Quests-NOT A FORUM GAME

Post by Nobody »

ENTHUSIASM ENTHUSIASM.

Yeah, I have an idea where you complete various missions given to you by an unseen Master in a high-tech lab, sending robots and gadgets instead of communicating with you directly. Some of the missions may not be the kindest, but it's all for a good cause. Or is it? As you travel you hear news of, see evidence of, and see directly the journeys of another character who people refer to as the Hero. Oh, and the planned epic action platforming with epic music and professional graphics is so awesome even the people who are good at GM couldn't do that. How do you like my nice story though?

You're kinda cynical for having such a great idea.

With C++ and Source (or other engines) it could be possible.

*calls police out*

If this were to get anywhere, where would you guys want a tutorial?
  • *A crater surrounded by a thick forest with the Master's Lab inside.

    *A friendly village where you take a toaster.

    *The thick forest, which is near the village.

    *Some other place (specify)

I don't know C++, but I do know ASM. I'm also good with level design in the Source Engine in general. :wink:

Well, if anyone wants to take this over they must make me a partner in ideas and possibly random bad-looking sketches. :twisted:

I would, but I lack skills in:

-Epic music
-Professional graphics

AKA everything but fun gameplay. (Yes, I've fine tuned myself.)

FIXED:

Me-Ideas, level design.

MyNameIsKooky-No Idea, Un-Fun Gameplay, level design, snack disposal.

TheoX-I'LL MAKE HIM DO MUSIC. IT SHOULD AT LEAST BE DECENT.

Graphics Design-I'll stalk a penguin for that or something. Or settle for 'pretty ok' from whoever.

Programming-I have just the thing. I hope it's not miserably useless.

Okay, good luck with that. I think I'll switch to "Level destruction."

AKA chase levels or something.

Forcing me into this with caps lock? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ok, I can make a small tune or two in the near future. What style of music do you want?
Long or short?
Happy or sad?
Slow or fast?
etc. - just say what you want the "mood" of the music to be. :)

The village-happy slow stuff to be a village theme. Length doesn't matter.

The crater and thick forest-Lonely? There wouldn't be anyone there except for the Master when you get to his lab, which would have different music.

I thought up a name for this thingy-Quests.

Also, how's this for a (not animating unless someone bothers to animate it) base sprite for characters? This guy could be the Hero.

DP.

Who should I ask to do the spriting and backgrounds? Who would make this world for no pay? Nifflas (he made KS)? Matt (he made AUS)? Drat (he made AUGH)? A random guy on Google?

Eh, maybe. Here's what I have planned so far: You are in a village filled with cute colorful creatures, and then you learn to play while stealing a toaster from a house (which bugs yous conscience a bit). You learn from the cute creatures that Timmy has fallen in the well. Then you make your voyage through a deep forest into the crater, in which is your Master's high-tech lab. Your Master tells you what your new mission is, and you ask if you can help Timmy. He says there's no time, so you don't. You complete your next mission, and when you get back, you learn that one of the creatures (who is the only gold one) rescued Timmy, and that he's such a Hero.

DP. I might get Matt because he also uses GM. Or a guy who only does sprites, like on Google. I'm not good at picking out people to do sprites for me! On an unrelated note, how do you guys like my plot so far?

@Nobody! I like the plot! It seems pretty good so far. :D

@Deeman: You need a bulletproof vest. You've gotten shot at least a hundred times in the past month. :lol:
