i've been watching it since 2000 and i got an idea a few days ago from it. an RPG, but with those random insanity "cut away" scenes, as seth mcfarlane calls them. what do you think?

As long as you have a good sense of humor and don't directly steal FG jokes, it sounds fine to me. I'm making a little side project (I can't believe how fast I'm actually progressing with my main project) that uses all the art style 4 picture graphics (you know, those wonky graphics that are really awesome) and every story teller scene uses the pop art background. It's pretty weird; it involves a tax collector and the mythical beast and... well, I'll just wait until it's finished.

Do you mean as scenes, or quick playable moments? that could be fun... "remember when we fought those 8 chickens?" 2 Battles vs 4 chickens! "yeah, what was that all about??"

i dunno. not sure if i'll even pursue this since i'm more in favor of the serious RPGs. it was just an odd idea i got. and no, i wouldn't be ripping off Family guy. i respect it too much to do so. seth mcfarlane is a genius.

What I like to do in RPGs is making a special place where you can see funny stuff, cutscene and other funny things. Like the mad piano guy, when you talk to him you can choose the music he plays, or if you ask him about his past, he just start saying confusing things until 1 party member start to get mad and say he would kill him. Then that was a trigger to make the pianist run away from you. You could try to catch him, its funny.

But in the adventure, I dont really put that much jokes because at a certain point it will ruin the story. Unless you make a parody out of thr rpg you made. (Which is cool)

In the end I think a little bit of humor can be really cool, not too much though unless its a spoof.

Re: anyone here know family guy?(rpg maker related.)

well if i ever did that it'd absolutely have to be a spoof, which i hardly ever do. it'd ruin any of my serious stories.

What will be you game about if its a spoof? I mean the big ideas behind it?

Re: anyone here know family guy?(rpg maker related.)

i seriously don't know. never tried one before. this idea was kinda just a passing thought that i seriously took notice of. even contemplated making a short little video skit about the differences between heroes and villains in RPG plots. not one in particular, but all in general.

A FG joke was used in Remote Control, and that worked well.

I tried making a funny game, but I ended up redoing it to make it serious. I can't do comedies.

[snake storm]

Re: anyone here know family guy?(rpg maker related.)

yeah, me either to be honest. i stick with serious ones.

[MRevelle83]

Re: anyone here know family guy?(rpg maker related.)

My humor is usually stuff like Airplane/Hot Shots/The Naked Gun, you know those dumb movies. And when I do comedy, it usually comes off as insulting or too dry for people to like.

Plus it feels like what I'm doing is pointless when I come up with a good gameplay system, but make the characters dumb.

Re: anyone here know family guy?(rpg maker related.)

i liked naked gun but yeah, it'd make a lousy game.

There was a couple of funny jokes in Mario RPG on the SNES. Like when Mario tries to leave the throne room, and the chancellor keeps calling him, and the last shot, Mario turns around in the stairs and fall to roll directly in the door below.

Funny things, sure its made in a kiddy way, just an example.

I think it would be would be funny if you used family guy series, as long as you dont do any from the new episodes, because they have really lost their funder!?

[snake storm]

Re: anyone here know family guy?(rpg maker related.)

i disagree. it still rules. but i wouldn't be using any jokes from family guy, just that one aspect of how they do it. if i'm gonna try and be funny, i'll do it my way.
