GT RPG

Crono · 08-18-2003, 10:11 PM

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.

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*

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

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.

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

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 · 08-18-2003, 11:21 PM

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

Dylflon · 08-19-2003, 12:06 AM

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.

Thanks.

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

GameMaster · 08-19-2003, 12:14 AM

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.

jeepnut · 08-19-2003, 12:24 AM

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

or not.

Sure.

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

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.
