UTAU RPG Idea

[StarlightsShadow]

EDIT: Alright guys, how about this: I'm excepting UTAUs right now to start working on sprites for, and help from you guys if your willing.

These UTAUs will be the first to be put in the game besides some of the popular ones. All UTAU are welcome, but the only rule is that the UTAU must at least have a downloadable bank available. (That means no privates or WIPs.) You may put as many of your UTAUs if you want~ I need as many as possible guys. That means bring it on! :D

I need this information though:
UTAU's Name:
Voicesample:
Reference:
Personality:

Also, about help. I need people mostly for plot development and sprites for right now. The other stuff will be put on later.



Okay, I already said something about this back on tumblr, but I wanted to bring it to attention here as well.

I've been having this idea for a huge RPG UTAU game in mind. I made up some elements that are similar to Pokemon-like RPGs:

- You are given a digital armband that contains the UTAU program inside, and when you press a selected musical note symbol, a UTAUloid will appear to you as a solid being.

- Each UTAU is a musical bit of aura. It floats around anywhere there is music. Only those with the UTAU program can spot them.

- UTAUs are not just instruments, they are fighters that will follow every command you give them. They have their own set attributes, abilities, and attacks.

- You have the option of collecting UTAUs. There is a large database that has the inscriptions of all UTAU. They all have their own entry data and everything.

-Atrributes consist of these:
Dark
Fire
Wind
Wood
Light
Water
Earth
Thunder

-Abilities all very within all UTAU, including stats.

-Other options will be included like contests and mini-games.

So far what do you guys think? I was wondering if any of you would be in to it? ;w;

this looks really interesting!
I like the idea of having the utau program as an digital armband that "summons the utau"
and that the utau characters can fight.

May i sugjets that when you get to the "tutorial part"(showing how to use the utauprogram and the characters) you use defoko ^u^

[sup]I hope this statement doesn't come as rude or insulting to your premise's individuality, because it's really the way my simplistic brain puts this information in the simplest of thoughts, and you have to understand that I'm really not that intelligent of a person, so you really shouldn't be insulted when I say,[/sup]

OMG UTAMON!!1!

 

[Sylphique]

I think its a pretty neat idea. I wish you well ヾ(´▽｀ゝ.

 

[PKLpikachu]

(^_^)b Sounds like a good idea to me!

 

[TheSnowSongstress]

I really like this idea, it's very adorable. But as Purin said, it sounds like singing pokemon to me o v o; I suggest giving each utau a way to sort of change it's stats. Like getting to change it's state, like an append
Power - Stronger attack and defense, weaker speed and evasiveness
Soft - Higher speed and evasiveness, weaker attack and defense
Vivid - Stronger attack and speed, weaker defense and evasiveness
Dark - Stronger attack and evasiveness,weaker  defense and speed
Light - Stronger defense and speed, weaker attack and evasiveness

etc, just examples c:

Oh, I didn't mean Utamon in a negative connotation, by the way. Just because it's similar, doesn't mean it's necessarily bad. If Starlights wanted to sell the game, however, it would be a completely different situation.

I actually really like the idea, although I think there would be a lot of challenges with creating it. For example, you could use the VIPPERloids + Defoko, Momo, etc. as the basic "singers", but then that feels sort of limited. It would be neat if you could find a way to customize your singer. Like if Person A wants to play, but feel sad that their UTAU isn't involved at all, they could just make their own UTAU from a large list of presets (for stats, color schemes, etc.), although the accuracy would vary since there are really unique designs out there. It would be hard to fully embody the freedom UTAU has with UTAUloids.

There might be an issue of conflict, though. Unless your going with the whole trainer-battle idea.

 

[TaiyoProwerz]

This is a really great idea! It'd take a LOT of effort from everyone, but it would be so epic if it actually did come to be. And YES. Defoko MUST be the tutorial one. 'Cuz that's just awesome xD
WE COULD HAVE THE CV SERIES VOCALOIDS AS THE ELITE 4 8D *brutally murdered*
AND TETO'S SIGNATURE MOVE COULD BE BREAD BASH
Lol xD but yeah in all seriousness I think this is a great idea and I really support it! OwO

[/quote]i'm not saying it's necessarily bad, i just in my opinion think it might be too much like pokemon. i'm sure there are people who'd love a full on utau version of pokemon (Not saying that this is like that, just expressin how different opinions can be)

And i was going to suggest that too, but like you said, it'd be hard with a lot of the fandom's unique designs, plus the number of utauloids out there

And also, i think it'd be cool for some japanese utaus (not just vippers) to be the main plot characters XD
relationship from this game to pokemon example:
Defoko - professor
Teto - main rival
Ritsu - officer jenny
Rook and Ruko - Jesse and james / bad guys
Maiko and Oniko - merchants
etc o v o
Momo Momone - Nurse Joy

Ah, I just accidentally twisted your words around. Sorry about that. x_x

And Momo Momone as a Nurse Joy character would be super cute. <3

I think it'd be cool if there was a "trainer battle" like scenario, using UTAU users would be neat. Like Myst, or double battles with Scarfu and Taiwonton. xD

 

[TheSnowSongstress]

yes 8D amg, i want to battle Shinami * A *

 

[StarlightsShadow]

Whoa, hold on. Let me try to reply to all this. xD
Let me start from the beginning...

this looks really interesting!
I like the idea of having the utau program as an digital armband that \"summons the utau\"
and that the utau characters can fight.

May i sugjets that when you get to the \"tutorial part\"(showing how to use the utauprogram and the characters) you use defoko ^u^

Thank you, I'm glad your interested~ ^-^
I actually had the same thought about Defoko being the guide/starter UTAU. That way everyone starts out equally. (Also, because she is the default UTAU.)

@PurinPuff:
Don't worry, I was expecting the comment~ xD
I have no intentions on making a profit on the game, because I wanted to make a huge, free RPG for the fans of UTAU, or just anyone in general, whether or not the person is a UTAU user. (Also, If I actually did want to sell it, think about the amount or trouble I would have not just with the Pokemon Company, but with many UTAU users who I have not asked permission from...)
Also, the game won't focus on VIPPERS or Popular UTAUs in general. My goal is to put as many UTAU as possible that can put within the game. (Japanese, overseas, popular, unpopular, etc...) (Think about that, that's a lot considering how many UTAU that are out there, but I did say this will be a HUGE project.) That way, you can save the customizations for your user character rather the UTAUs themselves. Also that it will keep the users happy as well knowing their UTAU is in the game.

Also, I've been trying to develop  a different way of battling without the battle looking too much like a normal Pokemon battle. I was thinking about having the battles similar more to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. You set your UTAU out, and you able to control it during battle by moving them throughout the screen.

@TheSnowSongstress: Thanks~! ^-^
I do like your idea about the appends changing stats, but are you putting it as evolution or just normal form change? (Because I really don't want the UTAUs to evolve, but the form change is fine.) Or are you thinking more on the line of abilities? ouo

As for the comparisons between characters... Yes, in a way Defoko is like a professor, but also she is an useable fighter as well. (However, she will have medicore stats, so I would expect many users to put her far away in the program's storage after they get along with stronger UTAU. (Ha, ha... You probably know where I'm getting with that...)
Momo as a nurse is noticeable, but I was thinking of her sort of a Chansey/Audino UTAU. (You know, like a helper UTAU.)
VIPPERloids and Maiko are probably going to be rare UTAU in the game that will be extremely hard to find. (Some might have events...)
Besides, the humans are actually in more control than the UTAUs. The police, nurses, merchants, and NPCs are going to be humans, not UTAU... That doesn't mean though that the UTAUs can't think...

I think its a pretty neat idea. I wish you well ヾ(´▽｀ゝ.

Thank you for the support~ >w<

(^_^)b Sounds like a good idea to me!

Thanks~! :D

Thank you very much~! :D Yes, it would probably take a lot of effort, and of course since this is my idea, I'll probably have to work on most of it myself. (Though I really don't mind. ^-^)
I was actually excluding the Vocaloids out of this since this is a UTAU game. (All characters are either UTAU or human.) Though, they might be mentioned a couple of times if needed.
Also, the Bread Bash thing doesn't sound like a too bad of an idea really, thank you for suggesting that! xD
Also, thank you for the support, I appreciate it~ ;w;

Guy's as for battling popular users, that doesn't sound like a bad idea! Though, I would like to see if they would be interested in wanting to be a character in the game. ^-^

 

[StarlightsShadow]

So sorry for double posting guys, but read the top for additional information~

 

[TheSnowSongstress]

Normal changes, like with deoxys <- i can't spell
If you WERE gonna do evolutions, i think ACTs would be better than appends o v o

and ooh, maybe ask some popular users if you can use their mascot for main human characters? :D Like Nami, Myst, Acorn, Scarfu, etc~ o v o

Hm, but for Acts most UTAU never change in appearance, so normal form change sounds more fitting.

I was planning on asking them soon, however I'm not sure if they would accept or not. (You never know though.)  xD

 

[HulderBulder]

ok, I just woke up so im not shure if its a good idea or not.
But should we add resamplers in the game? Like they give utaloids a temporary boost, or like equipment? And if so, should there be diffrent effects to diffrent voice types, forexample whispery voices gets better boost/stats from bkh01?

Yeah, maybe as hold items you can equip to them. However, I know bkh01 helps out whispery UTAUs, but what of the others resamplers? ouo

hmm, tips for deep, freesamp for high, w4u some special banks? ^_^' maybe in the beginging you start with dl resampler and then uppgrade it to the regular resampler?

 

[SugarSweetVenom]

Oh my .. so complex. How did you even think that up < A > ?

[/quote]

Yeah, and through the progression of the game, you win certain resamplers during events in such. (During the main story mode, but some new one's will be available after as well.) Thank you for clarifying some of them since most of those I've barely used. ^^;

Oh my .. so complex. How did you even think that up < A > ?

Because I am a completely complex person. v-v
*Shot*
Just kidding. :P It was just something I thought up because I've been wanting to make a Pokemon-like RPG with the UTAU fandom in mind. The thought of using so many UTAU, battle and strategically alike, would be a very interesting and cool idea. ^-^
