First RPGMXP game

[Brotherbrian]

Shalom!

I have already started some preliminary writing for my 1st XP game. It is related to my game idea for RPGM 3 for PS2. It is going to be a story about a person (the hero) in a world which has all but abandoned religion and the existence of God in any way shape or form. The hero runs across an ancient copy of a bible, or a Torah scroll, or something of the like. Maybe a portion.

This begins a quest to find more pieces of the book/scroll. Along the way he meets more "believers". Eventually he has enough parts to be able to read enough of it to "convert" him. This leads to his excommunication or maybe even his death warrant. This might take him on a quest to expose some dark secret, a global elite or something, responsible for the whole religious ban.

It will definitely contain conspiracy elements, as well as a struggling "underground". If there are any opinions or input/advice, I would be glad to hear it.

Anyway, if this is not the right forum for this, please tell me where would be more appropriate.

Re: First RPGMXP game

I find delightfully interesting the idea that - though religion and God have been done away with in the public eye - excommunication is the term you chose, seeing as how it has an almost exclusively religious connotation attached to it.

Mostly your ideas seem practical but highly unformed. I can contrive of at least one way or reason that said hero would want to begin finding other portions of ancient religious texts after having seen the first, but I'd like to hear the reasoning you have for his sudden interest in these abandoned and banned tomes.

Fahrenheit 451 tackled the issue before, and Equilibrium basically echoed that idea less successfully in movie form, but I wanna hear where you go with it.

Yeah, it is mostly unformed at this time. I just really got the idea yesterday, so it is still in development. Any ideas you may have will be appreciated.

I am thinking that he finds a portion of text somehow, like maybe he is an archeologist for "the state", and tried to go through proper channels to process the find, only to find that "the state" does not follow the proper protocols in kind. Perhaps they go overboard in their zeal to eradicate the text as well as the one who discovered it. This begins the wheels of free thought turning, or maybe he begins his quest in order to maintain survival. I am still in the early stages of deveopment.

A very interesting idea. I would love to see this game made.
