Phansona 5

So how long until someone breaks out RPG Maker and makes a game out of the Phandom becoming Thieves to change the hearts of shitposters to forever preserve this legendary even in game form

NotAJojoReference

Someone needs to do that, and implement Confidants/Social Links with fellow Phans.

pure-anon

this sounds like a great idea!! though i think we might want to accumulate more lore first!!

Bamtom1234

I'm game :P

Heat_OBrian

If my computer still worked I'd totally take up the challenge

Hibiki

wasnt excepting anyone to respond let alone take this seriously

Heat_OBrian

I have nothing better to do honestly and I've been wanting to do something with gamemaker anyway tbh

Bamtom1234

It'd be hilarious :P

imtherealklib

I demand obligatory beach / hot spring scenes.

The Fool

Hmm...

"An idea has dawned on me!"

imtherealklib

So the Old Gods are the final boss right?
Or would it be Mishima *admin* for the true boss

Hibiki

AkirasDickCheese

Hibiki

him or -AkiraKurusu-
one of them is the final boss

Suguru Kamoshida

Baskers secret assassin guild.

imtherealklib

Baskers SL gives you random chance to have flashy critical attacks

Boss

Leblanc Should be the item shop, or a save point

Aki-Joker

I actually have an RPG maker. After a Pokemon game I made, I am doin a horror game and a Fire emblem fake game. Maybe I could try something little like that when I get more time.

imtherealklib

Yosh!

nyarlathotep

I actually have RPGMaker as well, although it's just VXAce. I have enough experience to where I could probably make a game on there. Would be fun to make a shitpost game tbh.

imtherealklib

Oh shit, I actually have it too! Mine will be the worst, hands down!

Don't worry guys, you'll all look good by comparison!

Yu-Narukami

If someone actually does this they should base an entire palace on the rpers on this site since there are quite a few.

Aki-Joker

My RPG Maker is also VXAce, so welcome to the club.

Boss

Sam here

Boss

Same*

nyarlathotep

Oh hey. I'm not the only with older software then. Neat.

IamThou

Sounds good.

Playable characters - Most known users of the forums that are against the abominations of this site.

Minor enemies - shitposters

Mid bosses- AkiraKurusu, HaruOkumura, Ann_Takamaki

Bosses - Fat Makoto, Naked_Mitsuru, etc.

would play until true ending

IamThou

Also Boss' cafe is where you buy potions and stuff.

Skull

All the coffee potions should have pointless and wrong trivia.

-Kanji-

Mishima should be the bonus boss you can only fight in the hidden dungeon and/or on your second playthrough

Inari

if "BE GONE THOT" is not a spell im gonna kill someone

Inari

Also, I feel the party should be called the Tokyo Thot Patrol.

Miranda_The_Lesbian

Secret boss should be a physical copy of P5. And it would barely take any damage because scratch resistant blu rays.

Inari

Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series

Boss

The final boss is Naked_Mitsuru.
In order to defeat her and get the true ending, you have to summon the ultimate persona of the Tokyo Thot Patrol and use
[B E G O N E T H O T]

Inari

what about "Haha RIP"?

IamThou

@Inari

"BE GONE THOT"
Deals severe light damage to one foe

Inari

Why not almighty damage?

Boss

HahaRIP is the semifinal boss,

IamThou

HahaRIP would be the game's boss before the true final boss

Inari

I see.

Inari

This shall be our Magnum Opus!

IamThou

BE GONE THOT sounds holy, so light damage would do. And thot type enemies are weak to light.

Miranda_The_Lesbian

I imagine BE GONE THOT would be every element so that it's pretty much a guaranteed All Out Attack.

IamThou

Make sure the game has insta kill protag BS ;)

no

Miranda_The_Lesbian

Keep the whole protagonist dies = game over thing, but show the characters attempting to reach into his pocket to grab a Balm of Life. 50% chance they revive you. The other 50% of the time, they take your house keys and steal your tv.

Boss

Bad end:
Just a picture of everybody taking the shit in your room

Inari

20% chance of your coffee being jizzed in

Boss

Dammit inari...

_Mishima

mishima is the traitor

Boss

5% chance that when you use a coffee item, it will "taste strangely salty and gunky"

Miranda_The_Lesbian

If only the phansite in the game was this..... Interesting...

Inari

@Boss and "creamier than ususal..."

IamThou

@Boss

Haha on hard mode healing items might have a "Sticky substance" debuff since AkiraKurusu sneaks into the cafe, causing potions to have a weaker effect

Boss

This is a legit game.

This must happen.

Souji Seta

Do we get a new Velvet Room attendant as well?

Souji Seta

Press F to frog instead of press up to gun

Miranda_The_Lesbian

On insane difficulty, it happens 100% of the time, and you watch Sojiro do it right in front of you.

Yu-Narukami

No, Velvet attendant. Just Mishima the forum attendant.

Boss

Velvet room attendant
Pure Anon

Yu-Narukami

They just shout random things at you every time you visit the velvet room.

Skull

Everytime you meet a new character it should cut to Sae making increasingly forced statements about who was helping you.

Souji Seta

"You needed someone to uhhhh ejaculate in your coffee. You couldn't have done it alone! Isn't that right, Nasty Crimeboy?!"

Aki-Joker

Shouldn't Akiradickcheese be final boss, because of yesterdays terror.

Hibiki

What the fuck you guys

Boss

This is what happens when you leave the forum for 5 minutes

-TheAkiraKurusu-

So is someone actually making this?

nyarlathotep

I would, but then I'd have to make DLC for every time an apocalypse happens here

-TheAkiraKurusu-

Believe in yourself.

Boss

We can make a concrete game, and then just make small side stories

Hibiki

It's okay Nyarly if big budget games can get away with splitting their games into "episodes" and "seasons" and charge for them separately than you can too

nyarlathotep

Making multiple tiny games and charging a good sum of money for each one? Fuck it, I'll do it.

-TheAkiraKurusu-

*starts cheering like Mishima in the ending*

Hibiki

So
what's the save point
Thoth? Vaati?
Narrator?

Suguru Kamoshida

Summer just started and I have VX Ace as well. If others who have it want we could split the construction of resources among each other and pool them together here every few days while one person overlooks it/writes the story and plugs in what the others make.

FMF

How many party members would there be?

John Titor

>enemies to be the shitposters of this group

That number is probably bigger than the number of demons in the entire SMT franchise.

-TheAkiraKurusu-

lel

Kumokia

Nice but where does mothman fit in?

Phantom_Trickster

I'm so down to support this .

Minato_Arisato

You should kill off the protagonist at the end of the game.

pancake

the initial persona

Hifumi Togo

Just a reminder that I was Kamoshida so the post and its implications still stand.

Kumokia

His icon isn't exactly a personal mothman though, where will he fit in?

HahaRIP

Well at least I'm not a damn mid-boss

Hacker_Of_Justice

Make haharip the first boss

HahaRIP

Don't make me fucking do it

Souji Seta

Mothman is our Igor

Kitagawa

Where does my frog come in?

Hifumi Togo

It'd be cool to have LeBlanc as a place to heal though that'd mean basing the game around one central area.

Then again, there are four LeBlancs in this forum.

Kumokia

So who's making it? Do I gotta whip out my JS?

Hacker_Of_Justice

Your frog is the first party member you get

pure-anon

i think basing the game around a central area would probably be a good idea!! it gives a lot of freedom to develop npcs and polishing a single hub area will likely be easier than creating several compelling mini-hubs!!

Kumokia

Will Sojiro have a better sized cafe?

Mona

Make a system that allows you to travel to Cafe Leblanc easily. Like, make it accessible from a PC that can be found all over the place or something.

pancake

can protag be an anon

LansingWolverine

But who would be the velvet room end game boss then?

Hifumi Togo

In terms of actual game development, my summer just started and I have RPG Maker VX Ace but I'm not particularly skilled with it, so I'd stick to discussion and creation of characters/item/equipment/basic scripts etc. I mean I am definitely not enough on my own so better find someone or else I'll have to suddenly cram tutorial videos into my schedule.

That being said, it'd be a love letter to both Persona and this forum, so let's have fun with compiling ideas.

Basing the game around one central area may actually be apt given the Persona games (at least 2IS and 3-5) follow the format. In that case, featuring this forum's version of Boss as an owner of LeBlanc would work well and honor him as a recognized member of the community with a part in the community.

-Labrys-

*Looks over at Unity with a raised brow*

Kumokia

So who will be the main characters?

Kitagawa

Also in terms of actually making it:

I am fairly decent at spritework. So if need be I can attempt to create some of the stuff for it.

Hifumi Togo

I've made a lot of Pokemon splices before, though they were more scratching than sprite combination, thus being suitable as experience for spriting.

As for unity, I don't have it, though it is free. RPG Maker tends to be very novice-friendly and people here probably have more experience with it.

imtherealklib

@Boss That idea for Pure-Anon to be the attendant is on-point! I agree strongly!

Kitagawa

I see. I have a fair amount of experience in sprites completely from scratch.

Though most of my experience comes from making pixelated player portraits, due to a game I have been playing for a while.

Hifumi Togo

Your experience is likely more useful. Mine entail premade sprites for me to build upon while your experience seems to entail a blank canvas for your to work on.

Hibiki

tbh i think we're gonna need more people involved in this
especially if we try and add a lot of people involved cuz for real not everyone can be a party member this would be uh
messy unless we could gather and agree on roles? or something idfk

pancake

protag is anon so nobody fights for it

imtherealklib

I'd suggest we have the main party accounts for the main party. And other active members of the community be NPCs, vendors, etc.

Yu-Narukami

Wasn't there a game similar to this idea for Persona 4. I think it was called PersoNO or something like that.

Hibiki

protag should be Mishima who comes back to Phansite world after taking a vacation and finds it in ruins and is just like

"guys i was gone for two days"

Hifumi Togo

@Hibiki You're right. We can choose six to ten people as party members and make the majority of people NPCs/supporting characters/antagonists/etc. We have enough people on the forum to fill an entire fictional city with characters and, if you'd like, we can try to make it like Trails in the Sky where every single NPC has a personal story that advances with the story. It would work well considering members here do follow their own independent narratives while taking part of the greater whole, and it should make the setting feel alive. This place very much feels alive, so it'd be apt.

pancake

mascot should be kitagawas frog

Hibiki

we have the potential to make a fangame with better social links than persona 4 snaps

Hifumi Togo

Confidants for particularly prevalent members would be useful, too.

Souji Seta

@Yu-Narukami yeah I think I've seen screencaps of that before

Souji Seta

PLEASE LET ME POST THIS STUPID DOODLE OF PRESS UP TO FROG, GOD

Hibiki

okay for real if we're gonna do this are we gonna make the game in pure shitpost form or are we actucally going to construct some narrative around this pretending its like a fanmade Persona 6 this is the ultimate question of how dedicated we are

pancake

can we do both

Hifumi Togo

I have the dedication and willpower to do either. We could also go Mother and do both.

Hibiki

Both? never played Mother

imtherealklib

I vote serious, but as you get further down the rabbit hole it gets weird af

imtherealklib

@Hibiki If you like dumb jokes, good music, and a pretty solid jrpg system, you should give it a go.

PS: Earthbound is the american name in case that rings bells. It's where Ness and Lucas from Smash Bros are from

Hifumi Togo

Regardless of the chosen path, comedy must be preserved as an important element of character interactions. It should be added tastefully to imitate the forum without undermining the story. It has to be major, though.

Kumokia

Mother 3 when?

Souji Seta

I vote serious but with shitpost answer options

imtherealklib

Agreed. And I mean, the interactions on the site should be pretty good resources for character interactions.

Souji Seta

I literally took like half an hour trying to upload this stupid joke, @KITAGAWA YOUR FROG REPLACES GUN, PRESS UP TO FROG

http://imgur.com/J34oaVG

Hifumi Togo

First of all, who besides me as RPG Maker VX? I'm willing to undertake anything you ask but I'm also aware of my limitations.

Kitagawa

Unfortunately my ability to do spritework stops at environments. I can only do characters and portraits. Probably items as well.

-TheAkiraKurusu-

so... any ideas on the story yet?

Kitagawa

@Souji Seta

I love my frog.

Hifumi Togo

Characters and portraits are fine. I can find or make my own if I have to.

pure-anon

i have vx ace!! though i can't program my way out of a paper bag so i'm not sure if i could be useful!!

Souji Seta

I love your frog too

imtherealklib

I don't remember what version I have, I'll double check when I get home from work.

Kitagawa

I am not that good at stories but like... should the shitposters be hunted down?

Hifumi Togo

@imtherealklib Thank you.
@pure-anon Experienced or not, I can teach you basic methods so that you can work independently and compute on your own.

I'm wondering if story then characters should be established before we choose the characters.

Souji Seta

The basic plotline, then characters to add details?

Kitagawa

I would like to take the role of Big the Cat. A joke character who is always looking for his frog but said frog happens to keep going on big adventures.

Kitagawa

I apologize it was the first thing that came to mind.

Hibiki

imo its easier to write the characters first, then write the story and world around them

I'm not a very good writer but I am working on some independant projects that i hope to some day turn into a game and thats how ive done mine always
characters first, story second

Hibiki

Though in this case i can see either way working fine enough since
people were here

Kitagawa

I agree with Hibiki, as despite my inexperience with writing stories the personalities of characters can severely alter your set story if it's not directly built around them.

Kitagawa

I've had a few of my personal story projects completely derail because of not having set character personalities before writing.

Meme-ntos

Is it really possible to make a persona clone with VXAce?

Wouldn't doing social link type stuff be a bit too much for it?

Then again, I'm not very experienced, as the only thing I really know how to do is set up dialog and change levels, etc.

Hibiki

I can relate, i did one project once, one that was scrapped because i wrote the plot first and the characters second and it kind of led to a lot of problems with me having to try and write around plot holes cuz i didnt think very well about how these characters would fit in this universe i made first

Kumokia

You can put your own script into ace if I'm right

Hifumi Togo

Alright. We'd need to establish outlines of characters and their personalities. We can create a preliminary setting and story after establishing our characters. Modus operandi something like:
-Determine characters
-Preliminary descriptions of characters
-Preliminary outline of the story
-Build characters and story gradually and simultaneously to allow them to adapt to each other naturally.

imtherealklib

Dedication can move mountains my dude. But it won't be easy to do all that stuff, you are correct.

pure-anon

the best way to approach something like this would be to start with large, general ideas(it's also possible to approach this from a gameplay perspective!! such as, if we want 5 dungeons, then we could create an outline with 5 major points without knowing any details and use that as a method to pace the narrative!!) and branch from there!! it would probably also be advisable to avoid creating smaller details until there's a larger outline completed!!

i would also like to say that i think the protagonist being a random anon would probably be a good idea!! it allows for a lot of narrative flexibility, and creates a fish-out-of-water scenario that gives freedom to explain anything that is needed for the narrative!!

Hee-Ho-Kun

I'd love to appear in this game ho! Maybe I could teach you all some proper respect, hee ho!

Hibiki

@Meme-ntos

I've never used RPG Maker but if you know what you're doing it's a pretty good tool from what I understand. I've seen some people make some great games that I would never believe were RPG Maker games if someone hadn't told me they were before hand.

Kumokia

I'm sorry to say this but will...
Will fat makoto be a boss?

Hibiki

The idea of the protag being an anon seems decent
though we're gonna have to work together to design a basic protag
probably with a gender option too ofc
i say we do that and replace the New Game option on the menu with New User or Register with Log In being the Load option

Souji Seta

Aren't they one of three gods, or something?

Meme-ntos

If everyone is serious about this, maybe we should create a private discussion, so we don't get lost. Maybe a skype group or something?

Hifumi Togo

Don't even worry about that, Hee-Ho-Kun. I'm going Trails in the Sky and changing every NPC's dialogue after every few moments of story progression to give the sense of a living world.
It'd also be a clever idea to let the player character be a self-insert anon, as it indeed is the case that any one of us are the protagonist of our own story here. I like that idea.

Hibiki

I was thinking I could make a Discord group if we really wanted

Kumokia

I feel like it should stay here

Meme-ntos

Discord, huh? I always hear about it, never used it though.

Yu-Narukami

But some of us literally are the protagonists of our own story.

imtherealklib

I second that

NotAJojoReference

I'd probably be that one NPC that shows up everywhere making bad jokes.

If I'm gonna be in this, just make my sprite a Meowth.

Hibiki

On one hand I agree it should stay here where it's easily accessed
on the other this is quite.... unstable? is that the word i wanna use

imtherealklib

Discord would make it easier to share files for sprite work and sound. So as much as this place has it's charm, it's a lot better to have a live connection when doing something like this.

Hibiki

My one request is that I get put in as some kind of shady shopkeeper

Hifumi Togo

Everyone is the protagonist of their own story, of course.

I'd like it to stay here, though a private medium of communication for the developers would be necessary.

Souji Seta

I expect to be some sort of side chara/NPC, but it's kinda funny since I'm also -AkiraKurusu-

Souji Seta

Discord isn't a bad idea - it's a little annoying have to refresh the thread every few seconds

Hibiki

I hold that we write it so the protag is treated like an anonymous new user so i can play it and talk to me and be like
"wow okay is this how people see me"

Hifumi Togo

May I create a Discord server?

imtherealklib

Sure thing

NotAJojoReference

Main character should be named Anon-kun

Souji Seta

I assume you can name the protag as you want?

Kumokia

Smh if I'm not in it I will cry until all of you are uncomfortable.

Meme-ntos

^^;

Hifumi Togo

What I'll do is make the Discord public but have private channels for developers only.

Kitagawa

Hibiki

Good idea

Kitagawa

Behold! Frog!

Hifumi Togo

On that note...

Souji Seta

Another good frog...

Kumokia

Its a frog!

Hibiki

Can frogs be this games equivalent of like those friendly monsters in some RPGs where they reward you with something if you give them an item they want

pancake

yes and if you kill the frog you die irl

NotAJojoReference

Jiraiya!

Kumokia

Can the frogs explode when thrown?

Meme-ntos

You guys know about that Fox in P4? We should do the same thing, but with a frog. That would honestly be perfect.

imtherealklib

and if you play like a jerk you have the option to "Robbit robbit"

Hibiki

I feel like I should remind everyone about 180 posts ago I made this topic as a shitpost

Hibiki

>kill the frog and you croak

Hifumi Togo

https://discord.gg/6tG3EBA

Souji Seta

It's a cool idea and we have no lives

Meme-ntos

I wish you guys best of luck with whatever you're gonna do!

pancake

coming out 2020

Hifumi Togo

Anyone who has RPG Maker and/or an interest in giving ideas, asking questions and watching the game's development, please do join the server through the link I posted above.

AdachiImouto

can I fight Yu in the game

Hacker_Of_Justice

I'm in. I don't have the resources right now to actually do the scripting and Sprite work since my computer is busted, but I have plenty of ideas and can help if you get stuck.

imtherealklib

@Hacker_Of_Justice Just throw the url into discord and join away! :D

Also

@Pure-Anon, Please join. Your positive attitude will no doubt help us achieve our goals quicker! :)

Hacker_Of_Justice

I can't join. I can't download the app due to low storage space and even when I delete stuff it gets refilled somehow. Is there any other way we could chat?

Hifumi Togo

Can you use Discord on your browser?

Hacker_Of_Justice

I tried. I'm on my phone. It just tells me to install the app

Hifumi Togo

What if you have your device load the site in desktop mode?

Hacker_Of_Justice

How do I do that?

PhantomRider

I love how this started as a shitpost topic and now it's going to be a legit thing. Never underestimate the power of Meme Magic

Hifumi Togo

What sort of phone do you have?

pure-anon

memes are the dna of the soul, after all!!

Hacker_Of_Justice

Holy heck was that a metal gear reference!!!!!

PhantomRider

@pure-anon, I can't believe you just referenced MGR, right when I thought it was impossible to love you any more too.

LordCheesusCrust

Metal Gear references in my Persona forum? More common then you'd think! (Points to Shido's final form which is basically Armstrong.)

Broke-Ass_Student

The main character should be a new user, just like 3, 4 and 5's protagonist.
