Project RMW World

[Tai_MT]

Well, I figured it would be a while, and I was kind of excited to map something, so I started without ya, ha ha.  Sorry I didn't wait.  I'm notoriously impatient ^_^

It actually makes things easier for me, so don't apologize.

I am going to upload my map later even though I have it done now.

I've noticed a few places that you can walk off the grid (G-10 in particular). Is that intentional? Only thing I can think of is those lead to dungeons. And I may actually enter this soon, too.

Edit: I'll go ahead and take G-6, H-8 and J-3.

There you go. Updated.

• What do you wish to do with this game? Open world, non levelling,  (a little like D&D, only instead of exp, you get like currency to buy skills, etc)
• Would you like to have a character creation topic after this? Not character creation as such, more a set up for character creation, ie. race, gender, class etc
• What kinds of things do you want to see in dungeons? Everything! Battle, dungeons, puzzles
• Other ideas... Um.... Can't think of anything right now... but I'm sure I can come up with something.

 

[The Yank]

The game should definitely be open-world, considering how well all the maps fit together. There's a script by Tsukihime that can piece together all those sections into one continuous map.

Character creation should definitely be implemented, as is with the nature of most open world games. Dungeons should have all of the aspects mentioned before (puzzles, lore, etc). In terms of storyline, anything that works should be fine. Open-world games aren't really driven by story that much.

Other ideas: In-game books for lore, unique equipment in the various dungeons, multiple endings, fishing, crafting, ABS battle system, multiplayer (i know some of these are ridiculous ideas, but I'm just throwing them out for discussion)

A different thought I had: maybe split the map into regions, and have individual hero "campaign/routes" for each region, linking them together in the end? Sort of like Outlaws of the Marsh, eg. A hero for the desert, one for the frozen north, etc, all with their own story.

Really looking forward to how this turns out, wish I had time to join!

One interesting idea:   What if, when you complete major puzzles or boss battles, you get rewarded by being able to swap skills and/or hero upgrades.  For example:

"Thank you for returning the Golden Chalice.  Which reward do you want?"

1. ATK-20, MAT+15, MDF +10

2. AGI-20, ATK+15, DEF + 10

3. ATK-10, Learn Fire II

4. MAT-20, ATK+10, Learn Double Strike

The idea is you would swap skills and such, so eventually your hero would be completely different, depending on which quests were completed, etc.

Grid updated.

i would like to reserve a-4

Here's the Map A-4 base. Do not edit the bottom row.


Have fun!

Edit: I'll go ahead and take G-6, H-8 and J-3.

Here's the map bases for each map you have requested. They're adjacent to other maps so you'll have to keep those rows intact. Whatever rows are already existing, they need to stay that way. Cool? I'm sure you'll be fine.


Here's a project file containing the 3 maps.


Have fun!

So far, everything has been going superbly. I love PC's maps, and yes she has been going on a bit of a power trip, but it's a wonderful thing and I need to see more of it. Panda is providing some variety in the maps, which is awesome. I like slimm's attention to detail.

One thing is that i would appreciate if there was no magic involved at all in this game, as it is against my religion. I think we could kind of stay away from magic and sorcery yet the game can still be fun.

 
I think that will be an interesting concept. Are you OK with portraying magic as evil and manipulative? Because sometimes you have to portray an evil in society and perhaps the evil can be magic in this game?

I've noticed a few places that you can walk off the grid (G-10 in particular). Is that intentional? Only thing I can think of is those lead to dungeons.

When I created that map, I didn't even know it was going to turn into a game. Or if it was even going to take off. But it has, and I'm grateful to all of you because of it. Perhaps it can be a dungeon. I didn't plan it that way, but it could work.

Dammit, in retrospect I should have made the world spherical. As in, C-1 connects to C-10, and A-5 connects to J-5. That'd make it even better. Oh well, perhaps we can add an outer border of maps to make it 12x12 (way later on), and then wrap it around the edges. I think that'd make it REALLY innovative. Perhaps after we have a completed game and want to expand it a bit... (it's in the "pipe dream" category).


@The Yank All of these ideas are brilliant. I will definitely be looking at them in the future. You can still join though! All you need is to build a 17x13 map with the maximum of about 7-14 days. Shouldn't be too hard! ^_^


@whitesphere That is idea is so brilliant. I'll be thinking about this too.

 

[whitesphere]

Personally, I'm not OK with banning all of magic from a group project because of a subset of that group's beliefs.  

Some options:

In game magic has some types of permanent consequences, in game.    Sort of like the movie The Covenant, where magic users would age each time they used magic.  This would force the players to use magic strategically.   So, yes, magic is powerful BUT...

Maybe each spell cast has a chance of permanently weakening the user (such lose a percentage of MHP).  Eventually, this would leave the magic user so frail that he couldn't take 1 hit without dying.  Or, maybe magic use causes some other type of lasting damage (- to DEF, ATK or AGI).

Or, instead of magic, have those be a different class of attack altogether.  I have one character (a Bard) who uses his "MP" as Music.   His Music does the usual buffs and debuffs expected of a Bard.  And, he can play a Brown Note which is a group attack.  Really handy against hostile Bats and Wolves for some reason...

 

[Paladin-Cleric of Awesome]

Still don't see why we can't just have different classes and the option at the start for people to pick their own classes, that way if you don't want to use magic, you don't have to, and then if you do, you can.

Monsters and bad guys are monsters and bad guys, so their skills are just skills.

That fixes all problems.

I like that idea whiteshpere. Just re-name the term "Magic" to mean something else. In my game since i don't like magic, noah insted prays to god for healing insted of using a healing spell. There is also a script buy Galv that lets you have different names for  ATK DEF MAT MDF AGI LUCK, and stuff for different classes.

That actually can make for a more interesting RPG approach.  Your player cannot directly cast magic. BUT, if you follow a specific quest, perhaps god intervenes during significant battles.  This could be marked as "Blessed" for a nickname.  Conceptually, the game just invokes the blessing or attack, once, in the important battle.

Of course, this leaves in the option of having severe consequences for doing certain things (i.e. Samson) or becoming "Cursed" for doing other things...

 

[The Prince of Sarcasm]

We don't have to make the game specifically christian, the idea propsed by Paladin-Cleric of Awsome also sastifies me. Making magic Optional is a good idea to. But i also like whitespere"s idea too. Thanks for helping come up with creative reasons around my problem.

My idea is kind of like whitesphere's, just have somebody that does the equivelent of a mag without the magic. Such as maybee anurse that can heal the party and instead of mp she had fas, firts aid supplies, or something. Or a person who would normally buff the players attak with magic can instead inspire them with music. Getting the same effect as you would get with magic, just wotthout the actual magic.

Those poor unfinished houses... Can I have B-9 please?

 

[The Prince of Sarcasm]

here is a-4 i think Map002.zip

whoops just realised i din't put in the backgrouns picture, Oh well

Sure, here's the base for B-9.

Cool, I just added the BlueSky background as I think it looks nice. Also I added a couple of passability tweaks if you don't mind. You are now able to enter from the north and right faces of the cliff as well. I only connected the tallest peak to the north, because it'd be nice if we had as much "flow" going on as possible. Not as many dead ends.

Hope that's OK.

Maybe I'll make a couple maps, who knows.

 

[The Prince of Sarcasm]

that's ok, I can never eem to get the concept of this thing being a huge map when I am creating my tiny little map

 

[C-C-C-Cashmere (old)]

Yeah I made a few maps.


I-6

E-4

H-2

 

[Paladin-Cleric of Awesome]

AHHHHH!

Must lay claim to my missing map grid thing!

J-6, f-9, B-4

and I need a fourth to make it 20 maps total (because i'm a freak and I like even numbers ok?)

Suggestions please?

Edit: Lol... a tea house next to the fort... well, at least we know the soldiers are never drunk on or off duty. lol.

Edit 2: Just been squinting at the main map... are my two little tiny scout tents in the screenshot there?If not, you may want to copy my Mapstuff.png across to tilesets again... Sorry...

 

[encapturer]

Things are going pretty quickly.

May I request F-2?
