Since I suck and can't write for RPG2, how about I redeem myself with a Fire Emblem forum game? The format would be everyone controlling their character(s) as a team, moving and making their decisions individually while trying to work together in order to survive. The action takes place on maps. Here's a mockup I made. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Aj1LDwlchK2JCyp_de90qQvFLROFeqWoO2ZlBxiKBi4/edit?usp=sharingFor each turn, just say what your units will do (use an item, move to a space, attack with a certain weapon, etc.). I'd control my own character, the enemies, and NPCs, but otherwise it's all up to you guys in order for us to win. Every character will have full-blown stats. The story will be mostly original, but it'd be easier for me to write for. RNG and permadeath WILL be part of this. I vow to be 100% honest about the RNG, so know that I didn't mean to hit you with a critical that had a 1% chance. That's just how it goes. Would you guys be interested in this? There's no point in creating it if no one's interested. And if you're not familiar with Fire Emblem, I'd be happy to explain all the concepts and mechanics to you, and this could be a way to try out a strange multiplayer version. |

...Is there a power button I can push to reset? Haha, no. Although, if the main character dies, then we all have to reset, so... Also, I probably will do some crappy time travel storyline since I now realize it's hard to write good original characters. |

You and your time travel.
I'll join in and be pretty active, most likely. I'll definitely need more than one character though. I'll also cry when all of my characters die. Will there be random support conversations?

I probably will allow you guys to create more than one character at the start of the game, but there will be a limit.
Also, there will be support conversations... If you support with a character I'm controlling. Players can increase a support rank between each others' characters with or without a support conversation when I say their support rank can increase. I don't want to write a conversation with your guys's characters, since I'll probably get their personalities wrong or something.

So it will be player made?
Next question! Will there be a choice between different armies? Something similar to the whole Nohr Hoshido thing, but put in a way that players will have to fight each other or at times work together to fight something bigger?

Well fine then Just, you can make your own army and I'll make my own army, and we'll see who gets more supporters.
But no, that wasn't my aim at all. Now you've devalued the appeal of my game...

Wait, so...the story is already set without the possibility to change from player interaction?

I'm just saying that when making a game like this, story and character interaction are what I put first. Then comes combat system. The rest just happens and finds a way to solve itself.

I thought you made ACR because you wanted a casual game.

I think I made ACR because I was obsessed with the Animal Crossing Movie a while back...
Anyways, I think I'll go into development with this idea, then. 2 people are enough.

I have an idea with the player choice issue just write the story around a players choice and put up what could be diffrent depending if they chosen the other option
(basicly do what malefio does with paper smash)
