Poll
Question: How should I start off the game? It will start with name and gender choosing, though.
Option 1: Cutscene showing main antagonist
Option 2: Just start out in main city
Option 3: Both above
Option 4: Cutscene then starting out in a village
Option 5: dwarra

Yeah, I didn't know where to put this exactly so I decided to post it here (better safe than sorry :P). Anyways, I got this idea from: http://wiki.rmrk.net/index.php/Mangadude5760#Projects.2FAchievements

The game was supposed to have like an evil dude and such but it contained people from RMRK in it. Pretty cool, huh? Anyways, that guy failed pretty badly because he made the game in one day. >_> My plan is to kind of set up a plot and work on it (as an actual project). I'd just like to see if you'd play it. :P

HELL YEAH!!! Only if I'm in it...

Although, someone already tried to do this, and this thread belongs somewhere in the RPG Maker section.

This isn't spam, it sounds like an awesome idea. I'll move it to a better location =)

Oh make me on the evil side =D

I know, I linked to Mangadude's wiki. What I'm going to do that is different is that I am going to take time on it. An actual project.

That's something the moderators will just choose for us. :P

Yeah, great idea, but the first time it was used, it was badly done.

Sounds like a great idea moo, if you need any help let me know, although other then intimidating people for you I'm not too sure what I can do..

Thanks, DS, I really appreciate it. :D The polls will be closed.... tomorrow. XD I want time to actually start it. :P Hell, I'm going to make it, despite what other people think. Only reason is that people so far are going to enjoy it. XD The only "I don't care" vote is by me so I can always see the votes. :P

Hm... Not a bad idea! It'll be fun to play. Though, by the people in RMRK, do you mean EVERY ONE? RMRK has like, lets see...3573 people.  I guess not, but it would still be fun to play. I say MAKE IT!
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: Revo on May 16, 2007, 02:33:09 AM
This would be awesome! Even if I wasn't in it, I would still play it. I could only imagine the kind of stuff that would go in this... :P

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER FF CRANKEYE?
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: modern algebra on May 16, 2007, 02:51:05 AM
I think I might recall something about it. Is that still active?

I think it's a cool idea moo.
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: Kokowam on May 16, 2007, 07:11:17 PM
What's FF Crankeye? Also, only certain members will be pre-set into the game. Technically, everyone is in the game because you choose your gender and your name. :P

So you accept penguins? I didn't really get it. Are you accepting volunteers for the game?

Post by: Kokowam on May 16, 2007, 07:18:33 PM
You're not a penguin, you're a real person behind the mask of a penguin. Volunteers? No. I've already decided some people to put in (might think of more later).

Great idea.
If you put me in (you don't have to), make my catch-phrase "I has a karot".
Because I do has a karot.
Good luck with this!
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: Kokowam on May 16, 2007, 08:15:16 PM
Lol, I'll make you a hidden character (kind of) where in my palace/kingdom (Yes, there will be a Kingdom of the Cows >:]) you will be my pet hamster and that is all you will say. NO MORE REQUESTS FROM PEOPLE.

Bah! I'm going to have to use a lot of default stuff like the armor and the weapons and the items.

He's going to be a pet hamster and some stuff will happen. I just had an idea today. Also, I'll update this in the projects forum when I start making maps (working on setting up monsters and stuff right now).

Could be a good idea if done well, would be funny to see if you incorperate the way people on here act, just to know you can use me if you want. Can even kill me in a fire for all i care :D
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: kid27 on May 18, 2007, 07:02:58 AM
Well, sorry but I was not saying he had to.
Just cause I've been here 2 days don't mean I shouldn't be in it.
Anyway, he chose to include me.
Take me out, for all I care.
I just like being in games and getting famous! helping out! xD

Gah! I can't wait for this.... This gave me an idea for another RPG I can make. Nothing to do with the forums though ;D
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: kid27 on May 19, 2007, 01:07:06 PM
Hehe.
I can't wait for this.
It's gonna be great.
This reminds me, I am the Lead Programmer of a community game over at IGP (the Indie Gaming Portal (indiegamingportal.net)).
I can't and won't start it, though, until I get enough resources and storyline and stuff.
:D

New poll.

This actually depends on the storyline...
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: Kokowam on May 21, 2007, 08:44:56 PM
This game is 99% going to be an open-ended game so you just have the couple of main quest-line and the Sidequests. Once you do the quest-line, the last one is killing the final boss (Who I have not yet come up with yet. Maybe Naphe?) The polls are currently tied so I will wait a day (or the end of this day) to see what gets chosen.

Post by: Star_wolf on May 21, 2007, 08:49:41 PM
Well I say cut scene then start off with the game. That is how most start you know. But try mixing it up a bit.....like controlling one of the antagonists at the start or something.
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: Kokowam on May 21, 2007, 08:58:40 PM
That seems like a good idea... Here's how I'm laying things (including my problem):

-Choose gender
-Choose name
-Cutscene with antagonist
-(maybe) Control antagonist for a while
-(PROBLEM) Start out in main city or in village?
     -if main city:
          I can just make the guy start and make him be in the process of being taught by mentor or something
     -if village:
          I will have to do some cliche "OMG YOU KILLED MY MOMMY" or something that will set story in motion. Most definitely a cliche.
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: Esmeralda on May 21, 2007, 09:00:22 PM
The city sounds better than the village.  ;9 The village thing has been done one time too much.
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: Kokowam on May 21, 2007, 09:08:40 PM
All righty, then. I'll get started on finishing up all types of initialization and trying to make an enormous city...
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: Farflong on May 22, 2007, 07:18:53 PM
this type of game is what makin ure own rpg is all about!

boogie on ;D
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: dollmage on May 28, 2007, 10:49:13 AM
=) start out in a huge huge city (huge city is huge  :D) then around that city you will meet the other ppol =) kinda like the trigger effect in legend of mana?
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: Kokowam on May 29, 2007, 08:42:28 PM
Yeah, I'm going to just do an idea where you start out with a cutscene and you start as the bad dude (maybe). Then, you start in the city. By the way, this is a side-project so it's just when I'm bored.
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: Halestorm5 on May 29, 2007, 08:47:09 PM
Hey there should be a cheat code so people can use their own sprites in the game!
People can donate spritesets into the game by PMing you, then they persuade you to add it. If you do, then you give them a cheat code. Then when the game is in, and the player types the cheat code in then their spriteset turns into the one they donated! (Its just a idea)

I voted for 'Cutscene showing main antagonist'/'Just start out in main city' or Both Above.
Title: Re: A poll!
Post by: Kokowam on May 31, 2007, 07:31:02 PM
I'll start request/accepting ideas after I actually finish mine, first. I haven't worked on this for a while and I'm most likely not getting help for it. XD Don't wait up for me to finish >_>
