How to make an RPG in scratch?

I know that it's really hard but i am extremely willing to put in the hard work to do it. I can't find a good RPG engine though and honestly have no clue where to start with it. Started making a platform scroll game and got it working... ish. It's difficult but while searching for help for that i changed my mind into trying to turn this into an RPG... I got the storyline, it's a book me and my boyfriend have been writing and want to surprise him with it. I also want to learn how to help him make HIS game idea he's been writing on for the last month but neither of us ever thought we'd get the chance.
Help please?
Can anyone tell me where to start? Whether an RPG engine or what to download or anything?

Re: How to make an RPG in scratch?

I was going through google and scratch forums and youtube videos looking for help with my scrolling game and came across a nuch of things like this: http://www.scratch.mit.edu/ext/youtube/?v=naK-4usdAPU&feature=related  and was curious if it was possible with scratch.

Uuuhhhh...

No.

Scratch is not capable of anything other than INCREDIBLY simple 3D games. And those aren't even real 3D.

It has been suggested multiple times, but will never be implemented because of the highly-complicated nature of 3D programming.

As for an RPG, I'd recommend looking up a simple x-y scrolling engine, then combine that with a rudimentary wall collision system.

Re: How to make an RPG in scratch?

There's plenty of ways to make a single-player RPG in scratch. I wouldn't look for a base, but make it from scratch. (excuse the pun  tongue ) If not, keep searching around. I'm sure you'll find something you like.

Scratch Run!

*Real* 3d pops up from out of the screen, while *fake* 3d is like raycasters, etc.

btw, about the rpg, scratch has examples of projects and one is called FruitCraft RPG, i also am making a scratch game called PixelBlade: RPG and I have some screen shots of it in my account, if you want I can also put  a version of it for you to look at on my test account Brohoof_productions. If you do want to see it, leave a comment on my main account(scratcher5000).

Re: How to make an RPG in scratch?

NavioXS,

Why not see what you can accomplish?  How would you characterize what you want to accomplish?  When I think RPG, I think of a highly art based interactive fiction with a format like:

[paragraph of story]
[big picture]
[choice][choice][choice]

make a series of pictures that are costumes of stage.
messages probably fit in something like looks.message.
messages on buttons  reflect alternative plot directions.
buttons point to other stage.costume/message/buttons.

can you make one page that links to another? 
if so, you can then go on till you run out of memory
or program execution comes grinding to a halt

or for a prepackaged app where you plug in the story,
see also Sourceforge

I admire your willingness to tackle this at the program level.
If you write a generalized tool, others will want to use it too!
If the techniques you use can't generalize, people will copy the form of your program

Good Luck!!!
