I think the factions should be centered around certain things that they do
Then I’d recommend getting hold of a copy and watching it. Twice! First time is wow! Second time is WOW!
Basketball… Chess… I don’t want to have factions based on race.
Not like that like one deals in smuggling more than others and another could deal in “accidental deaths” more and etc
Or perhaps, based on personality.
And no, definitely don’t do race factions.
Faction suggestions.
Faction one: consists of the old school criminals those that have been there the longest. Are the most powerful of the factions, they are on good terms with the guards having been there since the beginning.
Faction two: the modern day criminals, they are antagonistic against the other factions believing they should be more respected.
Faction three: the new blood, this faction has been transferred to the prison recently (perhaps the same time as the PC) they are currently the weakest of the factions.
Maybe even let the PC start their own faction.
Yeah and if the pc starts its own faction u could try to get on good terms with one or all of the factions
Or they could try to take over another faction
For some reason, I’m thinking about Jailhouse Rock and am gushing at the thought of a gang run by an Elvis impersonator. And they’ll sing and dance too.
But I doubt that’s what you’re going for. Damn.
This game looks cool. As long as you confine the gender-specific scenes purely to matters of actual physiology then I see no reason for classic horror film scores in this thread. Of course if you involve stereotypes or bigotry, that’s a whole other matter.
@Canisa Classic horror film scores?
@ScarletGeisha I was referring to Reaperoa’s earlier comment about playing the ‘Jaws’ theme after Andy mentioned that certain paths would only be available to certain genders; indeed, I would have gotten angry about it but Andy’s later comment giving the example of a pregnant inmate seems to imply that these paths will be to do with the biology of the relevant genders, rather than stereotypes or bigotry.
I like @NocturnalStillness’s ideas for faction 1 and 2. I have an older character in the game who would fit well with faction 1.
Faction 3, I may even take @ScarletGeisha’s idea of an Elvis impersonator for the leader of faction 3. A slightly crazy group of thugs, definitely violent and unpredictable behaviour. I like it!
Any suggestions for names for the three factions? Characters within them (I think 4 main members per gang is more than enough, coding-wise)
@Blackheart, I’m afraid you won’t be able to create your own gang as that would be too much coding (the gangs are only a part of the full game!). However, you WILL be able to lead your gang in the future!
@Canisa Gender differences will be minimal. Don’t worry about that.
How about “Root” for faction 1 as they believe they are the foundation of the prison?
Roots for one clan, the Rockers for a second (they like rock music and hitting people with rocks??)
Any ideas for the third?
Maybe a mafia style group?
That would fit @Reaperoa. They could be the gang who you go to to ‘fix’ a ‘problem’.
That’s because they are Family.
…and that will be the name of the gang. Family.
Okay, so the factions are sorted. I need more ideas for tasks between gangs. I need as many ideas as possible as there will be a lot to do in this game!
Each faction will have a leader (not you to begin with at least) and 3 other figures who you will converse with. (details of which to be decided). The tasks can be issued by any of these members and can vary from personal favours to inter-faction disputes.
More good ideas aurumcelest. I will try to fit all of these ideas into the game along with any others people come up with.
