Shifter: The Beginning

Well, since they are going to delete the Recruitment and Classifieds, I am moving my topic here.

Alright, I am in need of a team for my project, Shifter. I have finally gotten a story going for it, and I already have a fan for it, and that was the only person that read the story. I do not have the character bios complete quite yet because that is what I am working on, but here is what I have for you guys...trust me, the compact story-line will be just enough.


Genre: RPPG (Role-playing Puzzle Game)

Compact Story (Caution, Very Large)
Shifter: The Beginning

It was a medieval time of peace where man and creature could live in harmony together where there was no war, and times were evolving with the knowledge of mankind. This was a great time to be living in 2052; everything around the civilians was forests, and large, beautiful mountains. Animals roamed freely without the worry of humans trying to kill them. All animals were able to talk to the humans; they have developed the tongue of the human, and had the ability to move their mouths to form words of the English language. Everything was perfect until one man named, Heath, at the age of 23, decided to test his abilities in engineering. Heath decided that he would invent a machine that could send humans back to the past, just so he could see what the past was really like.
* * *
Four years later, Heath had come across a sheet of metal that was 4’x5’, he would be able to use on his machine that could teleport people back into the past. Heath took up the piece of metal, and ran back home to where he could layout the design of the machine. Heath did not have much time because of the patrol that came through every hour to make sure that everything was in order. Heath cut through the large forest behind his house to ensure that he made it home in time.
Heath went into the kitchen where he could lay out the documents and started working on them again. The chair that Heath was sitting in had a creaky leg on the left side to the back of the chair, and when he went to pull the seat up to the table, he jumped and knocked the ink jar that he set down to draw with, all over the design. Heath was devastated that he lost half of his work that took him 1 year to make. There was only one thing that Heath could do; he would have to remake the machine designs.
* * *
Three months later, Heath had an all-new design of the machine that he wanted to make. He named this machine, Shifter. He got the name from one of the legends that he heard of from his grandfather. His grandfather would always tell him about the stories of people who had animals that could take them anywhere that they have been too and anywhere that they know where it is exactly. Heath never really thought of these to be true, but he sure did think they were awesome. So, the first thing that Heath did with the design, was take it and get it sealed in plastic casing so he couldn’t spill anything on it. Then, Heath was off to his kitchen to start working on the machine.
* * *
Heath was displeased with the results of his machine, and decided to sell his machine to the corporation in the center of the continent, or Genetics Corporation (GC). GC took the machine and stored it away until further investigation of the machine. Its name stayed the same, and it was still known as, Shifter, but the GC modified a few things, and found out a way to use nanotechnology to put the energy of that machine into a chip that could be placed in the brain of a civilian, and allow that civilian to “Shiftâ€
 
I have moved this to project discussion since it had everything required to be there.  Recruitment is going to be deleted and I would like to remind everyone that you are not allowed to advertise in Early Project Development.  Project Discussion will be the only advertisement and promotional forum for unfinished games.
 
Well this doesn't look half bad. I'll be honest mate, I didn't read the story.
I doubt anyone will if it's that big. DEFINITELY change that. Apart from that, I did look at the screenshots and they look pretty cool, especially the town in sunset one. Brilliant, you know how to map a town.
Apart from that, good luck and try to shorten the story so, y'know, people (I) will read it.
