i have a small dilema near the start of my game

[tgman]

right im not new to game making but im not an expert either but ive got to a point near to the start but i can't work out how i could advance the storyline without making it to crappy or whatsoever but any suggestions are welcome.
here is my game so far it is basically set in a medieval Japan and the story follows Two Soldiers in the japanese army PVT Azari and General Uresa it starts with azari after the war reminising the war these scenes are three months earlier about a week before the war ended he is sent to dispatch a squad of thugs in a nearby shrine you go ton to kill the thugs and thats where i am.
but the PROBLEM is with my writing i have just got to a point in the plot where i can not decide how to advance the storyline it stops after a boss fight and if you play through the game so far that is downloadable below you can play it up to that point and tell me how i could improve it and advance on that point here is a DL:

wow...that was one of the worst posts ever....you can't work out how to advance the storyline....and you want us to help....we have no idea what your story is. Give us some details. And actually make a good post...

Send two orcs into the room with crossbows.

...No? Well, you aren't Raymond Chandler, then.

But if you want a serious suggestion, that suits your game, then you need to give us more information.

As it is, I have no idea if you want writing advice, or if you're saying that your game freezes, or what.

Please post a more detail description of your game. At this point I do not see how anyone could help you.

 

[tgman]

I haven't tried it yet, but you said

"the storyline it stops after a boss fight and if you play through the game so far that is downloadable below you can play it up to that point andtell me how i could improve it and advance on that point here"

Are you just making your storyline up as you go along ? Or can you tell us something that happens after the boss fight, and we could help transition the boss fight into that part.

you kill the boss and report back to the general that is literaly where it stops in my game and no I have back stories and how the war started and stuff but i'm jusy having like some kind of writers block at the moment :

And whats supposed to happen after you kill the boss and talk to the general ? You can't have just stopped the storyline there, and expect other people to make the rest up for you, tell us an event that happens AFTER talking to the General...

ok this isnt in the game yet but you are told to get ready for battle in the next day and you go to sleep and i am not asking you to make it up for me i just need some kind of nudge in a good direction or tips for progressing on the storyline but should i write out my whole storyline and whats going to happen first and then make a game while editing the ideas as i go through or something like that?

So you need us to help fill in the spot between talking to the general after killing the boss, and waking up the next day and going to a battle ?

Sorry for this late reply, was watching Family Guy,

How about, to celebrate killing the boss, your character along with the General and other soliders, have some drinking games, and a minigame starts, not sure what, but somehow related to drinking maybe, or you get into a scuff with some of the other soldiers, after that, you see your character laid out on the floor, the screen fades to black and says "The Following morning", it fades back in and your character awakens, and someone runs into the pub or bar, wherever you are, and says your late for the battle, and from there you have to make your way to the battle ?
