So I'm planning an RPG game, and would like to get feedback on current ideas and would like some more ideas, story and sprites included.
1: 1v1 battles for the moment
2: water > fire > earth > wind > water elemental relationship, used for character attributes and spells
3: Equipment; body, feet, right hand, left hand
4: Stats; Hp, Mp, Str, Def, Agl, Int
5: Items; Potion, Ether, Elixer
6: Spells; Fire, Water, wind, earth; levelable, originally unlocked by storyline
7: Perhaps mental attributes; dark, light, psychic
Story: teenager gets sucked into a portal and wakes up in a world where willpower decides everything, attacked by monster but saved by unknown person.
Not sure what language i will be doing this in but will probably be basic/axe hybrid.
Also in need of an experience equation.
So tell me what you think! ;D
Edit: wow i got over 200 posts and i didn't notice
-
Ah, a classic RPG! I like it...
Mental attributes sound great. Maybe you could tie the storyline with that (meaning more of the story is revealed when the attribute changes), kind of like a stat.

:P
-
Wow, those are true...
-
first one ALWAYS reminds me of pokemon. ;)
-
That's funny, so I printed the whole thing. :P
-
/me will do that as soon as he gets to a working printer
-
It was only 16 pages in notepad, minus the credits. :P
-
The mad scientist who likes creating mutated creatures and powerful weapons 'cause it's fun (and also handy if uninvited adventurers show up.)
They just read my mind. (Go look at the IQ battle screenshots. Scientist + mutated creatures, one of which has a huge gun)
-
Lol i like No. 13
Thanks yunhua98 definitely will use some of these.
-
thanks, although I actually got it from FinaleTI, but I bookmarked it and pulled it up when I saw you were still thinking about ideas.
-
Im' still reading through this, No. 50 is my favorite so far.
Edit: nvm 54 is better
Edit 2: wow lots of these are final fantasy based

A new RPG sounds cool. Just make sure to not start way too large if it is your first RPG ever, though. Raylin got some good tips about making calc RPGs somewhere. Here is the topic: http://ourl.ca/6546

I like 174 and 184. 192 is also pretty funny. In fact, they are all so, so true.

Thanks DJ for the link, and i believe that this will be my first finished RPG, really hoping i can get this one done. Past experiences include a random text-rpg(lost), and the one i posted under ti-basic (hiatus?)

:o I've actually never read those. They are useful...
-
Yeah they are stickied under General calculator help (with the one by Nemo)
-
So I'm thinking instead of just the normal Weapon/armor only, maybe go with multiple slots? as in Head, Body, R.Hand, L.Hand and Feet. And a choice to use two weapons, a two-handed weapon, or a weapon and a shield, or possibly two shields for those who want to.
Edit: I think this is beginning to sound too much for a calculator.
-
That could work too. It would look more realistic too :D
-
If I'm going to do this, it's going to require lots of subprograms.
-
So it's mostly going to be in BASIC? Sounds great, though. It should be fast enough, unless you display each section of the character separately. Maybe you could store pics of certain combos and just display one sprite for the upper body and one for the lower body or something like that.
-
Well I don't know if it's going to be mostly in basic, but even if in Axe or ASM It would require an amazing amount of subroutines, which I'm not used to.
Edit: Oh and i haven't learned too much in ASM yet
-
You could use XCOPY ASM utility I used in Illusiat 13 and do an hybrid of Axe and BASIC, where a BASIC program runs the Axe sub-routines when needed. Most data could be stored in appvars. Anyway plan very well on paper before doing any coding, then work on the battle engine and game menu first so items/magics works.
-
I haven't gotten to Illusiat 13 could you explain what the XCOPY utility is and what it does?
-
You will need to check its readme for it (in the downloads section) but it copies archived programs to prgmXTEMP000 in RAM.
-
Huh sounds cool and useful.
-
yeah it is. This is why Illusiat 13 is only in 24 sub programs instead of 200 like Zelda Dark Link Quest. I just keep most stuff archived and only copy it to RAM when needed. Zelda used Flash gordon which did something similar but was much more limited (the program was copied on runtime instead of manually copied whenever you want) and I had to use another utility besides that that unarchived/archived stuff constantly, causing lots of Garbage Collections

Dang it! most of them match with my RPG project! :o
-
Keep in mind most of those are jokes, though, and must not necessarly be taken seriously. It's just in references to commercial RPGs that just attempts at being full copies of already existing ones with absolutely no change or when all RPGs in a serie are pretty much the same thing.
