Are you brave enough to post a failed Project?

My failed project was 15 minutes long, went through an entire storyline, and was made in RM2000 (yeah, you all remember that magical RPG Maker).
I thought that making a "flashback" was the most amazing thing youi can accomplish, and I was ecstatic. And making a crap load of maps (which all failed herrendously, btw) was awesome. My towns were unbelievably horrible that they could make anyone vomit.

I kinda miss those days though, when you're first learning about the basics and not having to deal with a lot of scripting, since that's all that RMXP revolves around basically (this is my opinion, and I'm being just a tad sarcastic).

Anyway, yeah. Lol, who else has been around since RM2000?
 
Well, it's not exactly a failed project, but I found a demo of the very first version of ninja penguin: Here
It has no custom scripts or anything, horrible mapping and sprites, and if you though the story was bad now... XD

I don't have any links to my failed projects, but here is a small list:

Alchemy 2.X.X
Weather Gen. Max
Lock Pick (v1.0.0 through 2.1.0, all failed)
Chaos Prime (old Gamemaker-made rpg game I was making)
Project Bind (but I'm trying to revive it)
The Nameless
Alnaria Quest
RGSS TCG Version 1
Game (side project without a name)
Twilight Princess (failed with the release of the title for the popular Zelda game on the Wii...)
Many RM2K3 projects...

I can't think of any more, at the moment, but I know there was a longer list than this...
 
Well...I've some games which I've abandoned to pass to the XP, in rm2k and rm2k3. But...probably they will be converted. How is happening to Leranoth, which was an RPG Maker 2000 project. It's still there...with Army of White Hawks, Games World (which I'll probably restart someday), Tales of Xarelt, Sword of Kaylas...

Me. Well, I've been since 95, but whatever. Hah... I have a few failed projects, but I'm not brave enough to post them, kupo.
 
I have a 250 maps long failed rm2k project. Well, not exactly failed, it was just a satirical game made by me and my sister. Lots of private jokes and in french, so I'm not going to post it.

This is why I've barely ever tried the commands in rmxp. I'm just scripting, and trust my past experience with the rest.
 
I'd post it, but it was from way back when I still had PK. It had a very emo undertone anyways. (Dunno wtf I was thinking when I started it.)
 
Hm. .I have a. .I think it was 562 map long RMXP game that never took off outside of a small Japanese community called Silent Whispers which im remaking as EoE Silent Whispers. Failed in sense of going un-noticed if I get around to translating it ill post it.
 
^^ ah nice topic, sharing avorted project:
got a nice one for you guys:
I've started this one in december and worked on it for few weeks, and we(the 2 project leaders and me) stopped it, as we found a better solution on internet...

What was that??? To recreate guitar Hero, on rmxp !!
And I did it, it's working^^ but with a different gameplay:
you listen to original songs, if you play the right note, you won't hear anything, if you play wrong, you'll hear a buzz.

As it's an avorted project, it's only a little base:
What is actually working?
single note, long period notes, and double note chords. Scrolling background...
How, important, it's playable with the real guitar as long as you have an adapter for Ps2 controller. and you set up the keys in RMXP for it.

A=Green
B=Red
C=Yellow
Z=Blue
R=Orange

use Up or Down to validate a key, like with the guitar.... the result is:
unplayable with a joypad or a keyboard, cause i didn't create a system to choose between guitar or joypad.

A little bug, which, i think, comes from round functions, is, after some time, notes are desynchronized with the song.

It's using a textfile system for the songs, which contains the notes.

You got:
2 playable songs, for a really short time...

Oh wow, I experimented with '95 a long time ago. I was probably still in sixth-seventh grade back then ':|
 
I started with rpg maker 95 (Not my first maker either!). Good grief I must of been about 10 years old. (Im 18 so do the maths). Started on making a shenmue fan game - that game rocks btw people if you've got a x-box go pic up the sequel Shenmue II

And I'm in 8th grade right now.
I experemented with it only two years ago.
 
I have a failed project, but I never finished it...and I don't plan to neither. I still have it on my computer though and its on 2K. The name is called "Joey's Worst Nightmare!" (yes my name is Joey) and its about me and my friends having special powers and we were trapped in my nightmare by this virus. Sounds cool right? Well, in dreams...things don't make sense. About 98% of the time you're fighting unnecessary bosses like Big Bird and Osama Bin Laden, 2% of the time is mindless and stupid conversations and stuff. The game will make you laugh very hard though...but I'm running out of ideas for stupidity and randomness...If you guys are lucky I might decide to finish the game and let you guys play it, lol.

At least you show that you are willing to let others play it. I'm too embarrassed to show others my first RMXP game.
