Since some people (me included) seem pretty serious about this, I decided to make a thread. If this idea gets off the ground, I'll get a site or something.

Can I be President of Special Projects?
Psy and I PMed a little bit about it. I'm on board, totally.
Story idea: The hero, NAME WE WILL VOTE ON, sets out on a quest to explore the world, meet new people, and destroy the Ultimate Evil!

I'm in support of this. I've got no skills that could help, so I'll just be a cheerleader
I'd love to do some of the writing, particularly in story and dialogue. I have no artistic talent, but I could try character design as well.
I have a secret knack for writing, particularly poetry and dialogue.
Seriously, ask me to make you a black dude in orange armour.
Character design isn't really necessary. If using 2000, just say "I want a black dude in orange armour" and that can be knocked out in seconds. Later RPGMs, you have to use whatever resources you can find.
Well, yeah. That's what I meant. Perhaps I should call it 'Sprite Choosing Guy' instead.Originally Posted by Psychotic
Oh, and Psy. I vote for a black protaginist.
I'd like to help with writing and concepts for towns and sidequests and stuff.
Including many more references to Star Wars, I hope!
By the way, I know every line in Episodes IV, V, and VI.
Regular guy, Regular guy AFRO edition, Regular guy hair edition, helmetted dude (who is still black underneath), Black Cape + Axe combo, Bearded, Sephirothed, Mohawked.
Easy.
imo, having people write up dialog and town concepts and passing them off to coders would be pretty annoying, just because you'd lose a lot of the hands-on spontaneity that usually goes into RM2k games. I'm all for giving concepts/ideas/whatever but if we try and make it too organized with everyone taking on abstracted roles it'll become too mechanical, losing a lot of the spontaneity that comes about in RM2k games.
I'm all for contributing ideas and artwork! But if you have something really specific in mind, it'd probably be best for you to just pick up RM2k and go to town yourselfIt's really easy to learn (I started my first game in it at age 12) and the more people we have directly making in-game content, the more content we'll have overall and the faster it'll all come together.
edit: I guess some of you might've missed the original discussion we had going in the BAoTW thread - here's some important posts to get the idea of what some of us were going for

You're using iDraw right Psy? Can I ask what type of this game is going to be? Right now it looks like it's going to be comical like BAoTW Forever.

imho it's whatever we want it to be. If someone wants to do a serious chapter, they can. If someone wants to do a comical one, they can.
Also, no I am not.
Yeah, I think the only constant should be the main character (unless two people organize to have someone stay on between their chapters). But you can do whatever you want, really. One person could have it be all medieval and then the next have it go sci-fi. As long as everyone discusses how their chapters will run into each other and have it transition decently, then it's cool!
I already have an idea for a chapter I'd like to do
How about we could do it DQIV style. Each person can have a character have their own chapter, each matching the character's style, while the characters team up for one final chapter. A suggestion. I also have a chapter idea coming along.
