I am no genius, but I love making up and creating games in my head...and stories to go with them. Right now I'm working on two different projects, one is a First Person Shooter (FPS), and the other is an Action Role-Playing Game (ActionRPG).
I don't need help for the first as it is...well, just something I'm a member of and not the lead on, however I DO need help for the second one, as it is my project. Anyone with skills or abilities in programming, animation, texturing, sound, modeling, or anything else I missed, please feel free to post. And anyone else having any comments please post too And I know it is unlikely on such a friendly board, but just in case, I will mention this idea is mine, and stealing it would be like stealing any intellectual property.
Here is the introduction:
The year is 1698AD. You are Robert Smith, renowned sword smith, and married to the most beautiful girl in town, Ambrosia. Yet the old King sees Ambrosia passing through his castle courtyard, and demands her taken to be his mistress, as his wife is old and senile. A great skirmish ensues at your smithy, and your wife is taken by force. You are slain. Lying in a pool of your own blood, you curse Argome the King. Blood pools around you as you feel your life force flooding out of you. However, an old woman passing by, cloaked in rags, and using a stick to keep her upright, sees you, and grimly smiles.
Hearing your cursing and anger, she conjures up a spell. A spell bore of hatred, dread, and malicious intentions. You fall into a slumber, and awaken to find the witch woman is dead, and you are very much alive. You can hear the blood pumping through your veins, and the scurrying of a rat through hay. Your skin has taken on a creamy hue, and your nails look like claws. You seek a mirror, feeling a compulsion to see your face.
You grab a polished shield from your wall, and look to see your face. Yet nothing stares back at you. You see only what lies behind your person. What demons trick is this?! Remembering what happened, as it slowly comes back to your sharp mind, you realize what you have to do. Whether cursed or not, you must rescue your beloved from the fate she has been dealt. You grab your old boiled leather breastplate, and dress yourself for battle in leather and chain. Though your supplies are limited, you find your fathers old sword, supposedly blessed against evil. It burns when you try to pick it up. You then grab gloves of leather as well, and pick up your fathers sword, sheath it, and grab the shield.
You then begin your journey, to the castle of the King. Unknown to you, the kings seer sees your approach, and relays to the king that a creature of terrible power and evil is coming to slay him, and rape his new mistress. The King orders his wizard and soldiers to prevent this creature from getting in. But the wizard has his own ideas. He uses his craft, and along with the seer casts spells both holy and demonic upon all in the castle. Save of course beautiful Ambrosia, and the senile old queen. The seer covets Ambrosia for his own, and locks her in his room at her refusal to comply. Then he joins the wizard in preparing your welcoming party.
And so it begins
Oh, and please state what your skills are insofar as game design go. Any comments appreciated, criticisms accepted and will be considered. Any ideas you have, as long as you're willing to give them freely, or eventually join the project, will be yours to give or contribute. I'm thinking of a team of about 6-7 people, maybe more or less depending on ability, and their ability to contribute to the project.
Note: I am also open to this being a 2D Platformer with sprites. It all depends on the interest I get in it.
PS: reason I'm putting this up here is because I think it'd be awesome if women in this game were more...correctly represented. (ie bbws, plumpers, ssbbws, and other such well rounded women ) I also want to represent men the same way.
More later, and hope to hear from some peoples
