Here is arguably the best tactical battle system script for RMXP: http://www.rpgmakervx.net/index.php?showtopic=4843

Herores from the Realm of Light "I will not allow it to end this way. Not yet. If light and darkness are eternal, then surely we nothings must be the same.... Eternal." ~ Xemnas This is the Character Development thread of the FP14 community event. This thread has been partitioned from the "In the year 20XX" Story Thread. All Character submissions and modifications will take place here from now on. Describe your characters personalities, motivations, history, physical appearance, etc. You can make suggestions in pieces or you can give a whole description with a setting premise and characters. Note that these elements will be divorced from each other when we are voting on them so be aware of this. For example, Kyle might be from the future, but our story takes place in the middle ages (example). Also please give constructive criticism to help make characters more developed. For Reference, here is where you can find information about the game's setting and overall plot: In the Year 20XX PP: 4 points per New character PP: 2 points per meaningful post Created Characters: Eddie, Daniel Constant Hall, Valentine, Hale, Keida, Alivia Character Submissions: Character submissions can be made at any time and must be posted here for review before they are added to the game site. Please use the following Format

Alright, I get on that. As for the story. Keida is a bandit who lives outside the city, you're reffering to Hale. Hale's the one who started the activist group and invited Valentine in. I also think that Hale and Valentine would be childhood friends, thus when she wanted to get away from her father and dancing, Hale would invite her to the group. I also if it isn't obvious Valentine is in love with Hale.

Usually I go with ABS, but for this game I think a strategy focused system makes more sense. Specifically a hybrid between an ATBS(Active Time/Turn Based Battle System) and TBS (Tatical Battle System). Mainly because It will rarely just be Hale (MC) fighting on his own he'll typically have a squad. And when you have multiple squads fighting it might be to many for a simple turn based system. Thus a turn based system for squad battles, and tactical system for full scale wars. Also 2k3 battle is superior to XPs

Back to the Lab (again) Youtube Video ->Original Video This is the Game Mechanic Development thread of the FP14 community event. The subject of this thread is pretty straight forward. This is were we discuss how the what game play mechanics we will include such as battle system, party systems, windows and menus, etc... Unlike the Engine Thread which got its own dedicated thread and votes. Every suggestion will be considered and discussed. If we need to vote on which thing to ideas to support than a poll will be created but right now the most important thing to do is to discuss how the game will work. For Reference, here is where you can find information about the game's setting and overall plot: In the Year 20XX PP: 4 points per meaningful post

Technically this is the story development thread, So we should start developing story. All though we have or plot settings and main characters. I think we need some ideas on where the game will start. So How about it, or should I make a separate thread for this?

Round 2 of story voting is now completed. Unite the World It might be too late to stop the Apocalypse but that doesn't mean its over yet Further, discussion on this setting can be found here: http://www.gdunlimited.net/forums/topic/10462-fp14-in-the-year-20xx-story/ Round 3 will take place soon...

Wow, they look fantastic. The only issue is that Alivia's hair should be a much brighter blonde.

Go ahead, the tektek stuff is only good for concept stuff but that azaleas thing looks a lot more comprehensive. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with it so I would appreciate it if you tried your hand at recreating the characters here: http://tektek.org/dream_avatar/tag/fp14 just the four on the top row, the one at the bottom was a mistake but I can't get rid of it

fairly good, but limited avatar generator http://www.tektek.org/dream_avatar/ All the fp14 characters I've designed are under the tag "fp14" no quotes http://tektek.org/dream_avatar/tag/fp14

Added Alivia and Keida images:

More Character: For Unite the world Name: Alivia Gender: Female Race: any Age: 22 Importance: Important Background: A devout priest and medic who joins the crows at the request of her deceased brother.

As long as the vote is open, Story suggestions can be submitted. After March 15, the story will be confirmed and subsequent additions will only be used to modify the selected story. Furthermore, after March 15, we can start game development related to story and start considering the mechanistic factors like battle system and party organization. Keep in mind that since these decisions will stem tangentially from our story, suggestions would optimally take place in the selected setting "Post-Apocalyptic Dystopia" and be broad enough to sync with many different game play styles. Also feel free to add characters to make it more coherent, and later add those characters to the story suggestion page.

Round 2 Voting has been extended to March 15. Please try to vote at least.

Round 2 Voting has begun! Please see the first post for details!

*triple post* The second round of voting has begun! More ideas can be submitted, but those being voted on will be in the main discussion spot light. Round 2 voting will focus on story/plot! http://www.gdunlimited.net/forums/topic/10541-fp14-voting-machine-dre700-elected-president-story-voting/

*whoa, double post, I'm breaking all the rules today* Character's for the story Story Rewrite: After the Second Exodus, nearly 75% of the human population was wiped. Governments evaporated and society degenerated into a state of total anarchy. A state of nature where every human was in a constant state of war with each other. In order to protect themselves and restore order, people formed city states from the remnants of government that managed to sources of authority and protection. Those outside the walls of these city states were not so fortunate and had to fend for themselves. However, eventually the city states grew in power and began to sap resources from the already strained post-apocalpytic environment. Hale, a youth who has spent his entire life enclosed in the walls of his city state, starts an activist group that seems to have good intentions. He even invites his childhood friend Valentine, who had been looking to get away from her dancing career, to join the group. All seems to be going good until, Valentine accidentally commits a crime, and Hale takes the blame in order to protect Valentine's future. Unfortunately, the crime turns out to be very serious, and Hale is sentenced to death by exile despite Valentine's effort at saving him. Being cast out into the hostile world, Hale has to survive on his wits alone. He encounters Keida, the leader of a rogue group of bandits and convinces him to transform his group, the crows, into a force of unification outside of the city walls. He aims to forcibly unite the world under one rule. While many see the The Crows as evil, the Hale believes in the cause and that by uniting the world they can achieve peace. Unfortunately, the Valentine has the same idea and starts uniting the city states to make a powerful competing force with much better resources and technology. But unlike the Hale who seeks to unite everyone equally, Valentine wishes to unite the world under the city states control. The Hale must fight against the corruption of power, while leading his ragtag group of bandits to victory against a much better equipped foe with just as much determination as his.

I picture the MC as emotionally mature, or at least half way in the story MC realizes that he/she is becoming a tyrant like his/her friend in the city is. I'm gonna rewrite my plot suggestion in a more easier to understand form later.

Elaborate please, If I've missed the point then its crucial for you to explain it to me. The lazze-faire approach to character creation is to reduce the amount of participation necessary for the project to succeed and to encourage as much participation as possible by making it very low entry. Quality will inevitably take a hit, but it is more important that we actually produce something then stagnate like the previous projects. ~ Please start making Story Submissions as voting will commence this Saturday! The Setting is a post apocalyptic future dystopia with small fringe societies barely hanging on and different factions working for different goals. A strong story could work with any characters but strong characters could lead any story so keep this in consideration. I'll start: Anarchy reigns in this post apocalyptic dying planet, the world's governments have downsized considerably into citystates that are somewhat wealthy, but selfish, hogging resources from the chaotic outside world. The main character was part of a group of youths who lived in the middle class of one of the wealthiest cities. However, things go awry when the MC is framed for a severe crime by his/her best friend whose political aspirations convince the MC to take the blame but he/she doesn't realize the ramifications and is sentenced to death by exile. Being cast into the hobbesian state of nature, a state of war where everyman is for himself, the MC has to survive with his/her wits. And Joins a fledgling unification group that aims to forcibly unite the world under one rule. While many see the group as evil are harmful, the MC believes in the cause and that by uniting the world they can achieve peace. Unfortunately, the MC's friend with political aspirations has the same idea and starts Uniting the city states to make a powerful competing force with much better resources and technology. But unlike the MC who seeks to unite everyone equally, MC's Friend wishes to unite the world under the city states control. The MC must fight against his/her own lust for power and control their army while at the same time combatting against a much more powerful better equipped foe.

Resubmit your post This is a slow week, because I'm working on creating missions but there should be a specific topic on monday.

tbh this was the first time i even heard of that game, If i were Dong I would simply ignore it, people in the game industry need thicker skins and need to realize that now that they are becoming mainstream entertainment makers they should expect it. Im not justifying the hate, but honestly if you don't interact with the it, it will dissipate quickly Especially since I want to be a game designer myself, it makes me angry that I'm over here hustling and this guy is distressed by his success. I would love to be in his position. Maybe if he was getting sued or facing some legal action, then I would back down but seriously there are simple ways to make to avoid this. Its not like he's getting DDOSed like EA was.

Any kind of character with any kind of name can be submitted regardless of origin as long as it has a name to which also has no restrictions. For example look at black mage's Eddie. Or Princess Plum, she's a character I literally just came up with. Generally, its better to make fleshed out characters then leave it up to the community cause you will have a better grasp on your character then the rest of the community, especially if you didn't flesh it out to begin with. For example, did you know that Princess Plum hates plums? Of course you didn't. Furthermore, the more well developed a character, the more prominent a character will be. Obviously it makes sense to put the spotlight on a character that is well built.

The Sword of Damocles "Today, every inhabitant of this planet must contemplate the day when this planet may no longer be habitable. Every man, woman, and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident or miscalculation or by madness." - John F.
