I don't really like turn based RPG mechanics in a computer game. It works well in a a tabletop setting with other people, but I never thought it translated well to video games.
When I was a kid I hated turn based RPGs like the old Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior/Quest games. When I got older and I played Dungeons and Dragons, I realized the concept is fine but without other people it falls flat IMO.
I actually like the simple fetch or kill quests in Skyrim type action rpgs.
When it comes to setting, I would like to see RPGs that have fantasy worlds that are inspired by non-European mythologies. So many RPGs take Tolkien's world as their model, which was heavily influenced by Germanic mythology. I would love to see a fantasy setting inspired by Meso-American mythology and artwork. Or a fantasy setting inspired by Australian Aborigine mythology and artwork. Or a fantasy setting inspired by West African mythology and artwork. Or a fantasy setting inspried by Mesopotamian mythology and artwork. Or spin a globe and pick a random spot on the map, research the indigenous culture and art style of the people who lived there historically, and use that as inspiration for your setting. I love Hobbits, Trolls, and Odin-esque Wizards. But I have had my fill of them.
I think this is a very cool idea. I am gonna download what you got so far and check it out.
I am excited about the possibilities of this project!
PS: Dreaming big is the way to dream. Always bite off more than you can chew. Whatever you end up getting in your mouth and managing to swallow will be better than if you just nibbled.
did someone show up on discord asking for visual olfactory effects?
in all seriousness tho, your pixel portraits are very nice. anthropomorphic animal portraits would be great. your bunny girl sprite is cool too. try making oga mascot sara in that style. more "girly type stuff" like that would be cool, it is an underserved aesthetic. no offense or gender-normative discriminiation is meant by the phrase "girly type stuff" i just don't know what else to call that art style. but it's cool and you are good at it.
i just noticed that OpenClipArt.org (a few cc0 images i used came from there) is down. probably another ddos attack like what happened there before. so i'm linking here some mirrors from publicdomainvectors.org that are the same images i used.
good luck with the project. i will be keeping an eye on it.
oh these could be cool for Rynosaur Land.
I like it. Reminds me of Seiken Densetsu 3 in the Dwarf cave village.

i love the bass line. the whole thing sounds pretty good. funky, like a parliament song.
i would like to see this happen again, but if noone participates then i see why it would be a timewaster for the hosts.
my pixel art and animation skills are awful so i couldn't really participate in any meaningful way, other than music.
