Making an RPG! If you want to help what I'm in need of is writers, and people versed in gaming. I want to do something slightly different inside of familiar tropes, but avoid all damsel in distress ideology. I want some deep, and creative writing. I'm also considering having voice acting as it's not hard to put it into the game, but of course... I need voice actors to do that. So, there may be auditioning in the future as well if you think you want to do that, and I'm fully willing to credit you, or you can stay completely anonymous to even me.


Aside from that, I'm focusing my energy on characters, and game mechanics.


What the video mainly talks about is the capabilities of the program I'm using, and a general idea of what the game will look like while you're playing.

Enjoy!

Hey I'd like to help with it and also maybe be in it :)

you can count me in I may not be the best at what I do but I am willing to give it a try

I can give you some ideas in mind, but they are some okie

I can help as long as I know what I'm doing and the directions are clear :)

Project 1.


Storyboard

As noted I want to stay away from the damsel in distress type trope. Let's focus on things like main characters goals, and aspirations. I'm thinking the main character will be the cunning, suave, and intelligent type. You can compare the characteristics from Sora from No Game No Life, Light Yagami from Death Note, or Lelouch from Code Geass. One main detail about them that those don't generally have, is they will be more relaxed, and less motivated to do things for them self. The backstory I haven't created yet, so don't use any of that. Lastly, I don't know what gender I want to make the main character yet, but I'm leaning towards female.


The world type is swords, and magic. No guns.

A key function in the game will be equipment. A lot of stats will be based of equipment, and obtaining items from enemies will be the basis of upgrading weapons. (like obtaining magic ooze from a slime to upgrade your normal dagger, to a magic dagger, and so on.) I want this to be somewhat referenced in the story, and the main characters class type might be something like, "Poacher". Someone who goes out and collects the items for other people so they don't have to for their wares. The smithery will be where we go to smith weapons, and some more rare materials will be able to be traded at a special type of shop for better equips as well. Note that "Poaching" will be sort of looked down upon by the general denizens.


That's all the ideas I have, and everyone is free to make any adjustments to this base, or scrap it entirely in favor of other ideas. NO IDEA ISN'T WORTH MENTIONING! Thanks for the interest everyone. :D

How about crossbows, bows and arrows, scythes, war hammers etc...?

All of that stuff will be covered in the future. Weapons will have somewhat of a "Level" that you have to "poach" enemies for. The same rules apply to all of that as does the dagger, the dagger was just an example. So far I have four characters created.


Some other updates:

Magic - I intend for magic to work like a language. You speak it, and thinks happen that you intend. The more you know of the language, and the stronger your concentration as you speak it, the more powerful you are. Knowing either 1,000 words, or having unbreakable concentration would make you a master of magic in this world. No one has ever achieved both, and it's never been known if any master has known more than a few hundred words.



Lennessia Drist - The protagonist. Cunning, clever, and always calm. She doesn't what she wants when she wants to. Very hedonistic, and care-free. Some might call her unmotivated, and lazy.


Corvin Drist - Protagonists Younger brother. He's going to be the total opposite of his sister in most regard other than that he's very talented, just not as smart as his sister. He's going to be one of the people that think poaching is bad, and he would personally see it as a crime. He is a fresh graduate of the Temple of Yore, making his class Knight of Yore. He's the only character that won't upgrade his weapons like the rest, but his stat growth is higher to compensate. (Yore is a placeholder word for the language, which may change.)


Zie Grav - Marksman class; Relatively quiet companion of Banno Arze.

Banno Arze - Monk: A traditional happy go lucky type, but with an intimidating sense about him. Loves to gamble, and Competitive in nature, and long time companion of Zie Grav.



This is all I got so far, and no ideas for plot really. Got an idea or two for plot twists from the usual tropes, but I'm going to hold off until more ideas start coming in.
