GAMEOVERGAMES PRODUCTIONS'S PROFILE

If I may make a suggestion, why don't we go with Craze's original overall plot idea:

author=Craze link=topic=3490.msg69827#msg69827 date=1239135112
Something that should also be dicussed, to define the goals and objectives of this community exercise: what is the game and its missions about? The first mission, decided by kentona, is clearing out a tower of bandits. We have to go from there to meeting with the King, who (at the beginning of the game, at least), is Latenir Gardeheim.

My initial idea (obviously I am not the sole creator, so bash this to pieces, ignore it, whatever!) was that Missiongarde (the city) is being controlled by a series of laws put in place by a tyrant king. The current king is trying to override the Parliament and repeal the Monster's Doctrine, but he is getting weaker and weaker due to... occurences. The game would slowly narrow itself into solving the mystery of the King by killing bad things around the region of Missiongarde. Because RPGs are about killing things (THIS IS IMPORTANT BTW), it would involve demons or psychic dragons or liches or something.

While still keeping part of Nick's:

Monster's Doctrine

Category: Law
Years: 963 AV- 986 AV
Description: A doctrine set forth by Ricardir Gardeheim in 963 AV that allowed the public use of Ingos and Bowlersnouts for slave work and labor. This upstarted many of the townsman due to the fact that many people were losing their jobs to the free and cheap labor. Those who were not were disgusted by the amount of filth was made by these creatures. This would eventually lead to a period known as the Dark Times as written about by famous scholar Balthazar Syrus VII. The doctrine was later revoked by King Latenir Gardeheim. The revoking of the doctrine is considered the main reason, King Latenir Gardeheim took power so quickly. After the doctrine was revoked the creatures were said to be still used as carriers for supplies today.

I'm just fine with Dragon Warrior IV NES graphics.

Also, I renamed the songs for the Bard to make sure that they will all fit:

Two Mandolins is now 2Mandolins

Heroic March - Q1 - Raises all party members strength slightly
Tale of Breathless - Q1 - May inflict mute to all enemies
Minstrelosity - Q1 - CAN ONLY BE USED INSIDE BATTLE Heals the Bard (His/Her vain pride causes him/her to continue fighting) (Has the same tune as the tale of the spoony bard)
Lay of Weasel Turd - Q2 - Makes the enemies ears bleed! (Causes damage to all enemies)
Ye Olde Jokester - Q2 - Inflicts enemies with chaos
Accordion's Discorda- Q3 - Inflicts all enemies with discord
Lay of Drying Mud - Q3 - Inflicts everyone except for the bard (both enemies and party members) with sleep
Storming of DaratDar - Q3 - Uppers the party
Brawler's Theme - Q4 - Bikills and Hastes party
Ancient's Battle Lay - Q4 - Inflicts everyone except the bard (both enemies and party members) with berserk
Agony - Q4 - Makes the enemies' ears explode! (Causes larger damage to all enemies)

I like 'em both! My only worry is that the spell names might be too long for Rm2k3 -- I like the names, though.

Eh, I suppose if all of the thes are removed most should fit. Lay of Weasel Turd doesn't sound as good though.

Two Mandolins would probably have to be called 2Mandolins.

Or I could just remove the character limit from the editor/a custom font could be used. Unfortunately, that probably wouldn't be a good idea with a game that passes through multiple hands.

Arghgirl isn't that tough. She doesn't have enough finesse with her club. :P

Also, for some reason I'm not getting experience from my pupils nor from when I get attacked by other brutes. I thought you could gain experience when you get attacked by other people; I guess you actually can't though?
