Video Game Competition: Real Reward!

How would you like to write something that actually has a reward if you win? If you have the best story and can support it in the coming months, then you will get a reward .

The contest is to make the storyline for a TBS RPG. Judging will mainly be based on two areas: 1. creativity, originality, flow, etc. 2. Ability to be easily turned into an RPG that will not be all too difficult to program. Basically, make it fun and crazy, but not crazy . It's rather tough to explain, so please just write some ideas and I will let you know if it is along the lines of what I am thinking of.

The reward is being on the credits of the game you wrote the story for. That's right. If your story is chosen, it will be made into a full-fledged game (but no money involved ).

Worth competing for? I hope so.

Haha!

I'll work on one, Yoshi. Any sort of genre will do? Action, adventure, fantasy, stealth...? Well, maybe not stealth, but there are lots of different RPGs out there. Oh, and how long should it be? Characters? ...that's a lot of questions, isn't it?

Is there any sort of deadline involved at this point ... ?Temptation53

That's my biggest question. That and how long they're interested in it being.

Type: This is a TBS RPG. The gameplay cannot be too hard to program considering this is my team's second game. Beyond that, the type is mainly up to you. Just try to keep it somewhat clean (we're not into gore, etc.).

Length: Standard game length; such as like 25 missions if thinking Fire Emblem-esque.

Deadline: ASAP. Once we've know we've got just the right idea, it's go time. That could be in a week or tomorrow. If you're looking at it being in the new year, it had better be plum awesome.

Any questions I missed?

Can we do a general game outline instead of an entire game script? That would save a lot, a lot of time, and it would be easier for both the writer and the programmers to go through and to do. helios_rietberg

I think taht's what he wants. At this stage anyway.

So where do we post??StarFreak101

You found it. That or pm him.

Yes, I am checking here and my PMs. And, I do want the outline (perhaps a few details that are not the storyline if they will be major. Think of this as a well-thought-out outline, if that makes sense. If not, just do a beefed up outline. How beefed is up to you.just4yoshi

Make sure you PM Mehrimek as well. ;)

Oh, and I can't remember if i told you i recieved a pm from SymphonyCometh or not.

No PM from SCjust4yoshi

Ah, well he was asking if you'd be interested in using his story Eternia. I'll link you to his profile as I think it's all posted here (and there's a few parts posted on here aswell) you may aswell PM him aswell.

Well, here's part 1.2. and 3.

I can PM him for you if you want as well.

Let me see here, you want a FE-esked game, I have an FE-esked story in the works, this might sound usefull;)

And the character amount is minimal (Well, I'm using FEU charactrs when the union as quiet so... so far we have about 10or so more characters, although, I think the original makers of the characters would like credit if we used them)

Planetary Disease

The world is at peace. The settlements are thriving, humans are multiplying quickly, and there are sufficient resources to last a long time.

But suddenly there is a massive earthquake, and the continent on which you live on is wrecked. Natural disasters occur one after another, be it typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

Through some research with an intelligent magician, you find out that the source of all this unrest is a spot in the middle of the planet's crust, where a disease seems to have struck the planet. The germs must be removed from the planet so as to cure it, and to save the people of these calamities. This spot is accessible through a large crack that has appeared in the middle of your continent – which has, incidentally, separated you from your family and your comrades.

New to this side of the continent, you search for people who will join you on your quest to cure the planet of this abominable disease. Gradually, you manage to create a group who is willing to fight for the peace of the world.

Characters:

Name: Sycrete
Gender: Male/Female (doesn't matter)
Age: 23
Clas: All-Rounder (fairly good at everything)
Personality: Humorous, affectionate and cheerful

Name: Kabu
Gender: M/F?
Age: 28
Clas: Tank
Personality: Quiet, kind but tough

Name: Cammea
Gender: M/F? (the name's very female, though…)
Age: 24
Clas: Long-Ranged (powerful, but weak physical defence)
Personality: Detached, intelligent but absent-minded

Name: Bortin
Gender: Male (the name just sounds too male)
Age: 25
Clas: Magic-clased (fast but weak physical defence)
Personality: Aloof, sensitive but capable

Setting:

It really depends on what we visualise the planet's crust to be like. It could be volcanic – or with some imagination, it could be an ice-cold room. It's really quite a free setting.

Hope that sounds feasible!

P.S.: Clas is cl*ss... but gamespot won't let me spell it right!

Competition has ENDED!
