[We open in what looks like a picturesque terrace cafe. There is a wide sweeping panorama over the sea and lower sections of the city. All sickeningly twee and French in style, made slightly more nauseating by the faint background noise of accordions coming from a street performer's begging act. Carl, Abbey and Isabella are sat looking quite relaxed in this likely peaceful location and, in Isabella's case at the very least, looking a touch drunk. A pair of wine bottles form a sort of tower centre piece, surrounded by wine glass stains, cups and saucers and wine glasses- the remenants of a good few hours. William looks agitated.]
Abbey: Will calm down will you? [To Carl] I cannot believe you.
Carl: A bet is a bet. If he is uable to cope with the effects then that is his own foolish fault.
Isabella [Staring at the ground and absent mindedly playing with her hair]: What was it you took William?
William: Sodio-benza...Phenodihydro...
Carl: Oh stop talking please. He drank a Haffenreffer beer after having boiled it for an hour. It activates the psycoblin.
Abbey: Carl psycoblin is mushrooms, no way does a beer contain it.
Carl: Well that's true. Could have been the mushrooms I added to the mixture for half an hour. Beaumonde special variety- "The Embalmers".
Isabella [Shocked]: Carl! How could you? That's awful, poor Will!
William: Poor Will indeed! Drag him up to a shitty cafe why don't you!
[Carl leans back on his chair and stares upwards with a slight smile. Isabella is surprised Will managed to speak more than anything. We'll ignore Abbey for now- hey she isn't the most attractive of the pair and I have to visualize this whilst typing!]
William: I mean for fuck's sakes! [Picks bottles of the table] The least we could get are some decent condiments
Isabella[Puzzled]: I don't understand...What's wrong with salad dressing?
William: It's less the dressing and more the sweaty opening at the top. Look at the bastard...It looks like someone strapped a black condom over the top.
[Isabella looks slightly disgusted, Carl continues to grin like he is on all the medication at his local doctor's]
William: There is beauty in squalor, but only if you aren't blinded by the growths in the squalor first.
[William turns over to the balcony in a style not too dissimilar from the heroines in cheap fantasy films and cultured art pieces]
William: Hell is thought to be nothing more than a room with a chair in it...And this place has many chairs.
[From the current positioning Carl is now facing the opposite way to William, despite having not moved. His chair is still rocked back and he manages to swivel on one chair leg to face William's rear]
Carl: If you must steal, please be correct in your methodology and be a genius first. Dostoevsky cannot be bastardised like that
William: Oh for heavens sakes Carl, TS Elliot, really? Be a bit more creative next time.
[Carl conceded that point, stopped from continuing provoking a very high indvidual by Abbey choking on a badly timed gulp. There is a pause whilst William pats her on the back]
William: My point is. We live in Beaumonde. If this is not the most cultured place on this earth then I have been living a based my life on poor choices [Carl: Or maybe both?]. If we could get some money, we could renovate this place and have a tourist honeypot! I mean, the view at sunset!
Carl: But that's just it, we have no money. Those who do these things are loan hungry fools and queer-public school sorts, paid for by daddy. 
William: Yeah well, if my father was on this side of the country I'd be able to ask for a bit
Carl: If your father was my father you wouldn't get it

Yes I like to make my non-dialogue sections have some style to. I have to read this stuff repeatedly!

[JustinAC]

I'm thinking about putting a slight twist on all of the horror themed puzzle games that have been popping up recently.  I've always wanted to do an island survival game akin to survival kids for the GBC or Lost in Blue (1 and 2) for the DS.  The catch is, I hated how those games didn't really get into your head.  They were in depth enough, sure, with environmental interaction and different endings, but the whole point was to get off the island.  I thought of a bit of a clever twist on this formula involving some sort of backstory and some sort of scenes after the ending that will shock and surprise the player, so that the game isn't just a 'build a raft and get off the island'.

I want the game to use a real time system that reads your system clock to determine the time of day.  Obviously that will allow the player to play only during the day if they don't want to deal with the island at night time, but to compensate I plan to have certain events or objects only present during the night hours.  Eating, sleeping, and drinking will obviously be major and necessary.  I also don't want a single character.  My plan is to have different stranded individuals, probably three to four, that you can choose to control at any time by pressing a button to switch between them.  If you make these characters meet up with eachother on the island and interact with eachother, it can have positive or negative impact on your survival chances as well as the endings.

I'm looking for a thumbs up or a thumbs down on the idea in general.  I'll make a topic once I can scrounge together some more info and concept screenies.

 

[Actingman00]

Here's an idea for a game I though of at work.  I'm kind of tired right now and I don't think my writing is at my best lol. As well I don't have any city or country names yet.

Spoiler: History

Chasm History: At the dawn of Time there were two all-powerful beings, The God and The Demon Lord.  The God wanted The Creatures of *insert continent name here* to live in peace and to rule themselves whereas The Demon Lord wanted to rule over the Land and to dictate the people.  The God would not stand for this and thus a massive war broke out.  It went on for hundreds of years, nearly wiping out all of the races of *insert continent name here*.  But finally The God struck The Demon Lord into the ground, creating a massive Chasm in the ground.  The God used his abilities to stun the Demon Lord and keep him inside this chasm. This gave the Elves time to finish their Crystal Prison, which would hold the Demon Lord below ground fix the Chasm so he could never get out.  The Elves hid one of their four crystals in each country, but before they could activate them The Demon Lord let out a humongous burst of power that completely flipped the continent and mortally wounded the God.  The Elves turned the crystals on, but it was too late to save The God.  His last words were, “He will return…â€

Blah blah blah Demons blah blah blah war against evil blah blah blah magic blah blah blah destroyed village dribble drabble blah.

Sorry, but that's what I got reading the story. Try to come up with something not so overused such as "Fight against demon overlords".

I know it's a "little" overused, but I have some other ideas to make it better.

The Chasm is a major part of the game, so is the whole Adept thing.  The Fire/Water war plays a HUGE role in the whole thing too.

Possible titles
Digital Monster's World, The Electric Monsters, DigiMon Twilight World

History
A brother and sister were caught in an accident by a railway, where the sister was killed and the brother lost his right arm, the brother was 6 years old and the sister was 4. (I'll refer to the brother as Hiro to help the explanation, it won't be his final name)

The game takes place in 198x, 8 years after the accident where Hiro's younger sister was killed.
Hiro is in a history class at school learning about the modern day technology (Of 198x) and it's routes in history from the second world war, where the Atanasoff-Berry Computer was created, ABC for short, and the advances from then onwards to the creation of the Graphical User Interface, GUI for short, and how programmers are creating simulations, games and advance calculators on computers. Hiro finds shows little interest in the subject and starts messing around in the class, he is sent out by the teacher as a punishment and he stands in the corridor outside the room. He leans against the wall waiting to be called back into the class, but another student in the corridor walks past him, looks at the place where Hiro's arm should be and asks him if he is a monster (Bullying, not serious) Hiro is angered and jumps on the other student, trying to hurt him in the way school fights work. While he is on top of the other student trying to hurt him there is a flash and a loud bang like a giant hammer striking the floor, the student frees himself from Hiro and runs off, Hiro looks down and sees a hole in the floor like something large and heavy had hit it. Hiro thinks nothing of it, gets up and the school bell sounds, so Hiro goes back in the class room as his class mates leave it. In the room he picks up his bag and his books, he drops them, having only one arm, his teacher who was no longer angry tries to help him but Hiro gets angry, says he can do it himself and runs off leaving the teacher and the class room.

Hiro gets home eventually, his mother asks how has the day been, Hiro ignores her and goes into his bedroom, slamming the door. He lies on his bed and looks at a picture of his dead sister that he has and remembers the accident, he turns away from it and sleeps. He wakes at night time by a screeching noise and does not know what it was, he goes into his kitchen to find the source of the noise and sees a rectangular device with three buttons going up the side of it and a screen on it. Hiro looks at it in puzzlement and taps it, it stops making the noise, his mother walks in asking what was the noise, Hiro says it was nothing and his mother accepts this as she was tired and goes away and sleeps again. Hiro is still in the kitchen looking at the device, he presses one of the buttons and the screen lights up, he throws it down in shock and the light strengthens and he disappears, leaving the kitchen empty. His mother runs in to find Hiro gone.

Hiro wakes up and is in a large field, he turns around to be confronted by a small, black monster which says: Hello, my name is "Puni", a Puni type monster, who are you? Hiro is too shocked and then Puni replies: You are not a type of Monster I have seen before, you should meet "Old Man". Hiro is completely confused and then Puni bounces off (As it has no hands or feet) and says: Follow me! Hiro, not knowing what else to do, follows.

Hiro is taken to a village, made up of junk, the houses were made of corrugated iron sheets and wooden planks, he follows Puni into one of the houses, where there were many, different coloured monsters like Puni and in the middle steps forward a short monster shaped like a human, but holding a staff and had big grey hair and beard. He says to Hiro: I am Old Man, the Old Man type monster. Hiro shakily says his name and Old Man says: Hiro, it is you! You have finally arrived to the Digital side of mankind!
Hiro is clearly confused, so Old Man explains the nature of the world Hiro was in.
The world Hiro was from was known as the analogue world, where nothing was perfect, there were always errors and inaccuracy in natures design, where humans were born different to each other, this world is the digital world, where there was only the definite and everything was perfect. The DNA of the creatures was made up of binary, so there were no mistakes or variations between them, the creatures were called Digital Monsters. The Digital Monsters (DigiMon for short) were born out of scrap data when programs for computers were made, so was the Digital World, when a programmer creates a program that has scrap, unused data the unused data goes to the building of the Digital World, for everything created in the world has a purpose.

Old Man summoned Hiro using a Digital Device that Old Man had designed because a new type of DigiMon had been made and started to cause mayhem in the Digital World. In the 1980's the first computer virus was made and the mass amount of scrap data from them poured into the Digital World as Virus type DigiMon, which and strong against the Data type and start killing the other monsters. Old Man had been preparing for the new type of DigiMon since reports of a digital Virus in the early 1970s, so the Old Man picked Hiro for the task of helping the Digital World when Hiro was involved in the railway accident that killed his sister and took his arm. Old Man explains that the area where it happened had high Digital activity, and a gateway opened up between the analogue and digital worlds, Hiro's sister fell into it and Hiro's arms was halfway through trying to rescue her when the gate close on it, severing the limb. This meant Hiro's sister was alive in the Digital World, Old Man tells Hiro where his sister is, but makes Hiro agree to help them if they give him back his sister. Old Man says to Hiro that he cannot work well with one arm, and presents Hiro with a metal arm, that Old Man attached to Hiro, giving him a new arm. Old Man explains he was designing that for years, and tested it on Hiro recently when Hiro was in a corridor at his school, it caused a hole to be made in the corridor's floor and scared away another student. Hiro is all amazed and goes off to get his sister from another village up a mountain.

Hiro gets to the village, which is under attack by virus Digimon, called Nume monsters, Hiro teams up with a Digital Monster called Eleki, the Elec Monster, they both defeat the Nume monsters and rescue Hiro's sister, they go back to the village where Old Man was and he tells Hiro to be friends with Eleki and Eleki to help Hiro on his task. Hiro's sister does not know that Hiro is her brother, as time is slower in the Digital world, so Hiro's sister forgot her brother and grew up in the Digital world her whole life. Old Man confirms that Hiro is her brother and she helps on Hiro's new task too.

Game Play
If I make this game I will probably mix different RPG styles together. Have pet raising with Eleki who can die and start his evolutionary tree again from the Digitama and have ABS with Hiro's metal arm as a weapon and his sister with metal wings. I will also make it so you can switch between Hiro and his sister, so you have the powerful Hiro who breaks barriers in paths and the speedy sister who flies over obstacles, this opens up the possibility for puzzle elements in the game.
The HUD will be Hiro's Digital Device (Digivice) and will contain save options etc.
Battle system would be party ABS, so your pet DigiMon will attack on it's own depending on how well you raised it, and you control either Hiro or his sister, the one you don't control will also auto attack in battle, so if you control Hiro, his sister and your pet DigiMon will attack automatically.

Other stuff
You can probably guess this is a DigiMon game idea, the ending would be Hiro creating the first Vaccine DigiMon, so all types of DigiMon will be included, but not all DigiMon, you probably know that some DigiMon didn't exist until the Anime started, which is set in the 1990's.
This game also shows history of technology influencing the Digital world, a new approach on the idea of Digimon as it will start explaining a lot more and invent my own ideas of the history of the Digital world.
Oh yes, the names of the DigiMon, Hiro will dub the Digital Monsters as DigiMon for short, and he will refer to the monsters as mon's, so Puni would be Punimon or Eleki would be Elecmon. Old Man is actually Jijimon, Hiro will call him that later on in the game too.

Oh yeah, I might settle the title with DigiMon Twilight World as it is between the Digital World and the real world, called the analogue world in the Digital World and twilight is between night and day, also in some pagan cultures the twilight hours are when paths to other worlds are open, the fox represents twilight as it comes out in those times and some modern day pagans believe the fox holds the key to accessing other worlds. A fox would be the game's logo and probably the final boss.

I still don't know whether I should do this or not so the idea is here for feedback.

[nick5674398]

How about my new story, well it's the old one but rewritten and I'll say where the story starts and everything.
__________________________________________________________________
World story
In a world where six kingdoms ruled five continents peacefully, the thing they most dreaded looms itself over the western continent. The movement of the Engovion empire is revealed with the attack and siege of the city Kizere, it's known that no one got killed during the siege, but that Abalon should be on alert for any more moves against them, it could be a sighn of war. As the empire, Engova slowly changes more and more attacks have been made, with no pattern to be seen, king Roland of Abalon has resorted to sending out his personal scout team, they call themselves the seekers, with them sent to the mountains of Kizere they'll have to find the information behind these attacks.

Aiden's Story
Meanwhile....
On the way from the blacksmiths shop, Aiden finds an old man mugged by some thief, being the good guy that Aiden is he helps the old man get his gold back and put the thief in his place, a simple fight even with the little fighting that Aiden knew. The following night Aiden finds himself in some trouble, a by standing guard seen the fight between Aiden and the thief, and wants him to join them,
refusing, and with to many guards to fight off he's pulled away from his church home and taken to Kizere's jail stronghold atop the high mountain peak. He escapes soon after with the help from the ninja, Cyrus, he says he is a member of the seekers, but with no clue the ninja really is or what's going on they fight their way out of the stronghold. Then the adventure begun.
___________________________________________________________________________
Introduction
Well at the very beginning after a short text introduction similar to the one above you get teleported to a battle taking place in the wastelands it starts with a member of the seekers, Cyrus running up a mountain path being pursued by some soldiers and then he causes an avalanche causing the soldiers to not proceed up the mountain. so an action packed intro.

Then you get control of Cyrus, there is also a wounded guard up the path and if you find some bandages and heal him he joins you for a short time, so you fight some battles and on your way through the wastelands you choose to help one of two of the other members of the seekers in battle and they join you. So you then fight a mini boss and there is a cutscene after that, you see the big guy, he is a new general of Engovas army, so then you scatter and run away.

And it then teleports to Kizere, where Aiden is just leaving from the black smiths, you walk up the road and find the man mugged, so you help him, after that you can roam the city and start some mini quests for awhile, but the game reminds you that you should get to the church because it's late, then you know what happens after that from the story. after he escapes the stronghold and gets through the cave, Aiden ends up getting trained by one of the seekers since he is joining them, you pick your class and there is a different mini game for whatever class you pick, the mini game/puzzle is supposed to be training and, like for strength it would be a pushing boulders puzzle.
