Alright, so it looks like there is definitely a bit of interest in making another chain game before GW becomes something different, so let's get the ball rolling.

Since GW is due to bite the bullet "sometime soon" and will be replaced by whatever Drule has in mind, I thought it would be sort of neat if GW ends the way it started - with RPG Maker. Basically, this will be one last stab at a chain game (separate from the attempts by Belross and Erave). It will simply be called The Gaming World Chain Game. This s hust a fun way for the active RPG Maker users to say goodbye to GW in a way.

I know that the last chain game that GW worked on (Chain Game 4) was never completed due to a few different problems, but I think that we could avoid the things that slowed CG4 down so much. For starters, if you take too long to finish your part, you're just out. No extensions.

Unlike with the previous chain games,there will not be a "schedule" like before. A lot of us can't predict how available we'll be a few weeks (or months) down the road, and this caused lengthy delays and problems in the past. Essentially, the chain game will just be handed off to those who are interested in furthering the chain game as soon as one person finishes working on their part. No waiting, no delays.

Ideally, I think people will only need two weeks to work on their parts. The game won't have to be very long like Chain Game 4 was shaping up to be, so nobody will have to pour their blood, sweat, and tears into their parts. The whole point is to have fun after all.

So here are a few guidelines/rules.

• Because RPG Maker 2003 is the maker which most people are (or were) most familiar with, we will use that.
• Don't make your part more "epic" than it needs to be. Keeping it between 20-30 minutes or so is about all that is needed. If you are confident that you can handle making more content in two weeks, then go for it. Know what you are capable of in the time you are given.
• Testing is important! Make sure your part works. If you are going to include minigames, make sure that they work properly. Two minigames in Chain Game 4 were quite buggy and unfair to the player. We don't really want that kind of situation again.
• Two weeks to complete your part. Don't go crazy and give yourself more work to do than is necessary. Have fun making your part and don't worry about trying to make something that will blow people away.
• If you cannot complete your part in two weeks, you will be skipped or someone else will finish whatever you started and were unable to complete.
• There is no need to plan ahead of time what you are going to do. Since Chain Games are fairly random, just build off of what the people before you established and further the game/story.

There is really only one thing that needs to be established however, and that is the THEME. So before we decide on who will start this thing off and such, I think that those who are interesting in working on this should pitch their ideas on the theme just so that we're all working on something that appeals to us.

My suggestion for the theme? Gaming World. Perhaps the rise and fall, or just the decline itself. There would be a lot of room to decide what happens with that. Anyway, that's my suggestion. Does anyone else have any ideas for the theme, or should we just let the first person wing it?

I think GW's sticking around now actually. Drule's going to fix the forums up or something. So maybe not a last chain game, just a chain game :^)

I will do music

i would do this but i don't remember how to use rpgmaker anymore i think

I would be up for this!! Let's make a gametape guys. There's a bunch of cool_kids here with good ideas and it would be fun to have everyone throw in something quick for this i think.

i picked it up after like two years of not touching it (just when you think youre out they pull you back in...) and it took like half an hour to figure it out again and most of that was the image specifications, if all that means anything

I will do (asian) voice acting and blu-tack scenery.

it's really easy to learn and work with ya dummies...

I know the main hero can be named Steel and he can battle Cancer (with swords hell cancer can be an evil organization. ). Maybe?

Like I said in other thread I'll make a part if someone plans it out and shit!

Alright, looks like there is certainly a bit of interest! I'll edit the post to be something more appropriate later tonight.

cool..what's the maker to be used?

more like wishing..i knew the maker would be obvious
