Zone 515

[Neonlare]

Heylo guys, Iv'e decided to finaly make a game using RPG maker...

Ok, here goes...

You play the role of Magnus Laed, a travling Merc and Bounty Hunter in Space.
You recieve a Distress call from a passing by ship, you head onto the ship and discover that the crew have been attacked by a Space pirate Gang called "Geos Stigmata"

You report this to the Galactic Federation, along with the information youv'e discovered, to which he volunters to complete both one man and seige missions, across serveral planets...

There are many systems (act as Empires) across the void of the Universe, which include...


Lylat System (Yes the Lylat System)
No actualy this is a joke, this won't exist in the game, but this will...

Hildarg System (Alien System)

Gyrdal System (Another Alien System)

Tellos System (read above)

Sol-2 (The "New Earth" System)

Sol-1 (The "Old Earth" System, more of an outpost)

Colbat-5 (Another System, original this time)

Val'Halla (Resort of the Rich" and "Famous")

I'll come up with more as the game progressess....










Right, now onto something totaly different...

I'm gonna need help in making this, I'll need Character Set Makers
For the various Ship and people, Someone to help me code the battle system and character set animations (I'd like them with more than 3 frames) etc etc.


This is what I hope to offer...


Ship-to-Ship Combats (The likes of Gradius except top down)

Shoot E'm Up Action (Runing around in an 8 Directional Isometricish land Scape, blasting foes and solving puzzles)

Movement System which involves Mostly just the mouse. (e.g hold the right mouse to move around, click with left button to interact or fire, space bar to Jump?)

Multiplayer?

[Moosetroop11]

Sounds... cool. Heh. Geostigma... You've been watching too many FF7:AC trailers.

[DryadJam]

this sounds...a.... bit out of proportion.. Urm, first mistake, trying to make a game that involves movement of only the mouse, i suggest using the clickteam maker, since it specializes in said things.. As for asking for help, maybe you should wait until you have fleshed the game out more, all you have, it seems, is an intro and a few cluttered ideas. take a notebook and write the broad story from the beginning to end, then get some character drafts done, after you've done all that you can ask for help. I'm not trying to be rude im just trying to spare people from having to try and help someone on a game that may not prosper.

[Scarface Larry]

Thats a relatively new idea, part of this sounds like a perfect game for shooter maker 95, which I won't post a link to. Yeah clickteam would be good, one problem though, they cost MONEY, RPG Maker is mostly used because of it's freeness (is that a word?). And I partly agree with Dryad the grumpy, you should get your ideas straight.

[Neonlare]

lol, Dryad does have one major point, but I already have the story plotted out...

Well, it goes that the priates are secretly gathering up a [SPOILER] in order to [That'd be Telling] then [You'll find out Later] in order to [play it when it's finished to see]



well basicly you can swap your weapons with a quick select feature up to 5 maybe? And a Menu that opens up to see your character close up etc etc, where you can change your armour etc etc.

the best example of this is Baulder's Gate

[Lighting Half Dozen]

sounds cool. i wouldn't mind lending my help.

EDIT: I may note be able to do ships, but a had a similar idea...a few hours ago...so i made up tons of space pilots for mars earth adn venus( if thats what you want, tell me and i'll show,)

[Neonlare]

Great! well here's the desc. of the main Characters...

Magnus:
(Without Suit on)

Tall, Muscular, short White Hair (Chemicaly Bleached when on a mission) Left Eye Blue the Other Brown, missing his little finger on his right hand (lost in a fire fight)
He is both left and right handed.

Looks around 37

(With Suit on)

Alot like a mix between Halo and Mk 2, his helmet is a kinda flat arrow head shape that has air pipes (like what the Storm troopers have) from his mouth piece that go down and is attached to the back of the suite.
His Visor is a Deep Blue, and his arm Pads are triangular in shape.
His suit is much like Samus's except one of his hands are free (his left one). His right one however, acts like a futuristic Swis Army Knife, it can hack into systems, fned of enemies in hand-to-hand combat, or can act as a scanner to detect how badly damaged the enemy is.

It's just a hit of a certain key that locks on to an enemy, another to scan them ( you have to hold the button in )

Cerebus-5:

An Android Canine that acts as Magnus's assistant and offer's what I hope to have in, Co-Operative Play, has a blood red shell and no mouth, but out of it's neck there are two laser machine guns (not extremly big, they look like Rods, Serpent heads if you wish).
It offer's the main fire power in the game, but can not hack into systems and it's ammo can run out.

"Thor" (as it is called by Magnus) MkIII Hunter's Frigate:

This is a biiig monster, it's like a flag ship, it has around 25 Big Laser Pulse Turets, and 25 Big Rail Cannons (Laser's are faster but do less damage and can not penitrate Force Fields, where as Bullets are strong but awkard to use, do the fact it needs ammo more often and can not recharge. Most Bullets are destroyed by Heat Fields which melt the metal)

Seriously, about the size of it.

It acts as a major hub in your missions, manned by around 30 Androids (all with different personalities) His Partner and his Son, who is around 7, and a Human Alien Girl (her race is human, she's not from a known human colony though) they've nick-named Tellah...

Anyway, about how this behemoth looks like.

(Outside)

It has a long, Dark Blue Hull and the front end is fashioned like a wolf's head with it's jaw's open.

(Inside)

Looks like a miniture city, lots of droids running about in "Streets" that are fashioned in a Steam-Punk sorta Way, there's a Refill Station that restocks your ammo etc etc.
You can dock with planets to get weapons and armour, which you can swap when your inside your ship.

You have to spend money for the reloads when you land on a freindly planet, as reloads arn't infinate (unless you use purely Laser/Electric Based weapons)

Jeena:

Magnus' Partner, she's a little short, blue eyes and crimson selphie-like curly hair.
Wears a blue shirt and shorts most of the time, but does wear battle armour if the ship is under attack.
Looks around 34

Leo:

Magnus' Son, he's fairly tall for his age and very deep in his thoughts and what he says. This is most likey due to the fact he's a Psychic with the ability to read and talk to people's minds, see the future and past.
He's the voice on the radio transmisions that go on through out the missions, he also warns you of enemies (e.g Stragler's Behind you) and hint's to what to do (e.g Colour Code "Try red first and green last)He has short Brown Hair (from his dad's Gene's)

"Teelah":

The Alien Girl they found.
She doesn't speak much about what happened before they found her, and she mainly talks to Leo.
She has green eye's and a Blueish tint to her white hair, which flows down to her shoulders.

She looks like a slightly pudgy 10 year old.

"Fenrir" MkII Fighter Ship:

This is the ship Magnus uses to land on enemy planets etc etc, looks like an average fighter ship, traingular shaped, 2 laser turets and 1 rocket launcher.

VILLANS
Ha-Ha! Atlast Iv'e stopped blahbing on about the heroes and now were onto the Villans!

Kyridal: A Reptilian-like creature, offer's the main brawn in the group of pirates (if you want a good referance look at ridley, without wings though and has six arms)

Dogma: Wolf-like alien, offer's Cunning and brawn at the same time, has Dark, Night sky purple fur.

Felicity and Laurain: Two female twins, they offer the main speed and espionage of the group, humanoids but with Gills on their Backs.

Hans: Human, is the second in command of the pirates, he has a robotic leg due to the fact he lost it in a [SPOILER] and his [SPOILER].

Stigmahk: The Leader of the pirates, he [SPOILER].

You can design the Minor Pirates and other people yourself if you like, but if you need info, I'll PM you it.

[EDIT] I'd seriously love your Help, and i'll gladly accept anyone elses! I'll also need people to help me code this...

Oh the Lylat System was a joke, it's a system like that, but different. (I don't want to be taken to court do I  :p )

[Blademon]

Great I love sci-fi space settings. But..

Why does the bad-*** bounty hunter respond to a distress signal?
Why does he(I presume) report to the Galactic Federation, instead of doing something like selling the information?
Why does he volunteer to help save the world? If he's so good call the character a Space Cop.

edit: Lol I didn't know that the word would get censured.
And I would also be willing to help, love the setting, I'll have to see how if it's a good colaboration.

[dinkler]

if you could make a game like that it would be awesome. and if you can make that battlesystem i would want the script for it

For a reward for saving them, I would guess.

And, I like this story a lot. I had a Sci-fi/horror in the works, but RM2k broke.

Lol, he is Bad-*** but that doesn't make him evil, he responds to the message, [SPOILER] then reports it back to the Federation (after being paid a sum, as he found out they were looking for the ship later on) And then is hired by them.

As for the battle system, I'm not skilled in RPG Maker Coding, I Could try it in game maker, but then again I'm not to good in making RPG interfaces on that, and it's a little restrictive, that's why I need help >_<

Anyone want to post a Villain or Bounty Hunting Rival whilst were talking about it? I'll add them into the game.

[Lighting Half Dozen]

Here's Magnus, i didn't know what you wanted for the cloths so i made a Korben dallas look.

[Neonlare]

Nice, but I did ask for SHORT hair...
Once youv'e done all of the RTP style, I'll go ask someone to make them look more realistic, (taller, as in taller than the average RTP Charaset)

[rhonin]

well, I'd be glad to help with an Action Battle System script, and I'm good at poses. So feel free to send requests my way.  

[Neonlare]

wow, thanks very much Rhonin, I wasn't expecting it to get as much attention as it is.

Once Lightning Half Dozen has finished off the other main characters, could you make them alot alot taller, I'm looking for Magnus to be at least 5 pixles taller than Samus in Super Metroid (Not side scrolling though)

Here's an edit I did earlier (in next post)
