1. That is a tenative title.
2. Yes, this is an idea to ctreate a monster collecting/battleing game.
3. No, there will no be prefixs on all the gadgets like "poke-this" and "poke-that"
4. No, there will be no sufixes like "URGaymon" or "Stopexerscisingandplaythisgamemon"
What I want to make;
- A game where the player actually watches their character develop. (That means talking.)
- A game where the stats of a monster decide waht they turn into. (So not everyones Pleasent will turn into a tree. [No offense luke, I actually like that tree.])
- A game where there is an actual goal that is described from the begining, if ever. (What is a pokemon master anyway?)
- A game where just walking around is fun.
Features I hope will be included :
- Just around 70 obtainable monsters and 200 enemy monsters. I know, small compared to all gmaes like this, and the tentaive title is misleading
- Four stages of transformation, with mroe possibilities with each monster raised.
- A stunning skill list that makes any character look strong and worth not deleting.
Story idea :
This is porbably the last thing Pokemon and Digimon think about after 5 years of programing, but I put a tad bit of thought into this. Remember, I said a tad.
The player is a special kind of Officer, not sure what kind, but I'm looking for a word to fill in the blank in "Blank Officer"
Anyway his assighnment is Pokedex ish. Collect data on monsters. but he/she soon finds bigger things are going on in the world.
Gadgets:
Egg port (tentative name) Teleports eggs, found in the wild, to the hub.
After certain amount of time, the egg will hatch into an Infant stage monster, at a random level from 2 to 6. Each of these Infants will reach level 6 sooner or later, and when that happens, they turn into one of two Child stage. Other Child forms can be obtained by other means.
Each Child form can turn into a number of Adult forms, who can then turn into a number of Final Forms, the strongest, which means hardest to raise.
What I need :
A person to sprite the endless possibilities, i'll provide sketches and other sources for what I'm looking for
I'm handling most of the creative stuff and programing.
Hey, don't critisize the idea or my begging for a team. It'll be fun to play. Plus, all the games you guys are making can be made by one, two guys? Maybe a third does the music?
This will tkae a whole team. So what do you say?

If there is none, sorry, but good luck finding employees.

Not trying to be a dick, but that's really what it comes down to. Your ideas aren't bad, you've got a good place to start.
Post by: Brieg on June 02, 2008, 03:29:26 AM
Maybe if we all just stopped spitting on the occasional good idea, not to say we should spit in games like carpe Diem and waht not, but seriously guys.
Okay, sure I don't need like 5 people, and I don't need an sketches, but I could single handly program this entire game, but I need Graphics.
Dren you didn't even give me reasons as to why I wont find a team, so I got nothing to go on.

Lack of gifted and young people.
The good and gifted people these days have one of the following things:
Problem with school/needs to study shitloads
A girlfriend
A wife
Kids
A life
A job
Ans to sum it up, the people who could make an awesome game won't be able to since they've become less active on the forums and also more or less quit the rpgmaker bussines 'cuz they don't have the time.
That's just what I know from my own experience though.
And what Dren tried to say was that; an idea is an idea. But progress will show people that you actually have it in you to get far with this.
If you make some progress and let people know what you have so far and then make your topic, people are more likely to join you.

fishy: not sure what yuou mean by system.
Post by: shinotebasiiackh on June 04, 2008, 01:49:01 AM
....If you don't know what a system is and you're hoping to make a whole game, you're going to want to read up on some stuff before you get working. I'm not knocking you, I'm just saying. a system is what defines text colors, text box border style, background, selected text indicator, etc. It looks like this:
Post by: Brieg on June 04, 2008, 01:58:22 AM
Anyway I've been using rm2k since it came out, thne switched to 2k3. So yess, I know waht a system is. But given Fisherson's position on the team, I figured he meant something else, since spriting up monsters doesn't require a System graphic.

Battle party swicthing sytems and CMS.
Heres somthing that came to me as i was walking.
You are a Expeditionary Officer sent to a new planet in order
to investigate the local wildlife your mission is to catalog and capature
if possible some specimens for HQ
for analalisis.To do this you have been armed with a shuttle and a stun rifle
and a geneticly created monster perhaps?
Post by: Brieg on June 04, 2008, 05:37:47 PM
I did think about the whole other planet thing, but I scrapped the idea. Plus I've alredy mapped enough palces with ovbious human influances.
The mission of the hero is to collect and hatch eggs, not shoot up cute little monsters.
As far as what you asked about THOSE kind of systems, a custom menue will be used, but I won't get around to it until much later.
In battle and pritty much at all times, the hero only has one monster with him, and enemy parties rarely have more than three so its good. Limit break esque things would require to much. I mean, do you the spriter really want to animate 70 different finishing moves on top of the ones for all the normal attacks? Plus I could never code that.
what I really need help with is naming the monsters.

By the way, how are you going to do this? How are you going to code it? Presumably you'll need a CBS and a CMS... Have you thought about that stuff?

Moosey : unfortunatly, no, I wont need any of those custome things. Well, I am actually making a custome menu, but no battle. THe default one gets everything done. The only problem is that if a monster in battle is asleep or paraylzed, they're unable to heal themselves, so anoter character must do that, as in a traditional RPG, but with monster battles it is the owner of the monster who manages the items, somthing unable to be accomplished in rm2k3, which is waht I'm using. How to avoid this; don't ahve those sort of conditions.
Rocky : I don't need ideas for anything but names for the main ten started "child forms"
As for the ideas you gave me, they're basically pokemon ideas. I have everything as far as ideas for skills, plus, each form has a potential to turn into several other forms, except the Final form, who can turn into no forms, duh.
anyway, long story short, waht I really need is somone who can animate the sprites into battle poses and animations for attacking.
Post by: drenrin2120 on June 10, 2008, 12:34:19 PM
The only problem with this, and this is where the "If you can some how" comes in, is that you'd need to find a way that the trainer can't sustain damage from the enemies and is disregarded by the enemies. And another condition, game over if the trainer's monster dies even though the trainer is still alive. This might be easier to do than you think. Especially if you're making a CMS.
