Interesting.

[AssassinX]

I've been noticing over the past few weeks, the Game Devopment threads have really died down, People are totally giving up on their games all together.

We need to grow together as a community so we can keep projects that have extreme potential going.

Just thought I'd bring that up.

[sketch]

Thanks for bringing this up for everybody!I've noticed this same thing happening.One problem is probably that the only games being made here at the moment is pokemon and everyone gets tired of one thing after a period of time.We need more variety in our games.

[Alistair]

That is another reason why I started the projects Sol and Luna. There are too many Pokémon fangames.

[WHALESDUDE]

I'm making actually 3 games! Not just my pokemon one... Ones a forum rpg from my old forum so thats not good to share here. The other one is good so maybe I'll post that too... actually I will just not now. I just figured well... since its "Poke" community might as well only put that one up. Sorry, I didnt mean to contribute to the problem! :P

Maybe you would even be interested in veiwing what I ahve so far in the Regualr RPG I'm making... Its got kinda a bad name but... it can be changed: Gate of Eternities (GoE). Yeah... I know... its sounds kinda cliche or somethings weird about it... but... I cant think of anything else... once I make a topic maybe yall can give me some Ideas :P

[sketch]

That's actually a pretty nice name.Also,I think that is the reason people only post poke fan games, because it's called pokecommunity.There has to be a way that people can know they can post other type games.I'm going to post my Kingdom Hearts game soon after I finish the system and map some stuff.

[WHALESDUDE]

whoa! Nice! Real time or rpg style?

Thanks for the compliment! I might actually make a topic afterall :)

Maybe for combating the decline of origional games... maybe make a sticky announcement about it. Like, don't just make pokemon games... but... I suppose a big reason why people visit this site is because its all about pokemon (well... mostly)

[AssassinX]

Yes, after a while, once you've played 1546 fan games its almost like your playing the same thing over and over, right now Me and A couple buddies from me home town are deisgning an RPG, we havn't started yet because we want to lay it all out and get everything beforehand.

Maybe, we should all work an RPG together(just an idea) to show people that just because its PC doesn't mean you have to make the oh to common pkmn games.

[Alistair]

Do you think if I switched my project to RMXP, a lot of people would contribute? (RM95 is the same as 2K & 2K3 combined, with XP graphics.)

[AssassinX]

If you switch to RMXP I will deffinetly help, not tm many people use RM95 anymore and thats a shame.

[sketch]

Not really sure.There are people like me with better experiences in rm2k/3.I just find it easier cuz I'm use to it.I hope I can post my game soon.Oh, and AssassinX, that's a nice idea to lay everything out and get it beforehamd, same thing I did with my game.I'll post a quick pic of my graphics I took yesterday.The bottom in blue is the new keyblade master.

It's not enough to make a thread yet though.

Also,maybe we should get a mod or admin to post an announcement about the not only pokemon games go here thing.

[Alistair]

Well, like I said, RPG Maker is almost just like RPG Maker 2K(3).

[sketch]

Ya,I know.I was about to get it,but I stuck with the slightly newer versions.I'm just better in 2k3 I guess.

[AssassinX]

Yes, I agree, So what to do..... Well I might start A little project in RMXP today just to show people its potential, rather then PKMN games, you guys wanna help with some ideas.

[sketch]

How about some small simple KH stuff.Or maybe a completely new idea?My game will have worlds like Hyrule,and Star Wars stuff, but also new worlds that I'll make up.

[AssassinX]

Ya, A new Idea, I dont very much like doing fangames because im to creative for that I like to do my own work, I was thinking:

Your a training Samurai living in a small village one night you go to sleep and your mother is kidnapper you set out to find her the end and everyone lives happily ever after.

[Alistair]

I have got a storyline already for you. I will PM you as soon as I am done typing it.

[AssassinX]

That would be great, will you contribute some Graphics as well, I want to do most stuff custom.

[Alistair]

I am not very good with graphics. Sorry!

[sketch]

I like my own ideas as well,but I also like KH because it still lets me express my ideas freely.The way I'm making it it is anyway.

[AssassinX]

Well, lets see... I think we should get some more people to help ot?

[sketch]

I'll help on finding resources if you like.Or a title and game over screen!

[AssassinX]

I will make the title screen tonight most likely, Anyway I hope to see that more and more people start making games that they want tomake and not be conformed to Pokemon Games

[Alistair]

Well, we need at least one other person who has played Time Stalkers (AKA Climax Landers for all you non-US people) So they can help with graphics.

Also, I sent you the storyline. Tell me how you like it. If you don't, I can make you a new one. (I have ideas for over 500 items and 300 spells and abilities.)

[AssassinX]

Its good but I Pmed the rest of what I thought

[WHALESDUDE]

Oh, if you want to see some stuff I've done in the new RPG I've been creating, I could post some screens... I've only really gotten to the part where you start but... its getting there...

Anyways, If anyone wants it, they can test/look at it. Its a GoE intro by the way. I made some sprites and the title in the beginning/scene in teh beginning. I also splice maps. (I did a helluva lot of that.) I can do that for people as well if you'd like. Should I post the game here once I host it?

You know what would really be funny though... if you made a pokemon world in your KH game :P

EDIT: Got it uploaded! heres the linkzorz :)

[Yuoaman]

I have a good idea, it's called the GUNNER Trilogy. You're Zell an agent in the GUNNER agency, a group of people who traveled back in time to restore the past when another group, the OFFICERS go back to rule the world.
You live in a medievil world, you can use guns, swords, and magic.

How's it sound?

[WHALESDUDE]

Sounds good! Maybe post the storyline in the Plot and story Idea section!

What Maker are you using? I'm pretty good with RMXP so... I'll help you if you need it.

Oh and by the way, I posted the link to my Intro to Gate of Eternities. Thats what Rmxp can do! (Some are a little... askew... but...)

[AssassinX]

Well here is another one of my ideas:

You are an Assassin and you find out the crime syndacet you work for is going to kill you, so you turn on them and kill one of the main bosses in the gang, then they all try to kill you, you have a run in with this weird clan and you join them and you defeat the whole flipping crime syndacet thjat ttied to kill you

[WHALESDUDE]

whoa! :P Rougeness :D

Thats kool! You should make it!

[AssassinX]

I just might, dude Im making this online rpg where you click and drag body parts to make your character then you save it and play with, him , will you help me make clothes weapons ect?

[Alistair]

Hey, check my thread for the first screenshot.

Oh, and AssassinX, that seems like a good idea. Maybe have a vitality system that bases the power and accuracy of your attacks based on your vitality.

[AssassinX]

Define Vitality

Could you help me with this system please I can do think click and drag part just fine but Im having trouble finding something were I can make there atk and such

[Alistair]

Vitality - Energy

I am not really good at programming. I can read and edit a lot of programming languages, but I cannot program. (I can understand fully how to do events in the RPG Maker series, though.)

[AssassinX]

Im not going to use rpg maker, I am doing an ONLINE rpg, text based, but you can upgrade you "Avatar" kind of like gaia online but this will be an online rpg

[Alistair]

Ah. I see. How are you going to make it though? I suggest using the Konfuze engine. (That is, if you can find it)

[AssassinX]

What im doing, let me explain it:

Im making a website, you clikc create character and it brings you to this page, on this page you will have all kinds of clothes, weapons, armour, ect, you click and drag objects to add them to your character, you click prt-screen, and go into a paint program, Press- Ctrl v and then take you guy out and save him, go to them forum where the rpg will be, put you guys stats into your signature including the cgaracter you just made

Do you get it now?

[Alistair]

Oh. Yes, I get it now. Doing it this way is going to make the game very flexible.

[AssassinX]

Flexible in a good way, or a bad way?

I am making some clothes now, I will start a thread to see if people will help out.

[Alistair]

Both good and bad. I think some people will be interested in it. (I would support, but I have too much to do.)

[AssassinX]

Ok, tell me if you know any body who would help, all clothes, weapons, hair, ect must be able to fit on this template, and must be saved in gif format 32409

[WHALESDUDE]

wow! That sounds like a lot of work! I'm ok atr drawing big stuff, but I'm best at pixel art, like pokemon :D Send me a template and I'll see waht I can do!

[AssassinX]

I posted the template.

Pm anything you make to me please.

[allen2003]

ya it's kinda dead but i think it's recovering :D

[AssassinX]

This, isnt dead right now Im working on an in-depth plot, this thread is sort of dead until I post some ideas
