Not sure why you picked me and not Chronoboy, but thanks. I think we oughta keep public for the time being, but a private forum will be really useful when we get into the boring slog of maptiles and stuff that nobody outside of the group is really going to care about.

We're not getting anywhere on the Producer front here, people. This is the same kind of group paralysis we're seeing in the Top 30 thread. I *KNOW* you've all got ideas you really and truly care about and want to see made. We didn't get into this hobby to make something pointless and banal for the sake of making something. Otherwise, we'd be knitting doilies or some crap.

I'm not sure what kind of ideas motivate me these days. I don't want to sit around making moronic semi-porn games and jokes. I want to make something big and fantastic, with the genuine emotional content that made me fall in love with RPGs on the Super Nintendo. I just don't know how to do it, or I start to do it and I get lazy and it's easier to go the other way. At some point, you realize people are gonna give you the same non-reaction no matter what you make, that even if you did make that epic that everyone always talks about and even if it did mean something to someone, they'd never tell you about it. You can't make a game like that for someone else, not entirely. You've gotta want it yourself.

EDIT: Actually, I do know what motivates me. Consider this a threat: If there is one more "make a game about farts" comment, the following screenshots will become a reality.

Finally, a role playing game game RPG I can relate to.

But what if I say I'm actually curious about that game idea, thus making it TWO comments saying to make a game about farts?

In a lot of ways, it'd be the perfect warm-up project. Nobody cares too much about it, so we can go off on tangents if they pop up. It's not a terribly serious concept so we don't need to be assholes if someones art isn't up to snuff. And once we've made a game about farting together it's gonna be impossible to feel bad about anything else we'd try to make later.

So if anyone is down to help me, and I don't blame you if you're not, why don't we think about some scenarios that would be interesting for a fart to run into. Crowded elevator, fancy restaraunt, hiding at the bottom of a bowl of soup. Where's the last place you'd want to see a fart? What kind of people would react in the most interesting ways to a fart? Hoity toity heiress? Stewbum? Johnny Knoxville? In what ways could a fart interact with the environment? Getting sucked into a fan, being sprayed with air freshener. What techniques does a fart use in combat? I think there should be some kind of ability to waft, in the same way a dragoon leaps. Maybe your opponent has a clothes pin on their nose, how does a fart deal with that?

Let's take this ball and run with it. Let's do it to prove a point: That we're such fucking badasses that we can take an idea like farts and turn it into comedy RPG Gold.
