I think it's a viable option, although you would inevitably have less participants and the whole thing would take longer to do.

I don't think it's wise to make custom chipsets mandatory, though. just encouraged~

How about at least allowing VX if FSM tiles are used?

Well, I am actually on the fence about that. It would be much, much easier to just skip custom graphics and use RTP/REFMAP. Using customs will probably just wind up in a lot of people quitting.

And lots of people would be out if it was in VX

We should just pass the game project for the next person to add onto and go nuts. It'll be like Heavy Metal only in RPG form with the art style and story changing every chapter.

that's what I was thinking. When I said art styles I was also referring to just how people design maps and write dialogue~

in any case I think the best course of action would be to let people do whatever they want as long as there is some measure of effort

Yeah, that's actually a pretty ace idea.

I really think a serious chaingame from this community would be balling. I'd be up for it if it was in Rm2k3.

I don't even have RMVX, and there is enough divisiveness surrounding it that I think it'd be a general bad choice. While some people prefer XP/VX to Rm2k3, most of those who do at the very least don't mind using Rm2k3. The same can't be said of the opposite, I'd guess.

I like the idea of using custom graphics (or, if you're not up to it, Lennons!) with a very simple style would be great.

For a serious game, all we need to do is make sure someone keeps a list of "dramatic personae" and also that the story doesn't get confusing as BALLS.

edit: I vote all charas be edits of FF6 chars!

Well, like I said, I can do some of the custom graphics. I'd need someone else to help out since I already have a lot on my plate right now.

If you provide us with grass and cliffs we could each add a few tiles, attempting to emulate the style (if its simple enough, I should be able to). Someone might add rocks, someone might add a brick wall, whatever they need for their chapter gets added. Edits/working off a distinct source (even someone else's custom source) is always easier than from scratch.

Well, if we are doing whatever we want, it's easier to use something thats already made. If I were to make the graphics for it, I'd just copy the RTP in a different style and be done with it.

I would still much rather just use stuff that's already made, for the sake of getting people to participate + getting done, though.

I'm going to say for this project idea, being able to import many chipsets easily is of dire importance since we're all going to toss in whatever we can find/draw/both.

I'd just use 2k3 because that's what I have all ready at the moment.

I'll try screwing with RTP graphics to make custom for us tonight.
It seems like there's enough interest. Now it's just a matter of getting resources together and making the base project to get things going.

Any story suggestions? Or should someone (me?) just start and hand whatever is made to the next person?

You should start it off and while doing so decide the order the people will go in. But there is a problem, if one person has a problem finishing, it will stop the game there and the rest can't. So I suggest no size definition so anyone dropping out during production can just hand it over what they got so the next person can finish.
