Hey everyone, Atlin here. This is sorta a secret project I was working on for a month now. I was looking through some old topics and saw Thoul post this so I figured I'd try my take at it. =P
Thoul wrote:Hey, that is really good work. It captures the real feel of Phantasy Star IV much better than that horrible pirate artwork.
I wish I could help with your game too, but I just don't have the time. I'd like to integrate an online game into the forum at some point, but finding the time to start all of that is hard.
So I decided to start to make a Fringes of Algo RP. Basically I've got a few notes and even a character sheet made up. However with the size of how I want to make this, I'll need a lot of help.
Idea List
- Make it as if it were a MMO just as a RP version
- Create a Stat system, preferably through either sentence/post count or some other means to gain experience (Exp)
- Create a member address system for more depth, wouldn't be able to obtain a member address unless you swap with someone
- Hold events every now and then just as a real MMO would
- Each character has a personal log upon which they would record their adventure, this would tell each player what they did on that particular day
- Create a certain logic in this game such as no being in multiple places at once, more than one thing happening at a time and what not (Mind you this would mean we'd need more than 1 topic for this RP, and that's Thouls call)
- Create a list of skills which each skill starts at level 1 but can level up as they are used
- Create character classes which level up and evolve as you gain levels. an example of this would be to start out as a peasant, become a swordsman, blade user, blade master, etc.
- Create a world with various continents, lands, cities, towns, dungeons, fields, etc.
- Create a system so NPCs (Non-Playable Character, think enemies, shop owners, etc.) will be strong based off of how strong a PC (Playable character, this would be us Fringers) is. If done properly, some NPC's may actually be able to evolve and level up themselves.
- Create a time system so we can establish a night/day system which may or may not effect enemy encounters and such
Character Sheet
Well, this is the character sheet I have so far. This is what I have based it upon up to this point for most of the above ideas. I put it in a quote so it'd be easier to read.

Conclusion
AS I said, I need help with this. Mind you, a lot of my ideas may or may not be brought into effect. Heck, this RP may not even get started for awhile. But I need help none-the-less. So please, tell me what you think. Have any ideas? Questions? Comments? Concerns?
Feel free to give me your two cents, after all it's a penny for your thoughts right?
