help with an animation project

[Diminuendo]

I'm currently doing a Bachelor of Animation and Visual Effects. I just finish my first assignment, which was a walk cycle; I think I did pretty well on it.

My next assignment is a 1:30 to 3 minute 2D animation, I was planning on doing a detective movie parody, but when I came to making a script, I realised that while I had some good jokes for it, the story was lacking, so I started trying to think up a new idea.

I remembered talking to a girl who was obsessed with RPGs, that’s when the idea hit me; REAL LIFE RPG! A world where toasters are punched to get breakfast, and you save your “game” on the toilet!

I’ve got a story idea for it, but I’d like to thicken out the humour in it, this is where you BenHeckers come in:

I was hoping I could get your help for any RPG clichés, or jokes I could use for a RPG world set in modern times. I’ll give credit to anyone’s ideas that I use, under special thanks (or a better title if it’s more suitable)

How about the whole scroll through menu and then 15 minutes later find a attack.

Supreme Commander of the Galaxy?


What about currency? Like someone cashing a check at the bank, and they drag out a giant bag of gold pieces?

Make their changing room like an armory. Like have them stand up with their arms extended and clothes are being put on them like Iron Man almost.

numbers always have to fly out of everything.

These are all great ideas! I already have an idea about dressing the character. keep 'em Coming

Have a health bar over their head and it's replenished when they eat.
When they finish a class or work, have a number pop over their head saying "+1 intelligence" or "$200 gained."
