The Land Of All 4 Seasons *working title
The Story Line:
My first game will be about collecting and exploring, The aim of the game is to complete the quests, The quests will consist of collecting fruit, vegetables and berries which the town people need for their shops, family and needs. You *the character* are an expert at finding rare things which is why everybody wants YOU!
What makes this game special?
Well it is called "The Land Of All 4 Seasons" for a reason. There are 5 different lands *map below*. There is a normal land, a Summer Land, a Winter Land, a Spring Land and an Autumn Land. Each land has something special to it, from Frost Berries to Super Sweet Summer Strawberries. Also if you get bored of Summer just pop next door into Spring or maybe Autumn. Its completely up to you and each season has new people to meet and new quests to do!
THE MOST BASIC OF ALL MAPS EVER: *made this in paint and it is only a first sketch + i know it is low quality*

I would love to hear; ideas, support, constructive Criticism, help.
I am not a fan of people who say "it'll never work" before I even get the chance to start, however constructive criticism I am a fan of so please post your thoughts.

Sounds like a different idea, wich is good, because it's pretty normal that everyone makes a standard RPG game as their first game.
I like the concept. Can't wait for more screenshtos.

thank you, I didn't want a "standard rpg game" because that would involve a tedious battle system which for a beginner would probably be too much. I jsut want it to be simple and fun and most of all FLEXIBLE. I will be writing a item list soon, just running through plans etc.. and getting feed back from friends to see if they have any ideas...
That map-outline reminds me of Runescape a few years back. ;D
lol, im never played runescape but ive seen the maps and i agree ;)
I Am thinking about a reward system... but I can't think of any rewards.... can anyone suggest any ideas about rewards for completeing quests?
:-\ Maybe... you could get money as a reward... and you save up for different 'addons' like... say... a minimap, or normal map that goes in your inventory and you can view it from there... loads of random crap like that :D Not sure if it'll be possible to buy a minimap but it's worth a try
And you complete the game when you buy the most expensive item in the game :-\
Anyways I like the idea... it looks promising :D Good luck with it :D
I like the map idea!
I have afew other ideas, like;
Is it possible to have like a basic magic system, IE teleporting
and is it possible to have a reward like "Running Shoes" which make the player run faster?
Any more ideas would be great... ;D
Well...thee are dash scripts o.O
You could make separate items that teach different skills as common events*... then those skills work with common events to teleport you to different locations**
*
Change Skills: [Name Of Main Character], + [Name of Skill]
**
Teleport: [Name of map], (x, y)
This sounds good. I'm looking forward to it.
added more INFO regarding items
I just want to ask a couple of questions which i think more experienced rmxp users would know...
For a first game is this simple enough? I ain't putting any battle systems into it... I just want to hear you opinion...
Does this game appear fun from what you have seen now?
ALso most important..
How many fruits pictures does the RTP have? could you please make a list of what fruits are available on the RTP? cheers :-*
1) Seems simple enough yeah :) you'll probably need a few scripts for it but so does every good game :P
2) Yeah! Can't wait 'til you get a demo out :P
3) The RTP package only comes with an apple :D I think the icon shop might have some more but if not then you could always request them :P
it seems pretty fun to me. maybe you could make like missions for ppl ie: get x amount of apples in x amount of time and ill give you a reward.
just an idea
This sounds like it'll be a good game. I look forward to a demo.
i agree with riku, cant wait for a demo
