Okay, this is a record. 12 games planned at once. We should call Guiness to put this in his book of records under "most games planned in rpg toolkit while none of them is done yet".
Evidence...

Hmmm... I must update that list... I also have "the other project" and Off The membrane...
Very good Cesque...
-
i think you should just focus on your favorite one, and erase memory of the others...then focus on another....though....how would you rmember what you were going to do with the second one?... Laughing
-
Well, 10 of them are in a series so #I already have a big picture story for them.
-
...a ten gamed series???....woah!! thats a LOT!!
-
Well, 9 of them are from the 9 worlds of Norse Myth, and there is an extra world too.
-
ah, intersting, i like the names you come up with, i can never make any good ones of my own
-
Dark Forces is quite a good name.
-
i no, but i mean like town names, planets and all that jaz
-
haha Laughing
well im making a new game called trigun (and it has nothing to do with the series, except its about guns and is set in a post-apoptolyctic worldish type), im focusing my effort to this project...im currently scripting a battle system from the basis of MrG's ZELDA 2 battle system (the one sophia used in her game, Rudoplh's(sp?) Adventures) i should have a demo out by the end of the year, once i get the BS done ill be able to work on the game... Laughing
-
i hate doing that! where you have to get all the battles finished, graphics, menus, enemies, all before you can actualy work on the game.....i share your pain (but im done with my bs) Very Happy
-
The trick is, DarkElite, that none of my names, as far as I can remember, are origional.
-
Now that's cheap! Every name I use is original!
-
every one does it once dragon, maybe you...maybe not, dont know... btw, has anyone known a game that uses the name Kail (want it origional)
-
I use place names either in Norse myth or in real life.
-
Originality is not always good. Look at the games like Fallout or StarCraft - 90% of character names and quotes are from other things like books and movies, and it's fun to find these.
My game is not very original. Or is not intended to be so. Only a few names are thinked over by me (like "Kodra" etc), most others are deducted by logic, and took from other languages. Characters are called after historical or mythical people (you'll find references to Napoleon, queen Victoria, Moebius, Dalton, Marx, Lenin, Rasputin and most other XIX-XX century famous folks), cultures are openly based on existent ones (Kitan = China, Solaria = Japan etc), there are used existing languages and alphabets (latin, futhark) and this all overally is in a world pararell to ours, flavored by some other things.
It's not really "ripping" - it's rather "intelligent use of existing knowledge".
-
Yeah, I mean, the first nine games in the series are pretty much solely based on Norse myth, I cannot really create towns which do not exist, otherwise people might complain, however number 10 is all origional when it comes to place names.
-
I take town names from different things, but they are never true names of a town. Think Terranigma.
Also, I try to put up some "chaos theory" into my game... For example, in XIX century France is still ruled by kings, and "Constantinopole" (Arcenciel) is located on an island, because Europe and Africa are separeted, so Moors have never conquered Spain... There was no reformation, as religion is a bit other from what we see... Mekkah was under persian rule (not a nomad city, like in reality, I rhyme like a diety) so Mahomet's God's name is Mazda, not Allah, etc, etc...
-
Hehe, I will be doing a generic fantasy adventure a lot later than this year, probably 2009, if the TK lasts that long.
-
even if it doesnt....ill still play it
-
Yay! Someone actally wants to play my games. Very Happy
-
Well, if you turn all of your projects into just ONE game, then I'll probably play them.
See, as far as I know, only newbies plan out more than 2 projects at once. You seem to be a newbie. I do not play games made by newbies. Simple as that. I refuse to play the first demo of "Eternal Blade," which is MY demo, simply because it reflects my old newbie-ness. I am so much better with graphics and shit now.
-
You're better with shit? You mean you've got some problems with it some time ago? Heh.
I don't refuse to play any games, except they are absolute idiotic and so n00000bish that they smell like that for kilometers (think minicars, which I played anyway)...
-
Thankyou Cesque. MotD, I am currently concentrating on one game only, the others are future plans.
