The Greatest RPG Maker VX Project Ever; Sort of. Not really.

Alright ladies and gents. I've got my RPG Maker VX right here, so it's time to make a frickin' GAME! Now with extra SNARK!

What I'm gonna do is post bits at a time (with screencaps of course) and you lot get to make all the decisions. I'll post updates regularly every time I implement the newest features. Hopefully we'll come up with a half-decent game that doesn't COMPLETELY suck.


~RULES~

1: Majority rules. The most popular ideas are implemented and the rest get to piss off.
2: Sensibility rules. Even if your idea is the most popular, if it's friggin' stupid, I'm not doing it.
3: Nothing too complex. I'm not a damn scripting genius, so if I can't figure out a way to do something with the game engine as it is, tough cookies.
4: Nothing rude. Watch your goddamn tongue, and get your mind out of the effing GUTTER, you mongrels.
5: ffffffnnnnrrrrr whatever there's no rule 5
6: No self-inserts. This game isn't here to inflate your ego, bricks-for-brains. This is gonna be completely original content, do not steal.


~BASIC GAME CONCEPTS~

- The protagonist's equipped Weapon and Accessory will determine their class along several axes (that's plural of 'axis', not 'axe', dumbass). We'll get to the finer details later.
- Damage types (or 'elements') are: Slash, Pierce and Crush for weapons, Fire, Cold, Wind, Lightning, Arcane, Light and Dark for magic, Bio for healing/poison/drain/status effect attacks and one secret element that YOU get to name later on for tremendous god-like damage.
- Will be using basic animations because I'm lazy, so DEAL WITH IT.
- Also using the basic stat names so I can use pretty icons: Attack (ATK), Defence (DEF), Spirit (SPI) and Agility (AGI)


So first thing's first; let's give the game a name. Hurry up, chumps, I don't have all day. Well, yes I do, otherwise I wouldn't be doing this.

No serious. It can be a game that doesn't take itself very seriously at all. Brlliant~

But I dunno. Kind of hard to name something when I don't know what the basic plot is supposed to be about. :I

"The Daily Quests of RPG Heroes"

... no wait I'm doing that humour thing again. |I

I dunno~ *shrug*

Also make Chaos a shopkeeper. *shot for breaking one of the rules right off the bat*

Someone's in in their hyperactive mode today. |D

Anyway, like Chaos pointed out, it's a bit tough to come up with a name without an idea of the plot. Based on what you've already established, it sounds like a medieval-themed RPG, but still, that's not a lot to go on with. :/

Can't we at least come up with the general idea of what the game should be about before we start thinking up names?

Normally I'd agree with you, but since we're making the plot up as we go along, it would ruin the fun if we did it that way. ^_^;; Just come up with a one-size-fit-all title that'll work with anything we might come up with (within reason).

Well, all righty then.

Let's seeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Hm... Dadadadadada... Oh, wait, since I won't be able to do a comic idea I once had, maybe the title I had in mind for it would suit this.

Does "Of Heroes and Legends" sound like a good title?

Alright, by popular vote in the Shack, we're going with 'The Adventures of Steve'. Since our protagonist's going to have optional name and gender, that can't be Steve, so the next question is who the heck IS Steve?

>Party Member
>Villain
>Rival NPC
>Protagonist's pet (FWOOOOOOGGYYYYYYY~)
>NPC largely unrelated to the actual 'adventure' (think 'Legend of Zelda', I mean, since when did Zelda do anything 'legendary'?)
>Other

I'm torn between Party Member, Rival NPC and NPC Largely Unrelated to the Adventure myself.

Party Member: Steve is reluctantly set out on an adventure by his somewhat eager friend, ______ (a.k.a. you), who insists on dragging him everywhere.

Rival NPC: Despite the adventure being named after him, the spotlight seems to go towards ______ instead. Thus begins Steve's epic struggle to steal back his spotlight, stopping the player at various intervals to challenge them to all sorts of silly contests!

NPC Largely Unrelated to Adventure: The adventures of Steve, as told by Steve. Starring ______ as Steve!


... I dunno. Just some ideas~

Steve should be a side character who takes up a lot of credit for the deeds of others whose accomplishments greatly outweigh his own. The player character(s) in this game would actually be responsible for a greater majority of Steve's "exploits". Players might end up with consolation rewards for their efforts. Maybe even gag items or abilities in the wake of Steve's untimely arrivals to take the player(s) spoils and reap fame and glory.

So Steve is like Captain Quark then. How positively IRRITATING. I LIKE IT! Cut-throat! Just the way to get forward in the adventuring industry! I like the way you think, Parker!

Speaking of items, it's time to get these class-defining items set up! So here's how this is gonna work, and pay attention, 'cause I'm not posting this twice!

- Your Accessory will be something we're gonna call a CREST. Your Crest determines your core Class, the thing that'll show up on the Status screen and will decide 50% of the Skills you learn later on.
- Your Weapon will determine the 'unofficial' side of your Class; your preferred fighting style. This will determine the other 50% of your Skills and will also give you some neat bonuses depending on the weapon itself.
- Combining different Weapons with different Crests will give you different Skills! Because heavens knows you guys won't be able to decide WHAT you want without having this kind of ambiguous leniency. Kids these days, geez.

I'm gonna post two questions here and come back tomorrow for the answers, so we can get a big ol' pile of suggestions in without my impatience getting in the way. And by that, I mean you better post fast, you slackers.

QUESTION ONE
What 8 classes would you like to see (e.g. Fighter, Thief, Fire Mage, etc)?

QUESTION TWO
What kinds of weapon types would you like to see? No upper limit, but I'll probably only pick about 12. NOTE: Dual-wielded weapons count as a separate weapon type than single weapons.
