I am circulating ideas for a pony rpg myself. But I need to learn how to write a script for a game, program and create art assets for said game.

I can do code, but the whole art thing is holding me back in game development as well. I need to team up with a sprite artist, if only I could find on that's interested.

A Pony visual novel would be really cool and there's a really good free program for making them called renpy.

Hey C, don't forget to review my fic, please.

Also, Ace, could you copy/paste all those links and put them in a PM for me, please?

I have ideas for pony fanfics too, I just don't have the time to write them.

A visual novel would indeed be really easy to program for those with the know-how, so I'm not surprised there's a simple open-source engine out there.

#182385 Purple Dalek Wed, 2nd May '12 11:29:34 AM from the Moon

If I had the time and the motivation I would have a go at writing a big, epic quest fanfic.

But I don't have either of those things, so oh dear.

@ Librarian: Sure thing. Thanks for the reminder. I've got an alarm on my cell phone set to do it this evening. But in the meantime I need to leave and head back to my apartment because UPS just delivered a tool I need, and then get back to school to do some more frustrating.

If the claims in the Katawa Shoujo dev blog are any indication, making a right and proper VN is much, much harder than you think.

(Well, pretty much any substantial project, for that matter.)

The story has to be really, really good.

Yeah. In fact, for the renpy source engine, you still need to learn to do some coding in Python in order to do any of the cool stuff.

~~Also, it's best if the idea originates from 4chan, for great publicity.~~

#182391 Perpetual Lurker Wed, 2nd May '12 11:35:35 AM

I said coding one would relatively simple, compared to other games. The fact that those games have no gameplay to speak of and rely on good writing and animation to be compelling is what makes it difficult.

We should all try to make one!

We'd properly fail horribly, but it would be worth a try!

Yeah, let's all try it and go down in a blaze of glory!

#182394 Perpetual Lurker Wed, 2nd May '12 11:42:08 AM

I know we have plenty of artists here, but do we have any sprite or vector artists? That's the real stumbling block, aside from the writing.

#182395 Kyler Thatch Wed, 2nd May '12 11:44:33 AM from the bottom of my heart

Sprite artists? Are we planning a VN or an RPG?

Hell if I know, both were suggested. This is all hypothetical, I think. I wouldn't mind doing an RPG though.

How about a Legend of Zelda-influenced Metroidvania with relationship values and different endings?

Sure but... I need to learn more about C++ and SDL before setting up a basic rendering framework.

Art really seems to be that big one that holds most game projects back, doesn't it?
