As you can see, I have made a non-CV giveaway for RPG Maker VX Ace that will end in late November-- it is available only to members of this group which is currently empty.

How will we fill this group?

As the title alludes, any wishing to join should propose a videogame of their own! Specifically, a design that can be created with the prize at hand, RPG Maker VX Ace. Your proposal may take any shape you wish and can be any length, but it must be posted here in this thread. Any idea deemed worthy will receive a group invite.

Acceptance is completely at my discretion and current state of intoxication. I'll be looking for legibility, well-defined goals, and some sense of how you will implement your grand ideas. I reserve the right to be picky-as-a-mofo, because I intend to keep the overall number of entries relatively low. This is a free opportunity to bounce some creative ideas off of your digital peers, and we will all get to observe the progress and product of our winner.

I'll be dropping some small, private GA links along the way for giggles. I hope you find the event intriguing and entertaining, good luck! ^__^

You wake up, unknown to where you are. You are addressed as 4096 and you're lost as to why, but you go with it. It turns out you are trapped in an Orwellian Tron society and you fall in love with a girl known as 3765. They meet as they have to face off in the Arena, though, so their time with each other is cut short.

What happens next? Find out in the next episode of RPG Maker VX Ace! (Don't want to give too much away about this!)

storyline:

You are a child from a tribe that no longer exists. everyone in your tribe was slaughtered because they were afraid of the power they possessed. So the king sent his whole army to kill every last person of the tribe. However one family did no longer live there as they were exiled. They had a child, you the protoganist. One day the army finds out that this family survived... and they come in and slaughter the family, or so they think. A blacksmith & friend of the family passes by later that day to deliver some spears and arrows for hunting and notices the dead family, save for the son who's heavily injured but still alive, he takes him to his home and raises him as his son. Years later, a small regiment of troops comes to the blacksmith's house and take his daughter, while killing the blacksmith in the process. The blacksmith was part of a tribe that are the only ones capable of handling a certain type of ore. The blacksmith already escaped the king's grasp and was off the grid, but someone in the town that he lived in told on him. This action causes you to start seeking vengeance on the king.

The story will guide you through various missions, meetings with other tribes, starting to unlock the power you have as one of the special tribe and ultimately saving the blacksmith's daugher... You'll also learn a lot of lore of the world.

As for this story... it's partially written down in book form already. But i was always thinking that it would be nice to make it a game. I'd use one big questline and then some smaller questlines that you can do if you want to learn more of the lore (since there is a LOT of lore)

I have addressed this earlier, but this is a pretty pathetic excuse to not post an idea. As I said earlier, to think that someone has enough work ethic to make an entire game but not the creativity to come up with a quick outline (that most here did on the spot) is pretty ridiculous. Not to mention that there are about four gazillion better places on the net to "steal ideas." The entire idea of this event is to drop our excuses and finally make something we've dreamed about.

My advice for you, and this goes above and beyond this event, is to stop making petty excuses to yourself not to take a risk and create something. Real artists aren't "stealing ideas" on a video game forum, they're out creating.

This is quite true, most of my ideas have been getting fleshed out for the past couple years, and I have been sorely tempted to try to cobble them together.

Ok. This is Translated with Google Translation. I searched for mistakes, but maybe there are still some in it. Sorry :(
This is a collaboration Project from some of my friends and me :D

There was once a continent name Lasgharo , a peaceful corner of the world , at least until
Day 14 of IceMoon Year 257 , known as the day of the big strike today .
6 meteor fragments fell on pristine places on earth , where later our individual cities settled
One meteor fragment rushed to the present city Rasazar in Rasazarghar high in the frosty
North. Nowadays there live the Frostborn
One fragment fell into the volcano where the city Sombravia in Taslarho has set up . There are living the
fireborn
One fragment crashed in the mountains of Hlasorh where you find the city Shrowhas today. There are now living the
earthborn
One Fragment crashed into the Terishtinz-forest. now there is the village of healingborns Terieno
One Fragment of rumored to be the smallest of all was to be no bigger than a fist
which let us hardly sleep till this time, because it fell directly into a Sparse Land
in the body of a woman was carrying a child in it. This child is now 20 years later
Yrzork corrupt country in the dark . he has to leave the force again and resurrect dead
is repeatedly attacked by the large armies of other countries .
We know that have not passed the skills of the country and the children of the meteors
but the other way around . The meteors have included the effects of the places where they
have landed and they have passed increased, so that a part of mankind Today
Can manipulate the forces of nature .
"Grandpa ! Where is the last meteor fragments because you said there are 6 ? "
oh yeah right it is said, that it had been six luminous objects in the sky, but
in fact the last one was never found.
"Grandpa can i do magic too? "
No, my little boy , we are here outside of the range and also you are still 5 years, you get no forces at this age.
now go to sleep .
" But I still want to hear another story "
No you go to bed to sleep now .
Late at night they suddenly heard loud cries and alarm bells "THE ARMY OF YRZORK!!"
the grandpa brought his son into the rearmost room was directly across the river and opened a secret hatch that was hidden under de bed. He set up a small floating vehicle which resembled a pot into the water and put his son into it, who fought against that .
When the son was sitting there , he soon disappeared into the darkness of the river and the Grandpa closed the hatch and pushed the bed over it as the army of Yrzork stormed the House .
The son drove continuelty continually down the river ....

After the son drifted away , he looked back and could see the flames Blazing His old city. After several hours , the stranded in a small bay. It was dark , and the forest around it frightened him . But he knew that if he did not go , they will get him. So he ran off through the dark forest . After what felt like an eternity, he was close to collapse . He could see a fire. With his last strength he ran back there when he arrived everything went black on his eyes and he fell into sleep .

When he woke up , someone greeted him with a painted face. He could see a white bird on the forehead. It was a man , who received him there. The people spoke with him and told that he is Raknak and be the leader of a small Native tribe. They call themselves the fragmentfinders. Raknak asked : ' What is your name PLAYER NAME HERE INSERT . Raknak friendly smiles Player1 * and asks how he got here , he looked like a villager from the near . The boy replied that his village was destroyed by the YRZORK and was sent by his grandfather on the river. Raknak said that he now should first rest and should eat something. He was asked to come with him in the tent. there was a huge plate of food. 5 other people, all with a white bird on the forehead, sat around the table . On the table there were mayn things to find. kinds of grapes and some deer. After dinner , Raknak took the boy to his first tent where he had put him a bed ready . Here he should rest for a while.

  • Player1 * suddenly found himself in a dark place and he could see in the distance a big red fire next to a bluish light in the middle of an ice layer on the other side a glowing shoot of a plant next to the yellow stone looks like an amber .

  • Player1 * realized that he should choose one of the elements , only he did not know why he would do that. But as directed by a foreign power , he went straight to one of the shining objects.

It was [ player can select one of the objects ]

suddenly as if to touch the object , he woke up with outstretched arm in the air showing . on his hand , there was a [" object player choosed " ] icon , but it disappeared again . He asked at the seeker what this meant. He looked at strangely at the boy and asked him whether his grandfather spents anytime in a fragment village. The small seemed somehow to cope with the situation.

The leader of the splinter seeker told the boy that he can stay at first and they will show him what is going on with the symbol on it.

5 years went by ....

The splitter viewfinder went from village to village .......

During this time Yrzorks troops took more and more land to complete and the inhabitants moved slowly closer and closer to the splinter villages to experience the magic protection of the gifted and their descendants to make themselves familiar with the art of magic.

nice idea, enjoyed reading these

The Idea:

A group of youngsters discover that all around the world there are small pocket dimensions. and during their first travels in one they discover an ancient sword and many strange books. The nerdy youngster finds information that talks about 11 other swords in different locations. And during their travels they encounter a rival group that also tries to find al the blades.

Each pocket dimension will have a theme. This theme will influence the abilities of the blade, the inhabitants of the dimension and the nature of the puzzles inside the dimension.

I'm willing to tell more about it but since i'm also writing a series of short stories about it so I don't want to make too much of it public. I already have the plotlines completely worked out and an willing to send these to the OP-er by email if he wants :-)

If possible in RPG maker I'd love to turn it into a tactical RPG in the genre of Disgaea

and yes it will include emotional struggles (father and son issues and love issues) as well

What I like to do is Recreate stuff, I make tons of minecraft skins of anything I can think of, especially star wars stuff. I would like to see Kotor rendered in 2d, probably impossible, maybe not - worth a whorl? I'd say so.

It would be a laugh anyway, and I know the game inside and out, upside down and backwards, Maybe just maybe I could do it.

I'd create an RPG about a Demon King. He'd have everything that he could possibly want. However, he's extremely bored. For this reason, he decides to be reborn in the distant future. The game would pretty much be about the young Demon Lord regaining his power and amassing support so that he could take over the world. I'd like to make it have multiple endings that would change depending on which flags you trigger. It just seems like it would be a fun game to make.

First bump, but I would like to present you my idea. I don't know how that RPG maker works, but I have seen some one-person made 2d RPGs. They do look cool and I suppose you can create very interesting stuff with it.
So I have always liked medieval fantasy stories like LOTR or so. So I would create a game that has different races starting from Humans, to even nightmare beings. They all would have their unique personalities and objectives in the world. You could choose to play one of the races and your game objective would be to fulfill your race's objective. Or you could be a tryrant and do everything to not fulfill it, so you become a traitor and perhaps find a new destiny?

Oh, what's that? Yeah, I guess the Endless Space giveaway ended. I wonder if he'll drop another one. We're more than halfway through the contest and we've had some fantastic entries, two weeks left to get your idea in. Good luck ^__^
