Project1

Welcome to my latest project.

Made in RPG Maker XP, Project1 is the result of the misguided efforts of an amateur game developer (I'll be playing this role.)
Obviously, that sucks. Who would play that? But how do I make it better?


Now, the actual game here is, *surprise* not the game itself, but this very thread.

Please, offer your suggestions and requests, and I will do my best to fulfill them. However, to keep this manageable, and fun for me, let me provide a few simple rules for our little experiment here.

Request guidelines (rules):
Your request, and the function/feature you are requesting must be work-safe.
You must make your request/suggestion in 6 words or less. (You can add commentary with no limit, as long as it is not related to your request.)
The actual interpretation of your request is ultimately up to me.
Your request must be relatable to video games (not "make my laptop do jumping jacks")

And a couple out-of-character hints:
The larger your request is, the more likely it will arrive as something other than what you expected.
If a conflicting request is made, and I don't like it as much as a previous request, it will be put to a 24 hour poll. Ties will be broken in favor of the most recent request.

At this point, I intend to fill every request, which should be reasonable unless this really takes off (which isn't going to happen.)

So, let's make a game. I await the first requests.


Changelog

[Ellie]

This is a really interesting concept! Look forward to seeing how this plays out. I'm not sure what you're after, but I'll give it a shot.

> Other characters follow the player around

 

[aphadeon]

Updated. Next!

Sorry that took a whole 9 minutes. I kinda stumbled on the actor class.

 

[Perihelion]

An interesting, well-written story.

 

[aphadeon]

Updated - added an interesting, well-written story. Good idea!

Keep them coming!

 

[Byron]

Make a camp/androgynous male villain.

 

[Jason]

That has two chickens as bodyguards

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

The main character is a girl.

 

[aphadeon]

All good ideas! I'll get them in after sleeps.

 

[Injury]

A small town, isolated from troubles.

 

[Injury]

And a tavern with a drifter.

 

[coyotecraft]

Exp for finding chests and items

the idea being you can fight or explore and either one will progress you through the game.

 

[aphadeon]

Updated! Great progress so far.

 

[Glitchfinder]

Add a custom script.

 

[Byron]

Make an interesting leveling/class system.

 

[Injury]

Make a resource harvesting system.

Not to really create items, but trade/barter/sell...Maybe you collect items and turn them in for exp?

 

[Injury]

Change the surroundings to a forest!

This island is starting to get a little weird.

 

[Sauk]

Main villain is (a) raptor wearing (a) monocle

Or that rooster wearing a monocle

 

[Nachos]

add flying space dicks unicorned gorrillas

 

[aphadeon]

Nachos is disqualified (RTFM, bro).

We have our first conflicting request: Sauk wants to change the villian. Vote in the poll, the villian's true identity will be determined in 24 hours (per the guidelines in the first post).

Remaining requests will be in after sleep

EDIT: It's after sleep, but something more urgent has come up. I'm going to have to put off updates for one day (but don't worry I'll have plenty of time to get caught up no need to stop requesting. I'll also be adding 2 new unrequested features.)

EDIT 2: I didn't forget you guys. I'm just very much involved in something big atm, so this comes secondplace to that. Again, you can continue to suggest/request. Also, looks like we're getting a chicken with a monocle as our antagonist. :D
