Subject: How about a LOK game? Wed Jun 15, 2011 5:11 pm
Well, this is not a promise... it's not even a plan. It's mere speculation.
I want to get a job, and they told me I need to have a big portfolio. So I have to make games, lots of them. Since I need to make those games for a company, I'm currently focusing more on programing than other things (like college or real life).
So, my speculation is the following: If on a very distant (and not very likely) future, N@C achieves to finish those games, he will have game-making experience. So in case he does, and feels like making a LOK game, would you be ok with it? Would you help him make said game? Which would be your ideas for the game?
I was just speculating, and wondered what you all thought. XD

I was wondering something along the lines of...
"what kind of game would you make?" (RPG, Fighting Game, adventure, etc.) "what would you like to add/remove?"
For instance, the first thing I'd do is change the name. All in order to avoid confusion with that Avatar spin-off series.

Yeah. I was thinking of naming it "The World of Terra," but I'm unsure. As for gameplay type, I think the best would be a Beat 'em up. Either that or a Fighting game. Or perhaps even both, the fighting game aspect being mulitplayer.

That reminds me of "streets of rage", where you could do both.
As a matter of facts, while a Beat-them-up game sounds amazing, it would take a lot of sprite-work, which this series has proven to lack of since "the wyverns". That's the reason why I suggested an RPG (or something of the sort), since those games require more coding than actual sprite work.
I was thinking that, given the amount of characters, this series was perfect for something along the lines of Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem.

Although RPG is the most appropriate, I hate RPGs.

Rpg's are like my favorite type of game as long as it is a real good story line/plot. If you do make it be sure to have some real fun side quest to level up and get me some cool items.

The other kind of game that comes to mind is "Odin Sphere". Ever heard of it? It's a (awesome) PS2 game that combines Beat-them-up with RPG; and believe me: it's a lot better than it sounds.
What's particularly great about the game is the exploration.:
You choose one of the zones you've unlocked and play it.
Each zone is divided in tons of sectors, each sector being circular (meaning that if you keep running right/left, you will eventually return where you began) and connected to other two or three sectors. In order to be able to get to further sectors (or return to where you came from), you should beat all the enemies in said sector . To complete a zone (and unlock other zones) you should complete by finding one boss at the end of said zone. (there are multiple ways to arrive to the end of the zone)
That way you receive both: the adrenaline of beat-them-up games (where you should beat EVERYTHING on screen) and the gratification of exploration from RPGs.
Here you have a gameplay example:

Beat 'em up and RPG combo sounds poifect. What would be sweet if you could have Co-op. One character plays Korah and the other plays whoever is there in the plot of the chapter (such as Snow).

That would be pretty cool. Just as long as the enemies are actually stand somewhat of a chance lol.

That sounds like Kingdom Hearts 368 days/2; a game I hated. :XD: (In which you played as Roxas+<hooded of the day>)
It depends if Korah was the main character of the game. As a matter of facts (no offence), but I think Aiden would be a better character. He pretty much has a "screw the rules, I have a fluffy tail" attitude that makes him a loner. Loners are great for this kind of games. =)
Or we could use the Odin Sphere approach. The game has 6 chapter, each dedicated to a single character. (so the RPG elements, while existing, cannot be exploited. Your character has 30 levels, nothing else). The story is not linear, and connects one with the other; but once you finish the game, you can put the pieces together.
In the last chapter, you can choose the character you liked the best.

In the legend of Korah? Neva' Enemies are pathetic, and they all die pathetically.

Yea but without a challenge it doesn't make a game too fun. It's like in a game if you add cheat codes for infinite health and max skills then sure the game will last for the first few times you play it but then it really isn't hard.
