For those who don't know, and I'm guessing that none of you don't know, I am currently making a RPG Maker VX Ace game called 'The Game For People Without Internet or Cable". It's a....
It's a thing. A thing that was made into a thing when my mom didn't pay for the internet bills and we lost it and I was very bored. So, I tried to make a game me and my siblings could enjoy while the internet was out.
What should have been, or might have been, or could have been, a short and simple adventure featuring a team of four characters who shouldn't be heroes, up against a hooded unknown man/women/thing, became a seemingly bigger project, filled with what I think is a pretty dumb story, full of crazy and wacky characters (Note: You shall NEVER meet that many characters who seem sane/normal. This includes NPCs. There is a character who's incompetent, lazy, and doesn't do their job well, a character who states she's very sane, but is somehow also insane at the same time, a character who has a contract with the devil himself, a character who keeps saying 'Alrighty then' a lot and is a bad protector of a island, a character who's obsessed with Candy Apples and is dumb, a character not from this world and is in love with someone which makes them a lesbian, a character who's a dictator and captain at the same time and uses a yo-yo of all things as a weapon.), many areas using either RPG Maker VX Ace preset tilesets or tilesets made by many people that I shall make sure I'll give them credit for, a TP system trying to wish it was like the Bravely/Default system from Bravely Default, but it can't, due to me not knowing how to do advanced scripts, and much, much, more.
I have talked about this game sometimes in
ZetaPlays' site (Go
here, click on 'Midnight Crew' to see some awesome streams from my friends and, possibly, me! This is also technically the part of Zeta's site that most people, including Zeta, goes to), until, in a stream I was in (Again, Midnight Crew/Stream Central. I am mostly in these voice acting streams that are on Fridays, which is when I actually gave some sort of info on the game), someone asked a question about the plot of my game.
Do you want to guess what happens next?
This pretty much boosted my spirit to work on WIOC a lot more. To the point where most of the time, I may not work on some other stuff, like a post for a Roleplay I'm in. I'm still very lazy, but I still work on this game a lot. There ARE two other projects I am currently making on RPG Maker VX, and I don't really do that much work (Aka no work done at all) on them, unlike WIOC.
These two projects are called 'God of Wishes' and 'Quest for the Candy Apples'. QCA is supposed to be a puzzle game that is now going to crossed over with WIOC or may possibly may now be in the same continuity as WIOC and it may now be a prequel to it, kinda. There's a possible chance it may be the oddball out of the three and it may not be liked when it comes out, cause...well, it's a puzzle game made on RPG Maker VX Ace, and not a RPG most people may expect.
GOW was going to be the first RPG Maker VX Ace game I wanted to show to everyone. It was gonna be my grand beginning. My magnum opus. I mostly worked on that game, using all the things RPG Maker VX Ace gave me. Simple tilesets, a simple character generator with not cool facesets, and other things. I made many other things using the presets, but made sure some stuff were original. Like the characters, the areas, the story, and much more. I even made sure that a demo version was made by making some demo only areas and stuff. I wanted it to be a big thing. Until I decided to make WIOC. Then GOW was now not gonna be the big thing since a Death Battle featuring Chuck Norris. Although, I still want to work on it, but I do know it has some problems that I want to make sure are fixed. These two projects are still being worked on, and I might have to rework a lot of stuff in them, especially God of Wishes, and I hope you guys might like them when they are released.
Now then....About Without Internet or Cable.....
Obviously, the game is almost crossing the finish line for a demo release. Here's when I am hoping to release the first demo after the following is done. This is also a bit of a checklist:
- I need to make sure the demo at least end in the third chapter. Or maybe I should do that for the next demo, and let the first one end at the first chapter. Hmm....
- There will be two characters to play as and use: Kristia Miruki and Rezio Alticeut.
- The prologue has two temporary team members that shall be used for only one boss battle, but they will become your permanent members at some point in the full version: Ysagi and Umesagi.
- I need to make more enemies. In fact, I need to make some bosses. I'll have to think of some enemy and boss ideas later.
- I am thinking about making some animated cutscenes. I already have the idea of one cutscene floating around my mind for awhile. There's a possible chance it will not be as good as I thought it up to be, but I've been meaning to make a animation for a while. May make it through Flipnote Studio 3D or Inchworm Animation on my 3DS.
- More sidequests. There's currently only one, it features a letter, and it might be like that letter quest in Paper Mario (ZAI AM ZE PARRYKARRY AND I DELIVER ZE LETTERS, BITCH. I AM FRENCH I GUESS), where you have to give letters to a lot of people. This isn't a RPG unless we have some sidequests.
- Make more jokes about the usual RPG tropes and make a lot of jokes about stuff on the internet. I have stated to someone on that stream that it was going to be a RPG that parodies a lot of stuff.
- Find some more tilesets that seem cool to put in my game and learn more about using tilesets in VX Ace.
- Make sure there's some good music and stuff.
- Do some themes around the many areas. Besides, this isn't a world where everything is like the middle-ages and some shit. Also, this world has a island which runs the radio and has internet. On a island. Which should not even be happening, cause islands don't have electrical input and some shit.
- Speaking of that, do not explain most of the stuff that doesn't make sense.
- Make a custom title screen. I have already made a custom Game Over screen, so why not make another custom screen?
Anyways, I might put a picture that can be considered a teaser pic for the game, since it's actually in the game and stuff. I hope to see you soon! ;3
