The Keys of Destiny really screws over my battle system (a lot of bugs in mine too), having plain hack-n-slash bores people to hell, card games are just outta the question. Huge RPGs such as WoW is already in the process.

RPGs really taken by people, so I think maybe a mini-game could be nice. The problem is: I'm outta ideas.... Anyone got some ideas I could consider?

Yes, I think you could make a Pac-Man style map.

The players' units move around collecting sheep, or glowing balls, or whathaveyou. They attempt to evade ghosts.

Well, heck, you know how Pac-Man works. You could make it more fun, like for every certain number of sheep you get, you can use extra abilities, or somesuch.

Umm, RPG is a genre, but for an RPG try making a keyboard controlled one.

You gotta understand that's some hella hard RPG to do. The only way keyboard RPG can fit in is turn-based 'cause it's hella hard to fight without turn-based.

And btw, the way I pointed out wasn't clear. Maybe sub-genre is more specific.

Well, how about Whack-a-mole?

Have peons appear, and if you can select it fast enough, it splatters and you get a point.

That's pretty rabidly simple, though.

I'm personally going for a RPG parody on everything. It's supposed to be fun so I can use any joke I want. As well, I can learn my basic triggering:>

Fun to see are fun maps. I definitely want to try and remake grocery store wars and offensive strike one day. I saw remakes and they really really want to make me punch those inept bastards in the face. Thanks for ruining a legend >.>

I think SentryIII (original creator of Off. Strike) should remake it. He made it so damn good, maybe he'll do it again.

BTW: Grocery Store Wars was hella good :D

I personally think SentryIII should remake his maps but leave out the BC thing. Goddamn his maps owned. And Offensive Strike was a masterpiece, just as many other maps of his.
Grocery Store... I doubt one can catch the atmosphere again, the main problem that I see is the differing AI. If there's a way to remodel the SC/BW AI in WC3(with the same model of chasing one guy) there isn't much that stands in the way of things.
