Current Events > What would you want to see from a CE-centric GameFAQs RPG?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hypothetically, it would be 2D, and made in Unity.

I want to see me in the game.

There should be one reference to "GameFAQs is on a quest for your opinions!" (or whatever) somewhere early in the game.

Also, this. This is like, the umpteenth time someone has said "I'm gonna make a CE game on RPG Maker." and then nothing ever happens.

Certain obvious CEmen to be villains + ROD conspiracy

Support system where you can select a CEman to aid you in battle

Volkswagen_Bros as an evil boss and The_Doge as a playable character.

You should use RPG Maker. It's easier.

It should be a Super Mario 64 hack

And there are shitloads of scripts you can download to make your game more unique and less vanilla.

I can have Doge be a party member.

But what would you do?

That sounds fun.

Maybe he could be the tutorial boss, demonstrating the impact of losing one's karma.

I'm not sure what the areas will be, but I can include you as a dolphin.

I can put the survey quest in. As for this being the umpteenth attempt at a CE RPG, I can't really vouch for me being more qualified than anyone else, but I'll be sure to make preparations to allow someone else to take over the project in the event that it does go dark.

I'll consider it.

Hoth as an Ultros-type joke antagonist

That sounds like a fun idea.

I find Unity's workflow to be more enjoyable, though I'll admit I haven't used RPG maker since XP. Surely RPG maker has implemented many systems I have yet to implement in my own game, but developing the CE RPG is intended partially as a learning experience for me.

oooo nice! As for what I'd be doing, I'd like to be able to help other people, preferably the good guys if there is a good guy side or something like that >_>; you know, just the peaceful person that likes to help people as long as it's not something humiliating.

Combat would involve screaming at each other.

The project is on Github now. It doesn't really have anything working other than what was shown in the video, but I'll try to keep making progress on it. Now that it's being publicly hosted, someone else would be able to take over the project if I ever got hit by a bus. Once I have a game worth playing, I'll upload a version online (probably itch.io). I'll intermittently build the game for WebGL to make sure it will actually work embedded online.

I can do that!

I'll need to do some prototyping to see what works, but I'd like to have "elemental" attacks.

* Gimmicks - Damage an enemy's resolve with generally no drawbacks.
* Trolling - Damage an enemy's karma at the expense of your own.
* Chaos - Can use pride to perform resurrect themselves. Very low karma.
* Order - Specced for high karma, low pride. These are the kinds of attacks moderators and normies would use.

Some examples of what elemental associations various users might have:
* The_Doge - Gimmicks/Order
* Dawkins - Gimmicks/Chaos
* Duckbear, Thermite - Gimmicks/Trolling
* Hey - Chaos
* Gavi - Trolling
* Error1355, the23rdmagus, Yomi - Order
* Burgess - Order/Trolling

Gimmicks and Order might end up being the most prevalent, in which case I'll need to focus on making those elements viable on their own. It's fine if Chaos and Trolling are really lopsided, since those would hardly ever be used on their own.

Karma and resolve would be stats that each act as health meters where if a combatant's karma or resolve reach zero, they are defeated (i.e., get banned or close their account). I'm not sure if losing pride should constitute a game over, cause karma damage, or what. Pride would drive the more antisocial attacks (e.g. account hijacking, account suicide, making a billion alts).

I think it works thematically, but it would really need playtesting and balancing to make sure that all of the meters and elements interact in fun ways.

A CE-based game has been talked about several times at this point, but none of them have ever seen the light of day.

I remember back in the day when it was heavily worked on. All the screenshots of the game were ridiculous

He could be this game's equivalent to Magus of Chrono Trigger.

Wasn't there someone working on a CE dating sim at one point? I was gonna be a mermaid in it, I was so excited... I remember seeing screenshots
---

The twist is you're really a Hoth alt that is destroying the board and not saving it like you're led to believe.
---

remember the LUE rpg?

Add some dating aspects in it with the CEgals!

that's just asking for dumb drama TBH too bad we can't have nice things ;A;

Here's the current build of the game. The password is "password" without any quotes. It's just an empty room with some placeholder characters. I'll update the site occasionally when I have a version with new and interesting things. I've noticed the game is really laggy in the browser, and I'm not sure why. I'll try to figure that out before the next build.
