Board Owner Here, been busy, gonna run a awareness campaign soon, but yeah its kinda dry over here atm

sounds good enough.

I'll just keep checking back I guess

welp

>>250

Don't give up hope

don't suppose there's any other places I could look for this sort of thing?

update if anyone cares;

I figured out how the combat system would work

>I have the story more or less figured out, but could probably use help coming up with the smaller parts of it. minor characters, etc.

>smaller parts

A mad blacksmith created enchanted armor for dragons, then offered them to some local blue dragon. It didn't go well.

>minor characters

There's a man you can meet at an inn named Faraday. He'll teach you an electricity spell or give you an electricity gun, but you'll have to do some sort of quest.

I actually have the mad blacksmith thing sort of covered, at least in the lore. one of the main character's father was a renowned swordsmith, and this one race came to him to make their weapons. then one day they ask him to kill his son. I would think that counts for the 'it not going well'.

I could see how the other guy would fit in once the story and stuff gets more fleshed out

maybe I should start dumping everything I've come up with and wait for someone to be interested, instead

Dude, were supposed to, what, throw ideas at your nondescript rpg?

Steven Seagal spoof as a hill giant, complete with a Flintstone caveman suit. He pretends to know martial arts like judo and shit, but all he does is snatch people by their extremities and fling them in random directions using his huge size in technique's stead.

Why would I come up with anything better, than that when I have no point of reference? You know that there are people with complete games figured out and that ideas themselves are cheap, right? I'm sorry, but I can't see a "I'm an ideaguy and I need ideaguys to come up with ideas for me" thread doing you any good. Like, there's no scenario, where this will result in you being closer to doing any games besides maybe gaining a contact (to someone with his own ideas).

>not really sure where to start.

Learn to code in some game engine, probably.

is that the problem here? nobody reads?

>ask me stuff.

>again, ask me stuff.

I already have the idea. I have the main characters. I have the majority of the locations. I have the overall story. and now I have the general idea for the combat system.

should I really have just typed every damn thing out from the start, and end up with a thread I'm the only poster in that's too long for anyone to even want to read? would the format of this board even have allowed for that?

I have the idea. ask me questions, and I'll tell you about the idea. I didn't think I needed to spell that out.

my goal here was to find people interested in helping make the damn thing, since I alone can't.

coz that's, like, the purpose of this board, isn't it?

>>307

I'm sorry, no. Were mostly ideaguys here, so what we do is pour out ideas. lol It's pretty sad when you think about it.

I feel bad for ya, this board sinking and you left hanging…

But still, you didn't pitch us the actual idea, you don't have a relevant skillset… Not that most of us do. There's no offer itt.

I'd be up for anything but all I can do at the moment is some really slow 3D modeling and babby's first code.

OP if you are still around, here goes:

You should start by telling us about the premise of your story. What's going on the game world that makes things tick? What's the conflict? Who are the enemies? Who are the protagonists and their party? What's everyone's goal?

I am going through the same problem as you. I recommend you start doing gamedev by learning how to make a visual novel. Ren'Py is pretty easy to start with.
