Age of war: My massive rpg game

Archive: 58 posts

Looking for help with this game i'm creating. is similar to Demon's Souls in a few ways but storyline is going to be very different. this game will be HARD. Not hard, HARD. Set in the Medieval times, were people believed in spirits and witches, and there is magic in the air, you choose your path, Mage, Knight or Dragon Rider, each has a different story to follow, each with completely different skills and abilities. Knights are strong,and well-armoured, Mages have less armour, but their attacks are a lot more powerful, Dragon Riders have medium defence and strong attack.
This is going to be my first RPG of a series and your choices in the first game will affect everything you do in the games to come.
If you are interested add me on PSN: Wayneiscool or private message me on lbpc. i already have a great logic and scenery designer, but if you told me the skills you are best in im sure we could find something for you too do, as it's gonna be BIG. 		2011-03-21 20:40:00

All your levels are big and MM Pick worthy! No joke!

I dont need to ask to help because I already did ~Cough~ Options Menu Logic ~Cough~ .

Since I help you out alot, you probably want new people working with you, (people who can actually tell good jokes) but if there is something they cant do which I can, you know who to call (GhostBusters! I mean, me. Definitely me..wow, i'm not funny..)

It sounds like an intresting concept.
Just one question - Will it have awesome custom music?		2011-03-21 21:57:00

I'd love to give you tips and all of that. However I'm working on a RPG myself so I can't really do anything else. And if I were you my major concern would be the thermometer not getting in the way of gameplay. Try to downsize AS MUCH as possible, unless it's sacrificing something. So you can save space and all of that jazz you should make a HUB level that links to the other levels. It could be in the form of a map with locations. If you want to save even more space in your moon you can take it to the next step and transfer it to a new account which would be called a project account. Since the player will have a choice of how the storyline will drag out you might as well play with the data transfer series of logic made by several players. I believe that there is several different ways. You can find it in the tutorial threads. If you need anymore help you can message me here or on PSN.2011-03-21 23:10:00

Yeah, the decisions that the player makes spreads out to around 10-12 different levels, (around 4 thermo-filled levels for each character) all lead to different endings, such as one scene: The Dragon Rider, Rook, is a two faced character, a cheat and vicious at that, the decisions you make in the game sway you towards good and evil and come down to even the smallest decisions, will you kill him? Why did you kill that rabbit? For meat (inventory item), or just for fun? Each single decision changes the entire game.

Hunting will also be a large part of the gameplay. As you play, your character gets hungrier and if left for to long, he will die. Killing animals and the Soulless Ones in the Stonefang Mines produce meat, as the Soulless Ones live only to serve, they have been reduced to nothingness and then reduced even more, the bottom of the food chain, *spits* they are vile creatures and when encountered with a Soulfull one (you) they sometimes attack to try and harvest your souls. As Ive said many times, this game is hard and if you so much as get hit badly, you will die. End of story.2011-03-22 23:17:00

And i also sent SSTAGG1 this, but i'll post it here as well:
Soul counts are as follows:
Soulless Ones: 1
Animals: 3
You: 50
Dragons: 100
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
fighting Dragons vary between each Soulline:
Rook: 3 Dragons
Oslak: 2 Dragons
Mage: 2 Dragons		2011-03-23 08:48:00

Endings for individual characters are in progress, but each Soulline has 10 different endings these are changed by the following:
Swaying too far to your evil side.
Swaying too far to your good side.
The amount of souls you have:
100- leaves you starving alone in a cold pit in the dungeons of Tel
200- Slay the dragon(if in correct Soulline) and take it's eggs.
300- Find an abandoned hole in the StoneFang mines and never being seen again.
400- Being constantly hunted by The Soulless Ones until all your souls are harvested.
500- Buried alive in an Avalanche (if in correct Soulline).
600- Finding the key to the Gateway...
700- Being killed in the Arena of Boletaria.
800- Being swallowed whole by a yeti
900- Finding Excalibur
1000- Slaying the Dragon of Sky Mountain and becoming the God King.

Of course, there are more to come and they vary by the time you finish the game and the ending decisions, but these are the ones that we have ruled out so far.		2011-03-23 22:13:00

Just be prepared to take the heat for making a very difficult level. There will be casual players who will dislike it, so just know that it is likely to occur.

Other than that, the tale sounds very well developed. I think the sway in your reputation from good to evil depending on your actions and decisions is excellent. I have a similar system in place for my space level, where your rep with certain factions will affect how you interact with them.

I've started the menu logic. It really isn't that hard to make, but tying in the soul values is slightly more difficult, especially for displaying a range of 10000. If you want it to be completely accurate, it's going to get excessively complex. The problem is that timers and other analogue methods of determining values are inaccurate, so many values will be off by a few places. Using binary would remove the inaccuracy, but would increase complexity by about 4x. Not a problem on the thermo, really, but just a warning if you wanted to understand how it worked.

You may want to change the name of the Latvia Prison, don't want to go offending anyone accidentally.

Just a question: What are you using the score for? If I could use that for the number of souls, epic. If not, oh well. It'd just be ridiculously easy to make that way.		2011-03-23 22:44:00

This sounds great and I really hope to see this come to fruition!
There's one thing though, perhaps change the name, as many people may get this confused with the popular flash game of the same game... (I did, hehe!)		2011-03-23 22:45:00

Yes I am thinking of changing the name to Souls, or something of the sort, waiting for more information and suggestions.

@SSTAGG1 is latvia a place? I've got it from the game Demons Souls? If I've remembered it incorrectly I will change it, thanks for the heads up. Using binary would be alot better IMO, but it just depends if you're up for a challenge.
And don't worry, i've made plenty of difficult levels and got a lot of abuse lol, but they've always had decent ratings lol (?!), I've just never made one this difficult

Edit: and no, i really don't want it to be score as I hate that little bubble that hangs in the left hand corner so (I know I'm being difficult, sorry :S) so would numbers be a problem?

Edit(again) : have changed Latvia to Latria, is that a place or am I safe?		2011-03-23 23:11:00

Nah, it just means I need to spend 30 minutes instead of 5, lol.

Also Latvia is a country in northern Europe if I remember correctly.

Latria should be fine.		2011-03-23 23:27:00

Latvia? don't you mean LATRIA

and yeah this should be a SOULS game...Age of War and being based off Demon's Souls doesn't make sense

also what's this game going to be Top-Down? or taking advantage of the 3D camera? or is it going to be side scrolling?		2011-03-23 23:27:00

side scrolling, was originally going to be 3d but the rotation of all the fields made it look silly so i changed it.		2011-03-24 08:33:00

well you don't HAVE to make it rotate...you could make it ALA Metal Gear 1 where the camera never changed and all areas where just 1

but yeah idk up to you side scrolling is fine (better to appreciate my costumes for this project with)		2011-03-24 08:54:00

Ok guys, we have had quite a few suggestions on gameplay aspects but in particular I am looking for the following:
Music (I do make music myself, but it's a different type)
Scenery (helping me please :S)
Logic (I do already have two fantastic logic designers (SSTAGG1 and ibbyradwan) and they are great but they can't do it all, can they? Can they?...)

And finally, a name, I came up with Souls, but I think I'm a bit crap at name telling so any suggestions will be taken greatly (:		2011-03-24 21:59:00

I got a few--im not really sure what its about though

Lost Souls

Hell's Soul

The Last Anecdote

Dark Melancholy

Dead Legend

Demon Age

i may need to know more of the plot to think of more extravagant names, but these are somethings off the top of my head...		2011-03-24 22:17:00

Yo,

I've been watching this thread closly as I am a massive demon souls fan!

Would it be achievable for you to have a black phantom randomly spawn at the start of the level and chase you down? =P That would be cool!

As for names....:

The Black Phantom Chronicles! (Yes I like the whole black phantom idea!)

Thats all i have for ideas of names... sorry:<

To be honest, I really like the name Demon Age, what do you think? Having said that, there are quite a few things related to hell in the Rook and Oslak part of the story, so i'll have a think, Demon Age is my face ATM tho (:

Edit: as soon as your Chrono Break is over, I'll show you around etc. Ok? (:		2011-03-24 22:25:00

Yep, should be soon, and i can think of more names once i see the game if Demon Age isnt good enough-- that did sound pretty cool though lol		2011-03-24 22:33:00

Awesome, please be warned, I'm aiming the game for maybe 12+ as not only is it violent, I'm going to maybe <-- MAYBE add a few horror elements as in the forest of Boletaria in which Rook and Mage get to, either one can lose their Clan Soul, which brings terrible sickness, madness and maybe self harm. It's a particularly deep part of the story where you can truly see the weakness in even the strongest of men can crack in the end.
What do you think bout that?? As I said, its just a thought. 		2011-03-24 22:38:00

Its pretty hard to make a dark tone without it being violent, i probably wouldn't use something like this for my game, but i think for what your going for you should, but thats just me. I think its a good idea and would match the game well2011-03-24 23:28:00

This thread is very relevant to my interests... I love both Demon's Souls and LBP, so this caught my eye. ^^
Do you know a lot about the Demon's Souls story? And how much similarities do you wish there to be between DS and your level? Just the gameplay? The story? What?
As for names I was thinking something referencing the hunger for souls, which is all DS story is actually about. Something like "The Lust for Souls" "Soul Hunger" "The Hunger"
"?ge of the Soulless", Idk something like that i'd also love it if you provide info on the plot to see how it is ?uz id love to contribute anyway i can, even though i dont possess LBP2 atm. Also remember DS is not only hard, it is Unforgiving, meaning when you die there has to be a kinda big penalty. Well, if you want to make it like demons souls, which is the assumption im basing my post on.		2011-03-25 00:55:00

If you could, perhaps just write the dialogue to fit a more mature audience. Be subtle, but try to include some hints at certain events or ideas which would interest an older gamer.

I've never played DS, so I can't say much for plot, content, or appearance.

I might be on later tonight to make that soul counter. Just to be sure, it never decreases, right? Adding a subtraction method is slightly more annoying.		2011-03-25 01:05:00

i have the DS story and have completed it several times ^^ if you give me ur PSN i can go into the level itself and see what you can do? some places in Demons Souls will appear in the game, but they are usually a different part of the same place in which the character in demons souls never found.

Trust me my friend, this game will be the most unforgiving game you will ever play. if you take a bad hit from a stronger enemy, you will die. end of. Back to square one. there are no saves (atm) because i want to get a feel of realisticness in the game.		2011-03-25 08:41:00

No there will be no subtraction of souls, don't worry bout that. just make a basic sackbot that when is hit with a tag three times, sends out a tag and the soul counter finds the tag signal and adds the souls to your soul counter. if that makes sense...		2011-03-25 08:43:00
