Whataface 2's first game

[Whataface2]

Okay. I've played around with these games enough and think I have come up with a game that I might actually be able to finish. The first three games I tried to make were not so successful.

I haven't thought of a title yet. Right now I'm calling The Adventure. The game is for RPG Maker XP. The game is set in a fantasy relm.

The main character of the game is a young girl named Sara ( Purple Fighter Graphic). She is happy to return home from Dune Hill ( a merchant town). But when she awakens the next moring everyone in her town is lifeless. Sortly after that she is discovered by a strange man, who orders 3 guard dogs to attack her.

Fortunetly for her a strange man comes to her aide. She eventually finds out that his name is Shen. He was a Mercenary ( cloak thief grapic) sent by the King of High Ridge, to warn Hunter village about the impending attack. However he fails in his misson.

Soon the two travel to High Ridge in attempt to break the spell that was put on Sara's Village. However, before they do that they must warn two other lands of the impending attack from the Land of North Gates.

I haven't thought of the names of the other two party members yet. One is going to be a Lancer and the other his going to be a mage. There might be another character that can join the party, but I think I might make him or her be optional.

The game play is going to be like a basic rpg with fighting and some puzzle solving. The one difference being that depending on certain choices you make, you can turn the Character Sara into either a Knight or a Mage. And depend on which class you are that will determine how people will react to you.

These are the names of the different lands I have thought of:
Dune Hill ( Desert Town )
High Ridge ( Mountain / Mine town and Fort )
Hunter Village ( Small Forrest Village )

One request though?

Can anyone help me come up with a better name?

A better name for your towns, a better name for your characters, or a better name for your game?


A game called Runny Eggs with Tabasco Sauce would be better-named than something called The Adventure.


Sorry, I can't help.

The names are bland, but other than that it sounds ok.

Re: Whataface 2's first game

I think it sounds good. Maybe a new Title, like The Cursed Town of Sara Grisil?

A little weird when a strange man sends 3 dogs after Sara and a Strange Man protects her. Maybe change the guy who protects her make it a "Dark Figure"?

By the way the last name I gave her was just a thought.

Re: Whataface 2's first game

I think the names are fine by me. I would hope you have something to keep the interest down the road and not have it become another "go to this city and stop this army" type play.

I do wonder how your puzzles are going to be like.

Re: Whataface 2's first game

Thanks for the help. I have come up with a better name. It is going to be called Gift or Curse.

The main focus of the game will be the development of the main character. I'm hoping to be able to set it up that so that the choices the player makes will affect the process of the story. For example how people will react to you in the game.

I'm thinking of having different variables for the character development.
Rich People Variable: How the rich people see you
Common People: How the common people see you
Famous: How well the people know you
Class one: possible class you become near the end of the game
Class Two: possible class you become near the end of the game

( Class one & two will be for example a mage or cleric this variable will also show how people will react to you)

I have also change two of my character names:
Sara has now been named Alessa.

Stranger (one who saves the main character) has been changed to Dark Figure. Later on Dark Figure reveals himself to Alessa to be Yo****o the notorious Mercenary.

I've also come up with the name of the other characters in my party.

Mage : Master Rune
Young Mage : Riven - Master Rune's student
Ship Captain: Shylo.

As for the puzzles, I'm not sure of them yet.

I'm hoping to put more information up on my characters later on today or tommorrow depending on how things go at work.

later.
