I came up with an idea Holla Forums, how about we try to make a RPG game together? RPG maker is easy to pirate and easy enough to use for us all to be able to do stuff in it. Let's pick one of several versions of RPG maker and start making a game.
>The only rule is that you cannot tamper with the location of the previous user in any way unless doing otherwise would stop the player from completing the game
Here is a Straw Poll for the version we will be using Theoretically the newer versions are often better than the previous ones but sometimes people prefer using the older ones so let's see what you guys think: strawpoll.me/14386175
Nigger don't tell me that making a video game together with other anons, working on different locations until it becomes an incoherent mess of memes, quests, shitposting, story content and other stuff wouldn't be fun. It's like collaborative writing but with video games.
Christian Lopez
Fun? There's no fun to be had in throwing increasingly dumb ideas or the inevitable leaderfaggotry. Also good luck trying to run a Holla Forums project without the kike latching on with those grubby, cake crusted, sweaty mitts.
Caleb Murphy
Don't confuse this with a serious project. The whole point is that everyone can at any point of time download the files adding whatever they fuck they want as long as they do it in a separate location from what was already in the game. Think of this as those threads with adding things to a picture to create a HUD but in vidya form. With attitude like that there is no point in trying anything aside from our traditional threads which is fine but it leads to the board being stagnant because they will fail after some time.
Christian Powell
At least use Game Maker you degenerate.
Ian Scott
You're not part of the project anymore
Logan Perez
The point is that it should be a program easy to pirate and easy enough to use for any user to pick up it without any problems while still allowing for creative input. Game Maker although isn't terribly complicated requires a bit more learning.
RPG maker is easy to use and still allows for us to create something that we can enjoy or at least have fun with. Learning Game Maker would take a bit too much time for someone who doesn't know how to use it to join on something like this while RPG maker is so fucking simple **and many anons have already used it in the past*I* that basically anyone at Holla Forums can join.
Connor Ramirez
It literally has drag and drop code for basic games now though. Virtually anything people here to do competently can be done with prefab tools in Gamemaker. You'd have to be Game Journalist retarded to not be able to use the basic shit in game maker.
Michael Collins
oy vey
Cameron Cooper
Why am I a dick ?
James Watson
Whatever happened to that 7th Stand User sequel that some anons were working on?
Henry Hill
I don't know user, why are you a dick? I mean I'm not your psychiatrist or anything.
Jose Baker
Why do you humiliate me like that ?
Ayden Moore
Still even then, wouldn't it be a little bit better for the program to use to be a little bit more restrictive for something like this? Although it is fine if the game is a bit chaotic, Game Maker has far more options than RPG Maker and because of that it can lead to a completely incomprehensible mess. No matter what user does in his new location if we do it with RPG maker, the game won't be completely broken, doing something like that in Game Maker might just lead to something so inherently broken that it becomes unplayable, and that's not the point.
Luke Clark
Apparently it's still going on, but it looks like the devs have cut all contact with 8ch.
Austin Flores
STOP
Ryder Walker
I'm interested, though I have to wonder, how are we going to combine all of out work together?
Joseph Perez
I drew a boy
Christian Wright
Unless you can use it to make a proper rogue i can tell you right now that your gay little project is doomed to fail
Nolan Gutierrez
We can use game maker instead
Justin Powell
Because I love you.
Kayden Anderson
It's not like we enjoyed RPG maker games in the past ironically or unironically like with Uncommon Time and Off respectively or used RPG maker games in the past.
You're supposed to upload what you made here after you are finished with it so the next user can pick it up.
>inb4 they turn up on some reddit proclaiming this place was 2toxic5them
Hudson Rivera
How about making a sprite of an user for the main character? That shouldn't be too hard to make, we just need to agree on the version of the program Vx Ace seems to be winning right now.
Kevin Nelson
XP was the last good version. VX and VX Ace are absolutely fucking garbage. MV is also a joke.
Mason Parker
How about something that isn't gay? Like making a doom map-pack?
Noah Campbell
Didn't we already do that a few times already?
Jordan Rodriguez
Nope, that would have been /vr/ on cuckchan.
Brayden Gutierrez
Didn't we already try this before?
Jordan Barnes
Yeah, I think we were only allowed 24 hours to do it or something. I made a little bit of MSPaint art for it. It didn't really go anywhere.
Cooper Roberts
How about Holla Forums (the main protagonist) walking through different cities (embodiment of boards, Holla Forums, /a/…) on the holy land of Holla Forums. The main protagonist has to deliver cities of evils redit refugees. We are send by the Emperor of the holy land (Emperor Hotwheels the first). What do you think of the plot ?
Brandon Roberts
The plot will probably arise naturally from different locations that anons create, but starting as user or Holla Forums is a good starting point.
Matthew Peterson
What version of RPG Maker would we use? MV Ace?
Hudson Perez
Vote in the strawpoll for the version you want user.
William Sullivan
Should it really be a vote? I mean it's not like we'll buy it, so using the one with the most features/the latest should be a given, no?
Samuel Baker
What a shit thread.
Hunter Edwards
Why are you pessimistic?
Logan Harris
Why do you want to use RPG maker? Why not something like Godot with Tiled?
Robert Reyes
Yeah but some people prefer the older versions for different reasons.
Carson Brooks
Doesn't using Godot take actual skill and did they implement C# compatibility yet?
Hunter King
I'm just being honest, faggot.
Kayden Scott
Develop, please
Jeremiah Stewart
cast: Nero Igor Gerald Gorge Emili Ray
Andrew Brown
Shit OP. Shit anything. Shit setup. Etc.
Benjamin Parker
Well before you leave the thread, can you drop an idea (something) for the project, even if you don't want to participate ?
Tyler Baker
id steal heavily from Violated Heroine if you want to keep an audience interested and for it to last everyone likes that engine too
Michael Sanders
also, they are all friends and have a secret club, something like the TKKG where they take the first latter of their names for the name of their secret club.
Connor Price
and they need someone they worship, a god or something greater. His name should be reltih, sounds mystic, almost ancient eqiptians.
Jayden Nelson
cheeky nigger you
Dominic Myers
/tg/-user here, I've been the head of a number of collaborative development projects on my board, and the most important thing before anything else is having a coherent setting, which i feel you're disregarding here. Usually, it's best to set up the world using the five-faction method, by having anons each post a single idea representing a group that is in conflict with the other five. This sets up a nice level of diversity, and deciding the reason for conflict also helps the world development arise naturally.
Juan Watson
and than there is that villan, an old as fuck dude who eats babys. His name is Rosor, he has six hearts and owns all the money on the planet. His evil army of angry dew's attack every city with propaganda and let other fight for them. This brings up all the monster on the planet.
Owen Bailey
Yeah. Don't make it shit.
Luis Gutierrez
Well, participate
Nicholas Hernandez
How about a fire emblem ROM hack? A couple easy as fuck tools have popped up in recent years, and anons who aren't in the mood to put up with it can splice/make some portraits.
This too. We should set up some setting before we start anything. How about something based off of Holla Forums? Because being creative is really fucking hard.
Andrew Hernandez
Play Marathon Trilogy and The Ur-Quan Masters and complete them all then respond back to me.
Chase Edwards
Okay, seeing that RPG maker VX Ace seems to be consistently winning as for now, let's go with this one.
Any of you know a good service where to upload files? I made a starting location this just being an user's room, I didn't change anything else so main character's name, sprite and everything else is something that can be freely changed.>>13783039
William Young
mega or if it's not too big the Holla Forums vola
Jaxon Gonzalez
Depressing
Brayden Ward
I'm proposing pic related to be the protagonist
His story can be about him going around doing nothing wrong.
Here, I made a quick account to upload the game with the first location.
Zachary Reyes
Also
Any dumbshit who knows how to use RPGMaker isn't going to want to have to be dependent on 30 other retards stepping on each others' toes while trying to force their shitty, tired memes into it. And each thread will devolve into five faggots each trying to be the curator of the whole thing.
Elijah Collins
Now anyone who wishes to do so can pick up the game, open it in RPG maker and add another location. Maybe a good idea would be for anons to say that they are going to do the next area before actually sending it? That way we would avoid confusion and situations in which two anons send their games in the same time.
Aiden Gray
If the love insterest isn't a trap or a harem of traps then you aren't making a true Holla Forums game.
Dominic Lee
You are free to add them if you want user.
Xavier Gonzalez
Here's a logo so you can actually get started working on the game
Ethan Taylor
I already posted a link to the first location in this post now someone just has to pick it up and make another one. We could add your logo as a title screen seeing that we have nothing better
Adrian Butler
Stop promoting rubbish engines.
Oliver Edwards
We are pirating them anyways so what's the fucking problem?
Connor Ramirez
What about this plot: (10000% Holla Forums related) (Japanese style or it's not a true game*)
Brandon Ortiz
dropped
Juan Gonzalez
Found your issue
Cooper Butler
They're shit-tier engines that completely shit themselves when you try doing anything outside the standard RPG Maker formula or fuck around with the battle system much. The idea behind it and other shit-tier engines is to make something vaguely newfag-friendly but include a bunch of bullshit design choices that lock newfags into the engine and make them scared of trying anything else. Fucking Game Maker is a better engine in many ways and that engine is hot rubbish.
Juan Fisher
Why not make a Chris-Chan RPG about his love quest. Retard
Nolan Morris
Yeah, altering the damage calculation of magic so that I can focus on variety of function rather than just have successively more powerful tiers of the same spell is great, but it doesn't matter much when that's about the only thing I can do without learning a programming language. Modern RPG Makers have completely lost sight of their original purpose.
Grayson Martin
It is easier to make it in Gamemaker?
Luis Thompson
Gamemaker takes a little more to get used to but it will introduce you to actual game development.
Aaron Watson
I'm thinking about making a JRPG in Gamemaker. I just want a lateral system, over 100 characters to choose and not too hard way to navigate in a semi openworld 2d series of maps.
Brody Lee
Who told you my secret ?
Also, we're still stick on "RPGmaker or Game maker?"
Robert Torres
Truly the best
Asher Brooks
How about some simple plot to get started. Now let's fill in the blanks. Let's say the setting is just atechan for the time being, that alone could give us some nice variety for characters. The issue I see here is that we could become overly reliant on pre-existant memes and shit.
Kevin Hernandez
You know the link to the game is still here in the thread, you can just download it and add to it.
Jeremiah Ramirez
I literally fucking did that.
Daniel Rivera
OP, judging by this one thread, your project is already dead because of no organization and giving everyone too much of a say on every issue. The best thing to do now would be to pick the engine that has the best ratio of ease-of-use and piracy, then set up bare minimum groundwork. Write out and build a beginning, hub area, and end that are set in stone so everyone has a starting point to build upon. Have links to people joining to grab the tools, how to use them, and the base areas they're working off to reduce confusion about what everyone is doing. A little bit of structure and rules goes a long way.
Kevin Cruz
You are actually right. Maybe the best way to do this would be to fuck the idea of a vote and presenting the concept and instead just make the base groundwork with the first location already being present and then throw it out alongside with a link to RPG maker basically telling anons to build off that. I will probably try to wait for this thread to die and then create a more cohesive one.
Juan Scott
We can make out a story now while this thread is still there. Maybe ask a vol to just bumplock it rather than delete it or wait for it to die.
The "user wakes up and has to find his vidya" seems like a decent start.
Ethan Bennett
The point was that the story was supposed to be arising naturally from the people adding new locations in. But that's a very good start. We would still need a sprite for the main character. Seeing as we will be doing this on VX it would have to look something like pic related.
Lincoln Ward
*VX ace
Brody Wilson
Just keep in mind I'm not telling you that this is shit and will go nowhere. Unlike Anton and Coolpecker, something can potentially come out of this. Maybe you could find a way to channel the autism of everyone lamenting how bad Uncommon Time was and if anons could do better.
Matthew Adams
I'm well aware of that, I realized that this was a bit badly organized and I hope to remake this thread with some better organization.
Luke Johnson
What's the dimensions of one sprite? 16x16?
Julian Price
come up with a decent plan, delete this thread, and remake with clear, concise instructions i find threads where OP has things organized and is simply filling predetermined roles as opposed to ones where they're asking "what should we do, how should we do it" always go further. act like a leader and people will follow
Dylan Moore
Also, seeing that we have a better thought out start than before I will also make a better intro for the game than the location I initially created.
Checking in Paint it was 27x32
I'm only keeping this thread still alive to organize stuff a little better and find a potential sprite for the main character.
Cooper Hernandez
Ok, here's an idea: Magic doesn't exist in this world, but people can train themselves up (or be born if they're lucky) with some fucking overpowered powers and abilities without much logic or reason, so if someone trained hard enough they could combust into fire at will, and if they aren't retarded, build up a resistance to fire.
Josiah Turner
Minimal plot. Too many writers creates torn paper, not a novel.
