Nik the Three

I never actually catch RPG in it's starts and it is mostly impossible for me to catch later: I don't have experience with RPing, but I would definitely want to get some. And I love space and your idea seems interesting so I think I would participate and help with testing out the concept.

I use my new head to beat the mask out of you

My Mask!

Out comes a great being.

In goes Seaweed and mustard.

Be like: What The Actual Makuta?

If there was no 'Mata-Nui is a giant robot' plot twist and story continued in Matoran Universe...

City once inhabited by Matorans, but has been overtook by Visoraks. All Matorans disappeared in one night. Legends says that they are all hidden behind fake wall, living without food or water. Nobody knows where and nobody dares to enter city. It is impossible to go there and not get trapped in Visorak's webs...

Edit: Forgot about another name...

Hinky

'Lava seems to hot for surfing today...'

Jala

Edit: NINJA'D

Next? Next thing is that Ignika was lying there so I took it...

My Mask!

Imagine MNOLG without graphics and more oriented on development of your character. You are for example in Ta-Koro. You have a description of part of village you are in and list of visible exits, such as road which leads to north part of village, Jala's house etc. Then you have list of Matorans you can interact with. When you interact with Matorans you have a dialog and classic list of answers you can choose from. You can even meet other players. And of course more, you probably get the point.

About character progression, idea of starting as Matoran and becoming Toa seems more than acceptable. Idea is that when you complete story on Mata-Nui, you can take a ferry to Metru-Nui or something.

What I am sure about is creating alternate timeline. Something with an idea, not too complicated and good for both I-came-for-story people and I-came-for-game people.

About how simple development will be, I can tell you designing will be more complicated than programming itself.

Note: Thanks for moving topic, I thought it wasn't in good forum...

I like how this simple game became RPing.

Seems like combining Mask of Time Control with all masks gives me something like Ignika. But Ignika is Ignika...

I am forcing my vital energy into detecting Ignika. I feel it! My Mask of Being let me travel thru multiverse. I follow feeling and take the mask from you while punching you with an old Tahu Star's arm.

My Mask

Note: Sorry for this cliche, didn't cane out with another legit solution...

Having collection of masks has some good points. One of them is usually Mahiki... Pesky Mahiki, ruined so many STM moments. I put it on. I created illusion of you batting me and I played it hurt, while you think you are illusion. That's original solution meh? Yeah, Ignika you are holding is actually Mask of Light. Who need Mask of Light when you have Mask of Time Control and Mask of Life? *time controls away to not be so easily backstabed*

My Mask!

I have stolen your masks because you are using them too much and driving me nuts. You cry because it took you whole your life to collect them (Ash Ketchum style). That's my chance.

My Mask!

I have once tried to write a tabletop RPG rulebook. Idea was to make it sci-fi game about having ship. When I think about it, it was similar to FTL (awesome game btw). I was a lot inspired by Czech tabletop RPG "Dračí doupě" (something like Czech D&D). But inspiration changed too being a DrD in space. Rules were nearly same...

Note: I was 12 I think

Hewkii drowned because he got stuck in Seaweed

Rebooted Lewa meets old Lewa

There were 2 masks at the time. I buy new neck in Wall-Mart and start to wish for revenge for breaking our great RPing.

I go too past and change what you call present time to place where you aren't and Ignika lies on floor freely. I take it.

My Mask!

Wonder how on earth can Vitamin B6 held a competition.

If you were eternal winner of Steal the mask...

I come out of dust that lasted from most of the universe you have just destroyed. I am lucky I survived. I try to use my Vahi just to realize that continuity was destroyed and there is no post to return to. I take both Vahi and Mask of Mind Control and forge them into the Mask of Time Control, which allows me to recreate past.

Then I take Mask of Multiverse Travel, which artificially created past myself had. I locate universe you both are in and unexpectedly backstab ShadowVezon. And then I start party with Onaku.

My and Onaku's Mask!

Set Lewa as my profile picture

You exactly got the point! A multiplayer text-based game exactly like those old ones were.

I have experience in making PHP based things and this thing seems simple enough. Well it won't be simple, but I have done harder things (with graphics and things like that).

How can you help? I need a story! A goal, characters and overall game design!

I can't be however that active in next 5 days and will get time only occasionally. But after that we can start talking about project freely and (kind of) unlimitedly.

I forgot to mention important thing (stupid me). It would be automatized, powered by beautiful PHP, allowing anyone to join anytime without losing major points in plot. It would be like playing a singleplayer RPG game with occasional interaction between players. So game would not break when somebody goes off. It would be more like experiment.

Granted, your computer can't run it.

I wish Lego followed idea given in the Lego Movie (don't build after instructions).

Height could have been smaller. Spinning is a little bit annoying.

See no difference, because I never heard about it

If Toa Tahu Star was a great being...

I take Vahi (I carry these things in pocket quite often) and ask my future me to give me mask of mind control. Then I come back and force you to give me mask.

My Mask!

So I got this idea one day, when I was like - why were all (most of them) fangames abandoned? It's hard-to-answer question, but I thing it was mostly because of their overwhelming complexity. There was always problem with things like graphics, too many people not able to properly communicate...

If you think about it there were actually many successful games. Games like Mafia, Steal the mask... They were all simple, yet awesome. They didn't need any graphics, sounds. They were powered by people's imagination.

What about combining these two genres? Idea is to create a story, design places, make a goal. Let people cooperate on goals or let them fight for mighty Ignika. Let the game have more chapters, pick between being Matoran, Toa, Turaga, each having different goal.

Edit: I forgot to mention important thing (stupid me). It would be automatized, powered by beautiful PHP, allowing anyone to join anytime without losing major points in plot. It would be like playing a singleplayer RPG game with occasional interaction between players. So game would not break when somebody goes off. It would be more like experiment.

What do you think? Does this idea have a chance? Or do you want to support it by further ideas?

Hello, I am a newcomer/returner, but nobody remember me, because I did actually nothing and disappeared after two weeks of activity. I always want to make my name by making a successful thing, but I give up usually after a week. Let's see!
