Thanks guys. :) Silver, glad you don't mind my little land to water transition tile.

I was working on a prototype for the iPhone game, however, if we have a story already, then there is no point :p
Well, we don't actually have a story, just a setting with characters. Though sorry I dashed your plans... Your prototype looked great, why don't you continue building it? You were on a role, keep going and you'll have a full fledged RPG in flash!

Mind it, no! I think they're awesome. I'd love to see more tiles from more people.

Um, All I had down was the storyline and I wrote a bunch of code to manage tiles...
Really not that cool...

Alright, Hendo has been added to the character list. Anymore people want to be a main character within the Simple RPG?

Here's a world map mockup:

I think I've just stepped past my own restrictions with this...
What do you guys think?

Guthan - Guthan the Wise - Provides you with armor, and weapons for a small fee. He also provides you with a quest.
I'm not quite sure that description portrays your actual role within the Gmg...
The more accomplished, known, and respected; the higher role you will have. Ghost created the forum, head of the Gmg town/realm.
Silver probably made more games than anyone on the forum, he is also the welcoming wagon all packaged in one for new members...

 ;D Wow... that's perfect.

I'll give a bit of time for you guys to object to my setting/world map idea if you have other ideas or just think my idea is just plain cruddy. After that bit of time, I'll assume you guys don't mind it. So you'll forever have to hold your peace.
That's when we go onto the next phase of development.

The importance of the world map is that it lays out the world's terrain in relation to your ideas for individual maps, so the map is fine as long as you have a good reason for dividing it up as so.

I think that you should work on individual maps before making the world map. Not actually make the maps, just think of what goes on in them (special encounters, towns, dungeons, cut scenes, ect.) Then you know how to make the world map so it complements your ideas for the playable maps.

Oh, and of course I want to be a character, I'll make myself a new sprite and story as soon as I have free time.

Yeah... I'm kinda doing the whole process backwards. Make the maps, players, monsters, then finally the story. The maps, players, and characters can be edited to flow nicely with the story afterwards but the story should  be created after we create our world. Mainly due to the fact that on all group projects when we start with the story, we never seem to get to the actual map, monster, and character making. It's just a new strategy I'm trying, appears to be working so far.

Shop owner like Hendo? You have been gone for a while and only recently reappeared, so maybe a traveller?
If you want, you can wait until the maps are created for the 3 basic towns. Then it'll be easier to place yourself.

So, no objections? In 2 hours if no one hates the world map idea with a fiery passion I'll post the next phase in the game development.
