GT RPG

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.

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, 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.

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

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.

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 · 08-19-2003, 01:35 PM

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.

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.

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.
