RMXP - Good game?

[Meteor Rain 0]

Well, I'm thinking about making a game what you can do what you want. No following the story, slaughtering monsters 24/7, fight the boss and a "The End" with credits.

 

I'm thinking about making a game what you can do whatever you want. The player can train by killing monsters and animals. If bored, he can train his skills. Like woodcutting, fishing. And then sell it to get some money for better gear and things. The player can also buy his own house to live in.

 

The storyline:

 

Come to the world of Tholan. In the world of Tholan, you can do anything you want. Want to fight some monsters? There are enough in the wild! Tired of this fighting and training? Then what about getting some resources and food? Need wood? There are many trees in the forests of Tholan. Want some fish? No problem, you can fish in the high quality waters of Tholan. Need some metal? No problem. You can mine some ores in Tholan's iron and coal mines. Come, player. Step in the magical word of Tholan!

 

After I'm done with this I'm going to try to make an MMORPG game of this.

 

So, what do you think about it? Do you think it is sh*t, or do you think it can get succesful?

its got potential, these type of games usually do :) is it going to be free roaming as in, walk were ever you want no area restrictions?

 

I think there's some scripts out there that allow for several different skill for example woodcutting, crafting, picklocking and minign etc If there is, then I'm sure someone here will know about them, for me my knowledge is a little misty

 

Also, look inot DarkFall the mmorpg - it literally is do anythign you want mmorpg :)

XD I was thinking of making a game like that but I got bored because I didn't have anyone else helping me work on it.

this sounds like it would be good. if you make it into a mmorpg then I'd probably play it. :biggrin_002:

I actually have a project similar to this. It has a story, broken up into 3 parts.

 

Tutorial and basics - basically you learn about the game, controls, and how the world works all while being pushed towards specific quests; wrapped inside of a part of your life as a young kid then to teen years.

 

Main Game - you wake up from a comma and train for said years so now you're older and you decide what to do, which quests to do, how people view you etc. which is all open sandbox like style.

 

End Game - Basically leading you to become all powerful, yet independent. You can own kingdoms, battle kingdoms, traverse to God lands and ect.

 

--....

 

non the less, it takes a LOT of friggin work... i'm still working the advanced AI since its really massive -- I'd like for there to be a minimum of 30 categories each AI will talk about, and then a ton more of random conversation x.X

 

and yes having people to help, or followers to motivate you is practically NEEDED! -- so I will support you ^^ but sadly i can help you with minor opinions, advice, and maybe some small eventing on the side. I have a lot on my plate with my project -- and not to mention school and college preparation lol.
