So...RPG?

Hi1

Wondering if I should make a RPG as-well-as my Bleach game. Because I want an income from some game, but I cannot charge from Bleach due to Copyright laws...

So, new-found community of BYOND members, what should this new RPG have in it? What do you look for in a good RPG? I have all the team needed (just going to get the guys from BCR), just need some ideas. If I use your idea, I'll give you credit on the game's HUB page. :)

Thanks!

Kaiochao	A good(in-depth, original) storyline.

Fugsnarf	If you make us pay to play the game, I probably will never even consider playing it unless I see some good screenies and updates posted on your blog.

he obviously intends to sell subscriptions that provide benefits, not force you to pay just to play the game.

i can't think of a single actual byond game that has ever charged just to let you in

anyways, if you want to know what the potential PAYERS are interested in (instead of the few and far between 'intelligent' BYONDers who prefer story, exploration, etc), you should focus on gameplay and PvP, and (even though I'd personally hate it) make it so the grind is extremely long and the only way to defeat others in PvP is to be a higher level, not more skilled.

that'd draw the largest crowd BYOND currently has, some of which have mommies that'll pump cash into your pockets. very little cash, but more than any other option on BYOND

Well said. Thanks for the feedback.

Fugsnarf	He's been working on it the past two years and also tirelessly to release it recently.
