"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
I wanted to be a writer. 5 years ago, when I was 18, I took the Artistic Writing major in college. While saying "I want to write" is simple enough, now the question was, "What sort of writer do you want to be?"
My faculty specialized in film making. I was set to become a script writer. During my years there, I've made dozens of scripts and a couple of short films with my friends. After I'm done with college, I got a job writing articles for a living.
Looking back, that last question stuck on me. What sort of writer do I want to be? Well, all I wanted to do is share my stories with people. My love for writing can only be matched for my love for game. Perhaps what I really wanted all along was to write for games.
So here I am.

My First Game Draft
author=Backwards_Cowboy
In related news, VX Ace is on sale on Amazon for both the digital version and the physical version. That should lessen the blow to OP's paycheck.
Son. Of. A.
I just bought it off Steam for 35 dollars. Damn if I had some patience I could've saved that 5 bucks (Which is 16 bucks in my currency).
My First Game Draft
It's pretty much as you put it. Something simple and doable. When you put it that way, it does make sense for a solo play integration. Perhaps I can include tournament events and limit it to 1 player in these events. Well, my sketchy battle concept would be 1. Pick your people. 2. Send to battle. 3. Get results immediately. Pretty sure that wouldn't be impossibly hard to script.
As for the endings, none of the ones you suggested really meshes well with the "real life player trying to conquer an online server" setting that I had in mind. But, that city-builder function caught my attention. You can do that with RPG Maker? It's just that in some MMO, if your guild is prestigious enough, you get your own castle. I'd love to have that feature where you end up purchasing a castle and make that your new headquarters to interact with guild members.
Anyway, interface question. Rather than an overworld, I would like to have an "Action" menu on what to do when you're out of a town. For example, visit town, contact players, go on raids, etc. Can't really remember any games in particular with that sort of interface, I think Monster Rancher had it. If you have any idea what I'm talking about, could you tell me what is it exactly call and what sort of script do I have to look up for that?
Edit: like this one.

My First Game Draft
Thank you for your suggestions. Currently I'm reading about the scripts that you mentioned and trying to pick them up.
While what I had in mind at the moment is mainly the "Make guild, build it up, get turfs" storyline, I'd like it to have more than one ending. While the merchant ending is pretty much the same as the guild leader one except with a more business-like model, I can't seem to marry this idea with the PKer/Duelist route.
So let's say the main mechanics would be making a group, pit that group against another group and let the RNG decide the outcome. What if you don't have a group? What if you're alone? At least I could focus more on the socializing element when it comes to making a guild. The only viable option that I can think of for now is a separate 1-on-1 fights for duels and such, which I don't really like. So maybe I can use the same mechanics except limit it to 1 on both sides, which seems weird or make a different battle mechanic for 1 on 1 fights which seems weirder. Any suggestions?
Besides all that I've mentioned, are there any other ways to conquer an MMORPG server besides being the best guild, the richest merchant and the deadliest solo player? I think I would like to have 5 different endings rather than 3.

My First Game Draft
While I haven't purchased RPG Maker yet, I'm set to do so by the end of this month when I get my paycheck. In the mean time, while I already have the premise set, I have yet to make up my mind on a clear way to tackle it. Here goes nothing.
This Server Is Mine!
Since ancient times, Seraphims and Daemons have been warring over the land of Zwielicht for total dominance. Recently, the human race who were previous a slave race under the Daemons have... okay this intro is too long. When do I get to conquer this server?
You are a new player in an MMORPG. As with any MMORPG, you could be anything. The best PKer, the best PKKer, the richest merchant with an army of Chinese gold farmers or even the leader of the best guild! (Good luck with the Korean guilds, though)
Form a guild, recruit members, participate in nation wars, do everything that can be done in an MMO and conquer the server!
***********
Basically, it's a fake MMORPG, like the dot hack games. However, I'm focusing more on the MMO part and totally ignore the RPG part. The game focuses more on strategic inter-player relationships. The MMORPG part could be more of like a simplified GrindQuest interface.
One route would be that you form a guild, you recruit members, you interact with other guilds whether you want to form an alliance, declare war or a peace treaty. You meet and possibly befriend a couple of Game Masters. Keep your guildmates happy by organizing meetings, silly games and fun events. If they're unhappy with you, they would leave and you might find them in an enemy guild.
Was thinking of maybe integrating monthly in-game events like "Warriors are nerfed! Wizards are now OP!" and you have to reshuffle your attack team before you go to war. Minor romance element might be included as well. It is supposedly an MMORPG after all. Can get married and such. I imagine that would play out more like a visual novel route.
Well, anyway, as I asked, what sort of a cookie-cutter mold should I go for with this premise? I'm not creative enough to make or find a revolutionary new scripts but at the same time competent enough to use something that's already out there.

A Man Can Dream
A Man Can Dream
Thank you. Is there any section around here where one can "sell" his or her concept out in the open and see anyone willing to do it and/or help?
A Man Can Dream
And this man's dream is to write for video games.
I'm sure unlike graphic designers and musicians, writers are a dime and dozen these days. But, I for one actually write for a living. I started writing in college when I joined the Artistic Writing course, where the faculty itself specialized in film making. I was set to be a scriptwriter.
After I graduated, I got this job writing articles day in and day out. It's not exactly my dream job, but it pays the bill. I've heard of RPG maker through Steam and I thought to myself that maybe this is a way to fulfill my dream.
While I have zero experience in programming, I dare say that I'm good at coming up with stories, dialogues, premise, characterization, concepts and such. Well anyway, maybe by joining this forum I can one day see my name on the credits of a game.

Some Questions About RM
Hi. I don't have RPG Maker yet, but I am interested in purchasing it and maybe make my own game. I'm not sure if this is the correct section, forgive me if it's not. Anyway, before I actually start my project, I wanted to ask a couple of questions.
1. Is it possible to make a regional conquest game with RM, sort of like Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Crusader Kings 2?
2. If the answer is yes, is it hard or extremely hard to make?
3. If it's possible, then I assume someone else has done it before. Could you recommend me (good) games of that genre made with RM?
4. I have 0 experience in programming. What can I do to pick up the skills necessary to make a games that other people would actually want to play?
5. At a glance I've seen some sort of an art designer/artists clique on this site. Is there a writer's clique in this community? I'm a writer by profession, it has always been a dream of mine to write for a game. Since making games is not really a thing where I'm from (Malaysia), I suppose I should start from scratch.
Please go easy on me, thanks.
