The Nitnit Super Ultimate Pro RPG (Working Title)

[nitnit]

Ok, so I decided that I must create the greatest RPG ever. Due to the scale of how awesome it will be, and how lazy/slow I work, it could take over a couple years to make.



Obviously it will be freeware to avoid lawsuits. It will feature numerous classic 2-D sprited gaming icons. I'm hoping to have upwards of 60 (maybe more?!) player characters.


Ideas:


- Threat Based ATB system. So, I like the active time battle system a lot, but I've always hated how in RPGs the monsters tend to just attack randomly. I'm going to have to implement a threat system (like WoW's) to allow for awesome strategies.

- Epic story. I'm talking a cross over with hundreds of villains. Have fun trying to fight both Kefka and Magus at the same time! (don't worry, you'll be able to get magus on your team later on)

- WoWesque equipment system. forgoing the soulbinding and whatnot, I'm thinking that using a cloth/leather/mail/plate system would be pretty advantageous, and I'd throw in some character specific items of course (only samus can wear power suits...)

- Numerous game worlds. Remember the end of time area in Chrono Trigger? Well it's going to be used as a hub where you can travel across the gaming multiverse. Locations from all sorts of games will be featured. After saving the mushroom kingdom, head on over to the world Street Fighter Tournament and foil M. Bison!

- Varying party sizes. Depending on the situation you will be able to use a party size varying from as small as 1 character, and as large as a small raid (10 characters)

- Multiple Endings. After you beat the game's normal final boss, you'll have to go back to every game world and fight it's hidden boss. After beating all of those you get the fight the amazing final boss (want to find some way to be able to let the player use all their characters against it)

- Mass Effect esque skill system. I like mass effect's skill system. It allows the player to customize their characters like they want. Want Peach to be an offensive summoner, or a healer? Maybe you'd rather have samus as a tank instead of an all out attacker. You decide!

- Original game soundtracks. Not exactly sure how to compress music files, but the game must have the classic songs/sounds, and music that synchs flawlessly with the cinema scenes.

- An online multiplayer battle. Is your friend bragging about their epic geared party of final fantasy characters? Fight them with yours! (Would have to do this client based since I don't own a physical server)



any thoughts/ideas? I'd probably do it in the latest version of GameMaker (full "registered" version)

It looks to be either epic or just something that would be awesome to watch.I get all my game concepts from dreams though.One was about this mirror maze or something...and these creepy evil little girls that came out and stuff...I still has the nightmares DX  

[Magonarka-2]

it sound like it would be epic when it finishes. 1 thing though what about travel powers like in CoH- flight, teleportation or in WoW- mounts to traverse zones. question  

[Raike99]

This sounds really epic.
Add Megaman stuff kthx.
Btw, you should look into death penalties.  

[nitnit]

Well obviously there would be megaman stuff. There probably won't be any real need for mounts, but I'll look into it.  

[Magonarka-2]

what about weapons and currency? (is it going to be a loot system like WoW)  

[Korean Kracker II]

will gold farmer be allowed, i know its illegal, but just to mix it up a bit blaugh

Using the magic of multiverse travel, your money will magically convert into the local currency =P

The loot system will be similar to WoW, yes.

Multiverse reminded me more of Kingdom Hearts than of Chrono Trigger.  

[nitnit]

How? That term was never used in KH or CT. Either way I'm still using the CT end of time area as the network place.

Nope, but the transporting from world to world is similar. Just me.  

[nitnit]

Ah, well in that case yes, it is similar to the world traveling concept of KH.
