RPG MAKING HUZZAH!
Well guys! Let's make our OWN rpg! Not forum-based but like Final Fantasy. It will be profit-less, voluntary work, and you are more than welcomed to contribute with what you want! We'll be needing tiles, art, sprites, monsters... anything and everything.
The idea behind the RPG is to make a fun game that tries to upgrade the idea of life, you know, like trying to remind the people of what it's worth, and of suffering. Hard, no? Well, worry not because God will be with us -- and not in an obscure, camouflaged way but in an all-out manner (He is even planned to appear in the storyline a few times [please nobody be offended, this is being done with the best wishes! and if He isn't offended, you shouldn't be].
Here's a resume of the storyline so far:
[ Sam is a young man whose father is a renown general and his greatest dream is to become a war hero and be known by everyone. However, during a training session, he suffers a terrible accident which costs him a leg from the knee down and his future in the army.
Heart-broken, his father tells him he will leave to the war and leaves him in the town with a lot of money to hold out while he returns -- however, Sam wastes it all betting and he loses even house and everything he has.
Then a man asks him to take a package to someone named Mark in the local Inn. He does and discovers Mark is a crippled man who has been sick in bed for five years. He cannot believe that Mark is despite of his condition, an extremely sweet and cheerful person despite of his apparently hopeless condition.
With nowhere to go, Sam is allowed to stay on the Inn if he complies with simple chores to pay for his food. He ends up in the same room than Mark, by the way, who tells him he will find out the secret of his joy.
That night he dreams with a mysterious blue forest. He walks around such place and soon discover that he has both legs again and begin wondering if the accident and so forth were the dream and this was reality. He then hears two men talking and goes to investigate.
He sees an angel and hears him complain about a terrible smell and disappear; the other man has his back turned on him and turns out to be, yes, Mark, who isn't crippled anymore and after asking him for his name he tells him about sins and the need for confession.
Sam suddenly wakes up and realizes with horror how Mark now knows his name. He goes to the inkeeper in the middle of the night and asks him if he knows his name but he doesn't so he couldn't have told Mark. Therefore he is incapable of sleeping anymore that night.
Eventually, Sam converts and the angel (in dreams) tells him that because of its evils, the town people have brought upon themselves a great punishment from heaven. However, God has decided to give them a chance to rectify and that they can try to win time for them by...
... battling monsters!
But the battles are unlike most anything you've seen and not at all violent. The moves are like out of a comedy and the monsters and characters are defeated when they run out of "bravery points", which can be restored by doing good deeds in the real world, going to Mass, praying the rosary, etc.
Later on, Mark starts turning increasingly powerful in the dream world and weaker in the real world. He dies and the party of heroes is headless without him, however.... more later, yah]
