School: The RPG

Posts : 92 Points : 114 Join date : 2010-09-10

Boredom whilst at real school is quite common, so, naturally, my IRL friends and I come up with interesting, to us, topics to speak of. Many great things have come to be this way, including a silly turn-based combat game we used to play after lunch, the ever-infamous "Story Without a Name," and my inspiration to attempt to name my Pokemon like they're Mega Man bosses.

Boredom has stricken again, with its long-reaching blade, and hence, we started talking on this subject: "What if school worked like an RPG?" (No, not rocket-propelled grenade)

Despite what you may think, we do have the technology to make such a game. There's a programmer amongst us somewhere, maybe it's you, yes, you, you who is reading this right now, and recently, I downloaded Beneton Movie GIF for whatever reason.

So, discuss this idea here, while we continue bulding on our foundation at school.

It may be me.
I would be able and willing to help you with that.

I might do something, but would it be middle or high school rpg?

Awesome. It may, indeed, be you, but then again, maybe it's Crazy.

My friend has stated something already on this subject: The school will be one massive K-12 learning facility.
We're tackling the idea in sections, starting with K-4, then 5-8, then 9-12.

But 5-8 is boring.

Maybe, but we can make it not so.

Before I begin dumping my IRL friends' on your heads, I'd like to hear some of yours.

I'm done with programming. I don't have the patience for it.

But if it's just a simple game then RPG Maker could be used D:

So...no Kirby Chronicles? I was really looking forward to that... T.T

As far as I can tell, we're going for a syle similar to that of EBF3, if that information helps at all.

EBF3 stands for

Epic
Battle
Fantasy
3 doesn't stand for anything, because nobody loves it.

I mentioned it in the chat oce, but I'm surprised you don't remember.

Subject: Re: School: The RPG Thu Sep 23, 2010 6:19 pm

i knew it was unoriginal D: i just couldn't remember what it was

Funny, that's exactly what you said in the chat.

And stop yelling at it and bashing it without playing it. Then you can make the Zero Punctuation video.

i dont have to play it to know the name is unoriginal

...It's a sequel, what did you expect?

Subject: Re: School: The RPG Thu Sep 23, 2010 6:29 pm

Epic Battle Fantasy = not so original in the first place D:

Why not K-5? Why no PK(lol)?

One; our school's been divvied up so that fifth grade is with the middle schoolers, so yeah.

Nice.
It's better; that way, you can have freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors for each thing.

Finally, a trickle of lighter fluid! Maybe now we can start a fire...
That's a good idea. Kindergarten could serve as a tutorial, and we could have the rest seperated into four sections.

I was thinking you could be a high school senior fighting wave after wave of children. In a mall. With a rake/shotgun.

...It's not exactly what we had planned, but I shall relay this idea to Varogon--that's the screen name of my IRL friend.

NEWS:

Ghosty, Varogon was pleased with your idea. We may attempt to implement it as something entirely seperate, "Endurance Mode" (Attempt to defeat as many opponents as you can, same level as you, without dying), or we could possibly make this a minigame.

IN OTHER NEWS...
Please ship this over to the "Building a Game/Hack" section. I hardly think this is Spam.

What, upset about having to move the thread, or upset about how Varogon took your idea?
