Subspace City (RPG)

[Resol]

Main Objective:

 

Get as much money as possible so that you can buy everything you need.

 

Overview:

 

Ship 1 is to look like a person. Ships 2-8 are cars.

New players will only have access to ship 1, with a small amount of money in their bank.

The middle of the map is going to be 'Central Park" and there will a sub way access point at all four coners of the park.

The sub way is a quick wat of getting around town, but is limited to where it stops, you will be warped only to the corners of the map.

Within the park is a soccer field for the kids to play around as well as many spots to safely camp out, the park is safe and pleasant.

 

Spread around town are a lot of diffetent stores and shops.

There will be Car Lots where players will need to go to purchase a car when they have saved enough money.

Gun Shops where players can veiw and buy the various weapons available.

Pawn Shops where players can sell all sorts of items they have purchased and may not want anymore. (for less then they paid)

Fast Food and Restaurants where players will have to buy food, in order to stay alive, if a players "Hunger" reaches 0, then they will

die, but not all is lost, a dead player will be revieved at the hospital, they will be allowed to renenter, but will lose everything they

have earned. Food is cheap and easy to find. A players Hunger would not be affected if in a safe area.

Gas Staions, once a player has a car, they need to maintain it. The gas will not be affected unless the player is moving.

If the car takes too much damgage, it will also force the gas meter to 0, and they player will have to get out and walk.

 

The stores around the map not only help you, but if you are low on cash, you can rob them. Once you rob a shop, the police force is informed

and your location is called out. You need to run from them for a certain amount of time, 10 or 15 minutes sounds good. If you out run them,

great job, if you get caught, you will be sent to jail for 10 minutes, (or w/e) or have the option to post bail and get back on the streets.

The police freq is private, and is mostly AI bots and staff, they will have their own set of rules, and do not have the same style of gameplay.

There AI bots that are running could be warped near the criminal's location for the first 30 seconds preriodicly.

 

Normal players can do some volenteer work, but this will be limited to a a few hours a day. Its like a job, and does pay when you are on call.

Players signed up will be called apon if back up is needed. The freq 911 is reserved for this purpose, as well has the team chat, for calling

out crimes and criminal locations. Also, ship 8, (not for sale) is the police cruiser.

 

There will be two default teams or gangs, lets just call them the A's and the B's.

A Capture The Stash game is played by them, they each have their own buliding, and they need to protect it from the other gang.

If the A's or the B's find and get the stash, they must return it to their building. If this is done, then that team wins the round.

Along with winning, each player on the team gets rewarded with money.

 

Private freqs are allowed, as well as private gangs.

A player must first start a gang, and they will be the leader and have control of who joins. Half of the players !@#$%^&*ets will be put into the

gangs bank, and when a player is arrested or dies, the cost will be deducted from that. They may also make other purchases, but that will

need to be approved by the gang leader. Priv freqs will not be allowed to participate in the Caprute The Stash game, rather only be able to

roam the city and cause havok.

So when anyone gets some time, I would love to get a start on this, it seems the only way to make this happen effectivly is a lot of ASSS coding, but I can not do that.

I really think this would not only draw in a ton of players, but if managed right it would bring a lot of new people.

why make a "digital life". live you're real one.

Subspace is not an RPG. Sorry, but I don't think this will work out.

[»Purge]

good ideas usually involved space ships as actual ships, considering it is easy to implement into the game (since Continuum is already space ship based with space ship settings).

[Resol]

I had a start to this arena with a simple bot, it looked nice a people liked it.

Not all good ideas have to be space ships, look at MG.

[Samapico]

Mystic Kingdom was pretty popular... and it was using Subgame. They could have done much more with ASSS.

 

could be fun...

[Resol]

There had been a lot of nice attempts to non-ship zones, most of them fail because they are not fun, this one would be. I know a lot of people would play it.

It does not have to be an RPG style like MK is, but it would be nice to have the money and items saved, but anyway I see that no one is interested in helping me out, can anyone do any of this in either ASSS or a bot?

[Smong]

Maybe split it into paragraphs so it's easier to read.

[JDS]

basicly a subspace adaption of grand theft auto, but MMORPG style? have fun making that.. but it would be fun

There was a pirate RPG ASSS zone.. that was pretty fun, coulda been made different, would have made it more fun (ships shooting at right angles.. like a real pirate ship)

 

but yea, subspace has potential...

new zones won't have such a big success anymore, in terms of gathering new population to the game. another Subspace game would, though (like some of the games that are in development now, not clients).

[ThunderJam]

Truthfully i think this could be good, if it was insanely well developed.

 

In terms of upgrading ships, you would use HS's stuff for that. And like HS, make it so each upgrade has some negative affect to. So you dont jsut upgrade bombs, but lower bombfiredelay, etc. Otherwise the ppl who have been there longer will have too big of an advantage and noobs will not stick around.

 

Trick would be too not make it too complex also. Gotta find the balance between rpg, and action.

[ThunderJam]

Speculation about your ideas:

 

You would probly want 2-3 people ships. Couple cars, and maybe someting else. Permanent money in a bank, subway and permanent upgrades like HS are all good ies.

 

Id say no to pawn shops and food, too much rpg stuff will kill gameplay. gas might be good.

 

Robbing stores shouldnt be an option always available, else it will be abused. Say every 30 mins a bot/or ASSS message goes to several players saying "___ store security is on a break, you have a chance to rob them!" One ship could be a police car, and could be available to all players, just make it so when u use it your auto on police freq. Then anyone can chase robbers. Or an arena message could go out saying "A bounty is on ___'s head by the police, get him for them and you get ___ cash." A freq for all bots and staff seems bad.

 

Jobs/volunteer work is lame but i suggest having lil ppl scattered aroudn the map or in houses that give you missions like, go get my drugs from somewhere, go kill a certain player, etc. Probly each player could only do these once each. Cept for assassination kinda missions.

 

Capture the stash sounds ilke ctf basically. You could also have turf flags, or be able to spawn at turf locations like ds/the complex. Powerball is also an option, etc.

[JDS]

honestly, Id rather fly around and kill pilots in space ships, and fight with mylife to keep the flags safe.

 

 

but city life is fun too.
