RMXPU The Video Game(WIP)(Poll)

[Jon Bon 43]

Introduction

I came up with an idea for a game based on this community. The inspiration for it comes from many different places, but after a few weeks of fiddling around with it, this is what I have. I thought it would be neat to include the community in a game, as well as make it with their input along the way. Take a look at what I have and let me know what you think.

 

STORY SYNOPSIS

 

Intro

Story begins with the hero (you/player character) sitting at their computer searching the internet about indie gaming. Eventually finding the site RMXP Unlimited they click on the RMXPU Game button which sucks them into the digital game world. There the player character arrives in a strange new place only to be quickly attacked by Adbots. Thankfully a mysterious robot named RMXPU comes to the rescue. The hero finds out that this world is being attacked by the evil being known as Degradation, who is sending fake code, adbots, spambots and other mean baddies into the world to cause problems. RMXPU the robot and the hero meet up with a group of people known as the 'Staffers' they are charged with keeping the system stable and fighting off all bad things Degradation sends to attack the system.

 

Inciting Incident

The attacks on the system from degradation have gotten bad recently, and Marked (a Staffer) is trying to develop a 'data matrix' improvement for the system. The problem is they aren't sure if they will be able to fight back the attack in time for the invention to be made. On top of that, Marked isn't sure 'how' to implement it into the system he just knows it needs an upgrade, and is pretty sure this is it. The Staffers fear Degradation is planning something big, and now think that bringing the hero into this world, had something to do with it. Together they must find out what Degradation has planned and hopefully stop him in time to figure out how to upgrade the system which is falling apart due to Degradation's constant attacks.

 

End

-OMITTED-

 

Villains/Enemies

 

 

Degradation

Some say he's a program, other say he's a virus, no one knows for sure, and no one wants to find out. One thing is for sure, he is one mean baddie and wants nothing but the fall of the system. Degradations controls the programs and applications that attack the system. Even docile and helpful programs bend to his will and need constant protection.

• Adbot - Skills ('Free Smilies', 'XXX Pop-Up')
  
• Spambot - Skills ('Spawn Adbot', 'Ipsum Lorem')
  
• Code-Eater - Skills ('Terra-Bite', 'Giga-Bite', 'Mega-Bite')
  
• FakeCode - Skills ( 'Error 303', 'Blue Screen', 'Red Ring')
  
• Virus - Skills ('Infect', 'Reproduce', 'Convert')
  
• Worm/Trojan - Skills ('Burrow', 'Spread', 'Clone')
  
• Spyware - Skills ('Disguise', 'Spawn Adbot', 'Bog Down')
  
• Bug - Skills ('Reboot', 'Corruption', 'Odd Behavior')
  

Malintesa

As pretty as she is lethal, no sprite dares but steal a nanobyte of code without giving her a standard fraction first. Although dangerous on her own she rarely gets her hands dirty, she leaves that to her two body guards Null, and Void.

• Troll - Skills ('Duplicate', 'Annoy')
  
• 3L337157 - Skills (open to suggestions)
  
• Hacker - Skills ( 'Shut Down', 'Reboot', 'Undo', 'Cut', 'Paste','Compress', 'Unzip')
  
• Mad Blogger - Skills ('ICQ', 'Bad Review', 'NSM', 'Sky P')
  
• Fringer - Skills ('Plant Evidence', 'Nabster', 'ByteComet', 'Azuze')
  
• HoTease - Skills ('Persuasion', 'Seduce', 'Reveal', 'Harass')
  

Null

Slight smarter then his counter part, Void, Null more than makes up for it with his speed and agility.

 

Void

Dumber of the two, Void is well known to be the strongest sprite in the system, possibly stronger then even some programs.

 

 

 

World/Lore Info

 

 

 

Software- All of the below are considered software, anything that can speak, or act, or do.

• Sprite- The main population of the system, they have hopes, dreams and aspirations these entities can reproduce when paired, and live and grow old. They choose their own function.The staffers are all Sprites.
  
• Programs- Similar to sprites, Programs have personalities, but always follow what they were built to do. Programs can be made in many different methods but always by outside means, and never on their own. Programs are also difficult if not impossible to reason with depending on their parameters.
  
• Viruses- Viruses are similar to both programs and sprites, they appear to have their own goals, however are built with parameters to follow. Viruses need nothing but raw data to reproduce, and the more complex the data, the more complex their reproduction. Viruses may also take over and control both Programs and Sprites.
  
• Synths- These are Programs and applications combined, often times many at once. They can serve many purposes and seem to have their own will at times. Examples are, guards, taxi drivers, maintenance workers.
  
• Applications- The simplest of software, Applications, serve only one function, like shops, vehicles, communication devices, weapons, equipment etc. Because most applications only serve one function they are generally stationary and either built into a structure, or part of a portable, but non self mobile device, like a watch, a hat, a gun, or a phone. Some applications have personalities, but all obey their operator.
  

The IPP- The Internet Police Protocol. This group is a collection of Turned Viruses, Sprites, Programs, Applications and pretty much any Software that has the Internet's best interest in mind.

 

Anomaly- A rip in the system that emits massive amounts of negative energy, and renders the surrounding area uninhabitable. The cause of these are unknown.

 

System- The world in which the story takes place. There are many different systems, all of which together make up the Internet.

 

Internet(The Net)- The space in which systems exist. The internet also contains many Sub-Ports, for long voyages.

 

Sub-Port- A docking station used for Torrents, Zips, and other transport vessels to stop, re-energize for a nano-second and get back to mass transport.

 

Internet Packet Transport- Many different vessels exist to allow Software to travel from system to system without having to pay the Ethernet Port fees. Examples of Vessels are, Torrents, Zips, Rars, etc.

 

HTMLink- An experimental device made by Marked, named The High Transfer Movement Link, is said to move data from one place to another instantly. Highly experimental and not yet complete, Marked won't let anyone use it.

 

Ethernet Port- A mass transit system put in place and monitored by the IPP used to quickly connect systems to Ports and other nearby systems.

 

Energy (health/food)- When something is drained of all it's energy it risks deletion and a permanent wipe from the system. Sprites, Programs and Viruses, can regain energy by consuming Energy meals, which come in many different forms,

 

Data (mana/magic/water)- Data is what all things are made up of it, and is what is used to compile anything you interact with, and do many other things, like power scripts, applications, etc. Data is a hard input found in all beings in all systems through out the Net.

 

Code- The currency each system under the protection of the IPP uses for monetary trades.

 

Pixel- The remote town closest to the secret base of the Staffers, and the first place the hero will come across.

 

Thread- The large town which is the center of commerce and crime for the system.

 

Topic- The port town which acts as a travel point for small islands on the Data Sea.

It will be a common 'top' down 2D RPG. Likely turn based combat, possibly live action. The playable characters will be chosen from before and after story events, and change the outcome of the events during the game based on who is in your party. The game is likely to be short, and intend for multiple plays through with the other characters, rather then one long play. The main character will likely be customizable.

 

Community Involvement

If you would like a Non Playable Character added into the game as a representation of yourself, or a fictional creation you made up, then you may request so here, and I will add you to a list for addition into the game. Make sure to add a name for your character if it's different then your user name here, and you may also add a desired description, and I will do my best to match it. You may also give/create your own sprite if desired for addition, unique creations only, nothing from other games. Names must be 'clean' regardless of your user name.

 

If you wish to lend out with the project in any capacity you may do so as well, but there is no official recruitment thread yet, until the games finer points are decided.

 

If you have a suggestion on what combat system is good to use, I am open to suggestions on that. The story from start to finish is written in stone, but anything in the middle is not. If you would like to suggest a side quest or story arc for mid plot then I am more than open.

 

This project is officially on development hiatus.

Thanks for reading!

[Marked 197]

Just letting you know that a few members who I wouldn't include in the game, that are on your list, are:

• Ravenclaw - while slightly active on this forum, and played a big part in terms of causation in the life of the site, its probably best to leave ravenclaw out because he was mainly active on the old old forum, and he would probably wonder why he's on the list. He's definitely on the rmxpu legends list, but probably shouldn't be in this game
  
• Dark Dragon - we had a poll once whether or not to shut down the forum, this guy was the only member to vote yes. He'd flock to whatever's important, he's definitely not an rmxpu legend.
  
• Nisage - he was super helpful back in the day, but its probably been too long between drinks to include him in this game. He's just been gone too long, it would be hard to give him a character
  
• Blazinks - a legend on the old forum. Definitely needs to be omitted.
  

The rest would be good, I think we can get in touch with nearly all of those members and I know enough about them and their contribution to develop bios.

[Polraudio 122]

Wow! This sounds like its going to be AWESOME! I like the story lots :D.

I know lots about the other members to help also.

Thanks. Kinda funny, those were the only people I didn't recognize from the forums. I got the names from this list; Google search: RMXPU Legends. The above list has been edited accordingly.

Pol, don't forget to create your character as well, skies more or less the limit, within reason.

 

Since you two are the other more currently active staff, how do you think I should proceed to acquire their bios? That is the key pin on writing the middle part of the story, based on what kinda of characters they choose to develop. Wyzrd, issac and Emily have been active recently, so I would think they shouldn't be too hard to get opinions from if they choose to be involved, but the others I do not know about their 'reach-ability'.

[Wyzrd 12]

This sounds like a really awesome idea and game and would be amazing to play. I have no problem being used in the game and I'm sure Arkbennett wouldn't either but I will text him now and tell him to hop in here and check it out. Also Leon isn't Leon, Leon is Lizzie.....

 

I would be willing to help anyway that I can. Unfortunenately I'm not very good at describing myself so you might have to get others to do it for me.....

 

 

 

Edit: small mention but just hit 1700 posts! yeaaaaa

[Joey 9]

...For a minute I thought this was gonna be one of those 'you lost the game" jokes, lol.

I also think Kiriashi is pretty much gone for good as well...dunno what happened with him. He would have enjoyed this.

Grats on the posts, heh. Fixed Leon to Lizzie, yeah I 'knew' that, but I didn't know what the score was. I am 'new' here so I want to be very careful not to step on any toes.

Excellent, I am glad you would like a character included, Ark as well.

 

All I really need is at least one general characteristic, think 7 dwarves, Happy, grumpy, quiet, mousey, loud, polite etc. That way I can write the dialogue with that in mind. Then I need, if desired, a character class type. Again think generic, so like ranger, archer, mage, necromancer etc, I will then adapt the theme/idea of that class into the theme of the world. As I said the sky is the limit, if someone makes their character all powerful and crazy awesome, that's totally okay, because they will just be them at max power aka max level, and I can scale down from there.

The staffers can feel free to develop their characters as much or as little as they want, it's all about fun.

 

EDIT: If the Legends feel comfortable with this idea, maybe each one can assign a different Legend to give them a personality trait, if they have trouble picking it themselves type thing.

[Wyzrd 12]

Well Ark said he is cool with it and is gonna help with description for me and him. As far as class for me would be thief.

[Arkbennett 16]

I made a cinematic game for circle of friends awhile back, I can send it to you if you want. It captures my ideal character personality as well as his general list of abilities. It's probably like a 30 minute thing that is 7 chapters long, but I can cite chapters to cut it down for you.

Hell. You can even use the sprite.

My entire character can be covered in this.

 

Wyzrd is on there as well, but only briefly. I had just started his chapter of the series when I lost access to my hard drive. My current version is just an old back-up..

Some words to describe Jon:

"Tempermental"

"Independent Thinker"

"Confident"

[Jon Bon 43]

Wow, heck yeah. I will definitely read through the complete unaltered version, sounds like it would be interesting to read. And if your character is clearly outlined that's a huge writing asset for sure. I would be honored to take a look. Excellent three words, thanks!

[Wyzrd 12]

Naw, it's not a written story. It's a story he made on RMXP. So you could play through it.

 

But yea he probably got me pretty good there.

[Jon Bon 43]

Ahh, yes I understand. I read cinematic too, just thought text for whatever reason. Yeah if its tangible, even better lol. Cool I look forward to it. Kinda funny, those three words well describe me too. I didn't expect such positive feedback, this is excellent.

 

EDIT: @ Wyzrd, I added three potential class ideas for a Thief in that realm, let me know what you think, if you like one or any etc.

[Wyzrd 12]

That's kind of weird seeing as we are both Jon and we are both described the same way haha.

 

I'm liking the idea of Code Lifter. That one seems awesome because I was thinking of either thief or assassin but went with Thief and Code Lifter kind of combines those two.

I thought the same thing, about the names thing, heh!

Agreed, as I was writing them I became more partial to that one as well, changed the class accordingly.

[Arkbennett 16]

Well. I'm having trouble figuring out how to send it to you. It's 49MB and this site uploader is being a little girl.

I can't find a site that doesn't require a membership to upload a file.

 

Jk bro.

 

Right here:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/6lsu5h72hks5/n/Skit_rar

 

That should be all you need to know about me.

[Jon Bon 43]

Thanks!

 

EDIT:

Watched the story. Was a little rough to begin, but all in all, it was pretty darn entertaining. I can only assume a ton of the stuff was inside jokes but I could be wrong. It actually had a pretty solid, and out there story to it, with some rather striking visual effects too. I definitely enjoyed it, and I can for sure make a magician/wizard in that type of a style for 'Ark'.

 

Updates:

• I wrote a small bio for each staffer with a class.
  
• added a lore section to help give people a feel for the game
  
• added open character classes(duplicate themes are ok) so the Legends can pick from, or mix and match, get inspiration etc.
  
• Added an NPC's section for site members I want to include, and who ask to be included, all are welcome
  

[Wyzrd 12]

This is looking awesome. Wish you the best luck with it.

[Arkbennett 16]

Yes, the beginning is a little slow. I find those the difficult. I'm more of an ending person. Except that I never reach the ending on anything I ever make.

Anyways, glad you enjoyed it. If you thought the storyline was solid, its a pity you never the next section. You'd have thought I planned the entire storyline ahead of time.

 

 

I like the bios you put, including mine. I look forward to seeing our characters manifested in your vision.

[Jon Bon 43]

This is looking awesome. Wish you the best luck with it.

 

Hey thanks. I have actually had this concept in my head for a while, and it is in fact highly based off of an animated television series from my youth called Reboot.

 

I like the bios you put, including mine. I look forward to seeing our characters manifested in your vision.

 

Thanks, this project is literally oozing out of me. I can't help but keep creating stuff. I have officially put everything else, other then requested work, on hold and am going to finish this as a top priority.

 

Update:

I think I am going to go with a general RTP style for the sprites/character graphics in the game, drawing and editing as needed. below are some concept sprites of the main characters. Keep in mind these are concept and incomplete in every aspect.

~RMXPU~

 

 

~Degradation~

 

~Malintesa~

 

 

 

I have also been thinking about a graphical style for the tileset, and I keep envisioning and leaning towards an Earthbound (Snes game) type style. So I decided to grab some screenshots of the game, and draw some concept stuff over top. Check the screenshot below of a basic, non shaded, street, house with door and windows. Opinions needed, keep in mind this is concept and not remotely finished in being drawn.

 

[Wyzrd 12]

I think an old school look might be cool. For some reason though I keep thinking a Tron world haha.

[Jon Bon 43]

Haha yeah! I was kinda thinking Tron world too, tis why I put the grid type look on the building. Gonna finish the top and bottom, and make it look more like wire frame. I definitely have a Tron theme in mind as well, I think the trick will be to try and make things 'glow' with brighter/neon colors. I'll fiddle around with the tile set and see if I can get a more 'Tron' feeling.

[EmilyAnnCoons 7]

This actually looks like a pretty cool idea. I actually have my own character sprite, so I'll give it to you

 

As for my character...hmm...well, I'm known for being a "honey badger" which basically means I don't care about much (that's mostly do to me having Asperger's I think...I could be wrong...). Because I don't care about much, I tend to not care what I'm saying either, so I'm known as being a very honest person...like if you ask for my honest opinion, I'll give it without a second thought, even if it is hurtful. I'm also Hypersexual, but I doubt you'll be putting anything like that in your game hehe

 

As for my class, either Healer, Necromancer, or Enchanter fit best, and out of those three I think Necromancer fits the least so ^^"

[Jon Bon 43]

Hey, whether it's condition based or not, straight truth is an asset. People who don't want to hear it, simply want to shroud themselves in half truths and convoluted lives. I operate in the same manner, I give people the straight and narrow, I have no time for sugar coatings, extenuating circumstances aside of course. I should have no problem writing for that type of style, heh.

 

Awesome thanks for the sprite, I will definitely use it. I appreciate the enthusiasm and I am glad you would like to have a character included.

 

As far as hypersexual goes, I can definitely include that theme, and keep it clean and comical, have you seen kids shows lately? Ha! But, specifically, would you say more in a, flaunt it if you got it manner ("Flirtatious"), or like a giggle when when you hear potential sexual innuendos?(example: "Ha, you said 'unit'.").("Coy")

I can definitely play off either/both in an appropriate manner, let me know if you have a preference.

[EmilyAnnCoons 7]

well...I'm honestly pretty quiet about it usually. I do kind of try to pressure other people at time into sexual things. I also love to write sexual stories ^^" In all honesty, I don't really pick up sexual innuendo from things that aren't meant to be it...I hope that helps.

[Jon Bon 43]

That definitely helps. I think 'Sensual' will be a great term to describe that aspect of your name sake, and I can definitely work off that. I haven't written your bio yet, but when I do I'll post an update here (if you want to write anything/add key points for your character at any time, feel free, as I notice you are a writer). Thank you for your time and consideration on this project, I really appreciate it, both from you and the other Legends members. I hope to have something you will all be proud to have your name sakes star in.

 

Update:

Nothing major. I found a nice neon color palette and swapped the colors out, the tileset looks much better now. I am going to add more detail and create some environment objects and post a new concept screen shot when something worth commenting about is available.

I have started thinking about scripts in the back of my head, and once I get a solid start on the tileset I will begin testing scripts and asking for suggestions etc.

[Jon Bon 43]

Update:

 

I went over this site and picked the scripts from our members that I think will apply nicely to the game. I added them above in the gameplay section but will list them here too for ease. Comments are welcome as I still have yet to pick a combat system.

I also have the basic concept for the tileset colored a little better, and put a small touch of detail into it. I have yet to make environment objects, as I am waiting until I am completely satisfied with the look and feel of the tileset. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like now, comments are more than welcome, are needed, I want to know how it looks and feels, if people will think it matches the style of a 'computer world'. Remember this is still conceptual and I don't need comments on completion yet, I know the sidewalk isn't completed, and road merging center needs work, but I need comments on if the color scheme is working, or if it needs to be brighter or darker etc, design insight, rather then completion insight.

 

And here is the door in it's unlocked and open animation. There are also locked, and malfunction animations, but I didn't make a GIF for those.

 

I still have to make/find a color palette similar to this for the characters, but I am spending most my time on this project on the tileset for now.

[Bigace360 38]

I choose:

Which of the two combat systems do you think would best suit the game?

Turn Based (Side-view)

 

What kind of tilesets should the game use?

Custom/RTP (If you're making it completely like tron then maybe just custom, but if you have digital terrain then maybe you can use both.)

 

How long should average(rush through story time) gameplay be?

21-60 ( couldn't really choose between the 2 times so I picked a larger number.)

Sorry, I won't be releasing the Monster Book v2.0 today because I can't figure out this one ability window and on the main page. Also, if you need a menu system done, like I during that PM, you can sketch me out the scenes, so I can finish it in photoshop, and what you need me to code (to my limits ofcource). Atleast sometime in the near future.

Hey no rush on the script, just wrote those down to get a better feel for the game, likely be another month at least before I plug the scripts into a copy of rmxp.

 

As far as the tile set, I am thinking I would try to make the lower strip of sidewalk have a sort of electric glow that goes along it, and possibly on the building too. Sort of like a tron effect, and to emulate a kind of energy/data that flows through the system. Not sure how taxing that would be on the engine rendering it side of things, but I think I can pull it off and make it look kinda neat. Going to give that a try over the next few days.

 

Thanks for the input! I had planned on using Moonpearls animated menu script, since I think it'll fit the feel, but I have no problem going into talks with you about what I might need/want etc, I am more than open to a custom one etc. When the time comes I will let you know, and I extremely appreciate the offer.

This project is officially on development hiatus. Until I can either gain the skill necessary to draw what I need, hire someone who can, or find a tileset that suits my need, I must focus my efforts on other projects that I can see the endings of more clearly. I truly thought I would make leaps and bounds with this, but got creative block, and really can't make a visual representation of the game that is to my liking.

I estimate being able to return to this project no sooner then two months from now. However I could get a burst of inspiration between then and now, if so then I will return as needed.

 

I apologize to those members that are looking forward to this, but rest assured this project will not be forgotten, but has to be moved aside for the time being. I appreciate the support of everyone who was helping, and I ask that you refrain from posting a reply unless needed so this remains the last post.
