RMVXA SCP Rpg?

[Jaeger0767]

Wondering how well an SCP based game would work in RPG Maker. Maybe is could be used as a theme instead?

I remember someone made an SCP based game for one of the Indie Game Maker Competitions. It was pretty neat. It all depends on how you approach it I guess.

What is an SCP based game?

@Jaeger0767, I just love SCP and I'd love to see an RPG Maker game based on that, but just like Jesse said, it all depends on the approach. What do you have in mind? Please tell us about your ideas.

@mlogan, it's SCP Foundation, a fictional corporation that stores anomalous (and often dangerous) objects or beings found all over the world, which are commonly referred to as SCPs. The most famous is SCP-173.

I am currently making one inspired by scp. Google singularity tactics arena. Might give you some ideas.

 

[Jaeger0767]

@TheNewSon I've always wanted to try my own take on horror. What I was thinking of doing, was having a story surrounding one person within the amomaly. Then switch the viewpoint from the outside of the anomaly to the Foundation. I wanted there to be a different dimension that an unsuspecting victim is chosen to go to.

The Anomaly itself is a diety that was formed when the Roanoke Colonists dissapeared in 1590. The main protagonist would wander through a hellscape. While the Foundation on the other side.

The Foundation would have direct effect on the hellscape by sending MTF forces inside and angering the Diety. MTF and the protagonist would have to escape while evading the demons and Roanoke cultists.

Ambitious? Hell yes. Will I complete it? Hard to say lol. Will I need help? Probably. Just wanted to bounce ideas around before I get to work.

@Jaeger0767 so it's SCP's lore plus Roanoke's? Now you definitely have my attention, because I love the mystery surrounding the Roanoke colony too, haha! Now the main idea sounds great, but what kind of assets do you plan on using to make that game?

 

[Jaeger0767]

@TheNewSon The assets themselves could be anything. I want the theme of this game not to be satanic, but glitchy. I honestly don't know how I'll pull that off, but I'm totally willing to dump money into custom tilepacks.

Vanilla assets could also work great too. When I say "Hellscape", I don't actually mean lava and red fleshy rocks. The scenery could be modern, yet off in a sense. Or I could do old timey log themed corridors.

But I for sure am going to have to pay/make custom sprites. There is no way to get around that.

 

[Jaeger0767]

I'm open to any criticism and ideas as well. :^)

The windowskin was a placeholder. It's already replaced.

I really like the heartbeat mechanic. I think it's kind of funny if you get to a machine to save, not only your character's heart rests. But the player does as well. The claustrophobic corridors are very accurate to a Site Facility as well. I really really like this.

Ooooooh I would love an SCP rpg. Although I would like one that explores multiple SCP's rather than focusing on one.
