RIDICULOUS PROJECTS IDEAS YOU'VE HAD IN THE PAST/PRESENT.

No one remembers X-2?. Yeah. *shiver*

FF. Yuna/Rikku/Paine. Ugh. Good gameplay, but terrible story.

I didn't say it hasn't been done before.

Though yes, that example is particularly sucky.

I thought of this years ago, but I want to actually do this once I finish Twilight Fantasy. The most incomplete and cliched game ever made. ^_^
Pack in every RPG cliche, name the equipment like "Sword 1," "Armor 3" or whatever, then have the names liek "Hero," "Love Interest," "Guy That Turns Evil Halfway into the Game," and so on ^_^

Something like this, but done a little differently. As it currently stands, the title was:

Phinal Breath of Phire Emblem Phantasy Star Oceanigma Phorty-Phour: The Quest phor Good Graphics (title still subject to change as other RPG titles conveniently fit into it)

The premise was, yes, an RPG that makes fun of RPGs. But, what would've made it interesting is that the game starts out 1-bit. Just 1-bit. You start out as a little white dot (the main character, appropriately named "Dot") on a big grey screen. After wandering around for some time, you encounter another white dot, called the "2-bit Orb." Upon activating it, the game would become 2-bit. And so, Dot's quest would become to pursue the 4-, 8-, 16-, 32-, and so on- Orbs, gradually making the world a bigger, better, and more detailed place.

The game would end when Dot and co. activate a graphics orb that isn't supported by the game's platform, causing the whole world to crash. The villains of the game would foresee this unfortunate ending and try to stop Dot before the world became too much and collapsed.

The sequel would pick up from the last game's ending on a new system that could support the new level of detail.

So, a nice idea, but it'd be pretty difficult to get much further than the 32-bit Orb in RM. Maybe that's where the game should crash, then...oh, and the letter "f" would not appear anywhere in the game. They would all be replaced with "ph," even in words like diphphicult. Take THAT, Phantasy Star!

I once tried to make a Metroid game that looked REALLY good.

I remember that too! That looks so damn awesome. It's a shame that you never did progress that far WIP, that looked really fuking cool! :)

Omg, that sounds cool! You should totally do that. Make it a really small like six or seven dungeon game.

Six or seven dungeons could never satisfy my plans for that game. I may attempt it someday, but it doesn't look like I'd be making it anytime soon. If I did, though, it'd be epicly long. I mean, the whole world revolutionizes every time you improve the graphics, so there's infinite potential after every new orb is found...potential I could never let go to waste.

But it's still a cool idea in theory. ::)

White She-Devil will have to make an appearance.
