Castle Paradox

[Quinn]

My talents lie in plotscripting and story design and I can do a bit of walkabouts if I try hard enough.

When the time , comes you can help us make the Battlesystem , and of there are probably a few miniquests that you could fit into , but from what I can tell , we still don't even have the castle lay-out done , so well shall call on you later .

plotnot important... well did the banned dudes escape sound good?

I can do some walkabouts I suppose???

Sure , Make a walkabout of yourself (with you 16 palette , ready for importing ) , but dont send it to me yet.

[Shadowiii]

I'd be willing to contribute graphics, though I hardly think this well get off the ground considering...

The game is already on its feet , but the story is still in production . The way I see the game is Harvist Moon , not Final Fantasy . Aka the game has a story but It really doesn't matter that much . But thank you everyone for your suggestions . I'll give you a plan of how we're designing this :

Step 1:
Get the Castle actually built ( walls , doors , roo , ect )

Step 2:
Get the mini-games and systems(banning,challenging,ect) fully working .

Step 3:
Think about the story

Step 4:
Get the community actually in the game

step 5:
Tie up the story , get the seal of approval and away it goes .

Any questions ?

ok, I managed to come up with a 'plot'... I was hoping a calender system could be implemented and up dated as time goes by... I know the idea of a 365(or 366) day calender sounds like an immense task... but I have a skeleton script ready from another game... and i'm sure it can be tailored and what not.

"what has this got to do with a plot?" I hear you say, well I think the calender system would fit in well with the plot, for example all of the yearly contests can be taken consideration, random events could be set up every few days (to add replay value) and possibly members (mods)could arrange events and contests. Also there would have to be seasonal events, eg: the castle being decorated for christmas and whatever.

Also I'm working at the moment on a 'conversation' script, I'm hoping this would add an extra dimensions to npcs (after all most of them are members, real people). I'm currently just messing with a few 'if' statements, if anyone want's to help, or has any ideas... i'd appreciate it.

Send me on the scripts , I would like to see them .

[Quinn]

When you say 'conversation scripts' do you mean that when you talk to an NPC it says something different everytime?

no, what I ment was talking to an npc would bring up a basic menu system of some sort, (possibly with the characters portait) and you could interact with members from there, like in most rpgs it would be multiple choice... you could select various questions to ask and answers would be given. this would fit in well with the calender system as talking to members in this way could keep you informed on particular events and their roles in them.

because the game is about interaction and social standing .....look re-read the topic , thats all

[MultiColoredWizard]

Games don't need plots for function. They need plots so what you're trying to do has a point.
