[NATION RPG] -.-' Let me try this **** again

• Moppy wrote on 2011-08-16 04:32
  OK! I want to mess around with RPG Maker VX AGAIN!
  
  Around this time last year, I started working on a Nation RPG but I got nowhere with it.
  
  Here are the links to the old threads about it:
  General Thread
  Plot and Gameplay
  Characters
  Use the character generator to make your sprite or find a sprite from another game (i.e. a Pikachu). Please make multiple designs for me to choose. Also, have your character fit your role, don't give him an eye patch and cape for the hell of it.
  
  I want you guys to post all of the things you want in the game from plot, scripts, features, etc.
  
  Anyone can be in the game but ONLY STAFF MEMBERS WILL BE PLAYABLE .
  
  Do you want to be a shop keeper? Something else? Please tell me with some character background, attitude, etc.
  
  I'll edit this post with more stuff.
  
  [SIZE="3"]PLOT:[/SIZE]
  -Medieval fantasy settings
  -The staff members must unite to defeat Itchy.
  -Staff members will join and leave the party throughout the game (as they have with real Nation).
  -I may include Event Helpers but it will involve a side story in which some Event Helpers perish while the survivors join the staff.
  -Events from both Guru and Nation will be used to tell tales of our site's history.
  -However, I plan to set this after the creation of Nation so these events will not be proper to the time line.
  WHAT I NEED FROM YOU GUYS:
  -When in the Nation time line should it occur?
  -Pick some of the most memorable things that happened on Nation and Guru and try to incorporate that into the plot.
  
  [SIZE="3"]GAMEPLAY:[/SIZE]
  -It will be a turn based RPG
  -The battle system will be very similar to Earthbound (scrolling health)
  WHAT I NEED FROM YOU GUYS:
  -Don't really need much on general gameplay but any suggestions will be fine
  
  [SIZE="3"]CLASSES:[/SIZE]
  Intex: Spartan (Fast and high defense melee class that uses spears, uses shouts and cries for buffs)
  Baku: Paladin (A defensive melee class with healing and buffs)
  Joel: Priest (A healing class that uses both healing spells and offensive light spells)
  Skye: Bard (Fast support class with buffs, attack magic and healing magic)
  Chise: Wizard (High int and MP but low Speed)
  Maji: Alchemist (Very slow spellcaster with unique magic)
  Okami: Gunner (Fast and high damage class, low HP and defense, uses range)
  TA: Vampire (A defensive melee class that uses dark and debuff magic)
  Zeph: Cleric (A fast healing class)
  Tim:Cleric (A fast healing class)
  Kazuni: Berserker (A class that gets stronger and faster by losing more HP. Uses HP to use skills)
  Juno: Ranger (A range class that is also proficient in melee)
  Mop: Crusader (An offensive melee class that uses two handed weapons and light-based magic)
  Arsik: Holy/Dark Knight (Either a melee class specializing in offensive light magic and healing magic or a offensive melee class specializing in offensive dark magic and debuffs)
  Saffie:Witch (Fast spellcaster)
  Byte:Thief (A fast melee class that uses special items to debuff/damage enemies and support allies)
  Rain:Rogue (An upgrade to the Thief class that can use a bow or daggers.)
  WHAT I NEED FROM YOU GUYS:
  -Think of new classes
  -Discuss mine
  -Decide which class fits which staff member (though I do have some idea in my head already)
  
  [SIZE="3"]FEATURES:[/SIZE]
  -Day/Night cycle
  -Ability to make your dream team of staff members
  -I'd like to incorporate an "Avatar System" that is similar to titles in Mabinogi or Tales of Symphonia. It would change the character's portrait and also change stats. This will require actual programming. -.-'
  WHAT I NEED FROM YOU GUYS:
  -Find some scripts you want in the game from these sites: Here, here and here.
  -Discuss features you would like to see that aren't available on the sites I posted.
  -Do you want a skill tree or just level up to get skills?
  
  [SIZE="3"]I WOULD ALSO LIKE SOME HELP ON THIS![/SIZE]
  If you have one or more of these skills, please PM with a little resume with some examples of your work:
  -Art (especially character portraits and enemy design)
  -Programming (if you have experience with Ruby or scripting in RPG Maker)
  -Have used RPG Maker in the past (I'll need people who can make Events and more)
  -Compose or edit audio
  If you don't have those skills and still want to help, you can:
  -Want to design maps
  -Help with the story
  -Have other ideas you can help
  
  [SIZE="3"]CURRENT TEAM:[/SIZE]
  -Moppy: Programming and game design
  -Arsik: Game design and general ideas guy
  -Rain: Events, game design and writer
  -Isharo: General RPG Maker work

  The basic plot will be about the staff members defeating Itchy once and for all.

  
  
  I like this game already.
  If we want to change our character, can we?

  Can I play? I tried the generator and made a sprite.

  Do I still get to be a secret recruitable character in the game?
• Sapphireoath wrote on 2011-08-16 05:03
  The character overworld I made is still on that thread, it still is a Mage. If you have Magic items, I guess she could sell those or something...or be a part of a quest chain of some sort, say if you need to craft a Magic item for it...Has to be something revolving around Magic.

  Please feel free. You can use the generator, find another generator or I can use the smexier stock characters that come with RPG Maker VX.

  Witch/bard? :D
  I dunno. I like both classes, but a combination would be nice (bnice2megaiz).
  
  Ummmm, prolly can't contribute to the timeline/plot, because my memory sucks.
  Not gonna even look at scripts cuz it just hurts my head.
  A skill tree sounds fun.
  
  God, I'm like...useless.
• Claudia wrote on 2011-08-16 05:28
  I think the setting should be modern times!
  To be more precise, like today-ish, as in, after Guru, and after a year of Nation. The tone could be like "Well, now we're in a time of peace and we're successful, but let me just tell you about what happened back thennnnn...".
  
  Also, I call being a magic shop owner. If we're getting specific about magic types, anything that isn't white/summoning/yada yada. Preferably black/unique.
  
  Making a sprite, brb.
  
  This looks hella fun.

• Misaka wrote on 2011-08-16 05:33
  Oh yeah, I guess while I still can, I'd like to switch from a Mage to being a Gunner (if there are guns in the game, if not, would prefer to be a Thief).
  
  As for class suggestions, I'd suggest things such as :
  
  Maidens (Like Bards, except their buffs are stronger, as well as their healing. Balanced out by lower health and weaker spells).
  Tamer (Uses spells that summon their personal beasts to fight for them. Have high defense. Casts buffs on themselves that make their summons stronger).
