Why NOT?!!
Why doesn't someone just recreate Shakespeare in BYOND?!!!!
Or any of their favorite plays, it would be kinda cheesy but it would be fun for all no one can get mad at someone else for killing/beating them, people can just watch basically a play/movie and talk while they're doing it. Sorta like taking a CHAT room ONE STEP FORWARD!!! :)
or even change the plays if you want...
OR
A BYOND TV SHOW!!!!
muahahahaha

yup!!!!
Wouldn't it be great, you could even torture your most hated TV actors or something by having them being hit by a bus or something!!! | |
Hmm I'd rather see something like this in Flash. Byond is great, but depending on it for everything is lacking. Flash Aniamtions are cool if you wanna make an online cartoon or story look into it. I started working on my own Fantasy Cartoon in FLASH having a Wacom Tablet and all, but it takes alot of work never did finish the story but got about 3 screens areas of the story done with some basic sound FXs.

ya I've been learning Flash myself so when I get my Website up for A Game of Kings I can have a flash movie and such...
but Anyways it's just an idea I figure we could try everything in BYOND, and this way it would give it that old SNES feel of a special moment. Like the ff series for SNES sorta cinemas etc. | |

I actually think this would be really cool...
I even have a bunch of ideas on how it could be done (I'd do it myself...but I can hardly find the time to finish DBTC, let alone start another major project...lol) Anyways... You could make a couple of maps... One as a stage, and another as a "dressing room"... Then, you could make all kinds of objects that are props, scenery, etc... Don't place them on the map...but allow a "director" (most likely the host of the "game") to create them and place them on the stage... Other "players" could have mobs which they customize via clothing selections (possibly as handled in DBTC)...and other things like hair change and facial features (glasses, eyepatches, etc).... People who aren't actors (as controlled by the "director") are placed into the "audience" upon login... Possibly there could be "ticket" charges paid in BYONDimes... The script could be anything... An old classic... Or even something written by the "actors" themselves... Actor mobs would have multiple icon_states and generic animations to accomodate things like running, climbing, falling down, etc... Whatever might be needed for a "play"... Perhaps even different facial features for "emotion" (probably rather difficult to show in such a small area...but quite possible)... The stage would be set up by the director...the actors would take their places...and the show would begin... The actors then Say() their lines (preferably shown as text bubbles on the map)...and Act() out the play (the Act() verb could give them a choice of the various actions their mob can perform...falling down for a death scene, climbing a ladder to rescue a fair maiden, etc...)... There could be music, sound effects, lighting effects, and all kinds of other things... All controlled by the director...or perhaps some other behind the scenes players... And it would be much like real acting... These actors could potentially mess up their lines... Or mess up their actions (tripping on stage, etc...lol)... Through one simple engine...could come all kinds of shows and acting troupes... The possibilities are boundless... Especially if there is some way to allow the importing of custom graphics (costumes, props, scenery, etc)... I think that would be really sweet... And the "ticket" selling idea would be a really cool way to get some BYONDimes flowing around... | |
OR what about...
you have a map and 3/5's of it is the stage, while the rest is seats/audience and you have stores you can buy stuff from. The play will go on while the audience can sit in their little sits and throw popcorn and pop cans at eachother. Maybe make people able to fart and stuff. Would be great! | |
Yeah... You'd need to give the audience something to do... So there should be verbs given to them to clap, boo, throw stuff on stage, etc...
| |
This has been thought of before, infact, exactly the way SuperGoku(whatever his name is) said.
