I've been thinking about developing a crime investigation game with the RPG Maker. I was saying to myself "Hey there aren't too many modern RPG Maker games". The main reason why there aren't many modern games is the RTP has classical graphics. I can make some modern characters using the character generator. It's not much, but it is a start.
I've never attempted to make a game like this. It can payoff in the long run. This will give me more experience with the program. It can help me develop as an amateur game developer.
The hit show Criminal Minds inspired to me to attempt to make this game. It is a fantastic show. The show focuses a lot on character.I believe this type of game would be great for developing characters. This isn't your everyday fantasy RPG game. You're not trying to save the world from an evil force. This game's idea is for the players to focus on solving crimes.
The gameplay will include searching for clues and evidence. The battle system will most likely be time based. I am not sure what time based battle system I will use. Personally I prefer the side screen battle systems that allows players to see the all of the characters on the screen. The default VX ACE battle system lacks this element. The default battle system only shows the enemies and not the playable characters. Personally I don't like RPG Maker games with on-screen battling.
Please post comments on what you think about the idea and vote in the blog's poll! Thanks!
Great concept, Criminal Minds is a great show. However I should express the point that any battle system with this game won't bode well. In fact, even using RPGMaker is a bad idea. Have you ever thought about a visual novel? It would fit better in my opinion.
