working title
Just a tiny update and reminder about the DeviantART Game(of sorts)
I appreciate everyone who has offered to help in any way! I feel this group project shall be epic.

That being said, here are some more of my thoughts on it.
Even though I'm gonna make this game to celebrate my 5 years...I feel the game itself doesn't have to necessarily revolve around that.I don't want to feel egotistical. orz
Instead, I want to make something like...for the deviants, by the deviants.
if that makes sense.
So to those who offered to think/write some ideas, I only ask that you keep in mind all the people who will be a part of the game. I understand not everyone exactly knows each other...this might be tedious just yet.
PEOPLE TAKING PART SO FAR (Helping/Being a cameo):











We'll work out the Cameo bits in due time. (Like what character(s) will be used.)
POSSIBLE CONCEPTS
The game should be first person POV. You play as the unnamed player who makes the decisions.

The game should have a character selection, each with their own storyline of sorts.

DATING SIM LOL
POSSIBLE STORY IDEAS
none yet. I personally don't really like the idea I had though...(see 'not wanting to feel egotistical' comment)
I shall update this journal as frequently as I can, depending on how many ideas come around. Feel free to comment about anything~
Original Entry-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Kay, so I might've mentioned before that I want to make a game of sorts to celebrate my DA anniversary...because I figured that'd be more interesting than a movie/picture. And it'd give me a use for RPG Maker at long last.
To those who read my livejournal, you may already know about this. In which case, that's like...4 people? lmao.
I posted the same thing on facebook too...didn't get much feedback though.
So, I'll just copy and paste some stuff now.
My 5-year DA Anniversary is coming on New Years...I know that's still a ways, but I really wanna make something that's worth it (and also not rushed last minute) and that everyone can seem to enjoy. Not just a simple group picture...like I originally planned lol gotta do something more...hm
If I could animate something (like a little music video) that would be cool...but...I can't animate XD;;; The most I've proven I can do with that so far is blinking and maybe hair...maybe. But yeah...don't know about actual movement of peoples. :< Not quite ready for that...Still trying to get proportions down as is without any movement OTL
and then a random thought came to me today.
RPG Maker LOL I should make a retarded DA-based RPG that features friends and other deviants, whether it be cameo or whatnot.
But how would I go about that? XD;
Then I saw this: [link]
And then I remembered this: [link]
Text-based, Visual Novel RPG. I'm sure it's simple enough for me to do on RPG Maker without a whole bunch of other scripting. I'd just draw a bunch of pictures and make a bunch of scenarios and stuff...
But still, the question remains...how exactly would I go about this? A DeviantART Text-based-Visual Novel RPG...XD;;;
I don't know OTL But the idea itself still seems interesting and fun to me...It'll help me with RPG Maker in a different way at least (learning to make different events based on certain decisions.)
----------------------
That DA game is still on my mind...but I'm still lacking on ideas of how it's gonna work. It doesn't need to be extravagant...just a little something simple yet entertaining for people. I also lack good humor though :<
I need a basic plot...the only thing I've come up with is "One day, Steph logged onto DA...and suddenly was zapped into a parallel world. (lame) To find her way out, she had to explore this strange maze of a world..." and from there just make different routes you choose to take. (the game will probably have multiple endings. cause those are fun.)
Throughout this 'maze' are many windows, leading to a sort of subspace, featuring a certain deviant. Say Elaine for example (if I do decide to go through with this idea and ask permission of course) her 'subspace' would feature her characters she's created and shown throughout DA and you'll be able to talk with them and maybe they'll help you out in return or something.
That's the only idea I've come up with so far...I'm not too fond of it, but if I can't think of anything better closer to time, then it's probably gonna stick.
Art thieves should be badguys lmao
Still, I kinda want to feature all my DA friends (which include some that don't really draw or anything..) so I'm not entirely sure of the 'subspace' thing.So yeah.
To those who are new/don't know--despite what my DA page says, I consider January 1st my DA Anniversary. I joined in August, but was too afraid to really upload anything until the next year, when my friend encouraged me finally.
Why a Visual Novel/Text-Based RPG? It'll get me to draw more. At least, that's what I'm aiming for. Plus, I thought it'd be more interesting than the usual running around and fighting baddies RPG.
pleasepleaseplease comment and give out some ideas of your own! It can be completely different from mine, I don't care...as long as it can somehow involve anyone who has a DA account!
I don't want to work entirely alone on this...
That being said, comment NOW if you want to take part of this game. If I consider you a friend, then you're more than likely already going to be a part of the game in someway. But this isn't just for me and my friends--this is for all deviants who watch me.
Anyone who comments this journal will get some kind of cameo.All who take part will be credited.I'm leaving this journal open until the end of
this month. If a solid idea for the game is made by then, I'll begin putting it together in October...should be done by New Years. At least, that's what I hope.
I hope that To-Do list gets done by the end of this month as well...
