The pitch is this: A game…like Choice of the Fae. You start off unconscious in a cell somewhere. You’re trying to remember who and what you are. some choices will be; Faerie, Brownie, Dwarf, Pixie, Gnome, and Royal Faerie. You go through pick your name and gender and those things. After remembering what you need, a hooded figure comes down and asks if you’re ready to talk. To which you think back to the last thing you remember. doing some activity (of your choice) and being dragged off somewhere, then questioned and tortured. But you know you have no clue as what they were demanding. You can choose; “I don’t know what you mean” “Release me now” (probably only if royal) or “Keep Quiet”
eventually someone will come down and offer you a chance to escape. you’ll choose to accept or not. eventually you’ll either die in the cell, or go out to get that information.
The programming isn’t too hard, the choicescript frame work deals with all complex stuff you just need to know some basic commands and indentation/layout rules.
I’d be happy to help code it if you want but you’ll need a full design first:
A summary of the plot, characters, every choice and direction (flowchart?), variable lists and stuff. Stats/attributes.
It might even help if you just wrote the whole thing first and then a coder can just copy and paste it in and around the commands.
I’d probably suggest you start off in a more interesting location as well, Prison cells don’t leave much to be desired!
Were you thinking modern day or medieval-fantasy-esque?
