Do any of you have trouble coming up with them?
Here's the thing: I'm working with an abs engine on my main game, and I'd like to make something short and RTP for practice. But...Dude, seems like every idea I come up with is some huge, multi-dungeon epic. The "small" ones are like 10 hours long. And even my short ideas end up fleshing themselves out into long ideas, it seems. I can't be the only person this happens to.
Hence, this thread. I've finally come up with a few things, but I could always use more ideas. I'm sure you could too!
So let's share! I mean basic ideas, not the exact character specifics. That way, we can all use them as inspiration for our own short works.
I'll start:

I'll start:
- A game in which you are a monster hunter and your little sister has wandered into a monster-filled cave while looking for you. Go in, solve the dungeon, kill the boss, grab the kid, yahtzee. A single-dungeon rescue mission.
- A game in which you are a kid trying to find your cat, which has wandered off. Go around town asking about it. Some people may want you to do things to help them before they'll help you. A short plot of many small, almost side-quests.
- A game in which you're a young guy trying to find a date for a festival. Go around town talking to people, find a girl you like, and win her heart. Do this by doing favors for her and talking to her, even giving her presents. Maybe do tasks for other people in order to get help or advice. Use a timer system so you only have a week to get the girl. A somewhat longer project with a nice dating-sim mechanic.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
