So, I've always enjoyed a good RPG, I've been a member of a community for some time now.
Byond (Build Your Own Dream), They give you the tools to make games.
Most people on this site restrict the possibilities though, so I think I could come up with something decent.
If you guys remember the mockup menu video I did a while ago, that was the start of this idea.
It was a thriving community at one point, now it's just about 2,000, 3,000 people some days.
It's a basic little program, and when I say restrict I mean, small graphics, gameboy sized players and tilesets.
Just to give you an idea of what others are doing:

Don't get me wrong, these dudes are skilled in what they do, that's why the site hasn't died.
The program has it's own code language, and I've taught myself basic things here and there when I get time.
It's just something on going I've been thinking on.
I've done stuff like this over the years, starting small, working up to bigger projects.
Some people call it Pixel Art, dot by dot in Microsoft Paint or another similar.
I prefer OG Though, Microsoft Paint is what I've always used.
I plan to code in a pop-up window with full-screen capability
and the players will be two to three times larger than what's here.
These graphics don't reflect what I plan for this game, given I've been brewing the idea for years..
I've got to get it just right and there's no rush.
Just to give you a taste of what I have done though:

So Here's what I found the good part..
I started writing for the game, not talking, just the ideas
but it's already painting a picture for me.
I just wonder if it sounds interesting to anyone.
Note, Still a longgg way to go, just got inspired to start writing.
The Fallen (RPG)
Alignment will be determined by Your first action.
Demons have invaded the town..
Note: Your Family is Human, and incapable of surviving.
(Player will not know this until the plot twist)
You are faced with a decision for your family:
[I'll Kill Them off!]
[I Will Defend Them.]
[Do Nothing.]
[I'll Kill them off!]
You Kill Your Family..
They do not perish, but you absorb their souls and feed on their sins.
(A surge of demonic energy overwhelms remaining foes,
Screen fades black, you appear in town
Chapter I "Aftermath")
You Will Play the game with the Evil Alignment.
There is a slight red tint to your weapons, armor and any tattoos.
It will become more apparent as you proceed.
Town Folk Cower in Your Prescense, You do not help,
You take what's Yours.
[I will Defend Them.]
You attempt to defend Your Family..
but fail, They Perish, but rise to the heavens.
(An Angel decends and wipes remaining foes with one sweep.
Screen to Black, you appear in town, Chapter I "Aftermath")
You Will Play the game with the Good Alignment.
There is a slight blue tint to your weapons, armor and any tattoos.
It will become more apparent as you proceed.
Town Folk seek your advice, You gain a few additional quests.
[Do Nothing.]
You Stand Idle, Hands Shaking..
Your Family Suffers from this action, perishing slowly,
but rise to the heavens.
You Will Play the game with the Netural Alignment.
There is a slight green tint to your weapons armor and any tattoos.
It will become more apparent as you proceed.
Town Folk do not notice you much, You appear average,
but you have the power to sway their thoughts over time.
Questions? Thoughts? Love?
It will be on PC by the way, if you didn't catch that, given it's going to be all "pixel art" pc specs won't matter much.
