Destiny of the Minara Alliance
« on: August 02, 2013, 02:59:08 pm »
I guess I forgot to make a thread for this :-[

This is the RPG I've been working on for the past... who knows how long. :-[

Currently, it's unreleased (and will probably be so as long as there are glitches).
And sadly, it's short due to the limits of RPG Maker VX Ace Lite.

A member of the Minara Alliance, and a girl from Sylraphia. She is an excellent spy.

I have a book of game design.


Let me help you a bit:

What do you want the theme to be on?

Is it experience based, or truth based (that is, an moral that everyone believed in, like "Love always triumph everything, no matter what happens" (in a romantic story) )?

Also, I have the full version of the software, with a lot less limitations and the ability to customize the game using a real scripting language (like, you could make the battle system resemble Pokemon, resemble Final Fantasy, etc.).

Let me know if you need my help.

Hard to explain.
The protagonist finds herself in prison, which appears to have been besieged.
Then, after trying to leave and losing consciousness due to having been poisoned by a slime monster thing, she wakes up in a crystal world... and then, a timer starts ticking for her to get to the center of the room before she dies from being poisoned (again). (There are some points where she has to jump over crevices.)
After she gets there, she is teleported to the Minara Islands, on Elvania. The location is marked by an oasis in the map below.

She then goes to a nearby cave, and finds a hidden group known as the Minara Alliance.
... After a long meeting, two new characters join the party - Hayden and Renée - and... well, I dunno what happens then, I haven't tested that far yet. :-[
I think I already implemented a day-system of sorts (i.e. resting at the inn or at HQ on a Monday changes the in-game day to Tuesday, and resting at HQ or an inn on a Tuesday makes the in-game day turn into a Wednesday).
And at some point I had planned for Hayden (whose in-game name can't be changed) to betray the Alliance.
That's all I can remember from the top of my head without opening RPG Maker VX Ace Lite.

There is also plans for a bonus area that is inside a poisonous swamp, leading to a tower which is full of poisonous gases.
And also a group of five bosses that must be defeated, apparently. They all have 20 000 HP, and most of their stats are 999. (Which probably should change.)

Is it experience based, or truth based (that is, an moral that everyone believed in, like "Love always triumph everything, no matter what happens" (in a romantic story) )?
I don't know yet :-[

Also, I have the full version of the software, with a lot less limitations and the ability to customize the game using a real scripting language (like, you could make the battle system resemble Pokemon, resemble Final Fantasy, etc.).

I will, thanks...

Note that my bad habit of procrastinating might not be in your favour (heck, chapter 3 of Dragon Riders is already in development hell partly because of this).

The theme could be adventures in marvel lands.

Anyway, it's also easier to develop your game if you have a problem statement.

Just read the title:

Minara = Tower


Yes, Hindi translation means tower or some high structure. Maybe the Minara Alliance are at the top of the world (?) at the end of the game.
Happy Chinese New Year to all of you at DRPF!

... That's coincidence. :o

The Nara Clan from Naruto have the Shadow Possession Jutsu. The Alliance is shrouded in mystery, as they basically operate in the shadows. That's where the "nara" part fits in.
The "mi" part comes from the word "me", as the Alliance only thinks about themselves.

Their headquarters are underground, though.

I meant to say that they win in the end. Winning puts you on the top, am I not right?
