Role Play Into Game?

[Ghost]

Er, not really. If there is a role-playing system, and that system is ready
(more or less), doesn't that mean that he's going to use it in the game? I referred to the RPG aspect in some of my posts here, and Hero never complained.

I'm confused now  Hero? Help?

I thought you understood "more less complete" to mean that the RPG system is in production.  My bad. 

He was saying that him and his friends have finished ("more or less") acting out the world in their chat room role play.  Reread his posts, he never said anything about an RPG.  He even specifically mentioned that the role play took place on MSN.  Maybe I've just talked to him on MSN enough to be able to wade through his poor grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Though this should have made it pretty clear: 

Seeing that you want to make it an RPG, do tell us about the system you're going to use: Japanese RPG, Diablo-style hackfest, open-ended a la Elder Scrolls? Juding from the story I'd say Japanese style, with fixed characters and heavy emphasis on the plot... It has that FF ring to it, somehow.

Oh no no this will be a interactive story/point and click plot branching game

Right then, my bad.

Vince is right as always I, really worried about my art  though because i want to give a accurate replication of the world how can i do that with stick people?

My advice is as I said several posts before.  Don't worry about the art.  Do the best you can, but concentrate on -- first of all -- finishing a game, and -- second of all -- telling your story.

When I went to the Game Developers Conference several years ago as a college student, I talked to as many industry folks as I could.  I went to dinner one night with a designer and programmer at a minor development house that has recently been bought up by EA.  I told him I had all these ideas that I was saving until I could get a team together.  He advised me not to hold back my best ideas. 

Show them.  Make them.  Demonstrate my best ideas to the world.  Then, those ideas would eventually get me noticed and help me get the team that I dreamed of.  So what if I had already used up my best ideas to get there?  At least I would have gotten there.  And then I could come up with new great ideas.

If you don't just run with your ideas, you'll just be left alone, with a bunch of ideas and nothing to show for them.

Just make the game.
