My RPG Ideas... (Feedback anyone?)

[MaximumMadness]

Hello,

I'm sorry if I posted this on the wrong board, if so tell me and I'll move it.

I just got "RPG Maker 3" on Christmas, and I've been working on a story I'm developing. Any feedback would be nice.

My game is called "The Lost Warriors: An Adventure" and it tells the tale of a young man named Tsai who leaves his peacefull village of Home Town, when he discovers that he has been raised by an adoptive father, after his "real" parents were killed in battle twenty years before...

He plans on traveling through the three kingdoms of the world, trying to piece together any and all clues about his past. Along the way, he stumbles onto an evil plot by the devious sorcerer Sinexus, leader of the dark mages, to create a war between the kingdom's in order to attain absolute power...

Thats the main story, but I want to focus more on the struggles Tsai faces trying to find his past and the conflict he has when his ultimate goal is changed and interferes with the struggle against Sinexus. There are also the average RPG twists... The villain isn't truley what he seems, several important characters die, things are not as they seem at all, etc. Hopefully the program "RPG Maker 3" will be big enough to hold everything I want to put into the story, or else I may rely on my last idea of splitting the story into three chapters, each short, telling a part of the story...

Feedback?

Unless you're aiming for a comedic approach, I would change the name of Tsai's home town.

I think thats used as a placement name.

It seems a little cliche but still nice. RPGM3 should be able to handle that unless you are planning to use more than 100 people.

you got it this christmas, so is this your first game? My first game took days to make and I hated it right away, the game idea is great, probaly shaped a little bit by the limitations, but still the idea you came up with, go back to after you made a few more, and you can do it better justice, if that's not the case, ignore this.

I think you have a very strong start. RPGM 3 will be very friendly to your ideas. Be sure to flesh it out with lots of little details along the way. Be sure to playtest your game many times through. Dont just make it and go, "hope someone likes it". Make sure YOU like it. Make it so you actually ENJOY playing the final product. after all that, have a friend playtest it, or one of us...I would be happy to give contructive feedback.

Also, I notice that some folks put alot of effort into story and geography, but leave much to be desired in the battle department. Balanced, interesting battles can be a difficult area of the game to get right. If you want ideas or help with this, let us know. I would help anyone with thier battle system if they wanted it. Play my game Forgotten Isle for example...
