What about..., Mario RPG ...with something different...

Most time you browse through this board you find ideas and games about fast gameplay and hardcore. But how about a Mario RPG with platform-elements ? Something like Super Paper Mario but with specialattacks ! Not just catching a fireflower and throw fireballs, that got boring over years. Real specialattacks like Fire, Poison or Meteor ! And if you still havent got the idea...

Battle System

You jump around through Grasslands,Deserts,Beachs,Castles and Skies if an enemy turns up you can jump on him, or hammer him(just do whatever you have equipped) or use a special attack like ^Look above^. You would get Items from Itemblocks and you could destroy the battlefield entirely (!). Or you just run! Fleeing would be the speed-aspect in the game. You need to reach a Flag before the Enemy catches you.
Goombas would just be running and jumping after you. Koopas would do that a bit faster... I'll try to get a Screenshot of that soon...

Towns and such...

In Towns you could buy Items or Equipment. Towns would be safe places. I dont think there is more about it...

Must... destroy... everything...

Cutting Pipes, Crushing the Ground, Throwing Blocks around or just leaving a trail of destruction behind, THIS would be what a good game needs ^^ Crushing a hole into the floor could end a battle fast... Maybe destroying the entire stage gives you exp to level up...


I guess thats it... maybe more will follow... and screens...

Please dont lock this... I read the rules... but... I dont really get it...

Also Salve errore and message me if you want to help making a game such as this discription.

Sounds pretty much like Super Paper Mario to me, but with items being special attacks instead.

And Destruction of course :P

So yeah.

And to explain one or two things to you:
If you want to recruit people to help you with this idea, then you need to list YOUR skills.
What can YOU do to make this work?

Answer this and I'll leave this open.

OK !!! *PANIC*

Skills in programming.
SOME Skills in spriting.
I can do the engine-programming and the planning.
Also I can sprite the tileset.
And if you ask me why I cant sprite poeple : I never tried.

*answered*
*calms down*

"skills in programming" doesn't really say much. Atleast tell us which program you were thinking about doing this in?

OOpS

A Game here,
A Maker there,
And in the middle
A Game Maker.
