K, so your a spider? (Somebody who finds resources for other people) It's always good to have one of those. Welcome to Mayhem!

I quickly drew up an example of what I think you mean (found here.) If someone knows how to center the objects and/or improve the graphics that would be great! 

The changing of how close the person has to be to the outline is easily adjustable; same with the shape sizes.

Ok, I put the recogniton system into a battle system.

Ok, this is great. I think we need it to be a little more picky, because I keep getting 100% every time.

And, I came up with a name I kind of like:

GeometriQuest

What do you think?

If you set ghost effect to 0 you will see the object that checks it. It can be adjusted with set size; the bigger the size the easier it is and the smaller the size the harder it is.

So what style for the game?

Medieval I think. What do you say?

Also, we need to come up with some back story for the game.

As well as, if this is going to be an rpg, items, monsters, etc. If anybody could come up with a few ideas for that, that would be great.

Graphics style? Can you do pixel art? If not, I was thinking in the style of FableQuest, by 08jackt.

Right then story line:
Once upon a time there was a little circle could Bob, he didn't like geometric shapes so everyone used geometric spells to try and kill him!

Okay now seriously, There were twenty-one great wizards who every Lunar Eclipse would meet up and cast a spell across the region in which they lived. This spell would protect their home land from the dark creatures who possess the earth. On one of these lunar eclipses when the twenty-one great wizards were to meet up the location was leaked by one of the wizards who had left the protected region and during that time been corrupted by the ideas of the dark. He told the monsters of the time when the spell was weakest, this was when a lunar eclipse was in a leap year. It just so happened that the next time a spell needed to be cast was on a leap year and so the dark built up an army and marched into the land that night, some of the weak monsters still felt the power of the spell and fell dead as soon as they entered the region. However this did not stop the others, the dark has no fears had so they marched on into the land laying waste to villages and people who got in their way. They reached the location of where the wizards were to cast their spell and captured them. The wizard who leaked the dark the location was called Tyrain. He sent the captured wizards each into their own separate dimension where they were not to be seen or heard.
Tyrain took to power over the dark, leading them to other villages and tearing them apart. He left the region with the dark and forged a palace for him to live in. However Tyrain soon missed what he had. The dark were just shadows or monsters who communicated in grunts. He felt alone.

After two years of being with the dark he grew to cold and lonely, so he ran away back to the region he once lived. He opened a portal and traveled to a dimension in which he had trapped a wizard. He asked for the wizards help but was turned away. So he tried another, after his forth request he gained sides with a wizard named Richale. Then they started the most dangerous journey of their life-time. Running from dark and jumping dimensions to free the wizards he once trapped to stop the dark that ravaged the lands he once lived in.

So... what do you think?

Awesome!!!! Sweet. Let's use it! BTW, could all the dark creatures be based on polygons? Colored brown, red, black, dark green, shadowy colors you know.

Tyrain and Richale could each use a different type of magic. Maybe one ice, one fire? One shadow, one healing? You can't beat the game without using each of their special skills.

Yep! And ty, I made it up as I went along. (I'm borderline A* student in GCSE English :p)

Double amazing then.

Could we make the gameplay like Final Fantasy? With an overworld where you encounter monsters, towns where you are safe and can buy stuff, and dungeons where you encounter harder monsters. I'll start working on a tileset.

Yaeh defo!

That was what... Yiddish? JK

Sounds great.

So what should I do????
BTW - if you want any ideas for other games (say you want a group of other people to start another game while making one), I've got plenty...

Sure, list em. Right now I don't think we need sprites, however we do need some ideas for items and monsters. Read Hotwire's storyline. Do you think you could come up with a list of items? (Characters are wizards, so staffs, wands, rings, robes, etc.)

Ok, I read over all the posts and everything. What do you want me to do?

Could you get together a basic scrolling engine? After you do that, I'll put the battle system into it. (Similar to pokemon, walk into a hostile area and you encounter an enemy.)

And what do I do?
