Naphthol 7 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 I haven't read through this whole thread yet, I will in a moment though. I just hope i'm not way off base with this post. I'd like to throw out the idea of using this program here for development: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ being free, all members of the team working on the project can share files and various builds between onepony and another. espescially fantastic if you want to make use of high resolution graphics/animation without being as confined as with rpg maker. food for thought.

Gekoncze 327 October 12, 2012 Share October 12, 2012 (edited) I'm glad to see some pony games are being made. As from my view of an 'amateur' game developer I think there will be no serious problems as long as it is just 2D, which is quite easy to handle and the RPG maker should make it even more easier. Just make sure you make your team stay together. I have just a quick question. Which platforms do that RPG maker support? Will the game run on Linux or Mac? If not, will it at least run on Linux using wine? ( I can see no reason why it shouldn't work if the sowtware is payed, but you never know... ) Edited October 12, 2012 by Gekoncze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naphthol 7 October 12, 2012 Share October 12, 2012 I believe at this point we're planning on using unity3d rather than rpgmaker. (will be a 2d game) this point might still be in disscussion, but it should be usable on many platforms with this approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent505 661 October 14, 2012 Share October 14, 2012 0:42 of that video - all I heard was this And I we are going for the basic layout of that yes, although as far as battle goes we're still pretty undecided as to whether we are going for this exact style and still using the current players screen, or if we are going to switch to another screen during the fight, like this that our concept artist Naphthol drew up http://talesofequestria.mlpforums.com/attachment.php?aid=9 1 I've been watching you, all this time.

Super Writer 13 October 15, 2012 Share October 15, 2012 Dude, let me tell you this, if you want to make an RPG Maker game with a battle system AND make it fun, you have a lot of work ahead of you. The default battle system is never fun, but with a good script writer, you can pull off something amazing. Take it from a guy in the RM community for years, it's not easy, and if you want to not get over shadowed by other Pony RPGs coming out, you'll have to make something notable. Take some risks and find your identity. The two titles you should look out for are Pony Chronicles, which is being built to be simple yet very enjoyable, and the Lost Kingdom, which is bulky and more complicated. First thing you want is a script writer, get something going that looks good and is fun to use. Use default graphics for it. After making your battle system, you'll be able to tell what sprites you'll need, and bring in the artists to make the sprites. Finally, release a gameplay video and try to get more support behind your project. Equestria Gaming is a good place to start. If you play your cards right, you'll make a great game. If not... well... horrible FiM RPG I don't want to advertise... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsIsNotAlone 3,695 October 15, 2012 Share October 15, 2012 A fascinating idea you have, sir. Please TailsAlone this does. The story is kind of unique, in that an alien invasion is a little too far beyond canon and I'd rather the ponies face a threat from within Equestria. But I would not be opposed to helping you in the way I am most able: editing and proofreading the script. Should you ever need the services of a grammar nazi, you know where to find me.

It is still going to be a 2D turn based RPG with the 3D program so it'll be original that a way. Thanks for the advice A fascinating idea you have, sir. Please TailsAlone this does.

CloudFyre 848 October 25, 2012 Share October 25, 2012 An interesting idea - I could possibly compose some of the music for it, although I would need some of the artwork/animations to make sure that the music I'm writing "fits" with the story/mood/setting/etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storyboarding, texturing, ect. both of those sound very useful at this point. head over to the forum and drop an application. Right now, I think we could use some more people with some familiarity with Unity3D, some more visual artists, and some people to help brainstorm game mechanics. Though not nessesarilly all three in one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
