Interest check in new game

I think something like mind control might be a little too powerful and hard to balance. The powers in this universe are more physical-ur, so things like mind control and Technopathy moght come in another form that isn’t exactly a power.

Similarly to what I said above, I might add an ability like that later in the game, as the powers are more supposed to be physical based.

No cats? We got a problem then.

So far as time period’s concerned, TMitF is always fun for a super hero game, but that’s also the setting of the Hero’s Rise Trilogy and my project, so you might consider present day for the sake of setting yourself apart somewhat.

Things to consider for the world: Is it our world exactly, or is it different in some way(s) beyond the existence of superhumans? If so, how? Is it a different world entirely? What is the current social attitude towards metas? What is the social climate like for minorities? For the poor? What’s the government like, and how do they rule?

As far as powers are concerned, how about super intelligence? Playing a mad scientist would be all kinds of fun.

What kinda tone are we talkin’ here? On a sliding scale with the Golden Age at one end and the Dark Age at the other, how grim are things (I know that’s not the best metaphor, but it’ll serve)?

Will there be romance?

All in all, I’m excited to see where this goes. Best of luck!

Sounds like an interesting premise. Why don’t you make a short example win ChoiceScript?

My best suggestion for writing a game is to make it small and mostly linear at first, only diverge into many paths at the end. Otherwise it just gets unmanageable.

I’m leaning on having it quite a bit into the future, where humanity has already colonised other worlds and are starting to build weaponised starships.

I’d say it’s different in the sense that it’s in the future, but as far as things like the rules of physics are concerned its pretty similar. However technology advanced ‘strangely’ cars are still in use (although allot slicker looking) whilst flying cars are also present (in richer areas).

The social attitude toward meta’s is a mixed bag, as you are one of the first few (with the first meta’s being more powerful than future meta’s). All are currently on the ‘good’ side of things (aside from you of course) but that’s subject to change. The worlds governments are obviously quite skeptical towards them, whilst everyday people tend to envy them.

At the time of the games beggining, social attitude towards minorities are much the same as they are today, and not many people are poor due to their being so many job opportunities (there being new planets and all). However the ones that are tend to be frowned upon as most people see them as lazy.

Well, the game starts in America so at the start of the game they seem to be a reasonable government, albeit with hidden agendas and brutal methods for those that get in their way.

That’s a pretty good suggestion

So far I guess you could say humanity is reaching the golden age, but your going to ruin that of course :wink:

Probably

Thanks bro, best of luck on yours as well!

Umm,I was thinking maybe telekinesis. XD

I might do that, and thanks for the suggestion,

I always like plant manipulation as a power.

Sorry for the confusion, the Golden Age & the Dark Age are two eras in comic publication. There’s a lot involved in what each represented, but basically, the Golden Age was upbeat & idealistic, while the Dark age was grim & cynical.

Thanks friend :smile:

Ohh, probably more towards the dark age then.

Dr. Claw (inspector gadget) had a cat.

I have been waiting for a super villain game plz let it happen!

I always lean for copy cat/absorbtion powers but that would be the same problem you want to avoid so… possession?

Possesion is too broad tbh, and it also goes against the whole universe having physical-ur based powers.

But not all possession is physical, I was thinking more like a puppet master, they have their minds but not their bodies.

All the best villains have cats. Blofeld, Dr Evil, Dr Claw, Gargamel, Team Rocket, Ozymandius. It’s such a villain thing.

I bet there’s even a tv tropes page.

The tvtropes page in question:

Fine, maybe I’ll add in a cat.

Yay :tada: (need more than 20 characters)

They’re probably the never be seen type of villain.

We need more villain games also what about star or blood manipulation as a power
