Well, I guess the game's okay. My main complaints would be that User Probation is overpowered, and the dialogue is boring and pointless.

Its...A demo... You can't really expect comedic gold out of a demo can you?
Well, none of it was funny to begin with, so if the writing was even worth reading I wouldn't be complaining.

To each their own I guess.
Well, I'm liking this game, and you should all have been briefed on my crusade against turn based RPGS by now, so it must say something about the quality.
Are you sure the fact you get to be in the game at some point has nothing to do with you opinion?

To my knowledge I'm not in the game, nor have I been notified otherwise. I like the game for it's social commentary and metaphorical representation of the board.

Maybe not, but I assumed that you read that and figured you would be in the game, thus giving it your stamp of approval.

I'd give it my stamp of approval but I haven't designed one yet, and it wouldn't mean much. However I like the demo, and hold out hope for the completed article.

Come on, if there was a category of games you really hate, let?s say platformers for the sake of discussion, and someone told you they were making a platformer with you in it, you would judge it a little less harshly.

and yes, a good portion of the people that i know are petty.

Well, i can't believe i missed this thread so far! It seems to be quite to hotbed of funitude. I feel like the only kid without a pokemon back in the days of red and blue.

And my computer cannot run this game, Macs be damned. Well... i'm assuming that's the problem. And worst of all, apparently there is an Ultra surprise and i can't see it!

*Ultra-weeps*

Much thanks to the many flattering requests for my inclusion earlier in the thread, you do me too much honor. If anyone can fill me in on what the Ultra surprise is, it would fulfill my burning and painful curiosity. Seriously, even just a hint will stop this forehead-bashing frustration.

Depends how I was portrayed to be honest. All we've seen so far is a demo, but of the demo, I quite like it.

Really, I was going to make some fake whining about not being in the game, but after reading all those pointless one liners, I can say without I doubt I'm glad he didn't put me in.

This thread boggles me. I may a mention of making an RPG, and people are asking me a lot of questions that could be answered with a demo, and they say "Sure, make a demo for us." So I do, and suddenly it becomes about who NewClassic deems worthy to put in his demo. Maybe I should make a disclaimer. Yeah seems like a good idea.

NewClassic does not intend any malice, harm, wrong-doing, or other derogatory action by including or not including any member of the Escapist within his creations, be them satirical or otherwise in nature. Any offense or oversight is not intended as such, and is not meant to harm, detract, or cause hurt in any way, shape, form, or format.

That being said, what the hell guys? This is a thread about my RPG, ideas for it, and whether or not it's a good idea. I appreciate all of the words of praise for the demo, I really do, but you've been derailing this thread since about Page 3.

So, let me bring this sucker back on topic. The main RPG project is now in progress, and will take probably until early November until the design for the first town is down, much less any significant amount of gameplay. I'm currently working on the database, which means working on the items, the weapons, the armor, the jobs, the characters, the classes, and the terminology and scripting long before I can even create the first map. Then, I have to build a sufficient number of maps, define out the full length of the plot in outline, and the details for the first town, few zones, dungeons, enemies, and bosses. As well as the level layout, equipment, and so on.

Once that databasing is done, I'll begin work on the first town, and surrounding zones. This will likely serve as the tutorial and flash-back for the game, establishing the plot, the customizable portions of the main character, and his or her storyline for the beginning portion of the game.

Because this is a comedy RPG, it will be highly satirical, heavily influenced by the major plot of most fantasy games, and will serve as commentary for all of the silly tropes found in most popular media formats, as well as the turn-based RPG format itself. The writing, at least by events and dialog, will be similar in style to the demo, but have a lot more length and depth to them, because they will not be a rush job like the demo was.

The difficulty will be substancially larger, but still not as difficult as most games should be, as I'm historically more likely to make an easier RPG than a harder one. That being said, I've been known to have bosses that are hell to deal with, so expect some frustration.

My RPG will have Save Points, and disable saving from any other point.

Um... That should clear up most questions about the RPG that will crop up. Anything else, and you will have to wait for the demo. Expect it by mid November, but I'm making no promises. It depends entirely on how much I get done, and how long it takes. All dates are rough at this point.

Also, to everyone trolling everyone else, just stop folks. GenHellSpawn can dislike my writing and demo if he wants to. Just mean his tastes run very different from ours.

Actually I'm hoping not to be, for fear of being misrepresented.
Sorry to burst your bubble, Necro, but you're going to be given, at the very least, a passing mention in my RPG. I won't butcher you horribly, as you'll probably only be mentioned in passing, or as a character that never appears in-game except for in dialog.

Your appearance is a very interesting one, discarding a lot of previous expectations about your character, and revealing much about the world from a different, more Ultra perspective.

Do you mean early December?

What about length? Will this RPG take me 20 hours to finish or will this be shorter?

I retract my statement, this is only more eyeball-bursting tension. I will pay Ultra XP (1000 of them) to anyone with a screenshot of what this Ultra-surprise (if it is indeed not some horrible collaborative joke on the part of this thread) is and looks like. PM it to me, as i don't want to spoil any surprises for those lucky enough to be able to play the game for themselves.

EDIT: Bugger that, i'm installing a windows partition so i can play it. No spoilers.
