Let's Make An (MMO)RPG!!! (Theoretically Of Course)

Hey everyone! How are all of you doing on this holiday season? I really do apologize for not posting anything in time for X-mas. I had a manip in the works but then I lost the vigor for it once I realized that I had done a lot of unnecessary work on it and wasted a lot of time. (Although it was also a bit of a relief.)

Any who, I received FF14: ARR for X-mas and it got me thinking. Haven't you ever wanted more out of an RPG; even a great one like FF14? I decided to make a thread where we can all design an MMO together. Don't think about this in just realistic terms. All ideas are welcome whether you can implement them now or not.

Just think of ideas as though you had your own multi-million dollar company ready to make it all happen. If nothing else, this should be pretty fun. :)

thats kind of my lifelong dream...although i'd just as soon make a single player rpg like older final fantasies. and yes i would love for it to involve hypnosis. definitely timetravel would be cool, maybe a steampunk or medieval vibe but carried out throughout numerous centuries and a complex plot that inovlves quasi-immortal beings.

I was about to point out that I'm in the midst of learning the Unity game engine, but then I noticed the bit about this thread being hypothetical only. Drat.

I edited the OP. I don't want anyone to feel left out.

Huzzah! Like I said I use Unity. It's a pretty good engine. I was about to get started on my first big project... on the other hand, I could use all the practice I can get. If there are people who can create models, textures, etc. I'd be happy to be part of such a team.

I think one thing I would want to see would be a combat system that is a lot more versatile than just doing specials and waiting for them to recharge. I would want it to be more like a fighting game (like the Ninja Storm games). I know that it would make PvP a lot more interesting.

What if it was a hypnosis/mind control related MMO? :3

First, you make your character. Lots of customization, like PSO2. Then you select a basic induction skill, and then later that will level up and branch off into new skills. Then you get dropped into the world.

Instead of having HP, you have WP, WillPower. When someone uses induction techniques on you, you lose WP. When your WP is depleted, you become forced to obey any commands (chosen from a menu) by the person who depleted it. This can of course lead to sexual situations, but it can also be used to direct your character into deceiving other players into traps or using your own hypnotic powers on them to make them a slave of your master.

To add, there would be no true "account" system, in that once your character is hypnotized and compromised, you essentially lose the right to use them as you desire. The person who captured you can call your character to assist them at any time, and even if someone were on your friend's list and PMed you, it would go to them and that character instead of you yourself.

Once you've lost the rights to your character, you can indeed continue using them (as the original owner of the character has login rights over the character), but that character still must obey any commands the master gives. You could just make a new character and start again too.

And if someone were to capture a master... then they also gain everyone that master has captured as well.

Finding an artist has been a toughy for me too. Been using Stencyl to make flash games, but can't move past mediocre without an artist and every time i find an artist, I get abandoned a few weeks into the project.

yeah i like that, a whole mmo based on players hypnotizing one another :D in this game becoming hypnotized would be no joke, i imagine it would take absolutely absurd amounts of grinding to escape once a character is hypnotized.

Yeah, I like LittleToyMaker's idea, but it should have the addendum that it is possible to somehow escape. A game like that one would be really tricky to balance, because once someone started taking control and building an army it wouldn't matter how many more characters you made--newcomers would still be completely stuck. A nice idea as hypno-fantasies go, but absolutely horrifying in game design terms. Ideally I'd want something that works whether you want to mess around or actually get into the gameplay.

We could make Corruption of Champions: the MMO. It would be so depraved, the whole planet would balk at the idea then secretly play it when alone.

I have some modeling skills, though I know myself well enough to not make any promises or try to join a team. I am not the most dependable individual.

Does it have anything to do with Champions Online? >>
