Hello world, this time I have a huge proposal / mad project to show you. I have been thinking at how creating it in the last months...

Is there a way to merge into one huge game taboo, pictionary, and any game that comes to your mind?
Well there are some games that do that, such as party & co, cranium, et cetera...

I also have been thinking....

What if the subjects came from VIDEOGAMES?

Yes. I've been creating a game where you have to draw pokemon, answer final fantasy questions and so on.
The greatest NERD game ever seen XD

I've created a question generator with rpg maker, that randomly picks a question in the database and it is then shown along with the timer.
What do you think? Are you gonna support me with this madness?

Standalone this sounds like a fantastic idea, but its also very innovative for an RM game.
Gotta say though: Real Monopoly > VG Monopoly.

Will this possess some multiplayer capacity? Its really the principal aspect of board games, I can't think of any you play alone.
Either way I look forward to seeing where you go with this.

Well the basic Idea is that you find real friends to play with, then you create a board upon which you can play (Maybe in the future I shall provide a template of the board, but it will look as the pictionary one);

then...

each time a player steps on a challenge, he is questioned what the rpg maker program said (or he tries to make other guess it, it depends on the challenge).

The winner is the team which reaches the final square in the board.

I think that there's no limit in the number of players... Just 4 is the minimum (since there must be at least 2 teams with 2 members each)

I have already a demo of the project, but it is in italian and I don't think it can be fully appreciated right now...

However it could be easily translated in english and everyone can really contribute with his own questions in the database (Maybe in the future a Select Language feature can be added)

Trivial pursuit + Pictionary + Taboo + Mimic + Singing plus Final Fantasy, Pokémon, Dragonball...

That's the NERDEST way to ideate a board game

You should post the list of subjects, maybe this could help...

BTW, it seems rather funny!

Pictionary: the player draw a card and then... has to draw a Chocobo?! AAARGH!
Mimic: mimic Bahamut, for example
Singing: One Winged Angel?!
Taboo: try saying "Hexaflare" without saying Bahamut, Summon, Dragoon, Flare

This should be great

Just to make things clear... Up to date the challenges are the following (however, they can be modified):
(I hope my english is intellegible)

1. Art category:
   • a. Drawing
   • b. DAS Moulding
   • c. Shadow Playing
2. Theater category:
   • a. Mimic actions
   • b. Singing!
   • c. acting like a character
3. Culture category:
   • a. Taboo
   • b. Trivial pursuit
   • c. Puns

Ok that's it... Can you imagine it? Trying to sing Aerith Theme, or trying to give shape to a Diglett, or trying to mimic a CHOCOBO! I think this is gonna make us become a lot nerd
And with my game there's no need of card or whatever, just a pc with my program and you can share your game everywhere in the world

The spirit of the game is to actually provide a lot of subjects, and the player is free to choose them accordingly with what he/she does actually know.

Planned Subjects:

• Final Fantasy
• Pokémon
• Dragon Ball
• Crash Bandicoot
• Spyro the Dragon
• Naruto

Since you can choose them in-game, well, the more, the better (for the player)
You can add the subject you wish! There's no limit in this

Is there anyone who wishes to support me with this madness?

I'm as mad as you need Feoden
But remember: if I've to do something for mimic I'll choose something like...
1 - Yojimbo
2 - Daigoru
3 - Ultima Weapon

For Pictionary:

1 - Spira
2- Yu - Yevon
3 - Vegnagun (I wanna see who will manage to do this )

But I'll post in the future something more...

Since it is an open project, there will be more than infinite subjects to draw, or questions to be answered....

I just want to see how many people want to lend some of their knowledge to develop this program
