Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2011 5:49 pm Post subject: Idea for a retro style RPG |
|
|
So the evil dragon, "Grey Scale" has shattered the magical prism hid each of the pieces in the 7 lands, each of whom has a theme of each of the 7 colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet), thus wiping the color from the land. The hero's quest is to find each shard, and put them back together and restore color to the world. Then, he has to defeat Grey Scale. The game will be set in a surrealist world. Etc. etc., basically.
Comments/criticism?

| Does the colours represent anything in forms of gameplay?

| I think that'd be cool, have a grayscale game with colors added in after each level.

@Holland
I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet. Any ideas?

| Well if you do it in flash or java let me know and I'll pitch in.

Depends on what you're doing really.
Is this game gonna have 3d in it?
If so java will be terribly inefficient (see minecraft) and flash will be pretty limited.
I can't say that either is better than the other but they do have their proficiencies.

Flash does point and click best, but java might do more stable level creation and paths and stuff I dunno I'm better at flash.
