I had an idea to create a game based on a RP topic. Then I would show progress along the way. I thought this was a perfect time to make it. What do you guys think?
If so, then ima start on it right away.
-
So what you mean is, Start a Rp and then as people do the rp you make an RPGtoolkit game with the rp being the story?
If so I'd help!
-
Yes exactly. One thing. I draw crummy. So do you mind if the graphics are crappy. Though were i draw, my programming skills make up for it.
-
I can't draw either,But I'll be teaching myself soon though.I wanna help anyway I can!!!
-
OK. Since your here, give me a char name with specifics and ill start on it tonight. Ill show screens tommorow along with the story.
-
Ack. I can't stay long. Ok im just do the char and everything. Expect screens tommorow or the day after.
-
Are you sure you came up with this idea, or were you inspired to come up with this from the time I was gonna make a game from "Yinagi's Adventure"
That would've been such a great game ;_;
-
Tosoto: Oh yeah. that would of been a great game. DAMN! I wish I save the archives.
Ok so our hero will be a heroine. I want a woman to be the heroe of this game. So I got this.

Tommorow ill have the story and screens.
-
Oh I wanna help too. Is there anything I can do? Please I wanna help! Very Happy
-
Yeah Dude Man. You can come up with a scene.
Give me:
Dateline:
Scene:
Name of city:
Also name the heroine.
-
Dateline: Midevil or Future (All the good games are in those time periods)
Name of city: Cranvona (I made that up so I might be dumb)
Heroine: Female: Diane
Male: Bradford
Hope I was a help
-

Ah cool. And you named Him after the name I made! Very Happy Is that red haired chick gonna be Diane?
-
Yeah. She is the main heroe of our story. Bradford, i dunno.
-
Bradford should be a dude who joins you at the near start!
-
Alright. But lets wait to decided when we do our story.
-
Okay. But I'm going to repey for a wile longer now because I'm getting off soon.
-
OK so here is the background story:
rp_shoots.zip (http://http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/tkgameboy/rp_shoots.zip)
But lets not start the story yet. I still gotta program some stuff like the b.s and menu.
-
and here she is, Diane:
(http://http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/tkgameboy/Diane.gif)
Yeah it sucks but like I said earlier I can't draw.
-
I also want to do original music for the game. So tell me what ya think of this MIDI for the title sequence.
Same_face.mid (http://http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/tkgameboy/Same_face.mid)
-
TK Boy your drawings don't suck...There acually pretty good. Really I mean it. I think they are. And nice music dude. Great Story too. So when are we going to work on the story game thing?
-
Give me a week to do the battle system and the menu. I am assuming that we will only have 2 characters.
Ok after I give the begining sequence, the game is on!
Also we must decide who is who so we can get our story straight. I want an original cast here.
So ima play Diane. Who is gonna play Bradford. What other characters are there? etc.
-
Can I be Bardfrod since I named you charactors and your town?
And maybe there should be 1 or 2 more charactors, cause 2 isn't a fun number.
-
I got discouraged by the way I drew Diane cause I knew I could do better. and I did. check these out:
(http://http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/tkgameboy/Diane_new.gif)(http://http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/tkgameboy/Bradford.gif)
If Diane looks like a guy, then I did it right.
Dude Man: I don't know. That would mean more work for me but if thats what you want, ok.
New character: Ronald. A 9 year old boy with magic powers outcast by his home town.
Also bad guy: Throme. Evil dude who is out to kill Bradford.
-
Still working on the music. I know some is gonna suggest the first scene in a bar so I made this little doozy, tell me what you think:
Still_late.mid (http://http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/tkgameboy/Still_late.mid)
-
Cool. Very cool. This is gona be one heck of a game Very Happy !
-
Ok ima start on the B.S and menu today but what I need to know is to comfirm everything. I want to adjust it so I won't have trouble in the future. So what I need is the entire cast of main characers (up to 5 for the party of course).
*****
Info:
The name of the game ima calle "Zealot Dynasty". The background I just told you.
Now the story:
King ______ is worried about the neighboring country because he fears they will leach an ultimate attack. So he calles his bravest knight Sir Arthur Van Pren (who is actually Diane) who is sent to investigate the matter. Upon this she meets up with her best friend Bradford and they go. They discover something horrible. What it is? I'll leave that up for the story.
Now the most important thing. When are we gonna start this? Next tuesday. Wheather or not im done with the b.s (so I better get working).
-
Okay so here arr some other charactor I got an idea for
There chould be a little monster dude or something like that and his name could be: App or Itoad. Those seem like werid names, good for a monster dude!
Here are some other names for the other 2 charactors
Dash, Lance. Are those good?
-
Give me some more info.
Also here are some specs for that kid I made up.
Ronald.
A 9 year old boy with magic powers outcast by his home town because they found out about his powers. He now goes in search of a new home.
Also heres a coincidence, my bro named a character Lance in his Breath Of Fire: Dragon Quarter game. Aint that somthing.
-
Ha cool. Well maybe we can use the guy named Dash
Dash
A knight who works for King____ he was sent on the same mission and to see if Diane was okay. (They should go missing or something later on and then Dash finds them)
So is that anygood?
-
That sounds good.
Oh and here are specs for Diane and Bradford (hope you don't mind me doing bradford.)
Diane
A young woman that has similar characteristics of a man. She wanted to be a part of the kings army because her father never had sons only two daughters. Since she resembles a man, she decided to take on the objective.
Bradford
A knight and Diane's friend since childhood so he knows she's a woman. They are a inseperable pair and go on missions together but fears one day the army will find out the Diane is a woman and slice her head up. Also he is afraid of being killed in the battle field because he believes it is inhuman for a man to kill another man.
***
Also tell me how should Dash looksl like so I can draw him.
-
Sounds good! Okay Dash will also be a Knight but I guess he will appear later on. And I guess he will look like Branford but he's a bit bigger and stronger and his amrmor is red. I guess Dash will be an Elite Knight.
-
Awesome. So we got characters. Do we want one more cause ima start the B.S today and if you don't reply now, then 4 it is.
-
Well im going home. No more characters. Its four now. Yippe.
-
Dern...I was gonna reply but it's to late now. Oh well...
-
Dern...I was gonna reply but it's to late now. Oh well...4 is acually a nice number!
-
Alright folks here it is, the battle system:
(http://http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/tkgameboy/ZD_bs.gif)
Ok so it aint complete but im working on it.
So anyways tell me what you think of this two songs. The first is the battle theme. Second the victory theme.
Feed_it_some_more.mid (http://http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/tkgameboy/Feed_it_some_more.mid)
Victory.mid (http://http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/tkgameboy/Victory.mid)
-
Nice looking Battle System! I can't wait to play it snd those MIDI's are cool. I like the battle one!
-
don't take any offense from the next 2 sentences:
MY EARS! THEY'RE BLEEDING!
-
That was harsh man....Those MIDI's were good.
-
don't take any offense from the next 2 sentences:
MY EARS! THEY'RE BLEEDING!
NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ack. Well thats what I get for trying to get criticism.
-
That was harsh man....Those MIDI's were good.
Prob the reason why is that he gots a better version of a media player while I got an older version.
-
Well I said they were good!
-
Maybe it will fit in with the game, I say use it. No objections from me Smile Smile Smile
-
Hmmm....What dose that mean? :unsure:
-
BS update
(http://http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/tkgameboy/RP_battle_02.gif)
Ok now time to explain how the B.S is gonna work.
You will have three options of when a character will attack.
1.)The traditional cronological order
2.)The strongest attacks first
3.)Random
3 enemies at max. You will also have hearts that will completely fill you up when you die.
Now the tactics:
The tactics are a team based special ability. When they are unleashed depends on when you have learned it, your strength, magic, and tactic stats, and how many members.
To learn a tactic you must pass test by prophets. Each prophet in some towns, villas, or lone houses will give you a test wether its memorizing words, fighting a monster, or going on a wild goose chase. At the end you will learn a tactic.
-
Ok time to create our character Bios. I will use the same template as tosoto with some others. Also at the moment the abilites and tactics will be the overall power, not neccesarly the exact power.

I'll leave the last one for you guys.
-
Time for some rules:
- Remember, the world will be ruled by me. Only I create items, monsters, towns, and weapons/armor but characters and boss monsters can be created by anyone anytime
- Remember this will be turned into a game so no garbage
- Do not input the story where you buy stuff or find stuff unless its an item that wont go into the bag
- Focus on Diane and Bradford since we will always follow them unless you have an intermission where another scene is used
- Intermissions should be at the appropriate time, like after a boss battle not in the middle of an important conversation
- If you want the story to involve learning a tactic or ability, go ahead but lets not use all of them. There is 10 for each char
When I think of more, ill let you know.
-
Item info:
The currency in this world is a dowry (dowries plr.).
Here the different kinds of items:
- Potions: Heal (Red:HP Blue:Magic), attack, poison, paralyze, confuse, sleep
- Hearts: Red:Fill your HP up when you die, Blue: Fill your HP and Magic up when you die
- Fortune Cookie: Save game, heal 10 HP
- Artilery: Bombs and arrows
These are some of the items. More will be available in the game.
-
B) Sounds cool. So when do we start?
-
BS update:
(http://http://jupiter.walagata.com/w/tkgameboy/RP_shot_03.gif)
When do we start? Tuesday. Also I decided to change the currency from dowries to delta's because it sounds much cooler.
Ok now to explain how to write down learning tactics.
Some tactics I want you to find on your own but sometimes we want the players to learn a tactic in the storyline so here are some guidelines:
- To make sure ppl wont woosh through it, explain the tactic as simple as possible. Example: "The test started. Diane turned to a corrider and dodged a snake. Passed through another. There were many switches on the wall, she picked one and it was a booby trap. Alot of snakes were slidering everywhere. She pulled anotehr and it opened 3 doors. She took one and ran...". Notice that it didnt say which door or which switch
- Tactic's are team based so try to have the entire team involve
- The test must be similar to what the tactic is about. Example: If the tactic is to form a protective barrier around everyone, the test must be about defending each player from falling blobs from the ceiling.
- Each player can learn up to 6 tactics
-
Also im not going to wait. Here is the info for Lance (also I noticed that I used that name instead of Dash. It seems like I got use to Lance):
Name:Lance
Age: 22
Gender:M
Weapons:Bow and arrows
Hair: Red
Facial Hair: Beard around the mouth and sides
Clothing: Red armor
Abilities: None
Tactic: Offense
Bio:
Personality:

Progress on the B.S is realy SLOW! I spent an entire 2 hours trying to figure out why this didn't work:
#If(hp[1]!>0) {#SetImageTransparent(enemy[1]$,x[1]!,y[1]!,w[1]!,d[1]!,255,0,255)}
This is suppose to make the enemy appear if they have more than 0 HP but it didn't work. After 2 hours I found out that it was suppose to be written like this:
#If(hp[1]!>0) {#SetImageTransparent(enemy[1]$,x[1]!,y[1]!,w[1]!,h[1]!,255,0,255)}
See how hard it is to program a B.S?
So I estimate that this is gonna take me 3 weeks and the menu like an additional week or two cause the equip is really hard to create.
So what I ask is should we postpone the story till I finish the B.S and menu or continue on tuesday anyways?
If we continue, progress will go slow and we cant post fights.
-
Also to those of you interested in learning how to create a B.S, I will write down a tutorial while im programming the ZD battle system. So in the process im hitting two birds with one stone.
-
I'm liking this idea a whole lot. I could create some music for you.
I'm also considering letting you use my custom systems. *gasp!* ...Though I'm not sure how well they'll look with a normal looking font.
-
Also im not going to wait. Here is the info for Lance (also I noticed that I used that name instead of Dash. It seems like I got use to Lance):
Name:Lance
Age: 22
Gender:M
Weapons:Bow and arrows
Hair: Red
Facial Hair: Beard around the mouth and sides
Clothing: Red armor
Abilities: None
Tactic: Offense
Bio:
Personality:
Wasn't it going to be Dash? Or do you want Lance instead? Or both?
-
Eon: Thanks but I perfer to do my own music. I may not know anything about music theory and they may sound like a bunch of bleeps and stuff but...well you tell me. The links are around this topic.
