What do we want to happen in this game? Not just the big arc, although that's certainly important, but minor plot and character stuff as well.
Romance! Intrigue! Betrayal! Exploration! Mystery! Raising farm animals! There's an endless array of possible things to do with the story, and we should pick out a few to use here.
What do you like to see in a game?
For myself, I'm partial to a little romance, and a lot of character development. But that's just me.
First, besides the main character, there should be one more in which should change. The main romance character.
I say, if we can have it so that over time, depending on your decisions with characters and how you treat them, you could be with the hottest chick, be gay, straight, be with the ugliest gruff in the group afterwards... or with none. xD
Epic army stuff with gods demons wars... Over used and over rated is a personal thought... But, that doesn't mean don't include that. Just have other things, Like the love part...I like that idea also!
Absolutely! Why be limited?
On a practical note, it can be a lot of work adding a lot of stuff like that to a game. Easiest would probably be adding one character at a time.
I say, adding those features in afterwards. All the side quests, love triangles, etc. They should be thought of after be get the main story, home towns, etc. up.
Ever since i wa like 4, i've always wanted to be like this... Important character in real life, you know... a hero... Now that can't happen in real life but... The virtual world... now there we go!
You know what I hate? when the main hero's are NPC's... it's annoying and unethical... we should have the strongest player in the game the main hero.
When the main characters are NPCs?!??!!?? Who'd create a game like that?
That would be the most annoying stunt I can imagine. No, the main character needs to be the player, period.
...this is trickier in tabletop games, of course, or in multiplayer games in general, but the protagonist needs to always be the PC, or among the players.
(Sigh. Just reminded me of a really, really bad game I was in in college... we were expected, as far as I can tell, to sit around and have our characters be impressed by how cool the NPC space-pirate hero was. Hated that game...)
Why does the player always have to be good guy? we should aloow them to be evil lil bastards >=(.
Oh, there's lots of games where you don't have to be good, like Fable... and games where you're a self-centered criminal bastard, like the GTA series. No shortage there. No reason we can't leave the option open.
Fable was a VERY fun game in my opinion. Well i'm gonna let my cousin play some games. i'll be back a few.
Fable... I kept kicking people after they fell... <3
I have a musician joining the team. Echorev. I thought you was amazing and recruited him. Yay! x3
I may be able to get my friend Lazenca to help out every now and then too... >.>; He works with music a lot.
Cool, cool. The more the merrier.
So, anyway, what's the story here?
The main character has to begin somewhere. They ought to have a reason to begin adventuring, although it doesn't have to be anything like the actual main plot... (Loved Breath of Fire II, which began with finding someone's lost pet, and ended with saving the world...)
Anyway, we need a story. All the planning in the world won't get a game made-- we need to start, if we're going to.
Okay, that has some potential. That also says that we might want to get sprites and facesets of normal kids, too.
Think we could make it to were you can choose.
Name
Gender
Age
Height/Weight
etc.
think we could?
No! That wold REALLY suck!
We would have to do heights for every elf with red hairs that's a gunslinger...
Every human with blond hair that's an archer...
Not to mention makes fighting poses and character sheets for each of them.
That would take YEARS. O-o
Or a huge team of people..
