Anything I want?

There will be Dragons.

I say we just go until we find something we like. Giving constructive criticism to those that need improvement also.

But I don't have Flash. If you really wanted, though, I could make a SIMPLE game in Ruby with a combat system, movement system, dialogue system, etc. I won't go get one of Nukia's programmers since they're all way too busy (And none have Flash). I'm sorry, Pere :C

Like I said, however...I can do games in Ruby. And probably games in C++/C#, never tried, though. Although, I can, with enough time, create a browser game in JavaScript. Just it's insanely difficult so I won't do it.

See? He'll do fine.

I had an idea before for the tutorial. I think it fits pretty well.

I have a concept, but also a question: this game implies that the Player Character is a newcomer to TR right? so we all exist as characters in the game already?

by Peregrine on Thu May 05, 2011 4:49 am

That sounds accurate to me.

by Mrsebi on Thu May 05, 2011 4:49 am

well, we can safely assume nobody in their right mind would ever want to join us so... maybe shipwrecked passenger?

by Peregrine on Thu May 05, 2011 4:57 am

My vision of it was that Cial was just picking some random person off the street to join as the chosen one.

by Snukems on Thu May 05, 2011 5:21 am

I have an idea.

That Ganon guy from a long time ago who trolled in his intro joins TR. He is the player.

Ganon: LOL HAI WAZZUP???
Cial: No.
Ganon: What? Are you so elitist as to not allow me to joke around?
Cial: No, I just don't like people who say internet-only things in real life.
Ganon: But we're in a game.
Cial: True.

by Tim Hortans on Thu May 05, 2011 6:14 am

Expanding on pere's idea, maybe Cial went in and found some drunk in Yulgar's Inn and it sounded like a good idea at the time.

I also find Nuke's idea intriguing, but I don't really see how it would fit into any storyline. He went inactive anyways.

by Snukems on Thu May 05, 2011 6:42 pm

Tim, Ganon was banned, otherwise he'd be active...although, if he came back, I'd make him not troll TR. Although really, that was the point. He'd be new if he came back using his real internet name. Maybe we could make him the male player, and call the female "Sarah". Of course, however, I would try to make the player able to get a custom name.

I'll put a draft for the first mission in now, because I'm at school before it actually opens and can't go inside:

Starting scene:
Player walks into TR castle, reading out loud.
Player: HEY I HEARD YOU GUYS ARE ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS AGAIN.
Player calls *Nuke on Skype.
Player: Hey man can you get someone to let the lifty bridge thing to come down so I can go over it?
Nuke: Yeah but only a PRINCE (Admin) can do that.
Nuke adds Shadow to the call.
Shadow: HOW DID YOU ADD ME I DON'T EVEN HAVE SKYPE?
Nuke: Using the power of lulz.
Shadow: I'm serious.
Nuke: I used your MSN address. I don't know how and I don't think I want to know how.
Shadow: Well then. Since you did the impossible, what is the reason for you calling me on Skype?
Nuke: There are three people in this call. Ganon there is a new recruit. Let him get in, please?
Shadow: Sure.
The bridge is now down.
Player: Thank you Mr. Shadow.
Shadow: k. Anything else, Nuke?
Nuke: Who'll show this guy around TR Castle?
Shadow: You decide. I'm leaving the call.
Nuke: Alright.
Shadow leaves. Nuke adds Rob.
Rob: What is it?
Nuke: Can you show [[Player]] TR Castle? As in a tutorial-ish thing.
Rob: Sure.
Nuke: Go to the front entrance. He'll be there.
Rob: Nothing better to do, I guess.
Player: Ok, Rob!

I'll work on the rest in a few minutes. Any thoughts?

by DigDog on Thu May 05, 2011 6:45 pm

...maybe we should let someone else write the script.

by Snukems on Thu May 05, 2011 6:46 pm

Yep. I really was just writing that since I had about 40 minutes with nothing to do.
