Item Masterlist

Unrelated, but JukeBoxes allow you to save at certain points. They play discs.

~KEY ITEMS~

Floppy Disk 1/3 (Key Item)
It's the first floppy disk needed to save Zro. It's labeled Zro's Playlist.

Floppy Disk 2/3 (Key Item)
It's the second floppy disk needed to save Zro. It's labeled BeepBox.

Floppy Disk 3/3 (Key Item)
It's the third floppy disk needed to save Zro. It's labeled Operating System.

DisplayScreen (Key Items; Other)
A cuboid-shaped mini-screen that allows you to read text in every type of disc, record, and tape. Used to read messages or music comments.

Paintbrush (Key Items; Other)
You're an artist, now both audibly and visually!
(this item would probably give you the ability to change color palates)

BeepBox (Key Items; Boxes)
The standard. It's a black-colored box with a purple circle on it. In the corner, “Made by John.” is inscribed.

ModBox (Key Items; Boxes)
One pretty-old and pretty-well-known modification of the BeepBox. Contains some extra stuff.

JummBox (Key Items; Boxes)
The standard for people who want to go beyond standard, and for many people the most optimal. It's one of, if not the most popular BeepBox modification. Inside, there's a bunch of extra stuff- Woah, how'd Jummbus fit all of this into here?

NilBox (Key Items; Other)
It's a very blank-looking box with nothing inside. However, just holding it makes your pockets feel significantly lighter. Is this the power of recent inventions?
(it increases your inventory space by 10 slots.)

CheatBox (Key Items; help me)
This is what heckers get! Yer punishmenttttt!

~MUSIC DISCS~

(If you want a music disc to be added, send a message on the forum idk. We need a lot of discs.)

8ballguy - Raise Your Glass (Disc)
Raise your glass! Raise it for the brighter days!

dotu - Illusionary Youkai (Disc)
Imagine a mountain with a strong floral scent, this world's capital of honey. Now imagine if anything in your imagination could come true upon command. Are you feeling closer to Mys.Mt now?

alright, i think we're done here! nice!

I'll do some coding and all the art

I have an idea, it's sorta rythm based, like when you fight an enemy, it starts a rythm battle dependant on the enemy, each enemy plays their song after the other, also it could be cyberpunk with top-down, Rythm based Cyberpunk RPG very well fits the main thread as alot of people do retro music. Also the resolution should be 160p X 144p, which is the same as the game boy and fits all tilesets that have tile sizes that are multiples of 8, i think the tiles should be 16x16

I feel that every location should have a special fight theme and then they can sound good at any bpm with any melody, but it would have to be drums and a bassline.

I like where this is going, I think I'll help with anything.

I'll do art, help with story writing and help with ideas.

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/585828879/ <– this is where I will be showcasing art for the game, any improvements to the player sprite I'd be willing to hear and also I think a female protagonist could be better but I'll wait for some more opinions.

This sounds fun! I can help with music, though I'm sure many other people are more qualified for that. I can also do pixel art, as seen here and here (the second project is on my alt account), and I can do regular art, though it doesn't seem to fit the theme. I would also be cool with coding and writing, feel free to ask if you need me to help with something else

Honestly I'd like to do the art but we could split the writing for the game, I also could do a walking + walking animation handler.

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/585840139/ this is what the fight area could look like, Spare Meter fills when you spare the enemy then sparing when they are at max spare will cause them you to win, 1 enemy per fight, HP is generic for both player and enemy, if you miss a note on the track, the track is like FnF's or other rhythm games like guitar hero, you take damage. Items heal you and that's pretty simple to play but not to code.

Should the player play the four notes with their voice, a guitar, or a small 4 note piano?
