Hello my name is Josh and I am an individual who is trying to make an immersive multiplayer role playing game with a gripping story and thrilling game play. My vision is to bring a text based roleplaying game to life. I came up with this idea when I was reading manga, and watching anime. I know myself and many other would love to be in those worlds so I started thinking of ways. The most immersive roleplaying games Ive played are text based Rps, so I though "Why not give it visuals and a world you can actually feel". In an Rp game most actions like, communication and fights and other action are done by emote. Visuals will eliminate the confusion of position and appearance.
The enormous scope of how things can turn out, is pretty much infinite. A great roleplayer is always ready to jump in, and help flourish what is being created. Yes there are times that some plots have a series of events to follow, or open-box dialog, however that doesn't mean you can't improvise and use your imagination and creativity to turn something that could be portrayed as boring, and get other players involved.
Text games will always have that extra element that graphic frames-per-second computer games will not. It's like those fancy new 3d tv's compared to even the best Plasma and LCD's around, you'll never get that "In-your-face" realism that can always be found in the text games.
The world is like a giant sandbox where players can interact with each other and deal with the consequences of their action, whether they be good or bad. The need for NPCs will be cut down drastically.The human mind is infinitely more capable of bringing a text world to life simply because there are so many different ways we each view certain things. We aren't restricted by the vision of the programmer on a computer game or the director for a tv show.
For this project I would need:
A pixel artist
A programmer who is fluent in GML
