"The Game", to avoid having my fingers fall off from typing to much, is a little something I have been working on and off with for the past year. First starting on Rpg maker 2k and a really stupid idea at work, I was about 3/4 of the way down when my computer crashed and lost everything. I was just about to give up on the whole blasted thing when I found out about Rpg Maker Xp. I liked the look and feel, so taking up my notes, I redid the whole the game. Even adding in more stuff than before. Exciting I know. So I do I quickly describe this endeavor? Think Excel Sage meets Suikoden taking place in Philadelphia. I will be back to check on feedback, ideas and suggestions about twice a week. Granted I work like a 60 hour week, but i'll do me best to take the time and read everyones thoughts.

The Plot

The year is sometime in the future long enough for most of the stuff in the intro to happen but not so far where people trek the stars and furry things reproduce better than rabbits.
Anyways, much has happened in this time, both good and bad, but mostly bad. War had taken the land  and it was fought between the two greatest powers in the world. The evil Chicken (read chick-fill-a) Empire and the Holy Taco (bell) empire! The war lasted for many moon, and the cost of life was horrid. When the dust settled and the land scared beyond repair, all that remained was the Island nation of Philadelphia... and the Evil empire of the Chicken. It is your job as the super sexy main character (aka me) to fight back and restore peace in the world. Good luck, you will need it.


So like I said, this all began with a rather silly idea at my work.

"Hey Hank you can program right?"   
"Yea..."
"You should make a game where everyone here comes together, forms a army, and defeat the stupid customers we get in hereâ€

The maps look kind of bad, with way too much open space.

 

[Lucofthewind]

That because of a special request for a friend, they don't like everything jumbled together, they like wide open areas.

 

[microninja]

WHAT?!? You have to try and think of a wider audience, the maps are far too bland and open, they are totally unrealistic, anywho, gud luk!

 

[zenrdy]

Microninja, Don't yell and if you are going to spell right please. And earthsong even with that he did have a point, The mapping is bad and needs to have more things bunched together. You can have a nice blend of Bunched and open space if that is how you really want it. The title screen is just the heads of artwork pasted upon kingdom hearts title, yes that is bad. Is this a parody game? Cause if it is the humor is not all that.

@microninja: After going over a few things, I did go back and pack a few more things into the maps so they are not so opens with blah in them. Hey and thanks, any luck is good for me ^_^

@Zenrdy: When I first started doing this, thats where the ss are from, I (like my friend), liked the wide open. Call me crazy, but yea >_< After a bit of play testing and after what you two said, I agree. I went back to the maps that had that "I'm to frigging big" feel and made them smaller. I also added a bit more of "Stuff" into them.  Also yes this is a pardoy game, which wasn't suppose to be released to the public at first. But I thought I give it a try and see what people thought. Who knows i might even get a few ideas (for example, better looking maps) Now where you refering to overall humor to what you saw or just the title screen? The title screen is really not ment for any humor at all, its just something that was throw together quickly because I didn't have one.

Not using this as an excuse, but this is my first game. What I think it cool, other people will think is lame and stupid, so suggestions are welcome!

I think me meant that he isn't seeing any good humour for the entire game, and I'd have to agree. The "Chicken/Taco Empire" isn't funny, it's just lame. But yeah, after reading the plot it just... isn't very funny. Having a personal vendetta for customers doesn't mean that you should make a game out of it.

Like I said before, some people will like it, some won't. If you don't like it don't play it. Simple eh? 

To clarify on a few things, this game is not all about some personal vendetta for customers.  Maybe the first minute as a side side story yes, but the whole game? No idea where you got that from. Perhaps you can point that out to me so I can correct it and other people don't get the same idea?  I should also probably have put this is situational humor and the fact this was never suppose to be release to the public, it was more of a "let see what I can do" type of deal.

I also plan to have a demo up soon (I hope >_<) so people can get a real feel of the game rather than just a bunch of text.
