Disney RPG - With a huge twist

Archive: 32 posts


I'm a huge fan of Kingdom Hearts. I started a project on it, didn't turn out how I thought it would. I got a group of people and ordered them to make levels, and now I realise I was being a real jerk. We had no guidelines, I just told them to work. I promised them I'd revive the project for LBP2. Instead, I'm going to go ahead with a slightly different project. I'll offer them to help a bit, make a few characters if they want, but this is purely a solo project.

Setting

It's a Disney RPG. Not the kind of RPG with a top down screen, or turn based gameplay, but in the sense of doing challenges, exploring the world around you and progressing forward in the story. Most of you have probably seen Epic Mickey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Mickey). It has no relation to anything about it, but I have to give it credit for my inspiration. The world is made up of Kingdoms, sackboy, with no reason of actually getting there, explores the world, carries out tasks from various Disney characters.

Characters

I'm aiming at including every major (or minor) Disney character in history, old or new. Whether I include them in the overall story, just side missions or just for scenery is still undecided for each character. The sense of nostalgia and excitement will be immense, seeing all your favourite Disney characters work alongside you (or against you)

Story


Mickey Mouse is the king of Kingdom Disney. He's a very stubborn king, but with good reason. He has a secret. Various Disney villains have been blackmailed by Mickey to help him with a sinister plan.
Obviously, Mickey is the main villain, but this isn't stated in the first few chapters. In order to be given freedom from the castle, sackboy is given chores and challenges by Mickey. The villains acknowledge this and tell Mickey they should ask sackboy to join their team.
Mickey reveals his sinister plot to sackboy. They will kidnap and use the Disney princesses as captives. The princesses' kingdoms will fork out money to save them. Then Mickey and the villains will disappear with their new found riches. Sackboy declines their offer and escapes Disney Kingdom. He travels from kingdom to kingdom to assemble a team of Disney characters to overthrow the evil villains.


Story Arcs


Sackboy hears of the magical wizard Merlin. He sets out to find him to join his team.
Sackboy meets Peter Pan in the Neverland Kingdom. He is now an old man due to a machine constructed by the villains. Sackboy hunts down Captain Hook and retrieves the device. He sets it on reverse and cures Peter. As a reward, Peter joins the team.
Sackboy visits the 100 Acre Wood to find out what the creepy noises are. As sackboy finds out, Winnie the Pooh and his friends have turned into cannibals and try to kill sackboy. After some small talk to the animals, they tell him they have no choice as all the honey has been disappeared. Sackboy promises to find out more to help them. After following a path of honey, he discovers the Halloweentown residents have been stealing the honey to feed themselves. They explain that Oogie Boogie and the villains kicked them out of Halloweentown. Sackboy leads them back to Halloweentown to fight and take back the town (in a real revoulution type way).
The Villains send up a massive space shuttle to scan the location of sackboy, who is now wanted due to Mickey's trickery. With the help of Buzz Lightyear, sackboy is sent up to space to take down the machine.

This is pretty much what you'd expect from the main story missions. It's just a taster for what's to come!

Intriguing...

Well, too bad no Kingdom Hearts, but I suppose it would have been awkward to have done anyway...

So, would this be a platformer using the main engine? What about the party members, how exactly do they come into play?

Depends.

It'll just be a side scoller only multiple paths and adventure and stuff...

Party members, I dunno. My plan was when sackboy recruits them they all just meet up at Mickey's Castle in the end and help with the fighting.

Talbot, you little mindreader, you.

I was seriously planning a Disney RPG. Ah, well. How about I make a Star Command RTS, instead?

You've got a fantastic story going. I'd love to help out in any way that I can. But I don't want to intrude, you wanting this to be a solo project and all.

Please don't forget Frollo and the rest of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Please, any suggestions are welcome. Story ideas, characters etc

Seems like Olympus Colliseum would be a good place for sackboy to recruit some fighters.2010-07-23 19:26:00

I'd love for some story arc ideas. (The weirder, darker, scarier, funnier, magical-er, the better!) 2010-07-23 22:26:00

I got an idea.

When sackboy destroys the tracking device (during the buzz lightyear storyarc) He couldn't escape the explosion but somehow found himself on an overgrown, torn-up, space ship. It's only inhabitant, is a crazed Experiment 626, Stitch. Turns out, that someone had planted a device that emitted a horrible sound that irritated Stitch to the point of attacking anything that moved. Eventually, sackboy destroys the device and Stitch returns to normal.

The Lion King:

You go to the pridelands, only to find that Simba has become a tyrant king a'la Scar. Scar was overthrown, and somehow survived being eaten alive by the hyenas at the end of the movie- to become a Zombie.

Zombie Scar is bitter, and joined the villains to turn all of he Pridelands into a Zombie filled wasteland. You must fight him and his Zombie Hyenas...

While, at the same time, Simba has become a tyrant, and you must fight him too as he snuffs out all opposition to secure his place as King.

And Underland? (Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland)

It's totally fine if you end up not doing it... it's just that it'd be so freakin' awesome!

I can also imagine an epic battle with Dr. Facilier...

Dunno. I expect it to come in many chapters.

Thanks for all your stories guys. I'll refer back to this thread when LBP2 is out!

This is more of a random story arc, I have no idea where or if it would fit in...

Minnie, furious at Mickey's plot escapes to find Sackboy and join his crew of heros. Although Mickey sent Pete after Minnie and when he catches up to her, he traps in her in a well! Of course it's not an ordinary well but a portal to the Mississippi River! Haha you can come up with the rest!

I just figured what Disney RPG is it without Steamboat Willie!

Definately have to include that classic boat sequence. I know it will be pur awesomeness in LBP2!

I've also worked out a proper plot for it so forget about that "filler" of a story on the 1st post.

Now have a completely different story, which I think ticks all the boxes (seriousness and humour)

I won't post it here, because it's not finalised and I'm lazy.

Anyone who wants to help, even in the slightest way, whether it be stories or ideas or characters, is welcome to get in touch with me.

I gots an idea for Hercules:

With Hades gone and no one to monitor the Underworld, the tortured souls of the dead have broken free of their imprisonment, wreaking havoc amongst the mortal realm and the realm of the gods. All Hell has broken loose in Ancient Greece, turning the once prosperous area into a wasteland a-la God of War. And some souls, those of the most wicked and villainous figures of centuries past, have merged and manifested into a self-created deity, naming itself "Phantamos", god of terror.

Only Hermes, Panic and Panic remain of both the Olympians and those of the Underworld, now hiding in fear of Phantamos. Sackboy arrives just in time to save them from an ambush of Phantamos' minions. After saving them, they explain their tales of woe, albeit amongst some disagreement and bickering. They point out that all of the gods are dead, except for Hercules, who seems to have mysteriously gone missing since the events occurred. You and the trio go on a trek to find Hercules, fending off evil spirits and one of the Titans, turn corrupt by the new demigod.

Eventually, you find Hercules, now a bitter and mournful hermit, cursing to himself for the mistakes he's done. After fending off his attack (and calming him down), he explains that he fled in fear of Phantamos' power, failing his father Zeus and his friends. After some talking, you and the trio eventually encourage Hercules to take on Phantamos, then making your way into the Underworld. You confront Phantamos, and, after an exchange of blows, defeat him. You resurrect Hades and restore him to his throne, restoring balance to the Underworld.

Meh. Sounds lengthy, but I like the idea.

Oh, and make sure to throw in Balrog. Y'know, that one demon dude from Fantasia.

Go ahead, but please, don't make it a crap-bucket, in turn, disgracing the Disney name. You could easily make it amazing with LBP2's mechanics. So don't publish crap, Buddha knows that LBP2 doesn't need anymore crappy levels.2011-02-16 06:46:00

Of course, I need all the help I can get, especially with story arcs for different characters. I'll pass you a story summary whenever I can.

Thats a pretty cool story. Because I already have a plan for a Hercules place, I'll find a way to merge the two. Also, who's Balrog? You mean chernabog? If so, oh yes, he'll feature.

*cough* epic final boss *cough*

I am not that much of a great creator, however what the project will lack in visuals (dunno yet) it will excel in the experience. I want it literally packed with characters, references and that Disney charm. Also, with such a huge character roster I think it'll have that.

Also, Dr Faciller is definately going to feature heavily, I mean, we all want to see him in an epic boss battle don't we?

There is something I hope you include... Treasure Planet
Don't know how you'd use it, but I think it should be included.

Maybe not the story or world, but I'll definately squeeze some characters...

Just bumping to say that the project is still going despite inactivity in this thread.

Also, the story has been changed (again) considerably, and I'm now underway into the creating. Any ideas or whatever is welcome.

So this is inspired by Kingdom Hearts then? Im not really a fan of disney, but as the name suggest i do like RPG's. I dont really have any suggestions, i think it would be cool if you could fight along side disney characters--minus the constant annoying quacking of Donald Duck.

Well i check it out when its done, good luck
