RON-style school-themed game(formerly Kids detective game)

Hmmm. We could make it a spin-off I suppose.

I think this is an OK idea, but if you want to compare to RON, your gonna have to put alot of effort into it. It's gonna have to stay fresh, so there's gonna have to have alot of new rooms in it, every episode.  Also it's gonna have to have new characters every so often, if not every episode, just like the rooms. The graphics, in my opionion, won't have to be amazing, but will have to be acceptable. The main character, will have to have a side-kick, get the hall monitor, detective atmosphere. An official website will have be started, and there will have to be rules for the community, who's making the episodes.

I think this is an interesting idea.   If I were doing it I would twist it a little differently.  For example, the whole hall monitor thing is part of the school burearacy, which I think of as inflexible and uncreative in their thinking.  Prime exhibit is the apparent inability of many school authuorities to make a distinction between a dangerous  weapon and the drawing of same.  Sorry, don't not trying to go political on you, just making a point about how the system normally works.    It seems to me that this is the antithesis of a crime solving super sleuth.  In addition, I imagine that in the name of justice, crime solving, and all that stuff a few rules would need to be broken from time to time; not something a hall monitor would get away with for very long.

My suggestion would be to have the main character be a skinny, brainy guy and his side kick be the tough ex-bully.   The storyline could go something like this:   Bully used to pick on Skinny and make fun of him.  Nothing really violent though.  Skinny finally tells Bully off  something  like "Some day your going to be in trouble and your size/strength won't be enough to get you out of it...".  So a few days later a serious crime is committed at School and Bully is the prime suspect.  Skinny  comes the the rescue and discovers his sleuthing talent.  He a Bully become friends and sleuthing partners for continuing episodes.   ...  Or something like that.    

In any case I think that there needs to be conflict not only with the bad guys but also with the authorities who are supposed to figure this stuff out.  

Anyway this is just my 2 cents worth.     It will be intersting to see where you go with it.
