The only reasons I have any faith in fan-made RPGs are Bob the Hamster, Montery Penguin, and the four Dimensions games. Otherwise, yeah, they tend to stink. Like Bob’s Game.

His whole job system thing makes me think of a mix between Final Fantasy V and Contact. Seems original so far.

Right.

Well, my original idea was to make this my first MMO game because I think most all MMO RPGs are downright pathetic in terms of their battle systems (i.e., click on enemy, wait until dead, repeat).

Mainly is I want to make a game with a job system where you don’t see mage, warrior, marine, thief. I want to see a team of mimes, librarians and bartenders charging into battle with a dragon.

A place where you could be successful in the game without even getting into battle once…

Anyhoo, I plan on getting to work on this as soon as I finish up the bulk of Smash Brothers Fisticuffs

Need homebrew for the DS that uses the stylus to make the sound battles really damn easy.

EarthBound in Counter-Strike: Condition Zero (Deleted Scenes), anyone?

I always thought it would be interesting and funny to hack EarthBound, and replace the chosen four with evil characters, and buzz buzz with a tiny little giygas face or something.

The evil chosen four would be

New Age Retro Hippie
Cranky old Lady
Annoying old Party Man
Crooked Cop

And, obviously, they would set out to stop the real chosen 4.

A while ago, I tried to make a Tablet Adventures fangame… didn’t go too far due to an inability to understand how Game Maker works. If anyone else who actually knows how to work with Game Maker or RPGMaker wants to pick it up, I guess they can.

Uhm… I have some feedback here, along with some criticism (hope you don’t mind that).

I barely speak English, so I have problems with your… imperfect English. So, let me know if this is this:

Porky’s minions are trying to somehow use PSI Rockin, PK Love, and 4th-D Slip to free Porky from the Absolutely Safe Capsule. To obtain the ability to use them, they are trying to kidnap the magypsies, and resurrect Giygas and Claus. After they resurrect Giygas, chaos spreads around the world. A boy from some place called Beaver Land needs to go to the Cave of Summoning to summon the 12 of Legend.

Maybe you could have elaborated a bit more. I mean, how are we supossed to help you?

Now, I'm assuming that you haven't finished Mother 3 yetIn Mother 3, the magypsies dissapeared after the needles were pulled. How can the magypsies be kidnapped then? If you haven’t cleared Mother 3 still, I recommend you to do so.

Now, I think I know (sort of) who are these “12 of Legend” you are talking about, but this “summoning” sounds strange.

Finally, with Andrew, I highly recommend drawing whatever is on his shirt with the proper position and size, and in pixels. And try to use black borders in the hair and the cap. I also suggest making him more original, removing that cap and trying to give him an original hairstyle so he doesn’t look like a Ness recolor.

Well, there are some things that I don’t quite understand about your idea, so please post again so we can help you.

Also Dr Ardonuts (did I spell that right?) has a big part in this story

Oh, some other little things:

1.- I forgot to mention that you shouldn’t post bmps. Try to save sprites as pngs if you want to upload them.
2.- You almost spelled it right, but it’s Andonuts.
3.- Don’t double or triple post. It’s not against the rules or anything, but editing the post is far easier than posting multiple times. You can do so by using that yellow paper icon in the corner of your post.
4.- Try to make your game’s story more consistent. It has a bit little weak points but it’s still in brainstorming so, I will not go into that now.
And most important:
5.-

how are we supossed to help you?

Sorry double post is there any projects that are like mine?

Well actually I am part Mexican but Unfortunatly I am the opposite I barely know spanish and for that I am sad also I mean has someone done this already and finally how in the world do you work RPG maker

Afen:

I barely know spanish

o_o Wow. I thought it was the exact opposite (no offense intended but your grammar is not very good).

Afen:

also I mean has someone done this already

I still don’t understand what are you trying to say. :|

Afen:

and finally how in the world do you work RPG maker

I know how to use RPG Maker, and with Capn Muffin’s Starter Kit (still a work in progress), it would be even easier. However, I’m a perfectionist, so I would probably end up taking over your project, and we don’t want that to happen. I can’t help you.

RPG Maker is very, very easy to use, and I sincerely think that you wouldn’t have any problem. And if you have one, you could just search for tutorials or something. This question is too vague; I think it can’t be answered properly.

Oh, some other thing. “Huevón” is not a nice word. Not a swear, but it is a ugly world anyway.

Uhm… I’m pretty sure that there are a lot of better words for that.

By the way, I still don’t understand what are you trying to say with this:

also I mean has someone done this already

Nope. At least not active projects. “Crossover summoning” is a weird way to say it, though. But I don’t see why would it matter.

Aaaannnnd a back.

I don’t really like any of those ideas, so I opted out. Sorry Phones, but without much more info, those ideas don’t sound too good.

I’d be more than happy to give feedback with more info.

I would prefer “The Soul of Dallam”. I think it would be interesting to explain Poo’s backstory.

I have an idea that nobody seems to have done. is this any good?

so Gordy (name pending) is living in the year 200X, and attends Snow Wood Academy. at the beginning of Summer vacation, he is taking a plane ride home to Threed, but his plane nearly collides with a metallic chrome ship which is plummeting to the Earth. back in Threed, Gordy’s mother tells him that the ship crashed on the west side of Grapefruit Falls. since it’s summer vacation, Gordy is finally free to explore and have fun, so he checks it out (oh yeah, Gordy sometimes thinks to himself, which separates him from the other protagonists from the official games) and so he goes to Grapefruit Falls, but he has no idea on how to cross, then, he sees a sign and reads it, the sign tells that a historical marker is behind the waterfall (the people recognize the events of EarthBound as a historical event and recognize it as such, and so signs are posted throughout EagleLand wherever famous battles were held) and so he goes through the factory where the Saturns were enslaved. he then finds that a cave has collapsed that opens up a new path across the river (and covers the door to Saturn Valley) so he finds the wrecked ship and, accompanied by a lost Mr. Saturn, explores the ship.

oh, this is probably a wall of text, sorry.

inside the ship, he finds the tomb of a human, and through a few more series of events, finds out that Giygue’s race has come to Earth (only now learning of his defeat, seeing as the planet was supposed to be destroyed by now) to finish the job. Gordy then starts his adventure around the entire planet (and maybe the alien home planet?) and finds a way to travel with the 3 greatest heroes (Ninten, Ness, and Lucas) and stop the alien force at last.

The spritework seems to be impressive! I’m interested.

No good at programming, but I’m a good spriter.

Reconstructed Dragon:

Just a question… Has this fangame MAYBE something to do wit. Mother 3 spoilersthe White Ship? Because I’m pre-planning a game like this
Well, but this looks really good. I like the style you use for spriting. Keep it up

White ship?
I take that has something to do with the White ship which came to nowhere islands, But no it does not have anything to do with mother 3. I want to make it like Earthbound mainly due to the fact that mother 3 only had two towns whilst earthbound had loads.

EpicNintendork:

No good at programming, but I’m a good spriter.

I need somebody to make the backgrounds and enemies if you can do that?

Since this project seems to be in the idea stage, (no programmer or screenshots) I’m going to merge it with the Brainstorm Central topic.

Game topics must follow the guidelines set in this topic. Once you’re to a point where you can meet those guidelines, you can post a new topic for your game.

I think this is the right thread. I just want to babble off two ideas that have been plaguing me but will probably never come to be because I haven’t the skills for making a game ( coding and graphic editing and the like ) …So don’t read my post if you don’t want to read nothing but a daydream.

As lame and overdone as it probably seems, I’d like to see an EarthBound platformer. If I were to do this, I’d hack Super Mario World, give it completely and totally new levels, with EarthBound-ish settings, enemies, items, and power ups. Mario Luigi and Yoshi would probably be replaced with Ness Lucas and Baby Drago. I don’t know if I could think of anything for each power up, enemy and Boss though. Probably random PSI and MOTHER enemies, and the final Boss could be an original one, neither Giygas nor Porky. Although they could both be featured in the game some how. Maybe. Story would probably be something involving time warps or something. I guess. Of course since it would be a SMW hack… the ending and opening would be limited to copies of SMWs.

It’s really nice to think about. Somebody could do it. But I probably cant. I can’t even figure out the SMW level editor I downloaded.

The other game I like to think about is an EarthBound themed Mini Game collection designed for 1 player. Getting the high score is the goal here. …. I started dreaming about this game after playing a Mario Fan game called New and Tasty: http://www.mfgg.net/?act=resdb&param=02&c=2&id=16573
Unlike most Fangames, they don’t attempt to make a clone of SMB, they take characters and environments from Super Mario games, and the feel, and music, and make a fantastic collection of Minigames that allow for you to post your high scores online ( or something. The computer I play it with doesn’t have internet. )

I would LOVE to see this concept applied to MOTHER… But uh. Based on the credits for New and Tasty, it looks like it took a great deal of effort, so not just anyone could make this.
Again, it’s really nice to dream about.
