I can tell you about my game if it helps.
My game is about a guy named Joey(that's me who is power full) and his friend(P.J.).This is how my game starts.your friend remembers he left something in the city near by(Fun City,thats its name because its allways summer and kids love it).So you and your friend have to go to Sias city because its on an island and a guy in Sias City can warp you there.When you get there you find out the city(Fun City)has been takeing over by a wherewolf army.Your friend says"we should stop them."So you try.When you get in the castle the werewolfs gang up on you and you friend some how uses magic.When you beat them you go to the dungen and findout the king got out and the princess is locked up instad.Well your lucky and the gard is asleep,so you take the keys and unlock the priness.You try to run to the gate to get out but its locked.The princess Knows were the key is to the gate.You then go to the throne room and your saronded.The princess takes on the army with your friend,so you can battle the red werewolf aka the leader.When you beat it you get the key and lock the werewolfs up in the dungen.When you are going home the princess tells you when there is something woung she will send a knight to tell you.I am going to make a saga so it will take a long month or to befor I get up to the 3rd game.Thats all I have so far.

Re: Need Ideas

I'll say that the Werewolf army sounds cool, but it seems the story could use work.

Re: Need Ideas

Just to let you know if any one gives me an idea and I use it I will post I used it.

I'll say that the Werewolf army sounds cool, but it seems the story could use work.

Do you have any ideas for my game because it needs work? What kind of work do you think it needs?
I hope this does not sound mean because I like what you said about the army.

Re: Need Ideas (the game is called The Quest)

The 1st quest is you have to go talk to the meat salesman and get some meat and give it to the person who asks for it.
Then your friend gives you the next quest were you have to go to a city.
When you get there you find out the king is in jail because the werewolf army put him there.When you beat the werewolf army the leader tells you who sent them and it's the Evil King Popo(I had no ideas for a name).
Thats all I have so far,so can someone help me?

First of all, Pokejoey, welcome to the Pavilion! Hope you enjoy it here, and remember that thick skin is NOT optional!

By the way, should we pronounce it "Poke Joey" (as in jabbing your finger into Joey), or "Po-kay Joey" (as in Pokemon)?

I'm going to combine some of your posts, since it is generally Pavilion policy to not post twice in a row (exceptions can be made in certain circumstances). Instead, use the Edit button and modify your last post.

Well, I don't know about what you posted as far as your story... I guess my first rule is always give as much detail as you can (without spoiling things). Because from this, I don't even know if you're trying to put together an intentionally funny, over-the-top game, or if you're going for a normal RPG kind of story (in which case it really does need a lot of work). And is this a just-for-fun project or do you expect to release it to the community? Again, if you're planning on releasing it... it really needs work.

Okay, first... Joey and his friend. What are their motives? How do they act? Optionally, how the heck do they have the strength (or other means) to beat up a werewolf? Finally, what kind of people are they that the player will like them (or at least like watching them)?

Next... we've got a quest, where you go buy some meat. Is this really that interesting? Remember, for example, the first dungeon (the Mako Reactor) in Final Fantasy 7? You immediately had something to fight for, something the characters really cared about. That was an excellent hook. World of Warcraft had you fighting against thieves that could kill you in your first hour or two, instead of stomping rats. That was a good hook as well. Running errands is generally considered filler.

In fact, I might recommend skipping directly to the werewolves. Let's make it a little more interesting than "beat the werewolves up and try to save the king for some reason." Maybe Joey's friend gets bitten by one of the werewolves during the fight and inherits lycanthropy (the ability/tendency to change into a werewolf)? Maybe the King or his kingdom know some way to cure it? Or maybe King Popo is the one with the secret, and Joey sees the opportunity to join forces with the King's men and take down Popo (forcing him to tell the secret to curing lycanthropy in the process). That's still a shaky plot, but at least the player has a motive now, and the story gains some direction for it.

If there's anything interesting about the gameplay, you'll want to mention that too.

At any rate, hope this post helped, and best of luck starting off your game.

Re: Need Ideas

It's Dear Brave Heart, the sample game that comes with RPG Maker 3.

I like the idea of a werewolf army.

Some Quick questions.
What's with the meat at the beginning?
Is there some significance to it?
Can the meat quest actually relate somewhat to the plot of the story? Perhaps it could be werewolf meat.

Is King Popo (or whatever his name will be) a werewolf king?
Why did they put the king in the jail?
Perhaps because he had commanded that the people in his kingdom hunt werewolves and use their meat for food since all of the other meat had been infected with a disease of some sort and this was done as a last resort to save his people from utter starvation.
Which jail is the king being kept in? the one in the land of the werewolves?

I hope your game-making goes well. You'll find lots of support here, I hope. (just noticed that Wavelength and I posted around the same time. Sorry for any unneccessary repetition of info.)

As in pokemon.
