enf rpg game idea
 

okay guys, this may sound a little strange but i've developed this idea for an enf rpg and wanted to hear your ideas and views on this game. Whilst still in the idea area the story isn't a masterpiece.

The basic story is that you are the main character is a 19 year old girl who lives in the budding world of (still needs a name) which is ripe in plant life and animals as well as other creatures such as trolls,goblins etc and there are three major areas for living Adona (city of men), amazonia (city of women) and a city of men and women (can't think of name yet) the main character(mc from now on) lives on her own away from the cities in the middle of the map. Anyway one day you a 19 year old girl has noticed that something strange has happened when she finds a young girl knocked out outside her house this young girl of about 20 years of age is the oldest daughter of the oberon and titania (king and queen of the fairies) and she tells you that her race is being attacked by the dark forces of the pixie kingdom and asks if you will help her in her quest to gather a gem of great power which has a third of each piece stuck in a dungeon near each city you agree and begin your quest into gathering the three pieces

I like it. I can see alot of plant life improvised-clothing sequences happening, very cool

carryed on
 

Anyway thought some ideas on characters
main team has 6 members (each with brief description)

MC - main character is a young 19 year old girl and she has no name bar from what you give her is a pure girl and has never had a boyfriend (due to where she lives) and is for the first time going to see the world (is also the first team member in the game)

fairy princess(needs a name) - she is a young girl of noble descent and is the reason you have begun your quest, she is trying to save her race by any means necerssary even though she is not strong she isskilled in the art of magic (mainly healing) and is the second team member of the game

Now the next three are decided on which town you go to first but the order is how they are recommended to obtain

witch (needs a name) - Lives on the outskirts of amazonia and is quite young (only 24), she seems nice and is very willing to help the team on their journey but first needs a test subject on her new invisibility potion and will only join if you are willing to test it (by the way it doesn't dissapear clothes) she is also skilled in black magic

Thief (needs a name) - is currently living on the outskirts of the male-female town and prides herself on never being seen she is around 22 years old and tries to steal from your team you trick her into thinking the quest will lead to treasure and she agrees to join the team she is also very shy due to her job

piratess (needs a name) - she is currently taveling with her all-girl crew outside adona and is willing to force any strong visiters into her crew she also believes she is number 1 when it comes to raw power and takes an imediate diliking to your team until you beat her in a battle and she then begins to admire the MC's great strength and joins you, she is 26 years old

Now the last team member can be chosen from 3 girls and are all optional but only one is obtainable

Gambler (needs a name) - is the easiest optional team member and is around the casino in the amazonia but will only join the luckiest visitor of whoever beats her in strip poker she focusses on luck, she is 23 years old

Musician (needs a name) - is second easiest and is found in the male/female town she is a 22 year old who can buff and will join after you jam with her in the bar

Knight (Claire is her name) - Is a young knight in the town of Adona who was sent out from amazonia after the distress call of pirates living on the outskirts of town she is strong all-around except for in magic she is 25 years old and has good sense of justice she dislikes the piratess team member and is found on the outskirts of town she is the hardest to aquire due to having to fight her

umm... okay anybody want to help with the naming

Gameplay elements
 

quite a few updates....anyway gameplay now for the battle system i was thinking something turn-based with a few other kinds mixed in

First fights
Fights are done with 2 of your members being on the field with 2 in reserve and play with a selection of different choices including
Attack:deals damage to clothes and enemies
Defend:halves damage taken to clothes and teamates
Tickle:lowers stats (can choose from 3 different sections feet,belly,underarms)
Strip:removes enemies clothes (only usable on female enemies can inflict naked status)
Skill:Uses one of two skills (MC has three)
Distract:Can do one of three options tomake enemy lose turns
1.remove clothes to buy 2 turns
2.Flirt to buy 1 turn
3.Enrage to buy 1 turn but causes rage
Escape:run from the battle
Grovel:Can beg enemy to leave battle but will usually be asked to give something

Next stats
Stats affect stuff like how strong your character is
LVL:current lvl of character
Embarrassment:Health meter the higher the number the more embarrassed you get when full character is too embarrassed to fight it is decreased by being stripped or using distract
Special:is required to use skill and when it's empty you can't use skills anymore
Forcefulness:basically offense higher the number the easier it is to damage enemies and to strip them
Willingness:basically defense the higher it is the less embarrassment you feel and the easier it is for grovel to be successful
Speed:the higher the number the less you get hit also affects turn order
Pervertedness:affects how quickly you get to excited status and how often they get ailments
MC only stats
Purity:Affects your alignment
Fame:Affects what the cityfolks will say about you and areas of town you can enter

Status ailments
Embarrassed:If inflicted character will refuse to carry on fighting
Excited:doubles stats and can only happen sometimes when you go into embarrassed status
Shame:Halves stats for 3-4 turns, will wear off
Rage:doubles offense, Halves defense
Naked:has lost all clothes and will leave battle for 2-3 turns looking for more will also increase embarrassment alot(only female enemies/team members)
Tickled:some enemies can tickle, for 2-3 turns will lower stats
Knocked out:only male characters are affected will no longer fight

Now those are all the turn-based aspects when i imagine the battle screen i see a persona 3/4 image with faces that change depending on status ailment(blushing face during embarrassed ailment)

Streaking game
Yes streaking i imagine it as you running from point A-B in a sidescrolling mission where you try to not get caught that any teammember can do, willingness will affect wheather they will though
Stats that affect this
Embarrassment:how many times you can get caught increases faster if guys catch you
Speed:how fast you run
Willingness:as said above
Pervertedness:affects how much getting caught increases your embarrassment
Fame:Will be increased in a bad way if caught
Now when you get caught enough you should get an image of you trying to cover yourself around your finders, you also leave the minigame back to where you started it and can try again as many times even after winning

sounds awesome, character concepts seem solid -- i'd play the crap out of it... i mean, it's an ENF rpg, what's not to love?
are you programming this game yourself or something? have you got an artist lined up? is this to be done in the classic 16 bit rpg fashion or some other style? I have lots o questions, haha, but if it looks like you're actually gonna create this thing i'd be more than happy to help you with names, story, etc.

Is this a purely conceptual idea or are you going try to actually put it together? It sounds like an interesting concept though, I'll keep reading!

Wow didn't think i'd get such a warm response :D

Last time i had an idea like this, the feedback wasn't this great

anyway if you guys want to help with naming feel free to give ideas it would also be great if you could give an idea for of the name the last town.
Anyway i wish to make this idea real but i don't have the skills or resources to put it together but if anyone is willing to help with the artwork or help programme it, would you please step forward i will do anything to help even if it means writing a whole script for you to base it off of. i mean i'm not thinking of amazing graphics or god-level programming and i just want to let everyone have a fun time with this idea and maybe we can turn this into a collab i can even think up dungeons and enemy list if you so wish
Now i also have another reason to thank everyone who's surpporting me:)

Hey, keep this up man! This sounds like a great idea that needs to be put into life!

You got my support too! Let me know if I can help. Unfortunately I know nothing about programming or stuff like that.:(

Hey thanks hanskumoekk!
but you don't have those skills:( oh well if you know anyone who does or is interested by all means let me know:)

um.... you can also help by giving ideas for enemies or maybe even names for characters

I have some a little bit in the way of art skills
not sure if it's much help

here are a couple examples of what I can do

Hey those are some good drawings julianpaquette thanks :D i like the 2nd draqing alot

um..... a great example of skill draw what you think the MC should look like
hey i should make that the test lol:p

if you want guidelines umm i imagine her as a young girl with long hair quite curvey and also i would imagine cutscenes like they would be in persona 3/4 with 3-4 full size drawings in cutscenes and little chibi forms outside cutscenes (to make it easier to do) ooh a better example is eic battle fantasy 3 though

Maybe draw the MC in 3-4 different poses

one embarrassed(naked or not is your choice)
one happy
one sad
one angry
one shocked

please:D
but you don't have to

that might be difficult.
you really didn't provide any details other then age for any of the girls (which really isn't too helpful)

how bout details like: Hair colour, Eye colour, skin colour, race, body type/build, bust/waist and hips sizes, distinct features, face shape, nose, eye or mouth shape?

failing that I could just guess, for all these things

Well i thought it would give more freedom but alright
hair colour:blonde/brunette its your choice
eye colour:blue/green still your choice
Skin colour/race:white/cockasian
Build:Medium (not chubby though) quite curvey. average height
three sizes:Umm not to sure what to write here but she has a boob size of 81-82, umm i guess hip size of about 58-62 and waist 81-84
distintive features:long hair and foresty clothes kinda like robin hood with a skirt lol:D and a butterfly tatoo on her hip(optional)
Face shape:really don't know what to write here
mouth:normal for anime style drawing
nose:small
Eye:big i guess:confused:

sorry if it's a little vague but hope this helps by the by try to remember the style of drawing it might help if you want me to make it easier to understand i can make it less vague but not alot and remember only the MC needs to be drawn

Hows this?

Really good :eek:
make a few more drawings (different reactions) and we'll be golden

okay now we just need a programmer :D
didn't think getting an artist would be this easy

There's some pretty easy-to-use software called Adventure Maker. It may not be able to do everything you envisioned, but the basic version is free and very user-friendly.

wouldn't it make more sense for the adventuring party to have the Knight as a core party member rather than a Piratess?

i guess but we could change stuff around if you wish but let's wait a bit before doing that ,great drawings by the way do you have an enf version too:D

By the by why are you doing the art you never gave a reason and i'm curious besides i want to get to know you more partner since we'll be working together:)

I see a lot of good Ideas come and go, forgotten and disappear,
figured might as well do my part keeping this one alive

on top of that ENF games are rare, and mostly weird japanese titles.
it might be nice to have a little more western stuff out there

and sorry I don't have an ENF version of any of these pictures,
I don't really work much in layers

Wow i didn't know:eek:

but it's fine if you don't have it but do you think you can make one (it would be great:D)
Umm i guess i'll start writing descriptions for the other girls if you don't mind drawing them:p

Out of curiosity - how much time do you use on each drawing? These are really well made and seems to be made really quick. Kudos!

providing a discription would indeed be helpful


thanks I don't often receive many compliments; to answer your question it takes between 30 min - 1 hour per character (this variation depends on pose difficulty, and keeping things on model)
the chibi took about 5 minutes

i'd like to continue to throw my encouragement out there -- this would be excellent if it came to life. when I have more than a minute I'll offer up some names/backgrounds/descriptions of the characters mentioned. Like the art so far!

now only if we could convert it to 16 bit somehow, hehee...

Hey thanks everyone, it's great to have so much surpport.
I think that maybe i'll start writing a script soon if the lot of you like the idea this much(after the description of characters and enemy listings of course)
It would be great if you could give ideas for characters,names,enemies etc
Maybe if you want you could think of some good victory/defeat moments
Maybe designs for characters or even art backup(for my fantastic artist julianpaquette) and if anyone is capable at programming please step forward

equipment
 

okay i've just given some thought to the equipment and how it works

Each character has a set type weaponry and these are what they are
MC:Knives
Fairy princess(Aurora from now):Bows
Witch(Scarlet from now):Staffs/Wands
Thief(Rose from now):Gloves
piratess (needs a name):Spears
Gambler(Needs a name):Dice
Musician(Needs a name):Guitar
Knight(Claire):Swords

Each character has their equipment/costumes which can take 1-3 hits before breaking decided by a damage threshold(DT henceforth) using the attack or strip action will damage the clothing ,you can remove all of them but it will inflict naked status :p
Clothes
Head:hat
Body:outer
Body:inner(top half)
Body:inner(bottom half)
Feet:socks
Feet:shoes
Misc:i.e. belt,Ring etc

An easy to follow example is the MC starting clothes which would go like this
Clothes
Head:nothing
Body(outer):Dress (DT 1)
Body(inner top):Bra (DT 1)
Body(inner bottom):White panties (DT 1)
Feet(Socks):White (DT 1)
Feet(Shoes):Boots (DT 1)
Misc:Leather Belt (DT 1) +1 DT to body outer clothes

certain equipment has effects like the belt that affect stuff in battle.

So give feedback on these ideas and names etc :D

Skills
 

Just thought of the skills for characters
Each character has 2 besides the MC who has 3 but they will have 1 from the start and gain the others later

Skills
MC:Lunar divider(Heavy damage 1 enemy-physical)
Astral prescence(Buffs defense 1 ally)
Flora's devotion(Heavy damage all enemies-physical)

Aurora:purity(heals 1 ally)
Titania's Blessing(Heals all i.e health,ailments etc)

Scarlet:Mana Flare(hurts enemy-magic)
Zeus' Fury(heavy damage all enemies-magic)

Rose:Steal(Can steal stuff from enemies)
Hermes' Trust(Buff's speed+heavy damage-physical)

piratess:Bluff(Can trick enemies by making them give stuff)
Loki's Insult(Heavy Damage to all enemies + debuffs defense-physical)

Gambler:Deal(may take all clothes from enemies but may lose some from team if fails)
Fortuna's Luck(Makes team always hit criticals for 5 turns)

Musician:Sing(Buffs team fully)
Muses Merryment(Buffs team fully/Debuffs enemies fully)

Claire:Justice Devotion(buffs attack + heavy damage to 1 enemy-physical)
Fides Judgement(buffs teams attack + heavy damage to all enemies

equipment
 

umm.. my earlier post is a bit wierd

just wanted to fix it so there are no misunderstanding

The gambler's weapons are dice
Aurora's skill is purity
the site screwed me over a little here lol

I think there are actually ways to convert things to 16 bit, I don't know how though

Dude i love your drawings they are great thanks
okay give me a bit of time to think of the next character and do the same thing kay :p

Just dropping in to let everyone know that if this project gains enough steam, I'm willing to lend assistance in the art and possibly writing department. (that is, we get a few committed people to do the actual coding work, and maybe another artist or two)

I can't really draw humans well yet, but I can do furries pretty good, so I guess I could help with monsters, items, and non-human party members if the rest of the team is willing to allow that. With practice, I might be able to help with environments as well. I don't actually have all that much time on my hands, but I figured should post to let everyone know that I'm willing to contribute whenever possible. I'll post in a day or two with some examples of what I'm capable of, if time allows.

Wow, Julian. You're one heck of an artist. I really like your style! I try to get better in drawing myself, how do you do this? How did you find your own style like this? :) Really curious, that is talent right there.

Btw, would you be able to do some of them from behind too?

I'm glad you like my pictures. but I'm not really taking outside requests
you'd be better off talking to Wildfang

Practice is really the only way to get better at drawing.
I'm sorry if this isn't much help

It wasn't really a request. Just an idea for this whole concept, really. Characters from the front and from behind, that's all.

Aurora's design
 

okay so Aurora's design is
Hair:Brown but if it does'nt look good you can change
Eye:Green
Skin colour/race:Same as MC in this regard
Build:Smaller than MC but not by much
Three sizes:Umm she really isn't as curvacious as the MC but she is still curvy(can't really think of anything but if necerssary than i will, sorry)
Distinctive Features:white dress to knees,wings,long hair not tyed backed,
Face:same as before
Nose:same as before
Face:same as before

She is a fairy of royalty so make sure to remember that also julian(gonna call you jules by the way) if you want to draw the backs of characters you can(i mean you are my right hand man on this idea and head of art) also if you need help, not saying you do just if let me know and i can get some :) + i did the same last time and you gave drawings i loved so i'm not worryed:D)

Scarlet's design
 

okay got more than just 1 :D

Anyway i think i'll start giving clothes design(if you don't mind)
Hair colour:Red long and straight
Eye:brown/red you're choice
Skin colour/Race:Same as MC
Build:Kinda like a slightly older sister in the fact that she is taller and more curvy
Three Sizes:still not sure but anyway she is more curvy with bigger boobs than the MC
Distinctive Features:Long black dress with tattered bottom that shows cleavage,Tall hat,Long black boots scarlet red hair
Face:mature look
Nose:same as before
Mouth:same as before

By the way sorry for the late messages just got sonic generations its fun (wish i got the collectors edition though:mad:) well anyway thanks jules

it's Cool, Jules is what everyone calls me

if I need any help I'll be sure to let you know.

i like it but the eyes are too sharp and a bit pointy

sorry but could you change that a little(it's cool if you can't though i mean it's just nit-picking)

sorry

edited: eyes less sharp

Much better(thanks for being so understanding dudei'm glad i didn't hurt you or anything)

but i like the edited one better thanks umm do some different poses and i'll think of more designs/look for a progrmmer
