Call me autistic, but In my spare time I really enjoy conceptualizing new games for IPs that I really like. One that I've spent a lot of time thinking about is a classic Bioware style game for the Avatar universe. When I saw classic Bioware style I mean in the vein of KOTOR or Dragon Age Origins or Mass Effect 1.
So anyway, my main point in posting this is I'd like to run my ideas past people who know what they're talking about and see just how retarded the story outline I've come up with is:
You are the avatar. BUT you don't know it yet. In fact, you haven't been able to bend any element at all yet. You were born to a sand tribe father and a mother from a nation that depends on the origin you choose at the beginning of the game. ie you can start in any of the nations and your mother is from that nation.
As for the reason you haven't been able to bend yet, your character's father killed the last avatar in a ritualistic manner (taught to him by an evil spirit) that would allow the next avatar to be born of his line. However the ritual also released the bending powers imbued in the avatar from Ravva and spread them across the world in highly spiritual locations. The first act of the game would involve receiving a vision from Raava and consequently going to these locations to regain the bending powers and become a fully realised avatar.
The second act of the game would deal with completing your actual duties as avatar and keeping the world in balance. Key antagonists in the game would include your father Byathan, the spirit who gave taught him the ritual, an earthbending mob boss who can bend gold (but only gold, no other metals) and a sect of militaristic airbenders.The extent of co-operation between these antagonists is something I haven't decided on.
Finally, the game would be set a few thousand years before Aang to avoid any canon-breaking issues. So if it shit, tell me and if you want to know more about things like companions, tell me that too.
Note: I know this isn't my blog.
Didn't even bother to read beyond the first sentence. I'm just here to call you autistic.

Stopped reading at Dragon Age Origins
Get some taste m8
Dumping Avatar fan art I've collected to represent companions and NPCs to bump

Guru Laghima as the secret late-game companion

Mah fm nigga I do the same thing, but people like us should strive to do something with these ideas ( I'm trying) regardless i like where your going it has a jade empire vibe but with the avatar theme.
>>319770080
I would love to but I think I'd be deeply deeply disappointed with anything I could personally make
I always imagine these games as triple A masterpieces and attempting something in RPG Maker would just ruin it for me. What sort of idea are you working on?

Sounds good op. Although you missed the obvious parallels with biowares most avatar related game Jade Empire.
Does anyone have that image that came from a similar thread where a guy combined elements of fallout, tiberian sun and stalker I think, to describe the game he wanted to create?

Well i have a black book of ideas and concepts regarding gameplay and plots for games but I don't want to share them as I do plan to act on them one day but what I can tell you is that although I have many AAA title ideas I do have 2d/3D cellphone ideas I hope to bank on soon enough just to start out.

Would love to have been able to but I've never actually played Jade Empire sadly

I was thinking for a moment that if such an avatar game existed, that even though the timeline is very far removed it might be possible to have parallel problems between the protagonists. Like Aang had trouble finding a fire trainer, well in the past maybe fire was dying off the same way air was in Aangs era. So the new protagonist has just as hard a time finding a fire bender as aang did, also their disappearance will be marked and linked to a large amount of red dragons still existing in the past. One of the non-fire empires might be in the ascendancy against the other elements and is starting to do evil shit like empire-building. Just some thoughts I had.

This is something I've thought about too but its difficult because I don't want one of the nations to be the bad guy. I like your thinking

Someone needs to make an AAA Avatar game
Its just an amazing universe and we have enough of these tolkienfantasy style games
I would kill people for it
>>319774838
you and me both buddy
is that korra game good?
A survival/horror halo game would pretty cool.
You don't get a sense of it in the main games, but the covenant are fucking terirfying. Grunts are basically bipedal crustaceans with the build of a gorilla the same size as you. Jackals are bipedal velicoraptors, Elites are fucking 8 foot tall, and are twice as strong and smart as you are. Brutes are even taller then them and like gorilla's crossed with rhinos. Hunters are 12 god damn feet tall, and are giant colonies of worms in armor, strong enough to throw cars around like empty boxes.
And don't forget all of them have weaponry that can give you third degree burns just from near misses, have needles that track after you, hit you like an arrow, then explode, and elites can turn invisible, and hunters are telepathic and can feel stuff a full 30 feet around them like you can a few inches away from your skin.
And the flood of course are shapeshifting zombifying parasites that form giant hiveminds made of thousands of corpses that are basically lovecraftian elder gods.

I want to believe I'm more than a NEET with a dream.
>>319775491
Its not bad. Doesn't really scratch the right itch though that an Avatar RPG would since its just another Platinum beat-em-up
I hate when people feel sorry for having a passion.
Do your thing you asshole. and break anyone who gets in your way over your knee.

Halo: UNSC Marine
Could be great but also any non-spartan would just have no hope of survival against Covenant forces. I guess you'd go really small scope and have it be set in one place on one world with the player trying to escape enemy forces rather than engage them?
>>319775682
You're right anon. I was just trying to defend the thread from what the usual suspect insults would have been by saying them first
>>319775857
I don't see the problem with the player character dying at the end, Hell, you could even just make a game out of a tweaked adaption of The Mona Lisa.
Even a re-imainging of ODST would work as a survival horror-action game.
