guards you can go to prison. Each castle has a prison / dungeon. Each kingdom has guards and soldiers, you will go to that kingdom's prison or dungeon. That does not mean you serve hard labor, that just means you easily go to sleep and wake up however many game days later. Quickly serving your time.

I'M BANKING ON IT

There is a banking system that will give you a percentage for each day that your gold is in the bank. You can only deposit gold in sums of at least 1000.

THIS TIME... ITS PERSONAL

There are personalities in the game that will affect your stats when you level up! Jocks will have more HP than intellectuals. Devouts will have more spirit than those with seductive personalities.

 - Jock (high HP)
 - Intellectual (high MP)
 - Psychotic (high Attack)
 - Pessimist (high Defense)
 - Devout (high Spirit)
 - Seductive (high Agility)

HOW DO I LOOK?

Like old school games you can customize the look, name and class of each character. In fact you can even chose to make your character a creature.

NOW THAT IS SOME HEAVY STUFF!

Treasure chests, stones, everything that is pushable has a weight to it. So it is not just push rocks, it is push chests, boxes and other fun things. However, you need to be strong enough to push them. Maybe an item would help or a character class would help you push them?

PETER PIPER PICKED A PECK OF PUZZLING PUZZLES

There are more than just stereotypical push block puzzles. There are level and switch levels. Combinations, riddles and even puzzles that can only be unlocked based on the time of day!

MULTIPLICITY DIVERSITY

Because there are so many people contributing, there is a wide variety of puzzles, quests, tactics and even map ingenuity. Such as one person came up with the floating magical bridge, another came up with a complex puzzle, while still one came up with a quest to give tribute only to have given a foe that very weapon.

NOW THATS HOOOT!

There are damaging things to the player's party on the map such as fire in burning houses, energy fields from evil forces and toxic marshes. All of them have their own damaging effects, either in a specific amount of HP lost or a percentage of HP lost.


RULES OF SUBMISSION

Spoiler for:

 - Must be in RPG Maker VX
 - You must submit your unencrypted files. If you do not, I cannot copy and paste them into the world.
 - No custom graphics. You can only use the default graphics that come in the RTP. This is a consistantly downloaded game, so it is best to be gentle on the people that have 56 Kbps modems.
 - Do not use switch D for NPCs.


SCREENSHOTS

Spoiler for:


There is plenty to do in the Crandle Cave, defeat Orcs, find flint, solve puzzles, revive dead miners, find the imp.

I just would like people to create their own maps or even stories. It doesn't have to be some big elaborate thing. You can make side characters that to take them on, you need to get rid of someone in your party.

I'm currently making the bank system. I have the weather, time, day / night systems down.

To keep track of who made what, you can put signs in the start of places that say "Made by...."

That is the beauty of this...

Irock you have your own land, Raski has Raski's own land.

Its not like you do this part, Raski does that part.

There is no finish, it is an ongoing thing.

Lets say... Version 1: 2 people contribute so there's 2 towns, 2 caves, 2 lands.

Version 3: 3 people contribute, now there's 2 towns, 5 caves, 2 lands

Version 8: 15 people contribute, now there's 5 towns, 5 caves, 2 towers, 5 lands, 2 castles

Version 20: 20 people contribute, now there's 7 towns, 5 caves, 2 towers, 8 haunted graveyards, 10 lands, 4 castles, 2 sailing pirate ships.

The game will just go. You load up the new version and transfer your saves. The saves should be able to work from version to version :-)

Will the sign be in every map we made, or the beginning of every area we made?

Whichever. It should at least be in the beginning. You can hide the sign cleverly though, or have a greeter tell it. Something that is at least noticable.

Uploaded the alpha version. There's not much to do. 1 tiny land area, 1 town / castle, guild house to get members, inn, bank (not that it matters). Two people give you gold, there are a few enemies.

You can kill NPCs in duels... then bring them back to life with vials! Kill a guard and the other guards will be after you though. There are slip through doors, there are locked doors. Time of day has an impact. There is weather.

The town / maps are pretty basic. This is just to show everyone the system that the game will use.

UPLOADED VERSION 2

New cave. Bigger town, more NPCs, push block puzzle, pushable objects, need strength to push objects. What could be considered a quest. It involves a lot of what I just said and one element from the original demo.

I have a good question for those of you to prove you've done the quest. What is the price of the object being sold in the cave and what does it take for the merchant to appear?

Count me in Maia! This sounds pretty cool. So one more thing. Do we make our own quests in our land? I got a nifty idea.

**Just played the demo. Very nice,simple, concept. VX just plays great overall.

You make your own quests in your own land. Although quests that cross over lands would be interesting. Like quests that say go to this town, hop in a boat, sail to another land and visit a cave. I will wait until the world gets filled out more before those.

It does not have to be an elaborate quest with dialog, storyline or anything fancy. Especially considering that the 4 characters you will have are ones you make yourself ala Dragon Warrior and the first Final Fantasies.

That was a pretty interesting alpha demo. =o

It gets the concept across.

What made it interesting? Just that it got the concept across?

I am currently in the process of making my world. The quests I'm making have no specific character text. There is a story type thing, but doesn't character develop or anything like that. Its just a simple story explaining what you will need to do.

My World (So far): Larkan:The underground empire.

It takes place completely in a spooky underground area where years earlier, the Larkan Empire had a secret base. The empire no longer exists after a war, and now, civilians who cannot afford to stay in New Aliahan have made there homes down there.

The Main Quest: There have been rumors for years about a secret treasure the Larkan empire had been hiding. Is this treasure a myth... or does it truly exist?

**Can you lower the encounter rate? I'm playing right now and the cave is making me battle every 3 steps.

**Oh man, this is too annoying. Sorry but I'm not going to try and find that merchant the farmer mentioned... I went into a road block and now I gotta walk back and theres to much battles. Please lower :)

Well there will be Fairy Water / Enemy repellant. If you think that's bad play Dragon Warrior 4. Enemies every 2 steps!

I hope that people contribute as well, because then it will become more of a world with different styles. Like Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America each have different styles. Well if one person makes a game it will have a similar style even if the cultures are different.

I am currently in the process of making my world. The quests I'm making have no specific character text. There is a story type thing, but doesn't character develop or anything like that. Its just a simple story explaining what you will need to do.

My World (So far): Larkan:The underground empire.

It takes place completely in a spooky underground area where years earlier, the Larkan Empire had a secret base. The empire no longer exists after a war, and now, civilians who cannot afford to stay in New Aliahan have made there homes down there.

The Main Quest: There have been rumors for years about a secret treasure the Larkan empire had been hiding. Is this treasure a myth... or does it truly exist?

**Can you lower the encounter rate? I'm playing right now and the cave is making me battle every 3 steps.

**Oh man, this is too annoying. Sorry but I'm not going to try and find that merchant the farmer mentioned... I went into a road block and now I gotta walk back and theres to much battles. Please lower :)

The encounter rate is 10 steps in the overworld and the cave. I do have specific cave monsters for the cave, but they're tougher and there are no weapons so far in the game. :-) People would be dead left and right. I'll change it to 20 or something. You can always run.

As for your story, it is great! :-) It will make a great first step / first real quest. Right now there are things to do... but I wouldn't call them quests.
