Master Jc:
Fantasy & Fiction
(Yes, I know the screenshots say Fiction and Fantasy... shut up!)

Using RPGMaker 2000, I am creating an RPG (durr...) based on several of my stories that I have written in my spare time.  In this RPG, Joe (that's me) and his (talking?!?) cat, Chip, will be mysteriously transported into alternate worlds and meet up with friends from real life, as well as ones created in my fiction.  The game will be split up into four general areas, and the first area (pretty much meaning the first story that is covered) will be the demo area.  The graphics are cool, the storyline (if you'd like to see it, I'll post it) is decent, and of course, there's a lot of humor in it, especially the towns, which are all named after writing styles.  (Right now I'm working on the first town, called Humor.  There's also going to be a self-help town called Town for Dummies.)

I have 3 current screenshots, and they are subject to change, so don't expect too much.






And of course, the story.  I'll label it as a spoiler in case you don't want to see it.

Joe (me) is a writer. One day, he blacks out for no particular reason. He and his (talking?) cat find themselves in a strange world full of monsters. Joe soon finds out that he has been somehow transported into a world along with characters from a story he once wrote (in real life, too, but I haven't finished it). He meets a girl who he had "created" and has to apologize for what his character did to her. But when Joe takes her to school, he finds out that another of his characters is not happy to be separated from his friends and family and displays his disgust with his writer and the misfortune that this writer has put him through quite... angrily. Only Joe's friends, old and new, can save him and his attacker. One of my friends from real life is also playable in this part.

A cinema scene will show select parts of the story, including the fatal shot.

After this part is done, I'll release a demo, BTW.

Joe then blacks out quite randomly again, and finds himself in a prison cell. He somehow was captured by a sinister demon named NightWing (NOT the Batman guy). We cut to LightWing and his team, who recieve a message from an angel to rescue a boy and his cat from a demon. They set out, but LightWing finds himself growing more and more violent, and he runs off in remorse. He encounters his inner demons and returns to the team just in time to fight NightWing, who has a few surprising things to reveal to the holy hero. Joe has a conversation with his hero self and explains who he is and why he (and LW's team) are there. He instills some much-needed confidence in his alternate self and... guess what? Blacks out again!

There will be a cinema scene here showing one of LW's most pivotal battles here. Mock battle included!

Joe wakes up alone without his cat this time, but with his friend (the girl from the first part). He is approached by a character from his first story ever, a green-haired "elf"-girl named Esther. (Her alternate form was the girl from the first part. I made the other one a spin-off of my first one.) This Esther, however, plays a much different role: she is Joe's fiance

DJ Omnimaga:
thats awesome stuff, I hope to see it finished soon to play it. :D

Does this will require insane computer performance? I have a pentium II 350 MHz with 256 MB of RAM and a 8 MB GFX card, should it run on it?

crzyrbl:
what's with the text? some times teh letters are too far apart, and in the "why" the h is in the w...

DJ Omnimaga:
that happens in Reign of Legends 3 as well, I think its because some letters in RPG maker had been poorly made upon the english translation (I think it was japanneese before) and they arent centered, like on computers

Master Jc:
Yeah, RPG Maker does that, unfortunately.  It was translated from Japanese.  What do you mean by ROL like that? Did someone/you port it to PC?

As for system requirements... I'm not too sure what they are... I tried looking them up but I couldn't find anything, so I would check a site like http://www.gamingw.net and just try a random game.  I'd say it should work, considering the crap-junk built into my PC.
