Fable:[xp]\starter kit

[Kingdom Ablaze]

im putting together what you could call a starter pack for people who wanna make a fable style game:

the plot of the previous fable(fable2(included for those who want an idea of plot)):

Spoiler

(taken from the inside of the guide)fable 2 is a tale of a young hero's quest for vengence and the seemingly all-knowing gypsy by the name of teresa who harnesses this young conqueror's determination and gives it direction. theresa alone knows what it will take to stop lord lucien from erecting the tattered spire and she knows our hero cant do it alone. although they may be the anomalous fourth hero whom lucien didnt exspect, they will nedd the hero's of strength, will, and skill by their side nevertheless. the task of felling lord lucien and his world-ending tattered spire will require the strength of all four of these heros as sure as it will take many years and involve much bloodshed and many sleepless nights. but no matter how steep the price, the hero cannot afford the consequences of inaction. not for albion, and certainly not for the memory of their beloved sister.

-purity: both male and female, three levels of good and evil(thats 14 charictersets), plus the menu shows how many purity points you have instead of steps.

How purity will effect game play:

Spoiler

AS your charicter makes choices threwout the game, your purity becomes ether more good or evil. as you reach milestones, your charicters graphic will change to reflect your evil or hopefully good choices. as for what will be unlocked is up to the person in charge but for me it will be:some items can only be found if you are good or evil, alll the enemys will remain about the same, if not the same, maybe a few diffrent bosses,i hope to encorparate(sp)the idea of exspressions but so far im having issues with that

screen shots: there are two in this link not sure which to use, also i was thinking im gonna change the game status to game progress when im done, so that it will show what percentage of everything you have done is:

let me know what else is needed.

[edit]: my purity system is done, i made it myself and i like it. and i changed it to fable.

[edit]:as for details, i wanted other people to add them, i can edit my own system as i choose, what else is NEEDED is what im looking for...idk im crazy, but i promise to try my hardest to add what is needed just keep yelling at me, i get stuff done faster that way

This is the right forum, but you need much more information than that. At the moment you have your basic concept, but you need to embelish on your ideas. You have fishing, cooking, smelting; how will these work? For example.

How will good or evil affect gameplay? Will being good mean less things to do; different enemies to fight?

What will "purity points" do gameplay wise?

 

[Desecration]

Wow, I just read a thread like this it was linked in the rules thead. Want a link? I'm sure you do so here it is, http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=53649.0

Also as for Purity, Near_Fantastica did an amazing Personality Engine script way back when, that was used in a Fable Esque style game if I recall correctly, that would be a lot better than having lots of switches, character sets and such. Also I didn't know Fable had all those features? Fishing, Mining and cooking? I deffinatly dont recall them, that sounds a lot like another game which you deffinatly don't want to be taking insperation from. You are going to need a lot more than this, a whole lot more.

Sarcasm from you? The whole "You Sir, are and ass," is suddenly here to bite you in the ass.

But the before posters are right. A starter pack for fable would include things like the personality system. Posibly fableish style / themed graphics etc, not random ideas that you wish were in a Fable game.

Please also note, that if this is a starter pack you're trying to make, then the project wouldn't be Fable 3 would it? As by your own words, it's not a game project but a project that would allow others to make games.

Also, "the menu shows" have you done this yet? If so, please throw us a screen shot of your modification, if not, you might want to say that it's a work in progress and that you might need some help with the scripting side of the project in order to get it going.

In short: more detail, think about the game you're trying to emulate, it's key points and features etc and go after them, don't go adding your own.

bleh i knew i was bound for mistakes, but i promise i plan to sit here and fix every mistake you can find, i will add screen shot in one sec let me go take one....please continue to find problems for me to fix and stuff to add 

yours truly, the plague aka deathbethecost

edit:i might not be back on today, but please leave me aton of stuff to add when i get back, i want this to become a real thing and i keep drawing blanks on what i need

 

[The Map Helper]

Wow, this is pathetic.

1) Fable 3 will be released sometime in fall ( THE REAL ONE) So you can not title it Fable 3.
2) Omfg, I've tried making a version in VX, I gave up on it because the work load is unbelievable, gl.
3) Whats different on this then the actual game of fable? The purity system that changes the way other people react? Ugh, so not original, use your own imagination.

Seriously, you're quickly becoming one of the worst users on this forum please consult the global rules,  this thread on behavior expectations in all of the Project Development Forums, and this general faq which covers among other things a few reasons why we think you're a general blight on our board. And please make some kind of effort to improve your posting habits else we will have to take further action on your account. ~Mega Lenin

1)fable 2 just came out and it took 3 years to make, so no 3 wont come out soon, if at all
2)i dont care if you are a failure, thats not gonna stop me
3)other people were mad that i added other stuff so i took it off, its a starter kit so if some one wants somthing that is "non-fable" as i have heard it called then they can add it to their game. i want to add alot of other stuff, again to mine. THIS IS A STARTER KIT!!!!

p.s.your pathetic i asked for help, not discouragement.

In the future ignore flame.  The Moderators will deal with it.  Besides its obvious to anyone with half a brain that someone with a shitposter icon under their username isn't worth much attention. ~Mega Lenin.

Lmao P.S. I'm pathetic XD.?
Yah, some times the truth is discouraging, that is help, I am critiquing, what are you 7? If you can't handle the heat, get out of the FREEZE?? :P!

[Kingdom Ablaze]

that doesnt deserve a responce, ill wait for real help
edit:then again i seem to be the only one interested maybe your right, i will make for my own, why waste other time getting my post write?

I wonder where your shit poster title came from?

Anyways, good screen shot. I would probably change it to have a + or - then a number so if good +1 etc and bad -1, might be better for accuracy ranges.

Also, on techinicallity, one of those screen shots isn't yours. Im not sure but isn't that from the actual fable games? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Grab a crap load of screenshots from the games, like buildings, fields, characters, choose a template style and throw a request topic up there, you never know, you might get a minion army of fable fans willing to help out.

I mean, I liked the sister in fable one :p.

 

[Kingdom Ablaze]

yes, one isnt mine, i have one like it im working on, i hate jasc paint pro, but its all i got

also if u became neg, then it would infact show -50

template style? i hear that alot(sounding like a nooblet)what does that even mean? i work with xp alot, i just now am starting to use other peoples help. grab them and do what? sorry im confused what u think i should do

edit:removed the one that isnt mine, will add mine soon , now i see what you mean about the plus...ok will add soon

 

[The Data Mage]

Okay, template: A sprite (in game character image) base that a person can put clothes, hair etc on in order to make characters.

Do what with them? Compile them into a request topic over in resources (make sure its in the request subforum and read the rules topic before doing so) and get someone to help out make some tilesets (used for making maps) and sprites for your game. A little help is always handy .

They will ask for screen shots of what you want, so a huge slew of images for refference could do nothing but help you a lot

Examples of templates, the "Half-Kaiser" is a big template, "XPRTP" is the default style of sprite you get with the engine, "Breeze" is good for cartoony games etc etc.

 

[Kingdom Ablaze]

sweetness thanks, i am low on time today, but tomorrow i think i intend to do just that will add here

p.s. what i will do is put a link at top for what the 14 charicters look like
