Noob Saibot 38 Report post Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Why this Project? In February (2014) I will be starting a new class for college, and it will focus on writing for video games. I am going to assume they will have us create a story for a game idea/concept of a genre of our choice. Will it actually Get made? Yes, the assignment in question will be designed (even if I don't get to choose my genre) to be placed in a portfolio so having a small hobby indie based game to go along with it will add to the portfolio and my understanding of making a game (at least in terms of "small"). Where did the title come from? Toltear (pronounced: tole-tear) is the name of a fictional world I created for a fantasy novel series I am working on. It was original called Lenova, but I wanted something that was a little catchy. The word itself popped into my head at random. However, the title for the game (though very simple and even cliche) plays on the words of the slogan: "Because every world has more then one hero!" So instead of playing has one character or playing one story you will play as different characters who all have their own story in the world of Toltear (some characters may even meet or join other heroes on their own quests). So even though it is cliche it signifies that you will be playing as characters who will go down in history as legends. The basic Details! Engine: RMXP Sprites Used:Naramura's collection, and a few defaults. Scripts Used: http://www.atelier-rgss.com/RGSS/RGSS_XP.html Credits: "See scripts used and sprites used above." Story & Characters: This game is going to have multiple stories, protagonists, and antagonists so I'm still flushing out the details for this part (after all this FORUM is Early in Development and you can't more EARLY then this). Suggestions & the Like! Do you have any ideas or suggestions (minus "this topic lacks information...it is a work in progress). ~Thanks for any help or suggests you can or will provide! Update Log 12/28/2013 - Decided on an engine (RMXP), decided on a few scripts, and sprites to be used. Edited December 28, 2013 by Noob Saibot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noob Saibot 38 Report post Posted December 28, 2013 Alright a small update... 1) I decided to go with RPG Maker XP. 2) I will be using some of Atelier's scripts (exact scripts to be decided). 3) And most of Naramura's character sprites and battlers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
