Okay all, time for me to bring up my dark and twisted plot.
Well, not really dark and twisted, but...
Anyway, some of you may already know this, but I am going to start my own Mecha RPG guild soon. Once I accumulate enough gold I will, but I have a slight problem. I have two different mecha ideas I could go with. I could do a general mecha game similar to Mechwarrior, or actually more close to Steel battallion, or I could do a spinoff of my main Mecha game, which involves magic. Yes folks, mechs, with guns and swords, and magic.
Let me know what y'alls opinions are about that, so I can decide what to do. Also, what would you like to see in a Mecha video game/RPG.
Just to let you know, I'm not planning on doublecrossing this guild by doing this, or doing any other foul act. I'm not going to try and steal away the members here. I joined this mecha guild originally to see how a mecha guild would be put together and run, and I see Ermor did an incredible job of putting this one together. I don't know if I could make mine as good, but I'll do what I can.

What I like in mech video games are the ability to customize your mech. Such as Mechwarrior and Chromehounds.
If your looking for mechs and magic, you can look into Escaflowne. Or you can just mix and match several ideas.

I actually decided to go with a spinoff of my other mecha series. I'm gonna do the plot from the Ancient War, so we'll be playing the Ancients that you'd see in my original game.
Anyway, as with just about every game I make you have huge customization. The original game actually involved mecha and the...
Wait a minute. I can't technically classify this game as a mecha anymore, since the Ancients were actually biological. Oops.
Well anyway, you still have huge class cusomization. Instead of being able to change the layout, like gun arms or humanoid arms, there's all kinds of weapon, equipment, and armor attatchments like a typical mecha game. You also choose your base class, which sets up your character's physical build.
Then of course, lots of magic which always makes things interesting.
Man I can't believe I JUST realized it wasn't a mecha game. Though it still is going to play like the ACTUAL mecha game.
And one more note I wanna make. It's going to be an actual GAME guild, not a fun free RP style guild like this or any others that I've seen yet.

I dont know about magic, but telekenetics would be interesting to have with a mech RP.
I mean, its fun enough throwing a tank into the air, but throwing a tank into the air, and then making it explode with your mind? Awesome.

And if you need it, Mecha Manic's Market, My mecha art shop. This goes for the guild as well, plus all of ya will get a discount.

Well unfortunately I inhereted the guild from another friend who used it as the biggest chat guild I've EVER seen. I mean, I had roughly a hundred pages to clear out, and he had 16 PAGES of members, I'm at 11 pages left now.
Sad to say, I don't know how consistently I'll be able to post here for the time being. I'll try to post, but it will probably have days between posts.

As I was trying to explain before, it's not really much of a mecha guild anymore. It IS based off the same plotline as my actual Mecha game, but your character's are living beings.
As for what Auron was saying, I actually don't need much help in designing weapons, my actual game has 50-someodd PAGES of weapons, melee, guns, mounted weapons, solid, explosive, energy, magic, etc. I mean, having new weapon designs are always fun, but I'd like you to take a look at what I already have in the guild's shops. My weapons are not just more powerful versions of each other. Each weapon has a distinct attack style. Each one has a way to be used which is better than another style, and worse than another.
As for art, I took a look at your art Omega, it's cool, but what I saw was not what I was looking for. I'll have to show you a picture of a Vechron (the mech from my actual mecha game), and see what you can make off of that.
Look for "Vechron: War of the Ancients" if you guys are still interested. I promise it'll be cool even though it's not entirely mecha anymore.
