Imarion RPG (single-player)

New Team Imarion members looking to be recruited.

Terrain- Metal_Sonic64, Mouse.Pad

Triggers- Moose-Head_Man, JohnFN

Hero Creation- Metal_Sonic, Stoner-Peon69, Mouse.Pad

Item Creation- JohnFN, Metal_Sonic64, Mouse.Pad

I have changed the style of this Imarion map do to POPULAR DEMAND and the fact that LIMITLESS OPPURTUNITY can be found in the single-player RPG genre.

We will be using the GAME CACHES instead of save/load codes. The alchemy system will be back, but even MORE intense (thanks to singleplayer, we wont have many problems. ). Expect more items possible.

There will be two areas. Imarion, a vast desert filled with temples and ruins of the "Forgotten Masters". The vast desert is littered with necrolytes and the sort who tell tales of the masters and their monuments.

The next area, Kerrain, a beautiful jungle filled with odd creatures. Underneath will be the tomb of Imarion, the final boss area. :)

each tomb will be a new area. New area = New map (yet again, awesome singleplayer abilities). That way we can conserve space.. We will make half the alchemy items in one area, and the better alchemy items in the other.

Due to the fact that there will be an enormous amount of temples, Mouse.Pad might work on terrain too. Is that OK, MP?

BTW, all minimaps (temples, caverns, dungeons) will be max size. We want this map to be huge.

Really! Cool! I'l start Imarion desert now. Epic size... This is going to be fun :) Are we going to use anything else that I mentioned in the post in the other thread, you should read it if you haven't.

Singleplayer! Gasp! It cant be!

Personally I think it would be a lot better in multiplayer. Imagine all the things you could do in singleplayer - multiplayer quests, larger battles, a ranking system like we wanted from the beginning, trading of items, that mining system I mentioned earlier would actually be USEFUL... I just get a lot more out of a multiplayer map, not to mention instant feedback whenever you host it...

Maybe im asking for too much this time but, that was really what I was driving at from the beginning...

What do you guys have to say?

Well, I would seriously rather a singlerplayer map. Here is why:

You don't have to worry about size, people will download it :)

People take advantage of their uber heros and own all the newbs >.<

You don't have to worry about n00bs who want you to make the map better no matter how good it is!

Plus singler player offers more options: Dungeons on different maps, no need for a long save code, gameplay can be saved and loaded at will, so games can be very long, You can make it big!

I agree...


Its just... You get a lot more out of a multiplayer map... Thats OK though.

Maybe I'll make my own! muahaha :D

Sunken ruins, its my all time favorite. Maybe that for the coastal areas, combined with a village for inland?

Heh, exactly what I was thinking. I was hoping we would go for an RPG like the one I described in the other thread, I'l copy it over here for those who want to read it.

I absoloutely LOVE mining systems, and it would be awseome if this map went even farther into an RPG, with different trade skills, quests, but still pretty linear. It would also be cool to... like... interact with the terrain to aquire items, say you approach a strange looking flower, and a message pops up: Would you like to pick a flower petal? Something like that. I had a wild idea a few days ago, it was after seeing a preview for a Nintendo DS game. My idea was if it was possible make the game pass in real time, at least while your playing the game, so one game hour would be equal to one real hour. It would be about a traveller and his wife who got stranded on a strange island in a freak storm, now they must scour the land to survive, while attempting to find a way to contact someone. You would be able to interact with the enviroment and combine items to make tools and equipement. The first few hours would be a bit of a tutorial, showing you the game's systems. In this time you would begin to find items to assemble a bit of a camp, you would have a choice of a few areas, then you set up your combined items when you choose your area. After that, gameplay switchs to a bit more of an RPG, you need to explore the rest of the Island, looking for more supplies and ways to contact outsiders. You would venture inside caves, through lush forests, and maybe even atop a volcano! I planned it for a single player map, with submaps for caves and other small areas. I thought it was a bit ambitious, but if Team Imarion put some effort into it we could be famous!

Thats my idea for an RPG :) Lots of stuff to do, wouldn't get boring for a while... Can we do it?

jebus didn't notice there was a new thread until just now, anyways here is my herbalism system

ALSO if we make it single player, my music will PWN!!!


EDIT: i was thinking, it would be really nice if we could make 1 thread that just had Imarion Project attachements, that way if i want you guys to look at something, you don't need to search through the whole thread of short posts and stuff.

I'm not here to get famous, Grant. OK, yes I am, yes we ALL are, but we're also here to have fun. This new RPG smashes our limits and takes us to a level few try.

Sunken ruins. Hell yes sunken ruins for desert. Also sunken ruins for forest. We'll be making 3 islands accessible by boat as well.

There will be: three islands-

World Top, a frozen wastleland island.
Arudien, a densley populated village that was recently burnt to the ground by demons.
Ascensia, a beautiful city filled with halfcentaurs who believe they are protectors of the World, and believe they have the location of Imarion's tomb.

There will be 12 Tombs of the 12 False Gods, killed by Imarion thousands of years ago. They are located in Imarion Desert. Each one has a different level boss at the end.

There will be 5 catacombs as side-quests. One will be a side-quests about scourging the dwarfcaves of undead. One will be a dwarfcave robbery, but will make the dwarves hostile towards you. Another will be killing an Avatar of the dwarves, a dead suit of armor terrorizing the dwarven cavecities.

OK! UNDERSTAND THAT ALL YOU NEED IS A DOORWAY ON THE MAIN MAP (DESERT, FOREST) TO THE UNDERGROUND FOR TOMBS AND CATACOMBS. There will be lots of tombs and catacombs.

My gosh. No survival map yet, MS. Everyone, stop trying to throw in silly ideas. Single-player RPG. Thanks

please look at my herb system! and read my previous post, i also found another rockin' song we could put in our RPG stoner


also stoner, now would be a terrific time for several sound-related aggendes.


#1 do you have any ideas for custom sound effects (voice overs, custom attack noises, etc.)

#2 what types of music do you want for our RPG (disco, Guns and Roses ^_^ , dramatic music, piano (sad) music, piano (happy) music, etc.)

THANKS!

EDIT: i figured i will also add some sadder songs, so you can see some more variety of songs we could use for the RPG

My goal, if there is something sad, i shall make them cry

if a main character whom you know and love, *cough cough (whats-her-name) from FF7, dies i want you to be angry at whomever kill her/him

If there is excitemant and breath-taking scariness, i shall make your sh!t your pants!

We will need an adventurous 3 minute song, and we need several of them. LOTR style. Majestic, kind of sad. sorry, no GnR. :P
