Howdy Nexus. First of all, this is my first post! Woot woot! Primarily, the point of my posting today is to share with you all some of my ideas and perhaps get some feedback and assistance reasoning around them. I'm tired of playing sandbox games which are masquerading as role playing games. There is plenty of precedence behind my OPINION and I would rather not waste keypresses in this thread debating what makes an RPG. Make another thread for that, please. Anyways, as I've been researching, I've discovered the crux of allowing free choice in a game lies within the games event scripting and AI components. AI and Event Scripting are the things we need to make great again, and doing so with a solid gaming community is the best place to start. No idea for a true RPG is too trivial to suggest, everything has room for discussion so please, I encourage you to contribute your ideas! Whatever this project becomes, I want to keep it loosely coupled, so that assets, text resources, quest components, and even core game components can be switched out to create an entirely different game. But I'll need help building up this idea and the mechanics, so I have created a GitHub repository with many of the core ideas I've come up with so far, and I'm adding more every day, but I think that if we come together as a community and contribute our ideas, we can make something truly fantastic.
