Hey all, i just started to make a game in rpgmaker vx.
The reason why i use rpgmaker is pretty simple.
It is script friendly, and the engine is already coded.
I lack the knowledge to code myself, and ive bought a couple of games that was pretty awesome, and i throughly enjoyed them. (made in rpgmakervx ofc)

I've used rpgmvx lots before but never came up with the idea to make a serious game, well might be time now, i write here because some of you might come up with ideas and might help me with some stuff in the game.
Because hand on the heart, selfmade games are 90% shitty.

I've started to write some ideas on a paper just so i might have a thought to start on.
I will write it all down here soon enough, for now i will explain for you that isn't familiar with rpgmvx, because my english pretty much sucks i will copy/paste!

RPG Maker VX (RPGツクールVX, RPG Tsukūru VX?) is the latest program from the RPG Maker series. It was developed by Enterbrain and is the latest in the PC RPG Maker series, following its predecessor, RPG Maker XP. RPG Maker VX follows the naming pattern present in previous RPG Maker releases by having a suffix based on the Windows versions the software was designed for (in this case, Windows Vista and Windows XP).
Read it all here

So i will just type the ideas ive came up with so far.
Most will be pretty...far sighted? that will be lots of work, and might be some additional scripts.

So yeah, lets start.

1. Choose if you want to be a boy or a girl
2. Choose your names for your characters
3. drama - in the story ofcourse.
4. sidequests - probably lots of them.
5. achievments - just a "might might might be"
6. item almiac - you can see what items you collected in the menu.
7. day/night - with rain and snow, time and year and day. There is a script for this, but i will have to talk to the coder.
8. farm - This should be pretty interesting, you should be able to plant flowers, potatos, carrots etc for some extra gold (or what the currency should be) also animals like cows, wich produce milk, you name it!
9. Fishing - this is pretty easy, hardest would be if you should have a fishing animation. list of the rods is just below the ideas!
   
10. Custom music, you know.. field music, battle music town music sleep sound, "SUCCESS" sound "FAIL" sound , game over sound.
11. Custom characters! - there is templates for this!
12. This isn't something ive planned to do but it would be fun to make this work : Family life, this would be marrige, gettin children, buying pets etc, not a bad thought, still, would be pretty braintwisting.

fishing rods:
Old fishingrod: catches only small fishes with small chances, even seaweed.
Regular fishingrod: catches small fishes with good chance and medium fishes with small chance, even seaweed
Good fishingrod: catches medium fishes with good chance, big fishes with medium chance, and clams with hard chance to get, in those clams it will be a medium chance to get a pearl with a decent sell amount.
Might be a master rod or something.
notice this is thoughts ^.

• FREEDOM:
• cooking - So funny, pretty easy to do with lots of work!
• Buy houses - easy to do, and funny!
  
• Expand houses - lets just say you will have to get lots of g.
• Buy furniture for your houses , hard and lots to do.
• Change your furniture wherever you want it to be.
• fast travel.
• cook and make food! - so funny!
• fusion - this will be interesting, some items / weapons will only be avalible through fusion!
• and work! - im not that sure what this will be yet.. gather wood ?
  might be some minigames ? yeah.
• a sidekick - you know... Link has a fairy.. in nier you have a book. i was thinking a teddybear wich thinks its real ? pretty fun i guess.

Coming up with the ideas was pretty hard and took some time.
And its not close to halfdone, and i wont start working on the game t'il the story etc is done.
Notice this is also ideas, it will be fully customizable, so just throw away your thoughts!
What i would need help with from you guys is ... everything! from ideas to music making!
It will be a loooong process making this game, and i would need lots of help.
So if someone is good with the sprites, making clothes etc, just tell me if you want to participate.
Same with music etc, wich will be one of the most important factors, what is a game without good music ?
Also the name of the game.
And some "story thoughts".

Names ive came up with isnt... good?
Still.. just thoughts.
Please tell me some more and i will list it below.


Eternal life - CLICHEEE!
Insomnia - please dont ask


I will update this whenever im making progress in the story or got someone who wants to join in on the game.
I will list the name below and what that person volountered for.



Thank you!
