This might be a bad topic, but IDK. Okay, my problem is decisiveness when it comes to making a project. Right now I realized I have overwhelmed myself in my own projects and cannot decide which one to work on currently. This would be an easy solution, but I can't stay focus for long. =/

I'm not asking for you to pick a project for me to do, though it may sound like it. >.<;; But, I am aiming for people's opinions. So, I am going to list my projects / ideas.

The Ways of Life: War of Life - RM2003

About:
> In the world of Thrae, The Ways of Old is dying out and arising in an attempt to replace it is a new way: The Ways of New. The Ways refer to a life style; The Ways of Old let people live independently free from any sort of governments, but only a set of rules and The Ways of New has set up a type of government for the people to follow as well as more advance in technology.
> On the only continent of Thrae, the top northern part has accepted The Ways of New and after a year of success established The Catalyst* Empire. The Catalyst Empire has slowly tried to influence The Ways of New onto others, but as expected, only a few accepted. After another year, The Catalyst demanded the people to follow their government and begun to force The Ways of New onto surrounding people and marched to do the same to the rest, believing their Ways is superior than the old.
> Seeing this as an act of antagonism, a group of people banded together to form The Independence Fighters, fighting to keep their ways of life which is The Ways of Old. After three years, people still continue to flock to the banners of The Catalyst Empire and The Independence Fighters as the battles only grow more intense, a sense of the end is near.
> Rivalries will be made and renewed... Love will be tested... Friendship shattered... And Hope will be lost in the struggle of The Ways of Life.

Other Info:
You play both sides of the war as the game is progress starting with the Independence Fighters and later on, The Catalyst Empire.


The Chapters - XP (This on is kinda long.)

About:
Claudia is a world that is written in the pages of history to be watched over by a goddess they've called Crystallai. This world hardly even known the meaning of the word "peace", grasped only as a legendary ideal by the people of Claudia wanted to reach. The lands were always in constent war with kingdoms attacking kingdoms and empires nearly destroyed by other empires. Though no kingdoms or empires have fallen, thousands were killed in many battles amongst the battling forces.

The people begun to realize that their race was dying with these wars and they were bringing the planet with them; forests being cut down to build spears and javelins, animals slaughtered for food, sport, or for getting caught in the crossfire of the wars. As hope for peace was beginning to dim as it was, strange monsterious creatures appeared without warning begun killing mankind. These creatures did in the short couple of months of what man wasn't able to do after years of war, destorying kingdoms and empires. Matters only worsesn before it got better, people of the cloth, who followed in the path of belief in the goddess Crystallai preached that these monsters was to atone for their sins.

Though, many people didn't give up and disregard that these monsters where here because of their sins, which many believed was the wars. Instead, they tried to fight back in hopes to repel the monsters. This was difficult since all the kingdoms and empire were gone, and most of the armies shattered, along with that most of those who took up arms had little or no experience at combat. Only a will to survive.

As battles for greed and power turned into a battle of survival, five great warriors found a way to bring those who wish to fight together and teach them what arts of war they knew. They formed what is called, a Guild, and they left it as such since no one even bothered with a fancy name as the thought of survival was on the top of the list.

Shorty after, Guild begun placing Guild Stations and Guild Schools almost everytown. Guild Stations is were Guild Soldiers would stay and help defend that particular town they were in, Guild Schools were meant to teach people on how to fight as it's the only way to leave the town a person reside in. It was simple, didn't know how to fight, you didn't get to leave.

Soon, Guild became a large foundation, a kingdom of it's own and for once uniting people all over the land for the cause to survive. Guild, also pass a law to allow other groups of people to create their own guilds if they didn't see Guild's laws fitting.

Forty years has pass since the founding of Guild and the war of survival continues to reign on...

Other Info:
Was basically trying to make this into where you play as a guy and you are partied with 3 girls. Depending on choices you make, you fall in love with one of the girls or not at all.


Rising Nation - The Foundation - RM2000 (Just an idea.)

About:
Being ditched as an infant and later found later by someone else, you grow up in a world full of war. When the battles went on too far, you decide to do something to end this war once and for all.

Other Info:
This was inspired by Kauma and his Legion Saga series.

And my last one...

That's My Bounty! - RM2003

About:
You play as Zack Thomas, a bounty hunter who wants to reach the top to where all the fame and glory is. But, starting at the bottom of the barrel, he'll realize it won't be that simply as he will encounter strange events, and party with a female college student who stalks him and another woman who goes on about her beauty. How will he vail?

Other Info:
I was planning to make this like an episodic style game. For example, Phantasy Star Universe. Plus, was going to make this very mp3 heavy with music from Newgrounds and possibly Sakari Infinity. Also, was hoping for maybe some voice actors too. Very ambitious in this one. Just lacking, graphics wise.
Your like me in the sense as of right now with me making a decision on what my next project will be (after Monopolo) Considering I have over 15 types of game ideas, I have to narrow it down very soon.

A couple of tips would be to closely dissect each game in general...with these following things in mind:

1.) Can This Be Done? Can I Do It?
* Choose the game you can pretty much do with little or no problems whatsoever. Don't try and make a game that is going to be pain or learning process all the way thru. Pick something you can do realistically!

2.) Do I Have The Resources?
Well...a obvious one, make sure you have your resources ready for your next project! Get em ready or start making them! You can always look for something down the road...but you want the main stuff out of the way first!

3.) Which Game Will Create The Most Hype For My Fans?
It's good to choose something that stands out differently to most people, so try and choose the game that is different, unqiue, something that hasn't been done before. You'll get more hits that way! Of course you can still go with a classic RPG, just try and make it a bit different.

4.) How Long Will This Take Me?
If you have been on fire with game releases then this shouldn't matter as much. But if your getting desperate to release something, shoot for something short. A nice 3 - 5 month project should be enough.

5.) Will This Be Fun?
Fun...yes, if X GAME isn't fun to work on or be around, then don't touch that game.

Okay! Hopefully this will help you make a choice, the best idea is to really think about for a bit and narrow your choices down. Like I am doing now. It's September. So by October or November I want to be officially done by choice.

As for the type of game I think you should do, it's pretty much up to you. All of these sound pretty good to what I have read. Follow your own path. I think you'll find the answer soon enough. :)

(That's My Bounty sounds pretty good, you should do that! ^^)
