Can We Say That This Is Not How You Make An Rpg Game!?

If you have a Gamefaqs account you should read this.
Do you agree this is how you shouldn’t make an RPG?
1. Lots of playable characters. That is why I dislike Chrono Cross. This creator of this game idea says that is for “Gameplay reasons” but for RPGS Story is more important than gameplay.
2. Non Human Characters. They’re the worst god dammit because they aren’t human.
3. The Creator of this game idea said that some of the idea is Anime inspired. It won’t be so bad but the Creator of that game IS AMERICAN. You can’t make your games anime-like if you’re American. That doesn’t make sense.
4. The Creator of the game idea just doesn’t realize his only potential in life is A FREAKING JANITOR.
5. He is serious on making the game.
6. There is no theme to the game. He said it’s a mix of Fantasy, Modern Day, and sci-fi themes. You should only pick ONE theme.
7. The Creator doesn’t realize this idea will NEVER EVER COME TRUE UNLESS ITS A FIRST PERSON SHOOTER.
8. The Creator has too much creative freedom. Games are made for Gamers, not game developers. I told him to give up ALL OF HIS CREATIVE FREEDOM to make it better.
9. Random characters. This game of his has mechs, mages, parasites that control dead corpses, talking “chain-snakes”, living Jellyfish, puppets, a puppet master, a lizard in an egg, an amnesiac schizo, pyromaniacs, court jesters with bombs, SWAT officers, brains in machines, mole-men with giant tongues, afro samurai’s, Mad scientists, Ghosts, hippies with chainsaws, and a lot of other strange characters. THIS is proof that you should give up Creative Freedom to make a good game.
10. A Long story.
11. A female protagonist. Nowadays those aren’t profitable.
12. The idea is too niche to be profitable
And the Creator got what he deserved by being trolled by half the site to death. No literally everyone was trolling him and wanting him dead.
See? Anyone else agrees that this is how you shouldn’t make a game idea?

Why Do People Think Girls Don’t Like Sci Fi?


I think it is time not only to tweak the stereotype about science fiction being a male province, but for the genre itself to have a more female slant. I myself started reading science fiction at the age of ten, and I loved HW Well, Jules Verne and Asimov. As a children’s writer I wanted to write a fantasy adventure sci fi book with a feminist slant and a female protagonist. I have recently self published an e book (Goddess in Pyjamas) about a schoolgirl being abducted to another planet to save their world. It was rejected by publishers because it did not fit into an accepted niche. I felt there was a market out there for sci fi adventure for girls so I wanted to re-invent the genre and create what I like to call ‘pink sci-fi’. It has the sensuality of a girly book and features mythical creatures as well as space travel. More Hitchhikers Guide meet Wizard of Oz, than Star Wars. I was puzzled to find that they don’t even have a section for sci fi for children at all in the flagship branch of Waterstones in Piccadilly. Isn’t it time that publishers and booksellers began to realise that children need as wide a range of reading as adults? If self published ebooks are the only way to get this kind of risk-taking, experimental stuff out there, they deserve to lose out.
