Edit: finished: >> Play it here <<
_______ Original Post _________
well heres the concept sketch:
The plan is to have lofi gameplay, which to me means the most basic and simple stuff to still be called an rpg.
at the moment my idea is to have only two gameplay choices, progress (move forward the story and get closer to the 'end', at the rist of dying) or grind (level up and reduce your risk of dying when you do progress). which you could argue alot of rpgs boil down to anyway =p
my own progress wise, I have coded the player movement in the world (I made a dot go along a line lol)

I now have battles and leveling coded, might need a little balancing to see how it works at higher levels but I think its going well.

thanks increpare :D
anyhoo, its screeny time again:
The text scrolls behind the game depending on how far through you are, I was going to have speech bubbles and pauses in gameplay for my plot but I think this suits much better and makes for extra uniqueness (which is a bonus when the game isnt 'technically' fun :D

beautiful! (only slight problem is that one of the deviantart info panels partially obscures the top-left corner of the screen (you must work in higher res than me)).

Hahaha, It's not an RPG, it's an RPG satire. I like how you've boiled everything down to its simplest elements.
The funny thing is, even though the game is essentially linear with a lot of backtracking, the scrolling story was enough to keep my attention engaged all the way to the end (much like a lot of "real" RPGs do...).
Nice job.

In a fair world, this should track down and eat You Have To Burn The Rope, and take all its glory for itself. :)

its wierd, I didn't intend for it to be satirical at all originally, but I think if you strip away something to its core it will often look a weaker than it did before. but I am happy with how it turned out, at least it has value even when it isnt that fun :)
anyhow, thanks guys for the great feedback and providing the environment for me to make this, it was fun making games with you and I look forward to doing it again :D
I cant wait to check out everyone elses entries later, they all look brilliant :D

Interesting concept! I didn't know what the hell was going on at first, but then I realized soon enough!

I'm not sure what to make of this. Nice story, no choices, no challenges, no exploration, no gameplay. As a satire, it doesn't really say anything that Progress Quest hasn't already said, but I enjoyed this much more than I enjoyed Progress Quest.

interesting concept. I haven't decided if it works, being more a fan of the epic rpg, but It's def. a unique concept (good thing)
extra props for representing with a flash RPG
