[Hiatus: Looking for Coding Help] "The Life of Kanye" RPG

Hey, Lit Like Bic Here: We're looking for coding help. Ideally, we need people with some experience in RPGMaker or game design in general. I definitely regret letting this project die for a couple of months, but we're looking to continue.

Hey KTT,
So we all know Kanye has been interested in video games for quite some time - from the amateur game he made that got him into music, to the Only One game, and naming his upcoming album Turbo Grafx 16. What if KTT worked together to make a videogame dedicated to Ye? This is probably our best shot at getting recognized as a forum of talented & artistic people by KANYE WEST himself!!! :fire: As originally proposed by Garetare and FreeNiggaArchetype, the project would be to create a RPG with each stage/level being inspired by each of Kanye's solo albums, using Ye's most iconic songs. The story can be based around his life, with some fictional elements, like incorporating ideas from the Runaway Short Film and other music videos.
This idea could be realized if the most creative and talented of KTT work together. Even more exciting: We could get this game to Ye and be recognized :banderas:

Each album would have a different location. there are 3 acts. here are my rough ideas:
CD - Set on the South Side of Chicago - Enemies: Struggle Rappers, Manager - Mentor: Jay Z
LR - Set in Chi/(Diamonds Music Video) - Enemies: "Gangster" Image Rappers - Ally: Lupe Fiasco
Grad - Set in Universe City/Neo Tokyo -Enemies: 50 Cent, Clouds, Mushroom monsters - Ally: T-Pain (Daft Punk?)
808's - Set in a empty city/winter landscape -Enemies: Ghosts, Robocops? - Ally: Cudi
MBDTF - Set in the Runaway Music Video -Enemies: Greek Titans, Mythological Creatures (T Swift Boss Battle?) - Ally: Pusha T
Yeezus - Set in a dark factory -Enemies: Robots(think the BLKKK SKKKN HD video) Attack Dogs/Wolves -Ally: Travis Scott (Chief Keef?)
TLOP - Set in a bright Forest-Enemies: Evil Spirits, Enemies from the past stages -Ally: Chance

FOR THIS IDEA TO EVEN TAKE OFF, WE NEED A DEDICATED TEAM OF HARD WORKERS. IF YOU KNOW ANY CREATIVE/TALENTED PEOPLE, LET THEM KNOW!!!

Let me know if you want to join. (Big S/O to garetare, FreeNiggaArchetype, and all of KTT)

You're all welcome to brainstorm ITT, we need all the help we can get :yejoice:

Wasnt itt cause i didnt know it was actually happening. This is awesome. Can i be in on some ideas?

I see your undecided on the grad partner. I think it should be his mom. or his mom should be like a auto companion for the first 3 levels.

Then at the end of the grad level yall can maybe make a little sad cutscene with an 8 bit pinnochio story melody with her, Ya know... Dying. Just for emotional impact. Doesnt have to be her just dying either, it could be a metaphorical thing. Just for emotional impact.

Anyway her "death" should make a literal portal that kanye walks into maybe with a pokemon style menu thats like

"enter heartbreak?"
> accept
>decline

If the player decides to press decline it could trigger a little easter egg dialog thing as the options. Appearing one at a time like

> its okay...
*press*
> i know how you feel
*press*
> its not your fault.
*press*
>these things happen
*press*
>but we gotta get through this
*press*
> its okay, take your time
*press*

Then it goes back to
Enter heartbreak?
>Accept
>Decline

Ya get me?
The only true real option is accept obvs

I think Donda won't be like a party member but kind of like an emotional push from the sidelines. I do like your cut scene idea.

ahh okay. Yeah. And thanks. I think the cutscene and hidden options would add depth to the 808s lvl after it. Ya know setting the tone.

You think 808s level design can look like the coldest winter vid? Dark blue hues in a dead leafless forest, ghosts and shit in the back. With again the 8 bit pinnochio story as a main thing, but if you guys are trying to have boss battles and enemy fights yall can have an 8 bit coldest winter on deck to ramp shit up when needed?

I think it should be a slow and reflective level though, like the album itself, but thats just me. MBDTF would be where shit gets crazy

EDIT: just read that you guys are set on an empty wintery street type thing. I think thats better disregard my level design idea lol.
Still think pinnochio story and coldest winter should be the 2 main songs tho.

Yeah your option thing leading up to the 808s an Heartbreak could add depth. Each level is gonna be a few sections each so one part definitely could look like the Coldest Winter video. 8 bit Pinnochio Story would be cool too. Thanks for the input.

I feel like this would work better like "Accept your mother's death" or something at the end of the 808s era.

Its not really accepting your mothers death in a healthy way yet. More like accepting thats shes dead and going through the grief and pain. Especially since ye thinks it was his fault that she died.

Imo the acceptance part wont come until the end of yeezus era.

And it would be alot happier, you guys want yeezus in a dark warehouse? Maybe kim and north could appear by the exit door at the end of the level. 


Then maybe Ye kim and north wal out the dark industrial area, making their way into the tlop forest. And if u interact with one of them before you start getting close,  the 8 bit only one piano chords can come in.

And you interact with the other one , a faded donda can walk besides you for the rest of the way,
And the song starts over fully formed with the melody of ye's verse and everything as you gradually walk out of the darkness into the light of the tlop forest.

When u guys make it to the exit point of the level to play the tlop forest it prolly wont be a portal but maybe a woody road or a path. and when u accept to go nori and kim give donda a hug and go on towards the path.

While kanye stares at her for a few seconds. Then you can finally interact with donda. She'll say 1 single sentence.

>im proud of you

Then she fades away and ye continues to move forward onto the tlop forest.


I know ye has north and kim at the begginning of the yeezus era but this is just for the sake of the game lmao.
