LBPC- The RPG?

Archive: 76 posts


THE POLL IS CLOSED! ... how might I change that?

Well, I have RPG Maker on my computer, and reading Forsaken's story about this site (Courtroom Justice, you know that one), I began thinking about making an RPG dedicated to this site using RPGMaker XP.

Now, I have some experience fooling around with it trying to make a game, but haven't actually made one yet. And my attention span may be too short, but having people here depending on this in some way may make me go on and finish it.

However, I haven't actually started this yet, aside from making the game folder, erasing all previous stats items and the like, and renaming KO as ban- and I don't intend to actually start this by myself.

I can't really do this by myself, because my sense of humor is... odd, shall we say, and may be unfair, plus I need other people to tell me what to do since this should be OUR project.

So, anyway, I need help, some ideas from you guys on a basic story, who the playable characters would be (no more then 8 max), what everyone wants to be personified in this as, ect. I'll try to make as much of it happen as possible.

My basic plan so far consists of two known playable character ideas- Marino as a Pirate, and Aeroblue as a Killer Robot from the future or something- and the story of them living in the city of LBPC, and eventually having to storm the castle and fight lbp and Cartman or something. But that's my current idea; I would like some help there.

Also, for those who will most likely not be playable characters (myself included), what THEY would like to be- like I am thinking of Reshin being some old guy who doesn't talk much throughout the game, and MuttJones being in charge of some Archeological dig. Others can weigh in, too.

Also, enemy ideas- I need some basic enemies, like I was thinking of whatever a Noonian is could be a standard enemy, or something like that.

So... yeah. I want your guys input on this. anyone interested in this, and want to give me ideas and thoughts along the way?

Also, RPG Maker files only work on PCs, so sorry for you Mac/whatever users. .

One final note- I can use whatever image I want for the title screen/ game over slides, so if anyone wants to draw something for that in a rectanglular format and give it to me, that would be nice.

Anyway, any thoughts? Input? anything?

You mean the fantasy one I just made, or the pirate one?

Nah, I want to make one just... about this board. Not placing us in roles other then what we are on this.

Like I was thinking of One city called LBPC, and other dungeons around it and stuff. It would be a mix of things of whatnot.

Yep.

Yeah, well I'm not making a LOTR game. I'm making one of these forums.

Sorry, but I won't make this into that. It HAS to be out there, making fun of us, the like. Not LOTR. Sorry. Plus The arrow parts... eh, not to sure if I could make that different without scripting.

Anyway, do you have ideas for the game? Like what you want your character to be? anyone else?

... Well, anyway, here (http://charas-project.net/charas2/index.php). This is a character sprite generator, although it's not the best quality sprite, it's very easy and quite vast.

So, make a sprite of yourself there if you like, and upload it to imageshack or something so I can more asily put YOUR customized thing in the game.

If people are interested, anyway.

Umm, I was serious? You said "others can weigh in too" I was just using that as a way to tell you that I want to have a Whale character?

"Weigh in too"

"Whale"

I thought it was funny Sniff sniff...

But seriously, if you can make my character a whale that would be great...

I wouldn't have it any other way then you being a Whale.

However, considering how hard it may be to get a Whale sprite working plus it being too big, would you be ok with being a boss?

I'd need a picture of a whale on a blank background of a single color for the battle sprite...

(for those who don't know, RPG Maker games are kind of like Earthbound, I mean the built in battle system- though scripts can do a bunch of other stuff).

I think there should be one playable character who is not a real member of the forums.
I was thinking that you could have a separate land/level thing for each section of the forums. The look, feel, enemies, bosses etc. all have something to do with that specific section (eg. artwork and design would be really arty and all the artist members would be here).

NOTE: My story is not aiming to be rude to people, I am just poking fun at them and in turn they can do the same for me.

The story could be: You are a lint having just signed up to the forums. You enter, expecting this to be a nice fun light hearted place but upon arriving you realise something is not right.
It is a dark dreary place where the members are sad and depressed. They have very little to eat or drink. Some are living out in the streets or begging for money and food from rich people passing by (guests of the forums).
You look around the town (forum section) and eventually discover what is the reason for this.
An old man (Reshin) tells you that there once was a time where this place was happy and cheerful. The land was prosperous and members were joyous and thanking of their King (Admin) lbp. The old man tells you that a Dark Lord came once and took King lbp's throne. This dark lord (confusedcartman) has then been slowly killing the world with his dark magic ever since.
You take it upon yourself to rid the land of CC's tyranny and you begin your quest to save the world.

Each section of the forums is a land you must travel across. you will have to do tasks to get past obstacles. Maybe helping members with small quests so that they will help you.
The major boss for each land will be a mod with the final boss being CC. Minor bosses should be through each land. They could be notable members of the forums.
You should also meet many non-playable characters who are notable members. They can help you and you can help them.
The currency should be XP which you get from killing enemies (members that CC has brainwashed) and doing tasks. With XP you can buy weapons, armour, tools etc.

I really love this idea Rocky! Sadly I have a Mac so I could never play it but I would love to help you with planning, storyline, characters etc.

This should really be in the projects section.

cheers,

mutt

PS. this is looking to be majorly epic

Love the story!

I was thinking of LBE being the currency, considering all I would have to do is change the name of it in the system part.

Under that thing though, it seems like my original idea (mods) for playable characters should be scrapped...

Though that may make sense, since they ARE the underlings of the "evil" CC.

Anywayz, should all the playable characters be made-up, or what?

Also, considering I never completed a game before, this may be short, though I can't really promise anything- haven't started yet.

But I like different forums being levels, but... hm. I need ideas on what each forum is, what it would look like, who is IN the forum, ect.

Anyway, thanks muttjones- yeah, I'd be glad to have you help (well, EVERYONE can), even though you may never be able to play it... unless you get a PC or that bootcamp software or whatnot Apple released... but yeah, that's ok.

Any ideas on the layout of the forums? And on if the party members should be made up or have some real people from here?

And bosses? Like, Marino needs to be the boss of Ideas, probably... Hm, I need input!

Just one twist to the storyline:

Have some evil magic cause the transformation from the ConfusedCartman of old, a loyal member and a vanguard for the Cause, to his Dark Lord state, by which he began to slowly twist the forums and its members. (The reason is because Cartman being Dark Lord, even with all the suspended disbelief of the story, just the way he is...doesn't seem to fit. The "twisted" storyline adds some extra story depth, even if slightly generic depth, as well as provides a bit better reasoning for the current state of things.)

All in favor of me being that evil mage, and the final battle being against me with my battler graphic being that Planters Peanut guy, say I.

Hm... and those active on that board can choose to be bosses there?

And then we need some members to just be regular citizens in the city...

So, mod bosses should be...

Marino
Code
Aeroblue
Quozl

bbroman is kinda gone for some reason, so unless he is the boss of the Archives, which could be a hidden dungeon...

Ok, I suppose you COULD be the boss of General Chat...

We need to iron out what forums are what, though.

Marino- Ideas/ Projects (Deciding this for him )
Code- General Chat/ General Video Game Chat? (should toss these together)

And now you two, aeroblue and quozl... Also, people who are bosses have the honor of choosing a boss theme. It could be anything, just remember it's a battle theme. And it needs to be somewhere I can download it so I can import it into the game.

You might want to scroll through the first couple pages of this (http://www.lbpcentral.com/forums/xperience.php) for some inspiration of the mini-bosses. And they could be ranked subjectively in their strength. Again, I'm thinking of these as mixed in among the standard members, with higher stats and a bit more outstanding experience. (You could also put some random member names on some of the more generic members, as well, although that might be raising the difficulty of production more than it needs be.)

Also, is the choice of which forum to clear/enter going to be up to the player, with some sort of hub connecting them? Or will it be linear?

Not necessarily. Typically, with games of this type it may start out strong, but after a spurt of activity, the will to finish it all dies, and then it languishes in talking, and finally fades into the background, and nobody even notices until a few months later until one person makes a post in the topic, saying, "Hey, what happened to this?" and then people reply, "Oh, we gave up," and then it fades into nonexistence entirely, except for one instance later on, either in an IM session or a frequently-posted-in chat topic, where someone makes a passing comment on "that RPG that was being made about the forum" which gets mostly ignored.

Wall o' text AND a massive run-on! See that? Combined!

No, LBM will NOT be the main villian.

Should Cartman just be the main villian, or should I, the pure essence of Evil, be the main villian? Or do you want LBM to be? o_0

...How did I NOT see this thread. I had to bump it.

You know, I have huge experience with RPGMaker. Heck, I've used most RPGMaker programs. I've designed a few games for a few sites. (They were indeed successful) I'm not a scripter though.
Though, don't look at me for designing a game for this site any time soon <_< I'm stuck with making one for another forum. Rock's your guy for now.

But Rock, if you need help, like seriously, I would gladly help. The RPGMaker program is right there in front of me.

Ah great, you forced me.

As per usual, my short attention span caught up with me. So yeah, I never actually started this when I found how how hard it was to get Marino's Charas Project sprite into RPGMaker just right and couldn't figure out how to and there were no tutorials for that, plus kind of lack of interest in a way, and the prospect of battle images or whatever.

So yeah, at the moment I haven't really done this, but I guess I could start it if someone can help me with the Charas Project thingies. >_>

Dude, take your time >_> Honestly it takes dozens of weeks if not months if you want to make an ACTUAL game...xD

Haha, and yeah that's the problem with RPGMaker...No tutorials. Hell at its finest.


If I ever make a RPG game for this forum, it'll be in like 6 months xD It's just depressing at times.

I think every idea has a chance... i mean any RPG game is amazing.... and i think rock has a very open mind to make somthing like this

Thank you, snrm, for doing that for me.

Now then, onto business- I have started redoing this, only with RPG Maker 2000 this time. It has a load of custom grahics that came with it, so I already see a few for several people.

However, in this version I can easily change the names of several things, i.e. magic to whatever, and *character* ran away.

I have obviously done a few things already, like change money to LBExp, and change new game to register and load game to Log in- however, a few are more tricky.

Also, currently the main character is Killer006 - anyone have a better name for a new person who joins (I believe I'm using MuttJone's story)?

Anyway, several things I need input on changing the name of:

Start battle.
Like *your Party* enters battle!
What would be a good thing for it to say when it initiates a battle?

Prememptive Attack
Escape Success
Failure to escape
Victory
Having everyone be killed
This one is currently Your party has been banned...
When you win an item from a battle
When one of your characters attacks the enemy
Critical Hits, both ally and enemy
When someone defends
Watch State- When an ally or Character doesn't do anything that turn
Storing Strength, as for a super attack next turn
Running, both ally and enemy
When an enemy or ally loses HP
When an enemy or ally uses an item

Ok, getting tired yet? I'll do some basic stats now:

Level
HP
MP
MP COST
Strength
Defense
Mind
Agility
Armor, Weapon, Item Group names

Yep, that seems like enough for now. I need anyone's ideas for what any of those should be called, due to this being a parody of a forum as opposed to a serious game. So, we need stuff that would make sense in a forum point of view.

For example, a New Game is Register, to load a game is Log In, to end game is Log Off, and so on.

Anyway, anyone have any ideas?

Also, as for the party- the main character should be renamed, or is Killer006 ok? and what about the other party members?

Yep.

My suggestions:

Start battle. A member has appeared!
Prememptive Attack
Escape Success You've escaped!
Failure to escape Trapped
Victory Epic Win!
Having everyone be killed Banned
When you win an item from a battle Item Acquired!
When one of your characters attacks the enemy ---- has attacked!
Critical Hits, both ally and enemy Pwnage!
When someone defends Ignored!
Watch State- When an ally or Character doesn't do anything that turn --- did not do anything!

My suggestions:

Start battle. A member has appeared!
Prememptive Attack
Escape Success You've escaped!
Failure to escape Trapped
Victory Epic Win!
Having everyone be killed Banned
When you win an item from a battle Item Acquired!
When one of your characters attacks the enemy ---- has attacked!
Critical Hits, both ally and enemy Pwnage!
When someone defends Ignored!
Watch State- When an ally or Character doesn't do anything that turn --- did not do anything!
Storing Strength, as for a super attack next turn Charging
Running, both ally and enemy :/
When an enemy or ally loses HP ---- lost health.
When an enemy or ally uses an item ---- was used by ----

For now, I have decided to use these.

In other news, I started a blog for this in case you want to check that out, and created a group for anyone who wants to help in any way.

I also pmed lbp to see what he thinks of this, so... yeah.

I really don't see why you chose to use RPGMaker 2000, just because it's
'simpler'(It's not in many ways). RPGMaker XP is better in every way.
There are so many things you can do with RPGMXP
Like for example, look what I did once with a battle system once.
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x95/Forsaken-Shadow/Magic.jpg

Contrary to the old one.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/RpgDynastyOnline/trap17screen.jpg

I can also add stuff like flying machines, a ship, an overworld, (like in Final Fantasy), in-depth customizable weapons....And a lot more.

Well, can't say I'm not surprised.<_<
Is there any real reason why you changed program?


And also, to answer your PM. (I was hardly on yesterday)
Of COURSE the sprite Marino made won't work. Not only are the dimensions wrong, but sprites need to be like this to work:
http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x95/Forsaken-Shadow/004-Fighter04.png

4x4; First 4 facing down; Second line needs to face left...etc.

Don't bother making sprites honestly. You can find a big amount of sprites online.



For example, a New Game is Register, to load a game is Log In, to end game is Log Off, and so on.

Anyway, anyone have any ideas?

Also, as for the party- the main character should be renamed, or is Killer006 ok? and what about the other party members?

Yep.

Just like you said, New Game should replace Register; Load Game should replace Log In; And 'End Game' replacing log off. Easy.
Even if it's a parody, it needs a shred of intelligence.


By the way, How long are you planning your game to be?

I have decided to do LBPC: The RPG in RPG Maker XP after all.

I have already changed the code so that New Game, Load Game, and End Game are Register, Log in and Log Out respectivally ( The was easy enough, they were just strings really so I just changed what the strings said).

And then, I made it so you can choose your character's name at the beginning when you register, so the main character's default is Killer006 but you can make it whatever- just remember that most of the active people here will be in this in some form, so it may be confusing if you name him after yourself.

Which reminds me- I need people's input on what they want to be in game. The Mods and CC will be the main villians (but you all know I love ya ), and the main character will be a new register, an OC.

So, who here wants to be what? The Mods WILL be the main enemies, no question there- I was thinking of LBM being the annoying semi-villian who follows you around and fights you in those annoying battles over and over, and... yeah.

And then for the main characters, should everyone but Killer006 be actual members here, or should they all be made up? If they are actual members, who should they be?

I NEEDZ ANSWERZ!

... Yeah. Anyone want to chime in? I'm open to suggestions.

EDIT: Mods, and other potential bosses, I need your input on what you want your battle music to be- I already have Code's battle Music in game that he chose, so everyone else, fell free to.

Just remember it's boss music, so pick something appropiate for a battle, ok?

LBM needs to be the huge comic relief, the bum-villain that doesn't know what he's doing >_> I'm serious D:


I think the playable characters should be members. It would just be cooler >_> And also, as long as you don't pick yourself as the playable characters. xD
Maybe some nominations and votes should be made for this?
Of course, it's just one opinion.


By the way, if you need sprites for the game, I can get you a big amount of them <_<

Well, duh, LBM will be the Bum villian. He will probably be the first, tutorial battle, once you get out of registration and into the Introduce YourSelves forum ( The general Stuff Sub Forum is probably going to be the City).

As for playable members, the main character will be an OC, but all the other characters will probably be real members here.

And no, I won't make myself a playable character, wouldn't dream of it. I was actually thinking of making myself a hidden boss- my battle sprite will be the Planter's Peanut (what else for me >_<?) and stuff.

As for sprites, I already have a large collection of home made sprites ( I downloaded the LOSResources, so I have a bunch of everything- I'll have you be able to choose your window screen (under the pretense of "customizing your profile) and everything).

But I wouldn't mind more sprites- it will be hard for me to use what sprites I currently have for EVERYONE.

Of course. As I said in the group, such elementary RPG concepts are built into the program. All I will have to do is tweak the rate of how they rise...

RPG Maker is, really, such a simplified game maker, especially once you see all that has to go into ACTUAL programming.

Do you know Earthbound or the Old Dragon Quest games?

It's essientally that battle system, unless you use scripts, which I'm nowhere near capable of doing.

This is a basic idea of how the standard battle system works, with some other guy's custom things.

Well adding scripts to your game is easy. Making scripts is the hard part.
It's truly amazing what you can do with a program such as RPGMaker XP.

Well, I added a poll to see what people thought about other playable characters, and tried to add in as many good users as I could, so... yeah.

>_< It's kinda hard for me to decide who is worthy and who isn't...

lol >_>

Well he'll probably add you in the game But the poll is for Playable characters.
I think the other members should be big enemies, random ones, or Story/Random characters in the game. :3

This is a LBPC RPG. Not a MGS RPG.

Umm... I'm now up for the possibility of being a playable character?

And you were able to get through five pages without me noticing? >_>
Either I'm losing it, or you're proving my theories of your sanity to be correct, and I honestly can't decide which.

I'd be happy to write out a story for you, but then it would be infused with my thoughts of craziness that I don't think mankind should bear witness to.
Plus, you seem satisfied with Muttjones' input. =P

I needed someone else who I thought might be good >_>.

A Grim Reaper character might be cool if I can find a sprite- or maybe I could use theArmedReaper. >_>

And yeah, I'm pretty much going with muttjones story >_<.

and no, don't kid yourself int thinking I'm sane.

Wouldn't you still need a sprite for theArmedReaper? =/
Oh, and choosing me is a bad choice, since I won't accept my involvement in your game unless my character is spot-on, which is something that I myself can't do. >_>

Psht, you think you're not sane?
I chuckle, I laugh, I mock.

Lyk, cerealy.

Frankly, I like the old idea of the player being a new Lint member, rather than an established one. It helps the story be more involved, I think. Instead, I think the poll should be changed to the mentor. The person who was there in the golden age, witnessed the hostile takeover, and stood his ground against the tyranny, but was banned. The player comes across this person in the outside Internet, and decides to become the champion of the cause to restore LBPC. This banned member walks you through the basics (ye olde tutorial) and gives you your first equipment as you step into the forum. This would then be your outside contact for most of the game. And possibly, having defeated the mods and preparing for the final Admin, could be unbanned and become part of the party to defeat the despotic ruler.

The player starting Lint allows for more roleplaying leveling-up, because a classic member would already be at a high level. Rather than classic "you start at level 1" advancement.

I have the final say as always, so start as Lint. :arg:

Make Clank unlockable though, so you can play as a Spambot.

clank is definintally a playable character. I have his entire story planned out.

As for the elder person who guides you through the game- that will be Reshin. Course, he'll be the stereotypical old person with "back in my day" statements.

I also have the five people who I think will be playable characters (yes, five- )

OC (Killer006 (Can rename))
muttjones
Stix
Uk's Finest Hero
Clank

I also have a few other roles planned out, like Slapp-Me-Do will be the mini game guy and Rainfire will always follow him (gold arcade champ refrence).

So... yeah, hopefully I can find an Indiana Jone sprite for muttjones... and whatever for Stix and Hero. Do you two have any idea how you want to be represented (Clank has no choice- I have his sprite, and mutt will only have a choice if I somehow don't get an Indy sprite).

So... yep. Oh, and marino, no offense, but your battle theme was too stupid. So now it's Pirates of the Caribean's He's a Pirate. I won't make it Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me >_>.
