A time wasters dream

[ozer]

Game I've been working on for about 2 years now, I don't have a full idea for a story just yet. But here are some screen shots. The one above is the title screen the background of the woods slowly scrolls while the leafs slowly blow...It's not fully finished but it's an idea of what I want it to look like.

Story
You are a no body who works in a small town that is run by thugs, thieves and killers. Although the rest of the town looks past all this and gets on with their life’s. You decide that you have had enough and you want to get out and go somewhere else to find a brighter future. After you try to talk your best friend into leaving with you, he tells you, you are crazy and he wants nothing to do with it. So you decide to leave by yourself.
Upon leaving the town you encounter much more than thieves and thugs. As you make your way through a dangerous forest, you encounter one of your worst nightmares, a man feared by everyone, who decides to challenge you to a battle. You have no choice but to accept, as he defeats you, he promises not to kill you, but instead kills your best friend right in front of your eyes.
As you lay stunned in the forest, a blurry figure by the name of “James” walks up to you and takes you to a safe place, and heals your wounds. James asks what happened to you, but you have no idea, after being hit so hard your memory was erased; the only thing you remember is a man by the name of “Julian floajan”.
James has no idea who the man is, but decides to help you find him. He takes you on an unforgettable journey, through places you would never dream of going to. As you reveal more and more of your identity you start to discover dark secrets about yourself, that lead to new clues as to who you really are.

Daniel doesn’t have many friends as he doesn’t like to socialize very much, nor does he like being around people. But he does love cats.
He drinks every day because it’s the only thing that he thinks will make him happy. Although drunk or sober Daniel is a really amazing cook, and hunter, he usually hunts for food if he has a bad week at work and can’t afford to buy food.

He lost his right eye 16 years ago in a freak accident. Upon losing an eye he also lost all his friends along with it.
At school he was bullied and named “The one eyed freak”. Losing an eye to some people would make them weak, but however for James it made him stronger. He would get into fights at school for people teasing him, but would win every single one.

Id suggest you add more than a single screenshot of the title screen if you dont want this thread getting locked.
The rule threads are your friends

Thank you, but next time let a moderator handle it. We know how to do our job.

As stated, take a gander at the Project Discussion rules and fill in what you're missing. A single screenshot of the title screen is far from enough. Making a thread prematurely (i.e. creating it and filling in the necessary information later) is also against the rules. You have 24 hours to add in the necessary information or I'll lock this topic.

Yeah sorry about that, i accidently pressed submit when i only had the title screen. So i was altering it.

Alright, good to go! :toot:

I have to say, I find it a bit weird that you're making a game without having much of an idea about the story. You may want to post even what you have, be it just a brainstorm, so we can comment on it.

Hmm the screenshots look good, and you have a good list of features. But i can't properly give you any critisim beacuse there's nothing else to comment on, no story, characters or anything like that.
I would sugest that you work on that area abit more so that other people have some thing to comment on, an mabye help you out.

So my only adfvise to you at this time is to try and get a story writen, even if its a small one. Then a couple of character bios.

if theres anything you need help with, like story or anything jsut PM me i'd be glad to help.

The mapping is pretty poor in my opinion. The cave is to square. nature is random, remember. For teh forest: don't use the canopy autotile and add more detail. The town looks pretty good though. You have some nice features, but a game without a story or characters, isn't a game. So post something plz. It doesn't have to be 10 pages long.

First of all thanks for the suggestions, Thats my problem i cant think of a good story, i have thought of loads but i always think they sound too cheesy or just bad so i start a new one any way here is the story im using now, it will probably change pretty soon.

You are a no body who works in a small town that is run by thugs, thieves and killers. Although the rest of the town looks past all this and gets on with their life’s. You decide that you have had enough and you want to get out and go somewhere else. After having your wallet stolen for the final time you quickly leave the town and most of your belongings behind. Upon leaving the town you encounter much more than thieves and thugs.

You have been working on this game for 2 years and do not have a story. I personally could not do that. Your maps look every nice. I can't say much because you lack an official story.
