Disclaimer themed absurdity: I literally just joined this site, so let me know if I'm doing anything wrong by posting this (Like if I'm just repeating a thread or making an blatantly uninteresting one) via a gentle pat on the head and sending me on my naive little way instead of repetitive flaming with countless verbal groin kicks...
Odd random rant out of the way, here's the story:
I was bored the other day and decided to pick up my copy of RPG Maker 3 and take a stab at making a new fun creative story, which I think is coming along fairly well, then I had one of those sudden realizations that went somewhat like this; 'HEY! I should see how the interwebs reacts to a thread built upon sharing creative ideas for the game!' Well as it turns out...not so well. I made the mistake of trying to post a similar thread in an anime themed forum. Admittedly not the smartest idea, but I thought if I posted it in the 'general discussion' section I would have fair luck, but apparently they just like bashing Twilight and talking about anime in anything but the anime section (The bashing Twilight part was fun, I hate that series) So now I figured I'd try it in a new forum one related to, this may sound crazy but bear with me... Video Games!
Anywho, now that my big rant is over, does anyone else enjoy the game? do you have any ideas that you want to share?
If you're up for more reading, or just skipped all the insane ranting to get to the point then here's the storyline I'm working on right now, keep in mind it's not fully formed yet so there are some holes and some tweaking to be done:
The story starts off with a man named 'Calypso' as the main character, he is in a town called 'Valio' in the land of 'Argentos' and it soon becomes apparent that he is the general for the troops that defend the town. You also quickly discover that he had a mentor by the name of 'Chibara' who passed away for unknown reasons. While the town still mourns his loss they also have accepted Calypso as their general due to his ties with Chibara and have placed their faith in him.
Soon after being appointed general of the troops of Valio the town is attacked by a neighboring town named 'Norle' It doesn't take long at all for Calypso to realize that something doesn't sit right with the attacking army, they appear soulless and 'empty'. He gathers some of his troops as quickly as he can and leads an attack against the invading army, after a long fight through the night Calypso hurries to the leader of his town and requests permission for an immediate counterattack against the strange forces of Norle to gather some more information on why the attacking forces seemed so 'otherworldly', when his request is denied the general gathers what little troops will fall behind him and decides to lead somewhat of a suicide mission to gain the intelligence he desires. He leads what little forces he can straight into the country, where he gather the necessary information but is soon defeated by an opposing general. Luckily he survives the attack, but finds he has somehow returned to his own town, now shunned by the leader and the townspeople for sacrificing the lives of his followers for such a rash decision...
...Sorry my fingers are starting to cramp from all the typing so I'll cut it off there, but I would appreciate opinions on this tidbit of what I have so far, positive and negative, like I said there's quite a bit more though that I'll probably type later...
