Community Game Creation

[daoman89]

Has anyone here thought about teaming up with a bunch of members from this site to create a single game?  There's lots of people who are talented at different things and to crunch those talents together could end up making a legitimate RPG.  Just a thought... lol

[Archem]

It's happened before. I don't know if it will happen again anytime too soon, though. We're all a bunch of lazy bastards at this point.

[daoman89]

I'm sure a select few wouldn't be so lazy.  But yeah, I can definitely understand that lol

[fruckert]

Normally I'd be all for this, but I have way too many projects on my plate right now.
Plus I'm sure we'd ultimately end up having some disagreements on how the game should be done. Which isn't all that fun.

It could be done if enough people sign up and none of them run into troublesome trouble IRL.

We did finish some projects back in the days like this:

I played a tiny bit.  Definitely a crude humor type of game lol.  I love the forest and I'm using those tree roof ideas cuz I have that forest chipset lol.  And you all would use the song "Right Now"...

If we're doing another chain game I'd love to do a chapter.

Id be down if we did teams, like story and character team, graphics team, eventing team, music team, etc. otherwise its doomed to fall forever in the blackholiness of charas infinite unfinishedness.

RPG maker is definitely not a good platform for collaborative game making. If you have more than one person working on mapping, there may be merge issues. Same with the database stuff, events, etc. I would imagine that you would only be able to effectively have a team of 3 developers. One person to do the mapping, one person to program the events, and the last person to create the database stuff and help out with minor eventing.

Chain games work great because only one person is working on it at a time, so there will be no merge issues.

The idea is pretty interesting though, and I may like to help out if we can come up with a good plan on how to accomplish it.

[Moosetroop11]

Obviously I like the idea.

I'd be up for helping, regardless of how we end up doing it.  I've run into a bit of a creative dead end with my platformer at the moment anyway...

But is it finished?

70%ish my helper hasn't helped yet lol and i'm still stuck on not thinking up a World Map Song...  I did however complete my Mini Game song which I'll post when I make it an MP3!

That's true, chain games are efficient in that aspect. As long as the person having the game finishes on time.

So you're pretty much stuck in the same limbo as most of us.
