Whatchu Workin' On? Tell us!

People need to realize that games ARE NOT art, because they are a medium (like television). Mediums take in a lot of different arts like music, sound, graphics and gameplay. Gameplay is an art. Sound design is an art. Graphic design is an art. Games are a medium.

Your stuff looks good Benos. The world does need signs.

I've been stringing together maps that I've mad 30 exteriors / dungeons that are 50x50 and 30 interiors. It makes you feel small having to walk through all those exteriors when normally you have an overworld map.

EpiQuest

I'm not sure what 8 hours is really. Just what people tell me. I made the little mapping game, it works nice, looks great.

Thanks for playing littlebro.

I made idea generators

You should highlight what made you chuckle.

Anyway, I put 2 or 3 more hours into this and I have an area timeline that seems okay. I also have it so the system generates a lil background on the game world (seen below). It also generates an item you will need to pass through to whatever area is next. Items like boats, canoes, power gloves, hook shots, ladders, teleporters, magical keys. It gives people ideas on gameplay that way.

Soon I will make a plotline for the area timeline. Like town 2, boy meets girl, town 5 boy marries girl, town 8 girl is killed by ruthless overlord. Or town 1, boy's father goes missing, town 3, boy's father is found and they go partying together, town 4, father is killed by a party member that goes rogue. Sorry if that's a lil cliche, but people probably aren't reading this anyway.

This is a gothic world where anything can happen. Guns haven't been invented and melee weapons are common. For the most part people are peaceful. Knowledge has usually been passed through word of mouth. When someone is injured taken to a hospital. Inns are mostly used for a good night's rest.

This is a retro world where time is slowing down. Guns are a neccessity and melee weapons are futuristic. For the most part people are calm. Knowledge has usually been passed through word of mouth. When someone is injured taken to a hospital. Inns are mostly used for a trashy night.

This is a steampunk world where magic has not been used in decades. Guns are common and melee weapons are common. For the most part society is calm. Knowledge has usually been passed through word of mouth. When someone is injured they are brought to a church. Inns are mostly used for a full recovery.

EpiQuest 2

It can't yet. Sorry.

Getting better.

I made idea generators

New version 5

Here it is >> http://rpgmaker.net/users/ShortStar/locker/generator5.swf

So I was thinking about a legit plot generator that would take you through X amount of cycles with Y goals of each cycle (cycle beaing 1 settlement Z amount of areas). And thinking that it would generate like character A turns from sad emo to happy prince and at cycle 4 of 5 someone in the party will get married or perminantly die or something life changing. Then how will character A deal with it?

Or situational things like that emo character A has his wallet stolen. How will he deal with that. Emo A's girlfriend invites him to a party in cycle 3 how will he handle it.

More of an overall plot with story and character building. Plus I'd have Zelda items like what item does the party get at Cycle 1 (push rock ability), cycle 2 (boomerang), cycle 3 (hookshot).

I really think I can pull this off in an idea generator.

Or should I just quit now?

Anyone need a RPG VX mapper?

ok uploaded a light change..

Maybe soon I will string everything together and upload what I have without posting it on RMNK for fear of a bad review when there is no game.

Anyone need a RPG VX mapper?

Yeah its pretty dark... if I had to ask I know my answer. So I brightened it, but I'm sure I'll get the right blend. The flashlight script is just imperfecrt right now. Like when you enter a room its a big white spotlight for the first second. Oh and it seems to make the game crash when you change the music.

I can always make my characters into RPG 2K3 characters so they're taller.


So yesterday I mapped a lot... 1 town with 2 50x50 forest maps, 4 50x50 tunnel maps, 4 45x30 maps. 15 serious interiors and now today its up to 30. Its like Zelda or Secret of Mana where there is no overworld... just map. I've been thinking about just stringing a bunch of maps together for fun. Like I'm making my own world with no overworld.
