Title: My Little RPG: Friendship is Magic
Post by: Freyaday on March 03, 2012, 08:28:31 pm
So, check it out: I am embarking on making an RPG, my first one, actually. 16x16 sprites, etc etc. T'will be a very pretty game.

Starring:

Twilight Sparkle as: The Black Mage
  Twilight has a remarkable repertory of offensive magic, and knows how to cure all status effects except Charm. She can trip up on the higher level magics, though, and doing so too many times will make her lose her sanity.

Applejack as: The Tank
  Applejack: Can take a load of damage, and deals a mean buck. But work her too hard, and she starts to suffer, getting worse as she goes on.

Rarity as: The White Mage
  A seamstress has to know how to repair things, and Rarity is no exception. She can't take a punch though, so keep an eye on her.

Rainbow Dash as: The semiFragile Speedster
  This prismatic pegasus zips in and out of the action, using the breaks to build up speed and power. Beware, though, as she can trip or crash, and her Atomic Rainnuke can harm the Mane Six.

Fluttershy as: The One Who Deals the Status Effects
  Fluttershy is the master of manipulation, using her abilities to mess with opponents heads. Her Stare paralyses them, her Charm changes their alignment, and she can do so much more. Beware, though, if she fails, Flutterrage overcomes her and she becomes Psychoshy, charging recklessly at the enemy, refusing to listen to you.

And

Pinkie Pie as: The One Who Hits People With the Fourth Wall
  Pinkie grabs the fourth wall and slams opponents into it at ludicrous speed. When your Morale gets low, she can raise it back up. But if she fails, you're picking up the pieces, as Pinkamena don't listen to nopony.



The Elements of Gameplay:
Morale:
  Your party Morale reflects how well you're doing. Do well, and everypony feels great. Getting thrashed? Your party ain't gonna feel so good. The more your Morale, the more effort the party puts into their attacks.
More Elements coming soon!

Sounds pretty good, I think the descriptions pretty much fits anyone. (Lol at Pinkie Pie's Fourth Wall. I bet she'll be the only one to be aware she's in a calculator, but nobody else cares...)

That topic makes my day. That will be epic lol. Just make sure to make it graphical, unlike that one other MLP-based game that someone was planning to work on on another forums last year. (It was all going to be menus)

Don't look me down, but I don't know yet Why MLP is so successful...
But good luck, a rpg is hard to do
Title: Re: My Little RPG: Friendship is Magic
Post by: Freyaday on March 24, 2012, 02:09:08 pm
It's successful because it's a good show.

I can't wait to see how it will look like in-game, such as the battle layout, overworld and menus. :)

As for the show it was originally aimed at kids (mainly girls), but for some reasons it got more popular amoung older guys. Although it's partly because of 4chan, there must be something inside the show that keeps older guys hooked to it. If it was just a meme and the show was actually bad, I doubt many people would plain go through the entire series like some people are doing right now.

It's a good show, that's why!
Anyway, I am working on a test animation, so keep your eyes peeled!
