A Community Project Options

[Kaust]

I've been talking this over with some of the staff and so far they all seem pretty keen on the idea.
Its basically what the title says, a game that is built by the community for the community. Participation can be anything from spriting and faceart to just mapping out a town. Everything a game needs to be completed, RRR Needs You
(There was also the suggestion of Rev Points for participation, though that hasn't been confirmed).

So basically this post is to establish who would be interested in such a project, what engines you have access to (could always download a demo of another if we end up using one you don't have) and really just any ideas, suggestions or questions you may have.

Paladin's Quest is an old school traditional menu based snes rpg. It isn't the greatest of rpgs but it had some interesting systems, like magic costing health instead of mp and the party system I described.

Great idea, kayden! By RTS are you suggesting something along the lines of starcraft? or did you mean a tactics game like final fantasy tactics and stella deus?

edit:
If in fact you want to do a traditional menu based battle system, how would you like the characters to work? I mean, I thought the idea was to be able to drop a ton of characters in which would be references to people making the game, mods, staff, and cameos from people's projects. I can see this working with a tactics game too, it would just have a lot of playable characters to choose from similar to disgaea and stella deus. But as an RTS...unless you are wanting to make it something like suikoden, i'm not seeing us having the ability to drop in random characters and keep the balance in an RTS. But hey, totally up to the community
