I want to make a rpg but i dont know any good ideas. Can someone please give me a few ideas?

If you don't have any ideas don't make a rpg. It's not that hard to think of a cool idea, unless you watch tv all day and have no imagination. Brainstorm, brainstorm, brainstorm, your idea is better than someone elses.

just think of an old-school game story-line and change it a bit.
Not very hard to do.

Some rpgs came out and included many unique aspects. It will be very hard to dominate them.

Well, feiteng, that may be you, but I do know that I, personally, can think of all kinds of ideas and such and have a decent imagination... but it cuts short when it reaches storylines.

IceFire could be similar, in such respect.

Anyways, this depends, would you rather do a modern/fantasy/sci-fi Rpg, and if you want it to be riddle/battle/spell/something else based.

Story lines don't really matter in starcraft maps, but if you can't think of a half baked story line with a minor plot twist I feel sorry for you.

I think he wants something that's half original, and not stupid cliche boredom.

Here's a classic RPG plot:

A bad guy pops out for no reason at all
A hero(players) is born.
The hero goes through trials and fights and gets strong.
The hero beat the crap out of the bad guy who pops out, try to take over the world, and die to you for no reason at all.

Dont foget a huge 'GG' at the end!

Ive got an RPG idea...i dont know if its the greatest. I havent put much thought into it, and ive been trying to find time to make it myself, but im sure you are more capiable of doing it. So here it is.


It's way into the future...earth has just been taken over by the zergs. You and your dad are the only ones that has escaped the wrath of the zergs and now travel through the glaxies to recruit an army to take back your homeworld. As a CIV you control a goliath (in every map you have to take you CIV and upload the goliath) You come across a worthy fighting zealot that has his own rebel force. After confronting him he takes pity on you and your dad and tells you he can help your army and may be able to find more recruits, but it wasnt going to be easy. As he goes to this homeworld they are attacked and the zealot tells you that he is exiled from the homeworld. So after doing some bad damage to the homeworld the council decides to help you out. From there im stuck cus I want to add in more heroes and such but dont know how. So theres my idea. Use it, abuse it, i dont care. wink.gif

Always include something that sets your map away from those "Kill, Heal, Upgrade" RPGs. Puzzles work great, they add some challenge to the game. Maybe some side-quests apart from the main story. If you can try some cutscenes, throw in a good story, imaginative characters and you have a good RPG. Oh, and dont forget to balence the players. A game with a "9999 HP 255 defense 9999+9999 damage" 1P and a "1 HP 0 defense 1+0 damage" party characters isnt exactly good.

A puzzle RPG is always good. I remember someone making one but then I don't think he finished it. You could make it have like riddles, illusions, and traps of some sort.

How about basing your RPG on a pre-established franchise? Resident Evil, DBZ, Alien, Lord of the Rings, Diablo, and Gundam Wing are common ones. I've also seen RPGs based on Star Wars and Stargate SG-1. Try one of those out. Crossover RPGs using some of those franchises up there can work too.
