Just a quickie…
So currently I am in the process of creating a choicescript with @Kelvin. In our game there will be a chance for you (The Main Character) to beat our crazy imaginary world. Sound great? We know. We are thinking about allowing the player to then go out and kill the other players ‘hunger-games style’ (maybe… not quite). Should the people be static? Meaning the person is the same person every time or should we randomize them? Allowing the person to be just a random NPC as well and just causing trouble for the player as they will be seen as a murder by others nearby. Up side is that it will make it more interesting but unfortunately will also make it more difficult to create a solid guide.
(What do you think?)
The Plot
Potential Spoilers…
The plot goes as follows; you have been selected at “random” from the population to participate in a government-run game show where you and four other candidates are placed in chairs and you are “hypnotized” and put through 4 different scenarios with another 4 candidates. Because you are not actually in the situation and it is just your brain, you are allowed to change gender, name, race or even species (depending upon the scenario) in each scenario. This may even be wise to do so as winning is based upon who lives the longest and some candidates might take a scorched earth strategy. Also injuries inflicted within a scenario is also inflicted upon the person within the ‘real realm’ so be careful with what you choose as it may leave you in a dodgy situation. Your relationships with the other candidates also effect how they interact with you in world and out of world, depending on their background it is possible that this may also lead them into doing things differently. The game will be won through points which will be earned by how successful one is in the said scenarios. At the end, the points will be viewed and the person with the most point is the obvious winner and the rest… well… they bite the dust. EVERY scenario matters. ALL pathways to success are eligible. Maybe be evil and sabotage the other candidates success? Or be a goody two-shoes and hope to try and get everyone on side? Or play the game as YOU would do if you was in our world.
The story will follow the following sequence:
Prelude (doesn’t change), randomize all scenarios
Scenario 1
Interlude (Slightly changes depending on pre-selections)
Scenario 2
Interlude (Slightly changes depending on pre-selections)
Scenario 3
Interlude (Slightly changes depending on pre-selections)
Scenario 4
Postlude (Slightly changes depending on pre-selections)
This version may have some parts that will not be in the final version;
The ability to choose to play individual games.
At the moment we have no difference in the scenarios depending on their order, but we plan to add technical changes which will vary depending on made choices.
We are planning on making more than 4 possible scenarios. We already have 3 scenarios started, not finished mind you, and ideas for more. Each scenario will last at least two chapters, most if not all, will be longer than two chapters. We also have very loose plans for a sequel.
~Please note some scenarios have been held back as they are in the editing stages (even through our editing there may still be mistakes!) and we hope to release new scenarios in the next update.
There ARE spelling and grammar errors, continuity errors and parts that just don’t make sense. We want to know all your thoughts on our game good and bad! Message one or both of us personally if you don’t want to post publicly.
This story is making use of @JLBH’s (aka @ImagineAWorldWhere) old wips. Some parts that need to be edited may not be edited yet and will seem out of place.
Note- We only plan on allowing the player to choose to play specific scenarios during testing. When released we plan to only have the option to play with randomized scenarios. We are undecided whether we will put in the option to allow the player to choose specific scenarios or not in the released version…
Q & A
Q: Are you looking for more game ideas?
A: Certainly, if you have an idea that we believe would fit into our game, with your permission, we would love to add another scenario. Please note; I keep a relatively close watch on the game idea thread on this forum, if it is on there I probably have read it already.
Q: Are you planning on allowing RO’s?
A: Yes, there will be opportunities in most if not all scenarios and in the real world.
Q: What is a scorched earth policy/strategy?
A: When you attempt to kill everyone, hoping that by doing so you eliminate some or all of your enemies.
Q: Will there be romance?
A: Yes there will certainly be a chance within certain scenarios. In world possibly. You will have to wait and see.
Q: How many scenarios will be made?
A: Welp. We don’t know. But certainly over five!
Q: Will all the scenarios be at a high quality?
A: We hope so. We go through a lot of vigorous testing and playthroughs to make sure that it is as enjoyable as possible.
Q: Have you guys wrote choicescripts before?
A: Yep. @ImagineAWorldWhere’s latest WIP is The Hypnotist and @Kelvin’s latest was The Legend Begins. However we have both dabbled at writing before. And we have decided to merge our ideas into one.
