Alright, this is TOP SECERT... but feel free to join in with suggestions.

Me and IP are planning on making a new RPG system from scrach, one that will own every rpg out there.

Some features:
  • Attempt to be as graphical as possible, although it may not be all the time.
  • Have different worlds to visit?
  • Trade (become a merchant, buy from merchants on different worlds. Make a monopoly of merchant stores, plus there will be normal ones smile.gif)
  • Party mode. Different members (maybe 4 in a party max.) As long as the user stays active on the RPG for at least 1 attack/click/whatever every 5 minutes, he/she will remain in the party.
  • Independant attack cycles (mainly for party mode).
  • PvP
  • Party vs Party
  • Multipule characters allowed per account. You are additionally allowed to use minerals with each account however you want.
  • Different character types (be a hydralisk, marine, zealot, etc) with different skill attributes that you must change. Diablo style.

Wow you're really getting into this...
I was just throwing that possibility out in the open just in case we ever run out of work smile.gif.

I don't see how we can make different worlds and such. I was thinking if I could actually make a world but I don't see how that's possible until I learn more javascript or something. It's was mostly going to be a super advanced zerg pets thing. One player per account (yourself).

Edit ~ More over, if we actually did the image thing (and you made the images wink.gif), multiple races = a censored.gif load more images. Right now, for a profile / in battle look, a character would be poised in a certain fashion. After that, you can take that character and use him as a background layer and draw whatever on him. After you finish making, let's say armor, look good, the background layer could be hidden and then save the image and you have an armor render. The script would take whatever armor/weapons/ etc the person is currently wearing and overlay them all with z-index css, much like the menu script is done. "Forums \/" has a z-index of 25... the background of the menu has a z-index of 50, and the actual links have a z-index of 100.

However... knowing a player's armor and stuff could allow you to change your characters armor and such pre-battle. Perhaps you will have the ability to change it mid battle anyways. I don't know.

Independant attack cycles

Do you mean like attack cool downs?



I was thinking of doing it like Diablo 2 style where weapon's can be imbued with attributes like elemental (fire, ice, lightning, posion). Perhaps though, we could do starcraft-ish?
Melee: Various toss swords.
Range: Terran guns.
Spells: Things that are already in the game. Heal, dark cloud, blind (lowers accuracy), etc... but that would take away some extra things like armor having elemental resistances. Maybe it can be a merge of two worlds.




Before I would even consider this, I have another secret game in the back of my head I want to do for sen smile.gif.

Lol, maybe we can make secert locations smile.gif

Anyhow, I could maybe put my flash skills to use by adding some animations when you switch weapons... but lets actually get a system working.

Okay, so the offical beta testers will be anyone who has access to the staff forum I suppose. Please dont tell anyone about the existance of this RPG kk thx.

I thought it was an awesome idea to do an rpg... im game.

Well, I suppose you just walk around and stumble into battles. No real javascript required.

Multi characters isn't that hard either. Have a table for em, ibforums['rpgcharid'] is set to the one that the individual is actually active with.

What is the world going to be rendered with then?
This was primarily meant for people to battle each other.

Just make sure you make things like that optional. I don't want to feel like im playing a FF game where i can't turn off long summons.

This is great, I never thought the both of you would do something so big.

if you guys let me I'd be willing to write storylines and quests and if someone else wants to work with me, I'd be more than willing to work with you.

I already got a quest based on myself.

Between the (U) Plains, SP Lake and Yoshi Ville is a hidden location called BeeR_KeG's Sanctum. It's a secret place so it should be hard to find and difficult to get to.
BeeR, being one of the most skilled Warriors in the land(Global Mod power, DLDB Keeper Ownage), but very weak in using Abilities and Spells(Lack of .php knowledge, and C++ Knowledge), has lead himself and his warriors into battle with an inmense army(DLDB spammers, Forum Flamers and Spammers). You will need to restrain the enemy from killing BeeR(In this acse grounded) until SEN's superior forces arrive.

Where is isolatedpurity's place?

How will this be moderated? We need to make sure no one abuses the system.

We'll see. Maybe it'll be a simple grid based system, or something like that.

Dude, people don't know about that yet. tongue.gif

I don't really think we need an RPG. This is a StarCraft mapping site, lets keep the bandwidth where it belongs.
