I've been thinking about where I failed at handling Wyrm Warriors, and how I feel like making short RPGs with community-made characters could still be fun, if done on a manageable scale.

Just brainstorming here, but what if, between other projects, I made a series of short games (1-3 hours playtime?), and for each game I contacted 3 to 5 prominent members of the community and asked them if they'd like to contribute a main character and backstory, and work that into a small game?

Dunno, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but it's something I've been thinking about ^^;;
I've noticed a few team ups lately, after the Swapsies event. It's cool to see and I think it'd be great for more people to just teamsie up.


..I haven't forgotten that event, btw... just waiting for something to calm down at home first before going for it.

That sounds like fun, unity :D

It'd probably be a lot of work, but maybe you could plan in advance for people who are late or slow? Like, you could keep a backlog of a few extra member-heroes just in case!

I'd be mean about you starting multiple projects but I am barely keeping myself from doing the same :P

Haha, I've learned that I work best if I just have one project current and laser-locked on, and anything else on the backburner, so it'd def be in the future if I ever decide to. I've just been thinking about it a lot XD

Your idea about a backlog is a good one tho ^_^

A smaller scale Wyrm Warriors sounds pretty cool. I'd definitely be all for it.

I feel as though I never make games and just end up writing scenarios and dialogue. So if you need a guy to write things I'm your masked man.

Dunno if I'm prolific though.
I watched a video of WW and it seemed really cool! I'd love to help out as a mapper, if you'd ever need one!

I wouldn't mind throwing together a small EMDE!2-style community game someday. That's what WW was meant to be, anyway. Why did I think I could make it in like a week...? I ain't a high school kid anymore.

You're plenty prolific enough :D

Thanks! If I decided to go for it, I'd love to get your help as a mapper! Your maps are wonderful ^_^

Hehe, I would love that! :D
I think the only idea I ever thought of for a community RPG game here revolved around WIP and former team #shump members going corrupt and capturing a bunch of high prolific RMNers and holding them all hostage in a rather lacklustre attempt to slowly phase out RMN from all of existence…you know, for revenge! :D

You basically start off the game as Liberty and Kentona, being the only spared members, for some odd reason, jumping into various RM themed game worlds in an attempt to not only rescue missing RMNers but also defeat one of the former team #shump members in each world. As you defeat each #shump member and collect a certain number of maguffins, you basically move on to the next world and rinse and repeat until you get to WIP. Each of the rescued RMNers would have different abilities in combat or on the field, and such, and you can always switch out party members whenever you return to the HUB world at any time. If you manage to rescue them all, the ending that you receive will be a lot different than trying to take on WIP with just Kentona and Liberty by themselves (although that’s always a possibility). Oh, and Lord Aremen should be a super boss somewhere along the lines too.

That’s like the only idea that I’ve ever had for a community game on here regarding RMNers and such.

But, yeah, if you do decide to make a community game, unity, just stick to something short. If you happen to go by my idea, maybe just stick to around 8 worlds or so and maybe just around 20 or so possible RMNers that can participate in battle or on the field. Maybe something along the lines on how Craze does his own games with multiple party members and such in those dungeon crawler types of games would probably work the best. Something like that would be pretty sweet.
It'd be neat if we one day made some kind of collaborative dungeon crawl type game where the community makes the different classes/skill/etc that the player can pick from to delve in. Each of them could have a difficulty level and you'd be able to pick 4 to dive in.

Of course, that'd take a lot of balancing... >.<;
