If you make it for the DS, don't use someone else's shitty engine imo

But the DS is effectively alienating a majority of the osu! community, simply because they don't have flash cards (poor Sinistro ;___;) plus a lot of the DS hardware coding would be a bitch. PC imo

*meekly raises hand*

OK, got a complaint Loginer.
The instructions for that DS thing are in another language.
Anyway,
We need skins. Maybe skins could like, affect battle or something.

armours

Taiko armor set ftw~

Yeah, Skins would be armour.
Every character would start with the default osu skin, and places would sell skins.
Maybe you get to go to the Hideout of Luigi's Delinquents, and you can buy all kinds of skins there.

Hideout of Luigi is like a hidden area not even visible in the world map (just ripped this off from some games, SO2)

and sells every expensive semi-imbalanced stuff.

and yeah everyone in the main party would start in default armors/skins
even their weapons? mouse(flail), pen+tablet(SnS), crappy tablet pc(book for mages?)
and where is the sword? i guess there is none?

Does anyone feel like making an engine, or should we use RPG Maker vee-ehx?

Doesn't a pen and tablet count as a sword and shield?
Well, I wouldn't know about engines, seeing as I haven't ever used RPG Maker, so I don't know how good it is, but it might have to be a custom engine.

Yeah, SnS - Sword and Shield
I'm pertaining to 'swords' as long sword, greatsword, bastardsword, duals, etc.

and If I know how to code I'll start doing this. heh

/me reads some codes

I'm coding something of my own at the moment that will have some recyclable code that can be used for most RPG engines.

Stylus, maybe? More Ouendan that Osu!, but not too unrelated.

Giant freaking mouse cursor.

Someone should use the osu! cross-hair as a Frisbee weapon.

I wonder what the "ultimate weapons/armor" would look like? Maybe we can have that katamari cursor be an ultimate weapon, and the more you kill, the more sticks to the weapon, increasing damage output. Although there has to be an upper limit for that.

Speaking of armor, will the skins change the appearance of the player character, or are they just for show?

Probably the latter, though the former could be done.

I think it would be awesome if skins changed the appearance, but it might get confusing to code and stuff.

It's easy as hell to code. It's just a matter of adding additional sprites to the game - if everyone is the same size and has the same animations you can get away with one spriteset per armour, otherwise you've gotta refit it to each character. Easy to program, though.

Well, everyone being the same size might be weird, seeing as I'm a Prinny, and they're known to be small.

Guests would be an exception.

Probably with fixed equipment.

Yeah.
Would weapons and stuff show as well?

Of course.

This is starting to sound most righteous dude.

Are we just going to do the standard six-slot system (weapon, shield, head, armor, legs, accessory) for equips?

Well, head and legs might be left out, and just combined into the skin slot.

Probably just weapon, armour, and 2 "mods" (accessories).

Yeah, that'd be least confusing.
What about stats?
HP
MP
Spd
Atk
Def
etc.

Speed should so be BPM or something analogous. HP (or possibly MP instead) could be something like Rhythm/Tempo/Beat/Groove.

Ki.

That sounds good actually.

I demand a story role in this game!

Don't worry, you're a mod. Role is almost guaranteed, well, granted you've got something in mind.

has anyone bothered to have a look at possible engines yet?

awp said he might make a custom engine. That's a good enough reason for me not to look.

This would be insane. Maybe we could combine aspects of this with the ranking system(like peppy being the "creator"/ "god of osu!" or something that could be seen on the Osu IRC)

Based on how we cannot interact with them in the chat or the forums, they sound pretty good for faceless, nondescript grunts. The numbers bring to mind automation, mass production...they could be like brainwashed clones, or robots or something.

Sounds good.
God, I'm nearly as psyched about this as I am about Rock Band.

We expanded on this by mentioning a "factory stage" so yeah.

Sounds awesome.

Alpha beatmap factory. >_>

Just call it "Beatmap Factory" and make jokes about who has run it.

Soooo..... has my role been determined?

I want a role.

I say the dorky NPC kid with glasses who everyone makes fun of. Maybe, I'll like, accidentally screw something up, and it has to be fixed, and that's like a side-quest type thing.

Chiming in on the whole engine issue, I really would suggest something like RPGMaker. Might not be the best engine, but you can get things quickly done with it, and you don't have to wait for awp to finish his stuff to begin working on it.

Most game assets are transferrable stuff anyways: if you have the plot, a bunch graphics and a general idea of how you're going to implement things, engines can be switched during development. Just my 2 cents here...

Should read the first post, but it's a long ass irc log, so I'll post my suggestions here like the lazy bastard I am.

Anyhow...since everything's going to be themed after osu!, I suggest that attacks would be called beats and magic would be called beatmaps. Then we could have magic spells/beatmaps like "agony", which...say...does X amount of damage and a poison effect on the enemy to boot. I already saw suggestions that armors would be called "skins" and instead of necklaces/rings, there'd be "mods".

I also suggest that the bad guys would be called The Army of Osutardation or something and would mostly be mods that have been too lazy to mod things, lately. Gabe is an otherwise awesome idea for an antagonist, but do we really need to give him extra fame and credit for anything?

Something screwed up? = your glasses.
After fixing it, you will give your glasses to the protagonist which adds +points to accuracy. (accessory)
you gave the glasses because you can see clearly now whatever the reason.

You can see clearly because the rain has gone?
Anyway, that sounds awesome.

Someone needs to write up an actual text story thing for this, with paragraphs and stuff, outlining how the story is presented in the game and the various things the player has to do to beat the game in order. It's confusing reading multiple pages of unordered IRC logs.

Also, about the luigihann selling skins as armor thing, maybe luigihann's skin shop appears to be just a regular item shop from the outside, and you can go there and buy items of average-below average value. But as part of a side-quest thing, someone lets you in on the secret that the shop actually sells illegal skins as well(perhaps as a reward for fixing my glasses?), and they tell the player a "password", which you can tell to the person working at the shop and he'll let you go behind the shop where you can meet luigihann and buy his skins. So the item shop itself is just like cover for the fact that luigihann sells illegal skins.

Reason for the skins being illegal would be that they give the wearer power, which is why whoever it is that enslaved the place banned them, because he doesn't want to risk being overthrown by someone in power.

I don't really play RPGs too much, so...

I just thought of something.
Someone tells the player the password, they go to the shop, say the password, and get it wrong, but get it close enough.

The thing I'd like to keep in mind when developing events is that they're A - reminiscent of osu!, and B - they make sense. Some ideas can be used as they are, some will need revision (possibly to the point where they're nearly unrecognizable from what we see here) and some will unfortunately have to be pitched if they simply don't work.

me lazy i giv you cooki .


Its not yet finished so I didnt posted it

idk I was bored

Holy crap, the awesomeness made me blind.
All jokes aside, that's awesome. And what you said about them being reminiscent of actual osu happenings.
I can't exactly help much in that area, but I could think of something.

^

Sinistro and Kharl? XD

Think so.
If that's in the actual RPG, screw school, I'll play this all day.

You were bored in such a productive way, awp.

It's kinda lol to see a king wears way plainer clothings than his chancellor. XD

Hah, I just noticed that.

When a chat protocol speaks, you know it's serious business.

My coffee told me that Saturos-fangirl needs a place in the RPG. The coffee never lies!

The coffee IS a lie.
She'd need to have some epic hangup, like one huge moe eye and one real-life eye, or an extremely small head.

No, the CAKE is a lie.
I think it would be awesome if Saturos-fangirl was in, and also if I talked to coffee.

Based on Saturos's place in the story, the fangirl can easily be portrayed as a sort of religious zealot.

I should have said this sooner, but I liked that drawing a lot awp

Ha ha! Makes sense, seeing as Saturos-fangirl does worship Saturos like a god or something.
I still suggest I talk to coffee.
Example:
Random Boss Battle
Character: What is that thing?
Me: I dunno, lemme ask the coffee.
*Talks to coffee*
Me: Coffee says it's a boss.

Mayor D=

did King play into this? It might have and I may have forgotten. But yeah, tbqh I think the contrast between their attires can be portrayed in their characters somehow.

Kharl was the king of time wasn't he?

Sin and I joked about him being the God of Time (if you really are the God of Time Kharl please have mercy on our souls we mean you no disrespect) but idk how big the "main city" is at this stage of the game. If it ends up being the size of a kingdom then yeah he'd be a King, and he is kind of the "Keeper of Time" anyhow - I don't know how royal figureheads would play into it, buuuuuut...

Let's just say Kharl likes to be humble about it.

Good summary.
I really don't have many other suggestions, other than me talking to coffee.

[16:58] <awp> I'm trying to figure out what role "Beatmapper" has in osu!RPG
[16:58] <awp> Maybe Beatmappers exist as teachers of sorts
[16:59] <Sinistro> SYNC
[16:59] <awp> You challenge them
[16:59] <Sinistro> for great justive
[16:59] <awp> to improve or learn new skills
[16:59] <awp> Having a sort of level cap
[16:59] <awp> for base level, ability type A level, ability type B level
[17:00] <awp> and they'll either unlock new skills, or raise your skill level cap

Also make note, Saturos, the Keeper of Rhythm encompasses all, ergo, Kharl the King of Time and Hitoshirenu the Queen of Space are a tier below him - Kharl (also the mayor of Chigau) is humble about his abilities, while Hito is still an idea in the works that needs to be played around with.

[12:21] <awpwork> well is that really androgeny

I'll let awp work out the details.

tl;dr - i'm a trap and i worship false gods

I'm gonna leave it as is. Entertaining where off topic.

bump because i am a gm

I think it's safe to say this project is dead. D':

i know, i bumped it up for the new guys to read it. who knows someone MIGHT actually make this.

I'm actually learning .NET right now. It isn't necessarily dead, just on the back burner.

I think that osu!rpg should be a series of routes like F/SN.

The first route would be you fighting the Gabe infected Saturos as the final boss.

The second route, however, would be that you learn through a plot twist that Cyclone implanted Gabe into Saturos so he could gain the #1 Rank. You then fight Cyclone instead of Saturos.

The third and final route would be neither Saturos nor Cyclone being evil, but instead peppy just says fuck it and decides to destroy osu! for some reason I can't think of right now. You then fight peppy as the final boss, but then find out after his defeat that he is immortal and then peppy reveals his true form to be Bancho. Then some .hack//QUARANTINE-esqe shit goes down as all of your party members are disconnected from Bancho one by one until it's just the main character and Bancho. The route ends on a cliff hanger as you pull off INSANE BULLSHIT MOVES to get closer to Bancho to win, and as you hit the last spinner the screen grows blank.

Feel free to ignore this post if you want, I'm just throwing out ideas. Also, yes, the third route is meant to not make sense.

The story was written/outlined before Cyclone existed in this context but we could certainly use Cyclone to fill in a logical plot hole~

The post game fight would be a duel between the main character, Saturos, Cyclone, and The Eleven that Never Fucking Says Anything Ever.

The duel would be a multiplayer match of the hardest songs on their hardest difficulties (James Training, Wizards in Winter [Impossible], Marisa [Hard], etc).

What are you guys doing? There is a distinct lack of scantily clad women in this RPG. Every RPG has to have at least one scantily clad woman who possibly stirs up some sexual tension.

Christ.

If this was a "plz let me be in the gaem", then you failed :/

On another note, how are the player NPCs (e.g. Saturos or James) going to be designed? Base it off their avatar? Or just give them a unique sprite?

They'll be omnipotent. You'll never be able to see their character model. Ever.

Or can you?

Well, since we're supposed to have some of them as bosses, we need sprites for them. Or do you want to fight some odd blob that seems like it came out of Earthbound?

We could make some sort of character creator, and let everyone who's in the game design themselves. That would make things easier.
