Goldy the Chicken

[Evie ❤✿]

The game has no graphics yet as I can't draw; just RPG Maker MV placeholders. It uses RPG Maker MV as a base, but may eventually ask someone to help me switch to another programming language (like my favourite; Z80) once the game is finished. I have friends who may be able to assist with art. The RPG Maker music I want to replace too eventually. Have a family member who's talented with the guitar. Will see if he wants to help. I don't want any of the assets to remain; the goal is to replace all placeholder art with an artist's help.

*Plot, Concept, Scenario: Torchickens
*Music: No one assigned yet
*Variable Control (including difficulty): No one assigned yet
*Engine: RPG Maker MV (temporary?)
*Art: No one assigned yet

I may ask around my close online friends who made another game called Aevilia if they want to help too.

Plot: The year is 2100. Earth has been contacted by FOX-0100, a retreat from planet Thanos. As a delinquent, he believed in love in an interspecies hostile planet. The Thanians however, have conquered the mystery of time travel and control; even over old science. Earth however, takes for granted a lot of discoveries the Thanians regard as revolutionary, such as farming. Goldy the Chicken is a member of the United Layshons; a peace group, but is holding a shadow she doesn't want to show. FOX-0100 seems to be the only one who can understand her. Will they be able to save the cosmic web?

Notes: Goldy the Chicken was originally a glitchy platformer game with Game Maker, about a chicken with the ability to lay golden eggs, and her chicken-dove like friend Chicky, his enemies Farmer Tedd, Zack the Chicken, Catastrophe Chicken and Chickasaurus; a chicken-dinosaur hybrid (my original namesake until I switched to stick with Torchickens and Evie because Chickasaurus could sound rude). Another mysterious creature is the Binary Dragon (yang) and its yin counterpart Catastrophe Chicken. I decided to reboot it as an RPG. The aesthetic may be a little like a cross between Super Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi, and I want to include a lot of additional puns; so far, "Chicka-saw", shuttlechicken, United Layshons, Sora Pyee (Aura Lee) and stuff. It is inspired by KotoBattle and Space-Net: Cosmo Red and Blue. It also includes new characters; Ahrem the fire elemental chicken, a little cute electricity creature (like the assistant in Space-Net), and I want to include a lot more.

Looking for input and ideas on how to make this better. Thanks

Well, it's at least more content than what I've made a long time ago. I once thought of making my own game too. Things went well on the programming side, but everything else was a trainwreck. Graphics take forever, and I realised that I severely lack creativity and can't do worldbuilding and tell stories.

The only thing I can say is that something like RPG Maker and a low-level assembly language are completely different things, and your goal should be to get the game out rather than thinking about platforms and porting, unless you like that kind of technical challenge. Get the story and assets done first.

Aww nice. Sorry to hear about that. Dw about it though and worldbuilding is not essential, people do genres that suit them. Thanks for the input. ^^

Umm sorry I'm worried this doesn't belong here on hindsight as it says no fan games. Not sure what to do as this isn't a Nintendo fan game but original IP. I'll leave it for remaining staff.

I'm honestly not quite sure what Fry meant by "no stupid fan games." I wondered if maybe he was referring to forum games like "let's count to one million, one post at a time," or something like that that's intended to artifically inflate post counts.

I think that as long as you're doing something creative, and that you're putting effort into it, it's probably OK.
