Too big.
oh right... my Instant Messenger name... I'm Kryton87 on Aim. Just send me an IM if I'm on, and if I'm there I'll respond... I have a tendency to leave it on like, 24/7. But that does mean that if you IM me and I'm not there, I'll get it when next I check my computer.
The project that was awesome, has fallen apart... oh well.
I just told my friend about it, and he wanted to see how far this goes before Namco sues you
I LIVE!!!!! AGAIN!
What I mean is exactly what you mean I believe, I can set up a private on my invisionfree powered message board only visible to us, the staff, so each department has an area to discuss their idea, and the departments submit ideas to other departments, it's virtual staff room of sorts.
sounds awesome! Can you send me a link when you have that set up?

That is true. He's usually on by now.
Well, um...How about names? OH! That Organization cold be called The Sanctum!

Well, so far, I've been pretty impressed with Ravur's leadership ability.
I think it's great to see a team working on something together and hopefully a superior product will come from this as opposed to games that are rushed because of time constraints from only having a limited number of people working on it.
With that said, however, I strongly urge all of you to put the most into each of your areas. Story writers, make sure your plot makes coherent sense and isn't too cliche (like mine). Music writers, take the time to make an in-depth moving score. Spriters, whip some graphic ass. With so many people working on one project, you should be able to spend huge amounts of time on critical areas to make sure they're "perfect" instead of rushing and trying to force everything together.
With that said, also try to come up with standardized practices for each area. If one writer has an idea and it gets shot down by everyone else, don't shove it into the story anyway because, in the end, the plot will end up with too many unfinished tangents. Make sure everybody stays consistent with everyone else.
Ravur, and all other team members, I hope this project comes through and I hope you know that I hold the highest expectations for this game.
The Sanctum...the question is how many times it's been used in a game. We need to think if we want this game to have one fixed ending or multiple endings. Alternate final bosses for each ending if we go with multiple endings, in other games, multi-ending games make a habit out of the same final boss for each ending, change it up depending on which side of the main character leans.
oddler, you have some good points there, even the best and best thought up RPGs that are even officially sold games like Final Fantasy can end up with alot of loose ends.
Well, I think multi-ending would rock. Like, the player could join The Sanctum or the good guys, whatever their cliche name is.

I read this and laugh. I have been working on this already for a couple months, and still work just as much on it now then i did before, if not more-so. Before I had my own time to do this, but now I need to be on top of it and telling people what needs to be done. Now, while Im doing something, someone else can be doing something else. We are working on it together, I wanted everyone to share my vision in a game, and I knew it would be fun. Therefore, your right, its not just my game anymore, it is everyones who wants to help. I still have the say in how I want things to progress, but the way they are done is by the members of the team. Now if you would be so kind to not post in this thread if your going to give negative comments that would be great. I have actual members of this project I need to reply to often. In the future I will ignore anything negative posted in this thread from a random poster.Originally Posted by Goldenboco
I am browsing through the thread and wondering if I was in the right one lol. Glad to see people communicating, and if I am not around, I am most likely studying or on campus, I am in college.Well you guys seem to be getting the story. I'll add what I had in mind, heheh, then we can build if you like it.
Introduction
Mysterious naked man shows up with a sword beside him and a tattoo on his arm. This can be a few hundred years to thousands of years in the future. What I thought of was the legendary heroes from the past were given the power of a dying "god" or guardian you might say, as a final gift and power to defeating the Evil Guardian or "god" (name for this would be needed too, guardian is used alot...) So they recieved power from the "light guardian" which is now dead, so they could stand up to the evil guardians curse.
The Evil Guardian (Needs name): A lifeform set on a far higher plain then humans. He was sealed by the Light guardian centuries before, but was awoken which forced a band of heroes to team up with the light guardian who watches over the world to once and for all end his threat on the world. He seeks destruction, and chaos. He can possess any human and take control over them.
The Light Guardian (also needs name): A lifeform set on a far higher plain then humans. Loves life and supplies the world with prosperity.
The Curse: The Evil guardian can curse anyone that comes in contact with him, which shows up as a tattoo ( more as a brand ) somewhere on the victims body. With this the evil guardian can possess anyone with this curse. The light guardian gives the heroes the last of her powers to protect them from this curse in the fated battle of the past.
Now as for the outcome. The hero, naturally, goes to finish him off after the battle, but is struck by the evil guardians blade as a last resort and creates a vortex like black hole that eventually left a scar in the guardian world. The hero is pulled into the vortex forced by the Evil guardian, along with everything else in the area. The other comrades were believed to escape the disaster, but were never seen again shortly thereafter...
The world was free from guardians and was at peace for many centuries thanks to these brave people.
Now back to the present, lies a naked man, with a tattoo and a huge blade. I thought this man could be in fact the hero that was impaled, but at the same time not him. The flow through the vortex caused everything to compress, some things just dissappeared, and as for the hero, his body was dead from the impalement of the evil guardians sword. But the power that the light guardian gave him still lingered inside his body. The power evolves through a long period of time in the vortex and takes over the body creating a whole new conscience, reviving the old hero but not his soul. The old hero is dead....( I think, heheh ) The sword that is by his side is the Evil guardians sword, and will be used by the hero of this story(thought that was kinda cool). And the tattoo waaasss....the mark of the evil guardian.
The sword changes its color after the hero of this story uses it, since the power of light that resonates his whole body makes the sword less evil and wieldable by our hero.- Which I named Grand Cleaver
Now throughout the story the hero is constantly being tormented by flashbacks of pain and suffering, and hears a voice in his head every so often. I thought this could be the Evil guardian still clinging to life by the curse on the hero's arm. So the hero would have the power of both light and dark guardian. But suffers greatly from the burden. I think this would make the hero interesting since he is the only living entity left of the "guardians". "Born from Light, Living in Darkness"
Now this is something i thought up, and needs to be worked on, feel free to build and tweak, or think of something totally different. But this is what I want to aim for
Some questions to think about:
-Name of the "Light and Evil Guardians." ex. Life guardian and Death guardian, they could be gods, one good and one bad with names, etc...
-How did the Light Guardian die?
-Villian in the story: ex. Someone also with the same tattoo and is completely insane, someone searching for the power of the guardians, etc...
-What is the real threat in the game?
-What has the world been like with no "guardians."
-How is the hero significant in this plot?
-What happened to the legendary heroes?
-Is the guardian world erased from history and no longer exists?
-Who was the hero that was pulled into the vortex? ex. A prince of a kingdom? A do gooder who just loves helping people? A merc, thief, or a blacksmith?
-Do people pay tribute to these heroes somehow?
The possibilities are endless. Really think hard to make the story make sense, as I will be too. Give eachother suggestions and feedback.
The idea of a chat room thingy would be great for the story writers btw! A very good way for me to communicate with everyone at once.

the only issue I have with this, is that this guy seems a lot like Cloud. Why does he need a massive sword? Why not like, a Katana? or a normal size sword? maybe like a flintlock pistol or something? or how about maybe an axe, hammer, or some other such thing? Oversized swords in my opinion have been overused.
heh... he could weild a Katamari... heh... or maybe someone else could.
The project that was awesome, has fallen apart... oh well.
