MUFFLE'S PROFILE

Wow, thanks Frogge for the review! I'm glad it was enjoyable. I also agree I should have polished it better, but there always seems to be a reoccurring issue where I play test a game several times and then have a friend playtest a game several times... yet when I publish it after making extra sure I've looked and fixed all bugs, people tend to find bugs that even break the game. This happened with Highschool Contracts and I just don't understand how this can continue to repeat in other games. Ahh, but anyways - I may try and fix the bugs later but for now I'm kind of pleased with the game and don't feel like really messing with it. I'm also aware my grammar could use some work, and is something I've been actually working on. ^_^ Thanks for the review.

Welp, here is Brown Guy made by the most inexperienced sprite artist ever. Isn't he beautiful? Might make another one later.

Haha, I guess you played it. Did you enjoy it kory_toombs?

The direction you took my character was very funny.

I was hoping you would haha. When you told me you could help me with little things and not with big things I just decided to implement you in that way lol. It made me laugh.

Can't wait to play this game.

I was hoping you'd get to it soon, just wait until you find out the plot twist of who is doing all this!

Okay, now I can say: "Thus, the cactus game hast cometh."

It has begun. The Cactus Games. Nobody will survive.

Please do not take this game seriously, or take in the idea that it is okay to eat an entire cactus. It's all just a game until somebody gets pricked, then it's dangerous.

This is patently untrue. Prickly pear and dragonfruit (both cacti) are delicious, and the cactus itself is very good for you and incredibly useful in cooking.

"entire cactus" as in the entire cactus. as in not cutting it open and eating the insides. I'm talking about shoving an entire green prickly giant plant into your mouth and fighting back tears. That is why they're talking about suffering. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made it out to be so bad since like you said, it is quite healthy and useful (and tastes good). Sorry for not making this obvious, that is why I put the warning (also kind of a joke).

And saying that I just realized it may be a lot darker than I had thought. Oops.

*muffle's first game without dark-related content

Because forcing people to eat cacti is all fun and games

It's not fun enough if there's not enough cacti to go around.

Download is up, sorry for the wait I just realized the gamepage had been accepted lol. Now all of you go eat cactuses.

Have you ever had high hopes in an RPG game, but was soon disappointed to find the plot was the same hero fighting evil due to vengeance, or being the chosen one? Or maybe the battle system was God awful, or the characters were flat and unrealistic. Maybe even the plot had too much going on, or there wasn't enough details and you were left hanging with not enough info?

I've made this thread to ask people if you could give advice on what to do, and what not to do when making story driven rpg games to make sure the game doesn't end up being what some would call a disappointment. I'm not saying cliche is bad, but a lot of people obviously prefer originality and creativity which is hard to find now a days, since so much has already been done.

Since I'm making my own story driven rpg game and wanted advice, I decided to ask people what they thought and perhaps others could come and get advice as well. I will put a list below that I will fill up so it's easier to see it all without looking all over the thread. I haven't put anything below because my job was to create the thread, not spew ideas.
