Have an idea, but I need some help

[Rainbow Sparkle 70]

I have a few ideas for fan-games involving MLP FIM, but I need some assistance. At the moment, the main assistance I need is tutorials for the RPG Maker VX program, and figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask around here and see if anyone here has either any experience (and might be able to help me learn how to use it) or if anyone can point me to a tutorial that will help me learn (preferably one that helps walk you thru creating a short generic rpg)

 

Once I figure out how to actually use the program, the only think I'd probably need help with would be sprites for all the overworld ponies, and probably vectors for cutscenes, character mugshots, and enemies.

 

to share a few of the ideas I have;

 

Adventures of the Cutie Mark Crusaders: This game would focus on the CMC, with occasional bits from some of the other canon foals and some oc foals. It'd be a short game, likely ending with them either A)getting their cutie marks, or B)Going on an actual real adventure to help save Equestria

 

The Misadventures of The Great and Powerful Trixie: This would game would, obviously, focus on Trixie as she gets swept up in an grand adventure that ranges from finding a foals lost doll to stopping a cult from releasing Discord to preventing a war with the neighboring Griffon Kingdom.

 

and my last idea I have at the moment

 

Return of Discord: Starring the Mane Six (with most play being done as Twilight Sparkle) It starts out like most episodes with Twilight helping her friends and trying to learn more about the magic of friendship. But then, while helping the Apple Family with some of their chores (big mac hurt himself...again) AJ and Twilight hear Apple Bloom and the other crusaders shrieking. The three foals were helping out by making blueberry jelly, when all of a sudden the jelly turned into slime monsters and started chasing them!

 

This event is followed by several others, with seemingly no source for their cause. But after solving some of the strange occurances, things go back to normal for a month...and then all tartarus breaks loose as a wave of chaos erupts across Equestria. This time, its clear whose behind things, for his signature cotton candy clouds raining chocolate milk leave no doubt in their minds. Discord is back.

 

Rushing off to Canterlot, they find it horribly twisted, the palace transformed into a fortress of chaos. Inside, they find Celestia and Luna trapped in a cage, their forms reverted to their days as filly's. Discord informs them that this time, he's come prepared, and that if they want to stop him, they'll have to go retrieve the Elements of Harmony from his own six element wielders, who carry the Elements of Disharmony.

 

This would be the second half of the game, where they must venture forth to find and defeat their opposite elements, retake the EoH, and stop Discord.

 

 

 

Anywhosit, I appreciate any advise or assistance anyone is willing to lend me. I'd really like to be able to pull at least one of these off!

At first I thought your idea with Trixie, was the only Original one, but your return of discord sounds amazing except, I bet he would do a trick so that they weren't actually the elements of harmony, or... Something.

 

I can't really help you, sorry, but, good luck with it!

The CMC one isn't all that original in concept, the idea would be to come up with original adventures and shenanigans for them to to get into. The Trixie one is partially based off a fanfic idea I had, and the Return of Discord thing came to me as I was typing up the posts.

 

As for a trick...I had a funny idea for something he could do, but it'd probably have those who play the game and beat it come after me with rubber chickens.

I love the concept for the Return of Discord.

 

I'm not much of a game designer, but as a writer I could possibly help come up with plot elements and events.
