I've just come up with a design for a new game. Unfortunately all I have at my disposal to create a computer RPG game is Game Maker from Yo-Yo-Games.
Basically Im going to call it Valor Quest for now(The more I repeat the name the more it sounds like Everquest. Anyways the basis for the game is similiar to Runescape wherein you can design your own character using preset character pieces. Which is going to be hard to make applicable with Game Maker. Then you go through a short tutorial in whihch you learn the skill to bait and defeat a dragon "saving" the starter city's princess. Then the King rewards you with 1000 (unit of money to be used in game) and sends you to the city your charcter set randomly assigns. once there you do what you did in the starter town, try and bait and kill a dragon, but this dragon is larger and more dangerous and requires you earning better armor and such.The reward for this dragon is reasonably higher and then you get sent on your way to the next town.
The land without a castle on it between checkpoints will be called, (area name) field, and there will be bears and such of Varying level depending on the direction you go in the field. The level cap will be set at 99 and when someone defeats ten other lvl 99's they will be placed at 100 with special lvl 100 only weapon sets. There will be tournaments and jousting competitions in the game which will award you with tournament armour and jousting horses. The better you are reasonably gets you better horses and you can compete against a cpu or another player during special events. there will only be PvP once a player reaches lvl50 and the option to join a gang of bandits or a group of Knights. You also get ranked on your questing and tournament playing ability, You start off as a Squire, then a Knight, then a Lord, then a Prince, then a King. TO go up a rank you have to do a lot of tournament play, loses don't drop your rank because people who spend a lot of time playing tournaments and lose a few times dont deserve to drop a rank or two because of it. The Number One player in the whole game is ranked Hero and get a Hero quest index and a larger inventory and a larger wallet. The prices on things drop 75% and they get a huge health increase. the only way to overtake the person is to tie their tournament points and then duel them, during the duel you both are Hero Ranked.
