Help with RPG im creating

[HaLLa]

I am making an RPG game. When done I will make a website for it and it will be available for download. This will be a real RPG. It will be similar to playing an RPG for the SNES. But you can play it on your PC. Now here is where you come in. I would like any ideas you have to make it awesome. If you have any ideas for what kind of RPG I should make, what should be on it, story, or anything of the source.....PM me, AIM me, or reply. I will give credits to anyone who helps with this project. Also if you are good with graphic design and stuff you could be on the design team. Thanks

I love RPGs. But, it really depends on what type of RPG you would like to make this. Also when thinking about the plot and characters you need to think about how they act towards other people and in certain situations, also you need to think about whether you would like to make this serious, comical, sad, depressing, or amybe a combination of a few of those.

Of course there are other things that need to be decided but I was wondering what type of RPG you wer thinking about creating.

[HaLLa]

Im not sure right now. Im open to all suggestions, before I made an RPG messing around that was comedy.

You had a guy....you could buy hoes from a pimp, you could get drunk, smoke weed....

it was all weird...

you fight this old man and he smacks you and your like **** and he woops ya and leaves

it was funny

Hehe, awesome. Are you using any certain program to create this RPG?

P.S- I'll try to think of things that you might be able to use in your RPG.

is it RPG Maker 2k?

Yea i'll help. Heres some ideas:

Storyline:
It's the final days of Ragol. You and Three of your closet friends fight to survive on the failing planet until Pioneer 3 is built. Everything was going fine on the construction until they run out of energy for the ship! Now it is your quest to find some kind of fuel that can power Pioneer 3 before Ragol destroys itself!

Attack System:
Kinda like the Legend of Zelda. You can use items anywhere for an effect. Except more weapons than just a sword. We could do the weapon system like The Secret of Mana where you recieve weapons with different attacks and you upgrade them with certin items. I just don't want anykind of battle like in Final Fantasy where every five seconds it's a flash and clash battle.

Item System:
We could use the same items from Phantasy Star Online just a little different. Depending on say what kind of backpack you have is how many different items you can hold. Say you start with small bag that holds 3 types of items but in the end you get huge trunk that holds 300 types of items.

Status System:
I want the character selection kinda the same except minus some of the details, it's a SNES graphic game so it's not easy to do big differences on it. The status will be the same way as in Phantasy Star Online but let the player pick where his status raises at a level up. Like in Diablo.

Moving System:
I want the moving system like a classic rpg like The Legend of Zelda where it is of a overhead view and you just go up, down, left, or right.

Spell System:
We can use the same spells and level them up the same way just only put one of each spell for each level of that spell and you could equip the spells like you would a weapon. Then when you attack the spell would come into effect. Say you equip foie, Attack, and a fire ball will go in the direction you are facing. Or will RaBarta, attack, then a force of ice will go around you and damage enemies around you.

Status Effects:
Poison is damage equal to your level each step. Confuse is that you move randomly around. Paralyze will make you stand still and not attack for a while. Shock is like paralyze but you can attack. Freeze means you can't move until you are hit or thaw. Status increases and decreases will work the same as in Phantasy star online.

Experience System:
I think that it should be more than just killing monsters. Say instead of getting really low meseta after a mission you could instead get some extra experience points.

MiniGames: Thinking about it.

Ending: There should be two, a good and a bad one.

Hmm... I think that should be a ton of ideas to start off with.

SoM ROCKS!!! I mean.. that's a good idea.. although I think he's just posting here that he wants an RPG idea.. not a PSO RPG idea... mmm hey you should make that ASAP before I go AWOL, acronyms are fun!

frankly you got to have some ideas before you make an RPG, people can't help you out and pull story and shit from there ass when they have nothing to work with but I'll try anyway, I'll PM you though.

RPG Maker...I screwed around with that a while back. Deleted it after I finished the game(which I made for my friends, who actually enjoyed it). If you could post the site where it's at (I forget), I'd be grateful. Anyway, my few ideas are - Do NOT have too many characters. Having 8 characters might be cool, but it's very annoying to have to keep switching between the two parties(since it's 4 maximum). Also, try not to use the spell/spell animations that they give you. Create your own, unique spells(and elements). It's a lot more fun to have a Mage that uses something like Bone as his element than the classic 'Fire Mage.' n_n My final idea is - Give two characters the same name! It makes the game a lot more realistic that all of your characters are conveniently differently named. In my old RPG, there were two Toms, which got incredibly annoying when people would go on insulting rants, using the name Tom, and neither of them knowing which one was being insulted. Those are my stupid suggestions, follow them or not, whatever.

Are you doing a PSO RPG?

Sorry about that Newb Question, it slipt out. I mean, this IS pso world? Why wouldn't you be doing a PSO RPG on the pso world boards?

[HaLLa]

actually im not sure what its going to be about yet

[SlashEdgewind]

I think he just posted it here because he knew alot of people would answer it... it doesn't really have to be about PSO just cuz he posted about it here..
