Hi, I am thinking about making an 8-Bit RPG game. And I was thinking about making it a parody/comedy with heavy references to RPG cliches. Often making fun of them.

So, I am asking for jokes that play on older RPG Cliches. I found a nice website that lists the cliches and got some nice ideas on plenty of them. http://serpent231.tripod.com/cliche.shtml

What do you have? Got a good plot for me to make a game with? Remember, this is 8 bit. Bright Contrasty 16x16 tiles with very very limited sprite animations. Thanks

Have you looked at existing webcomics, demotivational posters, and memes/lols about 8-bit games?

Here's a link to the <a href="http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/03/02/episode-001-were-going-where/">8-bit theater webcomic</a> to get you started.

I want to help design a "sandpark" MMO. Optional interactive story with quests and deeply characterized NPCs, plus sandbox elements like player-craftable housing and lots of other crafting. If you are starting a design of this type, please PM me. I also love pet-breeding games.

YES! That is awesome!

I will have to email them to ask for permission to use their stories. Thank you
