imo the problem with rpgs made in a sandbox game is that creating any freeroam aspect of it takes loving forever. when i play an rpg i honestly could care less but if there’s some freedoms for what the player can do or where they can go, you’ve got a good game. doing this takes way more time than it’s ever worth though (see: skill4lifes pirate adventure), and also takes a large variety of specialized abilities in coding, building, modeling, eventing, etc. a rpg in blockland that’s actually good quality would take a large team of people willing to put more blood, sweat, tears, and toil into it than a dying lego rpg game is ever worth
Shouldn't invest too much into the 'freeroam' aspect. In fact, almost all of them attempted to be like that. It works with single player RPGs because most things scale with you. In an MMO environment, which every Blockland RPG tries to emulate, you need to move about as you get stronger. Take a look at... DRPG, PRPG, and pretty well any other RPG we've seen other than Jorgur's and Gamefandan's. Players could go wherever they wanted. But there was nothing they wanted but more numbers.

It would be completely fine to give players limitation on where they're directed to for sure. There just needs to be a reason.

Be complex all you guys want but don't expect me to mine and cut trees and open up 20 option screens for 12 hours just to get a wooden sword
That's the wrong kind of complexity.

The problem is the start and the finish. You're mining and cutting to get a sword. When that's all there is to your RPG, it's not good.

Drama / Re: DrenDran and Momentum
« on: August 13, 2018, 02:07:04 PM »
this all seems like much ado about nothing. drendran's a cool guy. this just seems like a petty attempt at revenge by "exposing" him.

god the OP reads like something straight off C-SPAN
The OP was written by DrenDran.

because nobody wants to be in your clan

Off Topic / Re: at what age difference does a relationship get creepy
« on: August 11, 2018, 11:28:04 PM »
17 and 12.

I don't care if it's technically "legal"
thankfully its not.
at least where i live.



i don't really see it as just a flat age difference.
an 18 y/o with a 16 y/o is creepy

but a 28 y/o with a 26 y/o is completely fine.

obviously I'm talking about all rpgs in blockland, which truthfully are all dumb. Only pirate rpg extends slightly beyond mediocrity
At first I thought you were just blowing up on all RPGs in general.
But if you really do just mean ones in Blockland, then yeah. I can 100% agree. They're all pretty stuff.
And not even just because they don't include story or anything like that. But because you're basically grinding to do nothing with it. You keep progressing and progressing till you get to the end and then just... brag because you wasted more time than anyone else.
At least Port & Evar planned on having some dungeons, quests, and world events to keep people busy, as well as having some content locked behind said features, so that you don't just get everything by grinding.

think about this: you sell cars. you’ve sold pens at the top car technology for decades, and have the best quality cars in the nation, on the verge of then world. you develop a new car spending millions and years, except as soon as you release it people start selling older models of your car for little to nothing, thus nobody buys you’re kew car which you could make a ton of money off of. of course you’re going to go after the dealers because you’re being forgeted over by their individual selling of your old cars, and people are going to be pussed off about it, because they’re cheap and don’t want to spend all the money to your new car—but you’re still absolutely justified because you’re  businessman and they’re ruining your market
One of the worst brown townogies I've seen in a long time.

Why do you want Crono though? Of all the characters you could take, you would take a goklone over a fire emblem character? What would his moveset even be?
A sword fighter with lightning magic? Sounds pretty unique to me.

Also, the whole "what would his moveset even be?" question gets real old and I'll give the same answer to it every time.
Look at some of the characters already in the roster that never actually fought in games. Captain Falcon, Game & Watch, Duck Hunt, Captain Olimar (while the pikmin did fight, you were just there to command, rather than fight), Wii Fit Trainer. I'm sure there's more.

Drama / Re: Mango 2 (41899) and [AEWG] Barbaring (159798), $15 for Admin
« on: August 09, 2018, 07:44:18 PM »
The fact that he even sells administration means he doesn't care about the quality of his staff anyways and would rather make a quick buck than maintain his servers integrity. It's not even debatable either like that's the loving deal breaker right now, the drama is basically over

$15 is nothing and that's the saddest part. He's selling a role that determines the entire quality of his server for loving peanuts


bringing this to the front and bigger because it's pretty much the most important part of the drama

a good admin is someone who is capable of administrating a server well and diligent to work.
paying $15 does not make someone a good admin. paying $15 means there's incentive behind it, likely to respawn oneself.

also when the buttons just dont work in the vrhome thing
And another new problem. When steam loses connection, the friends list sets itself as the active window. In most VR games this isn't an issue, but if Overload isn't in focus, the game pauses, considering it uses mouse and keyboard (or controller) rather than the VR controllers.

For servers, post in general discussion.
For mods you plan on releasing but aren't finished, post in modification discussion.
