8-year-olds and RPG Maker make an interesting combination. This 8-year-old friend of mine ('cause his family is friends with ours) mentioned me making a game for him. Later on, I suggested we tried making the game together, where he'd tell me what he wanted while I did most of the hard work. And he wanted to make Ep 8. Skrew 7, he wanted 8. And forget continuity, Vader is alive and kicking, and apparently a good guy at least for the moment, as he is being called Anakin. Here's his characters.
Obi-wan, using the first sprite.
Anakin, using one of the villager sprites.
Yoda, using the dragon sprite.
Nonplayables possibly being:
Darth Vader, using the Grim Reaper sprite.
Anakin/Darth Vader after being burned, using the skeleton sprite.
Armadilla or whatever her name is, using the second sprite.
So we did the title screen, and had the text start scrolling up with it saying "Episode VIII - Return of Vader". After we did that part, I asked him what he wanted the story to be about. Well, apparently he doesn't want to do the story. Makes sense, as he isn't often interested in the stories, just watching the action (even if the action is turn-based).
Well, we (he) decided to move on to creating the places. First place in the game being the Naboo canyon. Except, oh no, we have to create the map!
And that's where we stopped. He insisted that we save it because he'd want to work on it more. So I did, but I didn't think he would, especially since we don't really see each other very often. At least not at each other's houses. And yet at the end of the day, after fireworks, he wanted to work on it some more. He couldn't though, since it was time for him to go home.
Anyway, just an interesting RPGM-related story I wanted to share. I doubt it'll ever come close to being finished, though he did seem interested in the idea of people online playing the game he makes.
