I was wondering if anyone was interested in working on an Open RPG. I currently don't have Starcraft at the moment, but I'm working on getting it off uTorrent. I have my last CD Key from my old copy but I stepped on it and snapped it in half... Anyways, about the new Open RPG. The RPG that I would like to get started doesn't have a story line thats finished, but I would like to have it based on two Terran forces competing against eachother and one of them is working on an experiment and this experiment creates a mutation (Zerg). I'm trying not to use a lot of Protoss, but I want them for special effects or robotics or even a hero.

Tile Set:
Space or Jungle

I would like to have someone who is a better map maker than I... This way I can improve my tactics on making maps and advanced triggers.

I should have Starcraft up and running by the end of this week (hopefully).

Help Needed:
- Terrain
- Triggers
- Detailed Story Maker
- Ideas (Most important)
- Testers (Also as important)

If your interested post it up in here or send me an email!

Thanks! :D

Another question. I want to try and make it a TBC (Turn Base Combat). It'll be tough but I'm sure that if we work hard and stay working on it, it's gonna work...

You say you're looking for a story? Isn't it the point of an Open RPG to not have a story, but have the characters do what they want?

Don't you think that every RPG has a story to it? Think of The Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion... That game has a good story to it, and it's open, same with Mass Effect, Fallout III, Diablo II, World of Warcraft... I could keep going if you want? Did I prove my point?

I have a fantastic idea, but I'm not willing to share it on the internets. Is it possible for you to reach me on Battle.net? I'm a USEast player, and am on alot. Pyro682 is t3h name.


I can also help with the TBC. I've seen a couple and made one once (It was buggy, but worked a bit) I think if I can dig it up, I can improve on it a bit and give you a TBC that works as well as PokeMon.
(Btw, PoKeMoN was a Badass game. If you disagree, I will chop your fucking hands off.)

I have no way of reaching you on B.Net so just PM me or something... Do you have MSN?

I'd prefer it if it was kept the discussion here in this thread. I refuse to believe that any SC map idea is so awesome that it must be kept secret out of fear(I'm an OS kinda guy too), I'm also old enough to know that there aren't people lurking in the shadows just waiting to pounce on and steal concepts. Keep the thread going.

Only one of those supports your point. While the others have open-ended gameplay, the all have linear storylines, and endings.

An rpg should contain a storyline as a motivational. It is also needed to affect towns, characters, setting, environment, and mood. The character has to play a certain role, whether it acts directly or indirectly with the story is up to the author.

Diablo II is literally organised into Acts. Like a fucking Shakespearean play.

omfg are you serious? He's arguing D2 is linear, not that there is a story to it. How do you forget what you're arguing about?

Regardless of the fact that you mentioned many non-open ended games with stories, your underlying premise is correct that it is possible to it be open ended and have a story.




Feb 26 2009, 10:12 pm Pyro682 Post #19



ClansAreForGays is correct, and Oblivion is a valid example. But its not like a black and white thing, theres a grey-scale.
Legend Of Zelda, OoT is Linear-
Diablo II is Linear mostly, but a BIT more open than Legend Of Zelda.
PokeMon is ... debateable... But Quite Linear.
Oblivion DOES have a story, but is Extremely open.


Anyways, No i Don't, havok.
You Got AIM?
Pyro682 is the name.

Hey, that Rhymes! :lol: :D

sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city
