Hmm. Nothing medieval? That kinda kills it. You should make an RPG that is medieval. Something where you can cast spells, PvP, ect. You definitely want something that you could draw subscriptions off of. Most people, including me, love medieval stuff. Swords, mana, shadows, and any mystic creatures seem to make us very interested.

I don't know much else you could do an RPG of. Maybe a gang-land setting, but that's it.

"Ok, im bored, iv been seeing screenshots. Im about to start on a game. Butttttt from my last game which i spent a year on, and didnt turn out to be popular, which i thought was stupid, im gonna be a little more careful. First of all no dbz. But, You guys are going to be the ones playing it. So tell me, what kind of rpg? No medevil please and thank you."

I know, but why does he insist on making an RPG? RPGs are overrated, and usually for a one-man project, are very long and tedious. I can read, I promise.

With some creativity, a modern day RPG could work out, but that would probably turn out boring. I'm working on a futuristic one right now.

And BB, to many rpgs are medevil theme.

And those are the popular ones.

On one hand, you have an original game with original ideas, which won't be as popular. On another, you have medieval fantasy, complete with an already made basic gameplay style, which will be popular (or atleast, popular-er).

People play what they know they already like.
If it isn't top of the line, as far as graphics, layout, and all that fun stuff players like, they probably won't stick around too long to see if they really do like something they've never played before.

If you're gonna make an original RPG all on your lonesome, you'd better be good at iconing, coding, graphics, and advertising it.

Good looking icons and pictures usually draw in players, if not long enough for them to decide if they like the game or not.

Good luck.

Ever played Archipelago? Some type of survival RPG like that, except it's not as buggy and gets worked on.

Yeah. The people who say those are the best ones are dumb asses. FF7 was about an emo kid doing terrorism. I rather liked 8, so I won't say anything about it.
