True Futures

Another_title_concept_by_Cherriesofheaven.jpg

This project is inspired by chrono trigger and the world ends with you. I plan to have comic cutscenes with sound affects and music, and want to make a completely original production.

story-1.png

After the evolution of man's technology advanced in the near future, certain procedures are needed to be taken in order to maintain the balance of time. The organisation that carries this out is called T.E.M.P.S, and the people who do the dirty work for this cooperation are called Managers. It's up to the managers to eradicate any disturbances in time caused by time warping and keep the balance...But is this in itself disturbing time?

Raine, and her partner Allan are part of T.E.M.P.S as managers, however, after they destroy a disturbance in time, something important dissipates in the future. They are blamed for it due to their presence in that timeline. But was it their fault or someone else's? Raine, determined to clear her image goes back to try and investigate what happened, and so starts her adventure through time.

Little trivia: Temps is time in french, alas the name :)



Characters.jpg

Raine: A Manager with an hotheaded demeanor. She knows how to use charm to her advantage, but has a much more childish personality than she lets people onto. The only person to make her crack is usually Allan, her partner, with his annoyingly aloof personality. She loves cigarettes, much to Allan's dismay.

Allan: Raine's partner. He has an aloof and "cool" demeanor which his uses to his advantage to annoy Raine, he also has a very childish personality in reality, and sometimes goes out of character, scaring his acquaintances and strangers. It, however, takes a lot to boil his stack.

Lucca: A Celtic girl with an adorably sweet personality. She doesn't know it, but every time she experiences something annoying, or something that makes her jealous, she turns into "Rucca", a sadistic split personality with a witty and wild sense of humor.

Palani: A Hawaiian boy with a carefree personality who often says what he thinks, even if he doesn't want to. He loves to dance in public, often annoying Raine to no end.

progress:
Tilesets- in progress
Character sprites- in progress
Story- almost finished, ironing out all the holes.
Main characters: A little room for improvement but otherwise complete.
 
In order to post your project in this forum, you need to have story description (three sentences is not a paragraph) and screenshots, preferably character descriptions and gameplay information as well. Please refer to the rules. Your first post says under construction, which implies you're still adding stuff, but it's been a couple hours. In the future, please don't post a thread until you have all the content ready!

I'm gonna lock this, but feel free to PM me or another mod once you have enough content, and we'll unlock it. Don't post a new thread. Thanks!

EDIT: Okay, I see you added something right before I locked the thread, so I guess I'll unlock it for now under the assumption that screenshots are coming. o.0 Locking it again if they're not up soon, though.

Haha, sorry about that :D earlier, I saw a movie, and then came back to add some stuff on. I don't have all the content yet though. I have a story, character designs, artwork and a few tilesets done but no actual screenshots of the game because I'm still making some of the resources. :blank: In my scatterbrainedness, I have forgotten to get everything ready before I post a topic, so if you want to lock the topic up until I get it together, that's okay :grin:
 
Why not just have it moved to concept development so that people (like me) can read the storyline and critique what you have thus far. Once you get screen shots, just move it back.

IDK, just a suggestion :biggrin:
 
ama55, yeah, that's what I'm gonna do. When I posted the first time, the entire thread consisted of three sentences of story, which wasn't even enough for a CD thread. However, that problem has been nicely rectified!

Exkimo_Kidd, once you have screenshots and have begun development in earnest, you can either make a new thread in PD to pimp your game and keep your CD thread for idea development, or you can add the screens here, report the thread, and ask for it to be moved. Good luck with your game! You know, it's kinda crazy. I had a couple named Alan and Raine in a thing I wrote once, and their personalities were vaguely similar to what you have here. o.0 I'm getting off-topic, though.

As soon as you said that, I was like "oh crap. That's exactly what I should have done!" oops XD :lol:

Thanks for the help! :grin:
And gosh! The exact names and personalities? Maybe I should tweak them a bit. :lol:
 
Hahaha, nah, there were very substantial differences. It was just an odd little coincidence that amused me, so I thought I'd share. By all means, stick with it. :3

I'm quite fond of time related subjects myself, as I tend to wander around my ideas during philosophy and other classes I have. The concept of the "time traveling police" and it's effects through time is quite sharp actually, as the usual "time moderator" subject is used almost always as a mean to keep time/history from going offtrack, so some change to that is always good.
As the game is based on time travel, you have A LOT of material to work on. You could range from the very beginning of time until it's own end in itself. Also, try to create a concept for time, and not just the thing that tells us when what happened.
The characters could use some more development, although I think it would be better to express it with actions, but you need at least a base of what is each character is like.
All in all this looks like a pretty good project, and if you need a hand with some concept development or some help with the events, just tell me and I'd gladly help you.
 
Hmm I like this. Even though i'm not a fan of modern - futuristic time travel stuff, I like the idea of these 2 couples, where one is mistaken for the other one.
I hope Raine and Allen are gonna be one of these couples who know what life is all about, like having their own apartment and no longer dealing with all these teenage issues. That would be something I would really look forward too, because you don't have characters like that in games often enough!
I hope you will give us more information for a deeper insight soon xD

Thanks for your advice! I'll try to change the time/history thing a little bit :)

Gosh, I'm either crazy...Or REALLY crazy because I'm going to make all the material. I was thinking about the future being transparent flooring showing the sky underneath with floating skyscrapers or something like that :biggrin:
I'm going to have flashbacks throught the game to show how Raine and Allan became managers and how their personalities have evolved since then. Hopefully they don't turn out as mary sues if I do it right :haha: But right now, I have a simple understanding of what I want the characters to show and acomplish. And thanks thanks for the offering of help! I'll take it up if I need it (which I probably will! :haha:)

Thanks! I really want Allan and Raine to come out original and different to the stereotypical rpg teenager.
I want them to be independent, with faults that bring them down, but with positive qualities as well. Raine will most likely be very assertive and hotblooded, while Allan will be aloof and straightlaced while others are around. I don't want them to be shy and ditzy. :haha:
And I will try to give you more information soon :) So thanks! :thumb:
