GT RPG

[Crono]

I once had this idea of creating a game, based off of GT, with RPG Maker 2000. I actually did start it once... but I quit shortly after. Now with the almighty Rpg Maker 2003, I once again have incentive to make an RPG about GT.

The problem is, I don't have anything to work with which will end up in a lack of enthusiasm. So basically... I'd like people to post their ideas, even post what type of person you'd like to be in the game. Mainly right now I'm looking for story ideas.

How will everything work? Well, basically, GT will be like a country in a fantasy world. The Sony people will be stuck in one area, the Xbox people in another, and the Nintendo people in another area, and, with a converging central town that does not have nay type of bias. It will be something along the lines of that, you get the point. Basically, being the main character, you will be able to recruit GT people at will and use them in your party for various purposes. No GT person will actually be the main character, you, as the player, will have to name him and you can choose whatever you want.

I have some good geography ideas, but I need ideas for a story. Anything at all would help. Please take note that this could take several months to complete, and in the mean time I will post screens and give out demos as I go along.

I would say the release date would be late November/Early December. The first demo should be avilable by the end of September, providing that you people give me ideas.

I'm trying to make something that GT members will enjoy, something good that will have many inside jokes and twists that only GT members would enjoy.

Once I get enough ideas, I will make another post with an overview of what I have so far, and I will try to work with that. Please only post serious ideas.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that RM2k3 is a PC game.. and when I create the game disks, they will be available to everyone.

[Ginkasa]

So are you planning on have the "console countries" fight each other? Or are you going to have a seperate enemy?

Anyway, of course you have to have a tavern in there named "Game Tavern" that is central to the story.

I don't know if you're planning to or not, but try not to take the game seriously. What I mean is, don't try to make some dramatic Final Fantasy type story with those occasional "inside jokes and twists" for members. It should be a comedy type game with jokes attacks and stuff. Nothing too serious.

You should probably check with the members a lot and tell them the type of scenes they're going to be in. If they approve. And make sure that they want to be in the game. You don't want to offend anyone.

Also, I have a request. If you make me a character in the game, I ask that you either have my character

a) have a *shrugs and walks away* attack
b) *shrugs and walks away* everytime he stops talking (in dialogue or if you can get the sprite to actually shrug and walk away do that)
c) both


*shrugs and walks away*

[Hero2]

well two ideals come to mind
one the gt'er that cant decide whitch side to go on
two the gt'er that has been forced to love one system but regreably loves a nother just as much
dont forget about the reaccuring duffman he can be the villian and of course the mods as the all powerfull leauge of heros out to fight duffman and his leauge of of the banned roaming the world leaving a trail of caos thru the world of nintendo and ruling in the land of sony and the powerfull army of microsoft with all its money builds defences and waits for nintendo to fall... or somting like that

[Crono]

Ginkasa, my plan isn't to make a dramatic game like FF. That would take a bit too much work. It's supposed to be a fun game with a story that most Gters should enjoy... nothing serious. And... the "console" areas won't be their own countries... mainly just their own administrative divisions, but the GT... uh... Empire I guess (with Neo as Emperor...) would be the head of the entire area. That was my original plan anyway... if you have other ideas please let me know.

Of course I don't want to offend anyone here... that is why I will later ask for everyone who wants to be in the game post what type of character they'd like to be... And about the shurgs and walks away thing... I will have to learn how to make custom techniques. I will try to, I am already working on a Custom Battle System. It will be a duel system. Basically it's like a rock/paper/scissors format... But instead it would be "Attack", "Defend", and "Desperate Attack". I will give more details later.

Heh, and Hero2... I'm looking for something different than what you said.... heh.

[Dylflon]

I was going to write a fanfic but I'd gladly put that on hold to write a story for you.

[Hero2]

Heh, and Hero2... I'm looking for something different than what you said.... heh.
just helping =-D

[jeepnut]

If you want me in the game, I can be a transportation expert. Also, I could recharge health by drinking Pepsi.

I will think of a story.

[GameMaster]

Do we have to assign ourselves to a console or we can we just roam freely among the entire land.

[Dylflon]

Pick a console unless your COMPLETELY unbiased.

It would be good to choose a console though.

I will be writing the story. I already have some ideas.

(and there will be inside jokes aplenty.)

Here is the main one I'm leaning towards:

There are two continents. The console continent is comprised of 4 nations. The Nintendo Alliance, The Republic of Playstation and The Xbox Federation and Gametavern. There is also one secret nation that will be revealed to you only when you play the game.

Gametavern is a merchant town. It is filled with many shady characters. It is where all the decisions that concern the Console continent are made. The people there are pretty much unbiased when it comes to video game systems.

Nintendo, Playstation and Xbox dislike eachother and are constantly at war with one-another.

The other continent is the PC continent. They are a united continent with one goal in mind: to take over the console continent.

They deploy their new Phantom army to try to overtake the console continent.

You as the main character must unite the 3 consoles to fight off this new threat.

Hijinks ensue.

Jeepnut, you can be a ship captain pirate guy.

[jeepnut]

Jeepnut, you can be a ship captain pirate guy.

Thanks.

I had an idea for the game and now I can't remember it. Nuts!

[GameMaster]

Can I lead an Underground Mac Society that is fighting against the PC Continent, but is not in alliance with the consoles. Kind of an independent, rogue type of group. :D

[jeepnut]

And the cause of the war will be because people kept secretly stealing reputation points...

or not.

[Dylflon]

Can I lead an Underground Mac Society that is fighting against the PC Continent, but is not in alliance with the consoles. Kind of an independent, rogue type of group. :D

Sure.

[Rndm_Perfection]

I'll be one of the many refugees from a distant continent called "GCC" that happens to travel to the console continent after the GCC fell to civil war, heh.

I'll be the "wanderer" of the game, wooh. I'd travel between continents, be difficult to recruit, and my motives will often be difficult to see.


As for the actual RPG, I'll post what ideas come to me, and I'll also help you create it, of course. ¦¬Þ

[Dylflon]

I'll be one of the many refugees from a distant continent called "GCC" that happens to travel to the console continent, heh.

Uh...I'd like not to expand peoples or territory any farther.

But maybe you could pick a console or PC or be neutral or whatever.

Take your pick.

[ominub]

i just want to be the guy with a nuke
i love nukes they are so powerful and evil :devil:
i like nukes from Command & Conquer so ill have to pick PC

[Rndm_Perfection]

Uh...I'd like not to expand peoples or territory any farther.

But maybe you could pick a console or PC or be neutral or whatever.

Take your pick.


...

How bout no, heh.

[Hero2]

can i be an annioing useless monster...
but at least one that gives good exp or like the emerald wepon in ff7 that thing was fun to kill ;)

[Yoda9864]

I can be the wise old man that gives everyone advice :D. I am a bit biased toward Nintendo, but love PCs.

[BreakABone]

I would like to be a shady merchant who well doen't rip people off persay, just charges them a bit more than usual. =-D

[TheGame]

"Now with the almighty Rpg Maker 2003, I once again have incentive to make an RPG about GT."

This a PC game?

Anyway... I would like to be a key protaganist.... one with power, who is only respected by other people with power and hated by pretty much everybody else... a backstabbing asshole ;)

Nothing like myself, right? :sneaky:

Story ideas? Well, my favorite concept is when you have a job to do, and you think you know why you are doing it, and within the last few hours of the game you relize that you were either tricked into doing somthing bad, or at least doing somthing you would have never done had you had all the details from the start... or the main character relizes he/she isn't who she thought he/she was.

I dunno why, but stories like that strike my interest a lot...

I will write more detailed ideas and PM them to you within the next week...

[Dyne]

I remember how much fun I had with the old RPG makers years ago.. wish I had the time to sit down and help you with this, but I don't =\.

Hmm, I don't know what I'd be.

Would there be a colony of old-skoolers? That could be where all the old people live.

It would be cool if you could model the story after KOTOR, somewhat. Have ways you could lean to the Xbox side, the PS2 side, the GCN side, or neutral. That could pose for some interesting "hijinks". Like, different endings and different party member chances.

And oh yeah, let me to be the first to call being the MAGUS of the story!

[Rndm_Perfection]

I conclude that, with everyone giving input, the release date for this RPG (assuming it WILL be finished) is going to be pushed back to Q3 2008.

[Jonbo298]

I can be the resident Nintendo fanboy along with Jason1:p I don't have much for a background to my character, but it could involve an old rivalry I had - Joeiss.

[Crono]

I've seen a number of good ideas, keep them coming.

And Dylflon, I think Rndm meant that GCC wont be explorable, but will just be talked about, because there are several people here from that site.

At this rate I should have a good idea of what the story should be, then Dylflon and I will talk on MSN and see what we can do.

I'm thinking of doing a Suikoden-style recruit system. Which means, there is a headquarters, and as you recruit people they take up certain roles in the HQ. Example:
Jonbo is the Innkeeper at Nintendo Town. You want an Inn at your castle hq because it'll be easier, so you go to Nintendo Town and recruit Jonbo. He then creates an Inn within your headquarters for you to use at any time. Other recruitable positions could include Item Shop Keeper, Weapon/Armor Shop Keeper, and so on.

I'm also working on a custom battle system (CBS) which will allow for special duels between two characters. Basically it uses a rock/paper/scissors format. Instead, it's Attack/Defend/Desperate Attack. Defend beats Desp Attack, Attack beats Defend, Attack and Attack are equal, and Desp Attack beats Attack. There won't be any magic or anything, just two characters facing off in a one-on-one duel.

Also, the main character will be a new person to GT. He will be nameless as I said before. Basically the character arrives at GT, but finds out that not everything is whta he expected... or something like that.

EDIT: Also, when people talk, their face icon appears beside their text. Everyone will get to have their own icon (it has to be an actual character, not some logo or anything). But I will ask for that later, but I just thought I'd let you know now.

And one final thing... I can import character sprites, so if theres a certain character from another rpg you'd like to be then let me know. Also let me know what role you'd like to take in the Casle HQ... so far I can think of:
Innkeeper
Item Shop Owner
Weapon Shop Owner
Armor Shop Owner
Pub Owner
Gardener
Chef

Not everyone will have a specific role, mind you. Only a few people can do this. It's nothing special really, I just don't recommend you ask for a role if you have other plans for your character.

Basically, the castle is the HQ for the main character and his allies. Whatever the story will be, there will need to be some converging point for all the GT characters that have been recruited. The ones who dont have specific roles will just be residents of the HQ...

Also I just ahd this idea for a minigame. Dylflon mentioned to me yesterday that he wanted his character to be the host of Character Battles. Well, I figure that once you recruit him, an arena will be placed in the castle basement. The player can bet money on who he/she thinks will win. If the players prediction is right, they will gain money. If they are wrong, they will lose money. I'll make the matches random, and if I can I'll even get sprites for them.

So anyway... keep the ideas coming.

[Jonbo298]

Pub Owner! Drink the beer my pretties.....DRINK!. But if I don't get the Pub Owner, I can just be a regular person.

[Rndm_Perfection]

Well, I don't want to own a shop. Did Georg Prime own a shop? Noooo. He was too useful in combat to own something important, heheh.

[Crono]

Pub Owner! Drink the beer my pretties.....DRINK!. But if I don't get the Pub Owner, I can just be a regular person.

Well, first come, first served.... so you can be Pub Owner.

[Crono]

Okay... I think this will be the basis of the story...

One day, a new member to GT arrives at his newly found home in hopes to live a good life. The GT Empire is composed of four areas: Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, and a currently unnamed Unbiased region (any name ideas would help). Although they are considered one country, conflict between the multiple areas has always existed. The new member never really cared, he lived in the peaceful unbiased area. One day though, the evil Phantom Army, sent by the highly feared PC Empire, tries to take over GT. With the multipel areas in conflict it is hard for GT to act as one, so, as the character, you must unite the several areas and form a new Phantom Army resistance. The Castle HQ which I mentioned before will be the main headquarters for the Resistance.

I'd like for many Gters to be in the game, but, there are several positions that will need to be filled:
First of all, the Hero, will be the leader of the new Resistance.
I will be the Hero's second hand man, the War Strategist, meaning I will not participate in any battles but instead plan out the strategies that the Hero's Army so it can defeat the Phantom Army and other purposes.
Rndm_Perfection will be a major General in the Phantom Army, and will be one of the main enemies for most of the game.

So these are the positions I need filled:
Pub Owner (well, that's Jonbo).
Innkeeper
Weapon Shop Owner
Armor Shop Owner
Item Shop Owner
Chef (will be located in the Resistance's restaurant, will provide food that can heal your characters)
Gardener (will grow things like medicines for the army).

Also I need several Generals for the Resistance.

I'll also need people to play roles on the Phantom Army, like Generals and what not. You will need to be an evil character, and possibly killed in the game. (It's just for fun.)

Keep in mind I'm not trying to make this game too serious, it will be something fun.

Give me feedback on this possible story. Also, if there are other positions or roles in the game you think may be good then let me know.

[GameMaster]

Earlier in this thread, Dyflon gave me permission to be the leader of a rogue Mac underground society which is also fighting to defeat the Phantom Army because we are enemy of the PC Continent. Is this okay with you?

[Rndm_Perfection]

Hmm, what's Phantom got to do with PC anyway? They seem to be butting heads, in my eyes. Isn't Phantom trying to take away the need for PCs? That is... the gaming section of PCs. If anything, I bet the evil Macintosh clan would team with the Phantoms to overtake the PCs. Macs have everything but gaming, and Phantoms mastered gaming.

Just a thought.

[GameMaster]

Hey! That's a great idea, I like it! And I wanted an evil role anyways! Is that all right Crono? +rep to Random for the great idea. :)

[Crono]

Good ideas Rndm. And GM, you can be whatever you want. I will make you leader of the Mac People if you'd like.

[Happydude]

well...i have no ideas about a story or anything, but i would like to be someone important and preferably not die :p or if that doesnt work out then the Weapon Shop owner :)

[Rndm_Perfection]

So far, it looks like the story is plotted out thanks to the help of posts and other sources. People should now be thinking about what region they want to be from, and whether they want to be a recruitable fighter... a recruitable shop owner... a villain, or just a random character in a town that can say something funny.

[Dylflon]

If anything, I bet the evil Macintosh clan would team with the Phantoms to overtake the PCs. Macs have everything but gaming, and Phantoms mastered gaming.

Just a thought.

My idea was that the PC people were sending the Phantom to the console realm to get people to play PC games on a console thus spreading it's evil influence.

[GameMaster]

Well whether I work alongside the Phantom Army or against them, I want to be the leader of the Mac Underground Rogue Society (MURS).

[DeathsHand]

I want to be a babbling idiot... Perhaps appearing in a village... As long as this happens I will be happy...

[Ginkasa]

I really don't care if I'm a playable character or a regular villager or whatever. Doesn't matter.

Neither does the region. I have all the consoles so.. Whichever...


*shrugs and walks away* <---I do want that in there with me somehow

[Happydude]

and i still want to be someone important and almost imposible to kill :p




either that or the weapon shop owner :unsure:

[ominub]

just make sure that i have a nuke

[Crono]

just make sure that i have a nuke
No nukes, sorry. This game takes place in medieval times...

[ominub]

damn well then i just want a big sword like twice the size as me

[Rndm_Perfection]

damn well then i just want a big sword like twice the size as me


Oooh... oooh, I can make that. Or at least try... Only condition is, you'll be half as big as normal people ¦¬Þ

[Hero2]

No nukes, sorry. This game takes place in medieval times...
well the game is based on future happenings soo mabey he can invent a nuke or at least a big bomb or lots of little bombs.

[Crono]

I've already written the basics of the story, with the help of Rndm_Perfection and Dylflon, they both gave some very good ideas.

Basically, the roles, are as follows:

Hero - main character, leader of the "Resistance"
Crono - War Tactician for the "Resistance"
Rndm - A General
DarkMaster - Leader of another Empire
Bond - Mayor of the Xbox Region
BreakABone - Commanding General Of The GT Central Army (Lol, I had to give you this role, only Rndm and I would understand.. it works on so many levels)
TheGame - Mayor Of GT City (Works because you're a supermod)
Neo - Leader of GT for a while, what happens after that is a secret
Dyne - thats a secret also... but I'm sure you know most of it. But I found a use for your dead consoels thing... heheh.
gekko/CamFu - Generals serving under Neo
Spike Spiegal - Rndm requested that I made you a Tactician serving under him...
Cube (aka Segaman) - leader of another Empire with DarkMaster
Jonbo - owner of the Pub in the HQ
HappyDude - owner of the Weapons Shop in the HQ
Ginkasa - Optional Recruit, will fight for the Resistance
GameMaster - Leader of the MURS (which, luckily for you has a pretty significant role in the story)
GameKing - Mayor of the Nintendo Region
Stonecutter - Mayor of the Xbox Region after Bond is promoted (Rndm recommended that to me)
Tombor - A general for the Xbox forces, serves under Bond, then Stonecutter
Crash - another General serving under Neo
Jason1 - A general serving for the Nintendo forces, works for GameKing
Joeiss - A general serving for the Sony forces, works for Stu
BlueFire - Optional recruit. If you recruit him, you can use magic in Army battles, which is a good addition.
Dyflon - Joins the Resistance to help fight and builds a character battling arena in the castle.
DeathsHand - Optional character.
Stu - Mayor of Sony City
FissionMailed - Item Shop Owner
Vampyr (or Zalu Ragar) - Mercenary, meets the hero early in the game. Helps form the Resistance.
Ominub - Armor Shop Owner
"Hero2" - Innkeeper

Hmm. That's about it so far I think, keep in mind there are still HQ positions that need to be filled. Also note that a number of roles were put there by me... that's because I think it would go nicely with the storyline. And the ones I did force are important roles anyway... so be happy, heh. I will update later with the locations and where everyone starts.

[Perfect Stu]

I could be some big old washed up battle warrior legend or something, who the player goes to in need of some help. A hired goon of sorts :D But the player must give me some incentive to help them.

Like ObiWan in 'A New Hope'. I've left battling for a private life. And I'd be angrier than him. Sorta like Gimli. Stories have been passed around the country about my glorious battles, but nobody knows if they're true. The character seeks my help, in hopes that I can provide him with some hired muscle.

Thoughts?

Actually, I forgot to include you in the list... you would be the perfect person for mayor of Sony City... I would rather you be that person, as I already have story ideas for you.

[Dylflon]

FissionMailed wants to be the item shop guy. Originally from the Playstation region.

I say make it so. I don't think anyone else wantes to be it.

And put THRILLHO as leader of the Nintendo knights. At first powerful enemy, then...uh...he could be...actually...he's just a boss.

[Hero2]

how the hell did I make main character.
unless im just concided and theres another hero
or you named him hero because hes the main hero of the resistance. anyway sweet

[Dylflon]

I believe that the main character is not a member of GT. He's just "the hero".

Your grammar and spelling abilities are too poor for you to be a hero.

[DeathsHand]

Woo! Go me! I nabbed that coveted "Optional Character" role!

:yippie: :yippie: :yippie:

[Crono]

Hero2, you are not the main character. The Hero is the main character in the game, he is a new person who was just came to GT. The player can name him whatever they want.

[Hero2]

damn ooh well
can I be a boss or the end guy of the training feild thing u where talking about

[ominub]

i want to be somewhere on that list give me some part of this anything would be good

[Crono]

damn ooh well
can I be a boss or the end guy of the training feild thing u where talking about

the enemy positions have been taken. The best you can be now is an Innkeeper, just an optional recruit, or someone who can provide some sort of service to the castle.

[Vampyr]

Vampyr (or Zalu Ragar) - Mercenary, meets the hero early in the game. Helps form the Resistance.

Sweet. Mercenary is, in my opinion, the coolest position ever. Can you say "Gafgarion" (FFT reference)

[Perfect Stu]

Actually, I forgot to include you in the list... you would be the perfect person for mayor of Sony City... I would rather you be that person, as I already have story ideas for you.

Yeah, that's cool...I didn't see my name so I threw something out there. Carry on :guitar:

[Hero2]

the enemy positions have been taken. The best you can be now is an Innkeeper, just an optional recruit, or someone who can provide some sort of service to the castle.
Ill be an innkeeper. Can I atleast be confusing when i talk, my charactor that is, I love to confuse and disoreantate people.

[Crono]

Ill be an innkeeper. Can I atleast be confusing when i talk, my charactor that is, I love to confuse and disoreantate people.

Ok I made you innkeeper. I'll see what I can come up with about the confusing thing.

[Crono]

Ok...

So far, here's the full character list, divided into those playable, and those who are not. If you are not a playable character, don't panic, because there's a specific reason why you arent, most likely related to the story, but you are still an important part of the game.

Also this is not the final list. I'd liek to even it out at 20 playable and 20 non playable. I still need 4 playable characters, and 5 non playable characters. So that's 9 more... I already got Germany and Crono Link... which leaves 7 more people.

GameMaster, do you like this sprite?
http://www.rpgicons.com/images/icons/suik2/pcs/killey/front.gif I thought it may be good...

[GameMaster]

Crono, can I be a mage instead?

And can you elaborate a little more on the face/sprite deal? If we were to design on our own, are there guidelines or limitations we have to follow?

Sure.

Okay, basically... tell me what character from another game you'd like to be. Most of the sprites I'm using are from other rpgs. It'd be much better if the character you pick is from a 2D game, because the GT RPG will be 2D. You <i>could</i> create your own using iDraw, but, you can to get it the right size and and it's kind of difficult if you don't know what you're doing.

[Dylflon]

I want to model my character after Setzer from Final Fantasy 6. He's the coolest.

Here's my face image.

[Ginkasa]

I would like my character to be one of the 2D Links. Probably the LttP Link will be the best one.

And if I could be a "Knight" instead of a "Samurai" I would greatly appreciate it.


*shrugs and walks away*

There's no Knight class, it'll have to be soldier.

[The Germanator]

I'd be honored to be a character in this little rpg. Make me whatever, I'll be happy.

[DarkMaster]

DarkMaster Class: Ninja http://www.rpgicons.com/images/icons/suik2/pcs/mondo/front.gif
Word b*tch, ninja like a mofo.

[ominub]

http://www.rpgicons.com/images/icons/suik2/pcs/badeaux/front.gif

Those are a few. If you have a specific character from a specific game, then let me know.

[Hero2]

third one looks cool

[ominub]

hey can i see a list of the villians

[Crono]

hey can i see a list of the villians

That would spoil the story. Although I can tell you that the villains have already been posted.

[GameMaster]

Alright Crono, I'd like the Bub character sprite from Bust-A-Move please.

[Dylflon]

Alright Crono, I'd like the Bub character sprite from Bust-A-Move please.

Why don't you be an apple? A...mac...apple. :drevil:

[DeathsHand]

DeathsHand Class: Mage http://www.rpgicons.com/images/icons/suik1/pcs/crowley/front.gif

Like omg a purple cape? It's hot pink or nothing for me, baby! And what's with that beard? It's like... learn to shave or something *giggles*

...

ummm :unsure: And by that I mean umm looks swell... If I were to be a mage I guess... o.O

[TheGame]

I want to look like Seymour Guado from FFX ;)

jk...

If you would have given me more of a pimp job I would have wanted to, but the sprite you have now it coo.

[Dylflon]

Everyone is too picky.

[BreakABone]

BreakABone - Commanding General Of The GT Central Army (Lol, I had to give you this role, only Rndm and I would understand.. it works on so many levels)

I want to know what exactly this means... :distress:

[Jonbo298]

Jonbo http://www.rpgicons.com/images/icons/suik2/npcs/fitcher/front.gif


Is there anyone maybe a little fatter or more drunkenish looking? If not, I'm fine with what I've been given. no major complaints.

[Crono]

I want to know what exactly this means... :distress:

Heh, don't worry about it... it's nothing bad, just sort of funny. It's because you and your sprite (who is from another RPG) have so much in common... that's why it works.

And Jonbo, I'll see If I can find a fatter one for you.

And DeathsHand... heh... if you want to be something else, just tell me. But that character represents you... kind of...

Finally, GameMaster, could you find the sprite for me? I searched on google but all I could find was artwork.

[Crono]

Also, not all the faces and sprites will be posted right now. Once I have everyone down, I will post the master list tonight, including the roles, sprites, and faces.

[Rndm_Perfection]

Yo Crono, I'll edit up a faceset for myself and then I'll post it. I think bmp files work... though I could easily make it a png.

[GameMaster]

Crono, I have the Bust-A-Move rom, can I just copy of picture of him from a screenshot? Will that work?

[Crono]

Crono, I have the Bust-A-Move rom, can I just copy of picture of him from a screenshot? Will that work?

When people rip sprites from other games they use certain programs so it turns out correctly. To simply copy and pase probably won't work. Btw, I would suggest you use the sprite I had recommended to you at the end of my other post. That character looks like he'd be the head of an underground society, which is why I thought it may work.

[GameMaster]

Will this work? I can resize it if you want probably.

http://www.vgmuseum.com/rips/neogeo/bub.gif

Edit: Also, I can't see the sprite you chose for me, it's not showing up.

That sprite wont work. Message me on AIM (TenkanStar) and I'll show you the sprite.

[Yoda9864]

I still want to be in it. I can be in my own "Jedi Master" class. I would give you a sprite of Yoda, but I don't have one on me. I don't care if I'm playable or not, I would like to be in it.

At the bear minimum, can you have a Yoda sprite hop out of trees and chase after people? :D

[Dylflon]

Hey...could I be modeled after Genshu from Suikoden 2 instead?

:lol: You wouldn't believe how hard it is to have something sprite-sized "pop out" of a tree in RPG Maker. Err, but I'm basing this assumption off Rm2k, and not Rm2k3. Yet, as I see, they are similar.

[Dyne]

Wow.. kickass job so far guys.

"Dyne - thats a secret also... but I'm sure you know most of it. But I found a use for your dead consoels thing... heheh."

Yeah, do you want me to go edit my last post so people won't get spoiled? ;)

[Crono]

Okay... this is it, the "Master List" of appearances.

If you haven't replied to this thread yet, it will probably be too late for me to put you in. Actually, you have about 2 weeks, but after the headquarters is designed (each person has their own room and whatnot), I can no longer accept more people in the RPG. BTW, this game will be available to everyone, no need to download a special program or anything. It is a "game disk" which will be in a zip folder, approx 25 - 35 MB. Right now the approx. release date is December 2003.

Ok, this is the list:

Recruitable Characters

Mandatory (meaning that these characters will automatically be recruited some time during the game):
Hero
Vampyr
DarkMaster
Segaman
Gekko
CamFu
GameMaster
Jason1
Joeiss
BreakABone
Crono
Bond
GameKing
Stu
Spike Spiegal

Optional (meaning you have to find these characters and recruit them yourself):
Rndm_Perfection
Stonecutter
BlueFire
Ginkasa
DeathsHand
Dylflon
Crono_Link
Germanator
magus113
Jonbo
Ominub
Fission Mailed
Happydude
Hero2
Yoda9864

Non-Recruitable Characters:
Neo
Crash
Dyne
PureEvil


Aaand, heres the recruitable characters list, divided into who is playable (which means you can use them in regular battles), and non-playable (can't use them in regular battles, but can use them in the Army battles as Generals/Unit Captains).

Playable:
Hero
Rndm_Perfection

Hero2
jeepnut

I already have everyone's sprite and whatnot... plus I have all the games locations planned out and everything, as well as the basis of the story. It took me about 3 days to do all this planning, I will be starting the official production very soon (within a few days).

Finally, here is the type of features you can expect to see:
- Over 30 recruitable characters
- Assemble a headquarters for your army, watch your castle grow as more people are recruited.
- Three types of battles, including Regular Battles, Duels, and Large-Scale Army Battles.
- Experience a game that is a total rip off of the Suikoden series. (lmao, without the awesome story of course...)

Okay, so that's it for now. There's a few more things I need to do before I actually start, like collecting chipsets, ripping mp3s, collecting the rest of the faces, and all of the sprites. Keep in mind though, if you don't hear from me in a while, it's not because I quit.. it's just that the production is taking longer than expected. I can tell you, though, that the first demo should be ready near the end of september.

[Stonecutter]

Ripping MP3s........

assuming you're not worried about leagal stuff, can we give you music to put in the game? Like a theme song or something?

[Crono]

Yeah, you can. I think Rndm is doing all the converting to .wav (maybe ripping was the wrong word... heh), so send it to him when you get the chance. The program doesn't work on my computer for some odd reason.

[GameMaster]

So we can submit a song we like and have it put in the game?

[Crono]

I could do theme songs... it would be interesting. But I'm not going to collect any songs at the moment, I have too many other things I need to get done.

[Blix]

OK! So, can I be in the rpg too? :hmm:

PD: Thanks to Dyne for telling me.

[Dyne]

Hmm, now that I take a second look at my Vampire getup, I... don't know. I sort of would like to be like Yam Koo, of course story-permitting though, if his bright blue threads are too... you know.

http://www.rpgicons.com/images/icons/suik2/faces/yamkoo.gif

http://www.rpgicons.com/images/icons/suik2/npcs/yamkoo/right.gif

I also have theme music that might work.. but let's hook up in MSN, 'cause I'm interested in this a lot. I'll help you write my part, too. Nothing a straight-A student can't do, neh? :p

[Crono]

Ok, I am going to tell everyone this now. Production will be extremely slow for the next week or so. Tonight I'm leaving for the weekend and next week I won't be online much during the day, if at all. Then school starts on Sep 2. During the school week I should be able to get 1 hour of development in, and more on the weekend. It may take a little longer than expected, but will be completed. The first thing I have to do is make everyone's char set and battle sprite, which will be one of the longest and more challenging parts.

And Dyne, we need to talk about your role in the RPG. Honestly I don't think Yam Koo would suit it... I am leaving later tonight for the weekend so hopefully we can talk before then. If not we will have to talk on Sunday. I'll try to be on MSN for most of the day.

And Nemesis, pick a sprite (preferably from Suikoden 1/2 as they seem to be the easiest to rip) and tell me what kind of role you'd like and we'll see what we can work out.

Yeah, Dylflon. I saw heh. I won't forget, I have everything written down.

[Shark]

I suck my ****.

[Dylflon]

Hey will you put me in the story?

We would if we knew you or you had more than 1 post.

[GameMaster]

Might I suggest post cramming like crazy and submitting an autobiography to Dyflon and Crono.

[Hero2]

Oh no no no

The line to kill Hero2 is a hell of a lot longer than that.

Believe me.

[Ace195]

Oh no no no

The line to kill Hero2 is a hell of a lot longer than that.

Believe me.

Well believe me I was one of the first I've know him since the 8th grade so I think I must be somewhere near the front and I was definatley the one to corrupt him twoards the Earthlink experience since I got him his job. :devil:

[Hero2]

Oh no no no

The line to kill Hero2 is a hell of a lot longer than that.

Believe me.

:camfu: But if I take duffman out of the picture I get full right to kill you remember.. :rofl:

[Yugi Starwind]

Well, If you want me in the game, I could be a hidden character, or a sword for hire. My Special Skill would be Samurai Posting. (check my sig)
Weapon: GT Samurai Sword
and, that's all I got for now....

[Blackmane]

I wanna get in. Crono, I left you a PM about it.

I just hope there is still room.

[Jewels]

ill join you can give me any character you want (maybe a girl one)

[Vampyr]

Hey Crono, how about an update report? =-D

Hows it coming along? Or is chemistry homework keeping you away from the creative process?

[Crono]

To be honest... development hasn't been going very well. I haven't really had much time lately. I've been busy with homework, plus I go to a Gym about everday for about 2 hours. That takes a lot of my time after school. And I've been at Driver's Ed on the weekends (which is 9am to 4pm saturday and sunday). I don't know how I am going to get enough time into RPG Maker, expecially with FFXI in the near future. I will try to work something out, though.

[Happydude]

yeah you better *shakes fist*


and its not very healthy for your muscles(sp?) to go to the gym everyday

[TheGame]

I was thinking about getting the Ps2 version of RPG maker... I already wrote out a very long (and imo very good) store for the game, even though I haven't made names for most of the people in it.

But, much like Crono, my schedule is locked up... and by the time it will free up FFXI will be right there to steal all my time again. ;)

[Crono]

yeah you better *shakes fist*


and its not very healthy for your muscles(sp?) to go to the gym everyday

I go mondays, tuesdays, wednesdays, and thursdays. And I alternate from upper body to lower boddy each day... so it's fine.

[GameMaster]

So Crono, how's the GT RPG comin along?

[Crono]

So Crono, how's the GT RPG comin along?

Um....... it's going alright.

Actually, I'll be honest, I've done very little. I've had a lot of homework and haven't really had that much time to work on it, not to mention I had no internet for 3 weeks, which made it impossible to get any of the chipsets I needed. Sorry to disappoint you, it seemed good while it lasted. But designing it is always the hardest part.

[Joeiss]

Shucks.

[Yoda9864]

I was actually looking forward to this rpg. Oh well, deep down inside I knew this would happen.

[Vampyr]

Well darn.

I thought it would have been awesome. It was a good idea, anyway.

But like Yoda, I forsaw this. Perhaps if you had started at the beginning of summer, it would have been feesable, but with school approaching, I thought it would be difficult to pull off a project like this.

[jeepnut]

Seems the general consensus is that you were destined for failure. Oh well. I had faith that you would complete it. Maybe that's why I'm an idiot.

[Crono]

Well, if any of you people played RPG Maker you'd know that making an RPG isn't exactly easy, especially since you have to program everything yourself using the game engine's commands. But in any case, it was cool while it lasted...

[GameMaster]

Does that mean the project is being abandoned?

[Crono]

Yes. It's finished. No more GT RPG.
