Hello, I am a programmer and I would like to create a retro style (text based) RPG. At the moment I have an engine I could adapt to the game, but I need someone who could take care of the story and the text of each scene.
Maybe you guys want to make one anyway? I can do it in c#. It will look crappy and very old style, but it can work.
What i had in mind was a game called "assing story". For say, Ill start with "You see a statue with a Gold nugget in his forehead". Then, half of you give an answer (I do this and that), and the other half continue the story with this answer(you do this and that, and then that and this happen. What you do?/you die).
Example : you see the statue mention abouve. Pang : pee on it. Matt continue the story: you pee on the statue and find out that the state is made of gold, but covered with dirt. Blk (another answer): Take the nugget. Storm continue the story: you take the nugget, when suddenly Ferret jump through the window and throw a TV on you. You die.
Its like being OP of a game and then getting to be the player. This way you wont get "god complex" and feel the game as a player, but yet keep control on the game.
