3 Games

[jalm94]

Quite a few games I'm making here. BTW, I put the names of the resources I need at the end of each descrip. Now that I have a BASIC understanding of what people expect, these should be at least acceptable.

Harvest Sun: Untold Stories

A dedication to Harvest Moon. w00t.

Story: (Taken from intro)Harvest Moon... the story of a boy becoming a great farmer after inheriting a farm. But what was the REAL story? Harvest Moon took place a long time ago, so many things were lost from this legend, such as the mysterious S.A.T.T.E.L.L.I.T.E.s and the Sun Goddess. This is the real story. (I know it sucks, but hey, HM didn't have a real story either did it?)

Charas:
Jack.....Do I really need to go any further?

Features:
*Raise the mysterious S.A.T.T.E.L.L.I.T.E.s (stands for Shaman Animals That Transform Extremely Legendary Into Titan Enforcers.....Bite me. I could've called them just "Pets" but where's the originality in that?)
*Why just be a farmer? Why not be a entrepenuer, a doctor, a hunter and even a lawyer! And alot more!
*Still enforces many of the things from Harvest Moon (Marriage, Farming, House Upgrades, Bla bla bla..)
*Go into tournaments to battle your shaman animals as a violent way of gambling!
*HUGE world
*A few different modes, Classic (Like Mineral town with infinite time) Story mode, (5 years, with conflict etc. and endings) and a variety of secret modes that can be unlocked in both classic and Story.

A bit about the shaman animals...:A while ago, many pets were replaced by large golems, ghosts, dragons and even mechs!? Anyways, they were hunted down, but after a while, they changed back into animals with human witnesses. After they changed again, people realised their pets had the ability to transform into powerful monsters. They also had many of the same attributes of their pet forms, so if they liked to sleep on your bed, they did... But they were usually hit for that. A group of kids decided to take advantage of this and battled each other. This soon became a sport among not only children, but adults too. Also, if you can recognise any of the trans forms...... I DIDN'T DO IT!!!!

P.S. I NEED SPRITES OF A SUN GODDESS...AND ANY GIRLS YOU THINK THAT JACK SHOULD BE ABLE TO HIT ON... AND FACESETS IF YOU CAN GET THEM. ALSO A FACE SET OF JACK.
Thx!

Timecraft (or Tempuscraft..whichever seems good ^_^)

Story: (If you can recognise the thing I based this on, I'll give you a cookie...And it isn't exactly copying..It's from a different perspective m'kay?.) The year is 3981. Many years ago, in the 1960s, an object was found, simply called the Fata Morgana. Recent studies indicated that it was a transport device. It had successfully transported a Robotic Dog from one science lab to the other... But could it teleport a living thing? They tried to teleport a rat (ANIMAL CRUELTY!!), but alas... Something happend. No one remembers, but that seemingly harmless experiment not only teleported the rat, but 1000 sq miles of earth with it, or 3/4 of earth to a distant galaxy. The survivors of the teleportation now face violent horrors, but what of earth? The remaining earthlings had to flee earth on escape shuttles as earth was destroying itself. Colonizing planets was easy, but wars over the remaining resources were constant, and proper weapons were rare. However, one of the 4 warring armies had an advantage: The Templus Mages. They had the ability to stop, speed or slow time, but no mage was strong to rewind time. Then, an object found, similar to the Fata Morgana's properties were found on Venus. After a raid by the Time Mages, Pvt. Warren of the Third Sphere is teleported by the object. When he realizes it was actually a Time Device, he is sent on a journey: Stop the world's destruction or Rule it?

Features:
*All Roco Faces except for certain NPCs.....w00t!
*Cruise through REAL events including:
The Black Death
WW2
The Three Kingdoms
Civil War
Fantasy events by me.... Also, if you think there should be famous events that should be included, just say so.
*ALTER REAL EVENTS. Think that Hitler should've won the war? See what happens. Think that Racism should've stopped before the Civil War? Watch what happens.
*Good-Evil thing. Grow evil, people will cower. Grow good, people will cheer on your name as "The Hero of Time"
*Romance Feature

Birthdate: 3957, December 11

Need: FANCY WRITING for my title on this thing:
I would've done it myself, but I don't have fancy fonts... And I can't find any. Also, THE ART IS NOT MINE. I found it in the Resouces forum... It's by Shinto. Thx.

Super Smash Armageddon

Story:... I haven't really developed this yet.(HELP NEEDED) Anyways it's like this, You're Brian (it's actually Reid from Tales of Eternia but...), a simple mercenary. Make an army of Super Smash mercenaries (INCLUDES ALOT OF CAMEOS) and grow your army. Good generous leader? Or evil dictator? Protector of Super Smash World? Or ruler? Defend cities from bandits, give charity to the people and banish evil from earth? or become a theif, pillage countless people, and destroy all who even cast a sideways glance at you? The possibilities are ENDLESS....BTW, THE GAME IS HUGE.

Features:

*Fire Emblem/Advance Wars style gameplay (thx everyone who helped with it!)
*100+ Classes... Don't believe me? I'll show it to you, but you got to make a Job Tree for me X_X
*600+ spells and skills (At LEAST 5 original spells/skills for all characters so...)
*200+ Monsters
*100+ Mercenaries
*Real reactions
*At least 300+ hours of gameplay
*TONS OF CAMEOS
*Territory Mode, a feature that I SUPPOSE is original.... Make your own towns, and expect it to be attacked when you least expect it!

What I need:...I'm not even gonna bother, other than asking for cameos YOU WANT in this... And provide any resources if you can. I only use others' resources.. I SUCK at paint.

...Cause I'm doing it all at once, this might take a while...

HSUT:ll-------- 20%
SSA: _--------- 5%
TC: l--------- 10%

If you're gonna say that the amount of (insert name here) is outrageous.......I know ^_^
If you are going to critisize, PM.
If you are going to give anything that can help, post.

Thx! :p

You're never going to be able to finish 3 games like this. I don't really think you're crazy by trying this, just stupid. I'm not saying this to bash you, rather, if you want to finish a game, pick one, and only one game to work on.

The first and the third games don't sound too good, there is no plot, and they don't sound too fun to play. In an rm2k3 game, you pretty much NEED a plot in order to make a game fun. There are other ways to make a game fun, but usually that requires fun minigames and such which I don't think your are really capable of yet.

The second game seems like it has some potential, If I were you, I'd focus on just that one, and try to make that one the best that you can.

If you want to work on all three of these games, pick ONE to work at, once you're done with that one, start planning the next one, but don't plan 3 games at once, you're just setting yourself up for faluir.

[jalm94]

Hmm... I see...Well I don't have much of a life anyways. I'll do them all THEN see. Both of them HAVE plots, one will be seen when you play it and the other... I haven't figured it out yet. I'm trying to AVOID cliches...All I can think of are cliches...And the second one(tempuscraft) is RM2k cause it took me 4 hours to find charsets to fit the roco facesets...I suck at paint, and all and every form of art... If it took me 4 hours to find charsets, battle charsets would've taken ALOT longer... and a bunch of sites said that 2k was better, because "of an unattractive side-view. Stay away." so go figure...I could use your soon-to-be-out CBS and hope it's 2k compatible, but that might take a long, long time... And I don't even know if it's 2k-friendly, but I could just transport it to the 2k3. Which should I do?

A good game takes about two years to make on your own. If you start programming your own mini-games, or doing any 'extra' stuff, it'll take longer to make a decent legnth game.

If you're trying to make 3 games at once, thats 6 years... minimum.


And my cbs is only compatable with rm2k3. It uses a lot of pictures, rm2k only allows 20 pictures while rm2k3 allows 50. Bu my cbs (like rm2k3's battle system) is a side view battle system, well you can easily make it a front view battle system, but either way, you'll still need battle graphics for it.

[jalm94]

2 years each? I waste my whole time on this, (I'm bored...) so it should be 1 or 1 1/2 each. Well, at least it'll give me something to do...So is that a yes with the RM 2k/3 or not?

[aboutasoandthis]

I'm not really sure if I should agree with DragonBlaze about the time thing. My game has had years of thought behind it (since it was deleted over and over), but I've only worked on this version for the summer and it has come farther than most RM games.

Actually DragonBlaze, do you have any past projects left on the internet? I wanna play em!

I do kind of agree with DB about sticking to one game. That is...if you are aiming to finish these games and you want as many people as possible playing them, you'd want to stick with one. If you're doing it for fun and for the helluvit like me, do whatever you want. It's you're time. We're not the ones making the game.

[EXO Muffin]

For the Harvest Moon game:

I seriously think that you should be able to slaughter animals.
And feed yourself their flesh.
This applies to the humans.
And you should be able to feed cows beef, feed pigs pork, and so on.

Also, make it so you can fall in love and marry anything. Like a vegetable, a cow, a guy, or yourself. That would be pretty funny.

"Priest: And do you, Jack, take corn, as your lawfully wedded wife?"

"Jack: I do!"

"Priest: I now pronounce you man and vegetable."

"Priest: You may kiss the bride."

"Jack: I love you, corn!" *makes out with corn*

Mmm...corn.

[drenrin2120]

Yeah, my game has been going a year now, and the intro is still undecided. So, is this attention to detail, over analysis, or pure laziness? You choose. Either way, I agree with About.

[Meiscool-2]

My intro still isn't made either.

If you want a game that people will play, just make one and give it your full attention. If you're doing this just for fun, then make the 3 and do what you want. If we won't ever play it, then the quality of the game doesn't matter, so long as you have fun making it.

[I Have a Sandwich]

I don't think any of the three would be worth making. 2 are fan games and one just seems dumb. Come up with a single great idea, instead of 3 sub mediocre ones.

[EXO Muffin]

Combine them. Like, have the 2nd game's story with Harvest Moon gameplay mixed in, with a Super Smash tournament somewhere.

Well the amount of time it takes to make a game varies on how long the game is, how long people spend on making areas, and how much time they have to work on it. Two years was kinda a guess, but my point is that games take a long time to make, and 3 games would take three times that long.

As for past projects... I might have one somewhere called "The eternal blaze", the original server I uploaded it to died, but it around somewhere. And I think I found a place where my old demo is hosted. But err, lets not talk about that here.

Mmm...corn.

O_o...As much as I'd love to see that, it just...Well anyways, I'll do the combine game thing, but i need to know this: Make an RM2K3 game or screw all this cause I got all the time in the world (I dunno why other people rush..) and make my own CBS?...I'll just bookstudy from GW and here in the tut forum. I suck at pictures, but  I could just download a better paint thing off the internet like GIMP.

[jalm94]

Hmm... Okay, from looking at all tutorials, I think I'll screw this, and make 3 games anyways. Why? Because I'll make SSA into a Platformer...looking-thing. It'll have (I hope..) 2 player capacities including 2-player Co-op and 2-player Conquest... It'll adopt the look of a mario thing... Anyways, 2 player coop is basicly putting 2 different allied units on a strategic field with each of them having to fight their way to complete objectives. Instead of setting off the DBS when 2 units collide like I planned, it'll set off a SSB-style thing. Conquest will have 2-4 opposing forces waging war for world-domination. I plan on doing other things...Which will hopefully increase gameplay value.


BTW sorry for the double... AND I STILL GOTTA GET THAT STUFF.
