Ultima VeritÃÂ

[SakuraPhoenix]

Here's an idea, use or disreguard it ^^

Sometimes when perhaps a civilization has developed an intense need for a particular thing, they bi pass all else. A "need" to beat the Russians in space, is what excellerated America's space program. The percieved "need" to do something about our environment/ politcs (whichever you think or both) has finally turned cogwheels and pushed for hybrid cars or those that use alternative fuels, wasn't THAT long ago when you wouldn't see so many "eco friendly" commercials or objects.

So war or threats that might wipe out life can cause for developers focus to shift from such "mundane" things as TV or Radios, maybe your world is going through one of 'em. Of course Steampunk ish such an interesting type of genre..

[When people need something really badly, they forget everything else]

[Back in the day when there was a Soviet Union, Russians built a rocket and sent it into space. The Americans couldn't have that since they considered the Russians an enemy, placed a LOT of money into a space program in order to win the space race to the moon. ]

something about our environment/ politcs (whichever you think or both) has finally turned cogwheels and pushed for
[the Earth can't handle all the bad gases/ global warming and government policy? caused people to want to make cars that use hydrogen, water, ethanol or something other than oil]

hybrid cars or those that use alternative fuels, wasn't THAT long ago when you wouldn't see so many "eco friendly" commercials or objects.
[eco Friendly= friendly to the enviornment or Earth]

[mundane= small not important stuff]

Okay thanks for the help, but I still cant argue with everyone else's logic.  Another idea down the drain I guess

 

[SakuraPhoenix]

noooooo... Don't give up. Just modify ever so slightly. As I said you could find a reason that would make slight sense. Like being in a war with an arms race to build a robot. And sense it's too hard and requires too much money, only a few would have them. All efforts in making other things have been suspended.

Nah, just incorporate some of the stuff that people have said. Make the robot steampunk-ish, and have their have been some sort of need for battle-ready robots. No need to scrap the whole thing, all you need to do is adjust it so that the people that will play the game will like it.

The thing I wonder is....why people wouldn't play a game just because the fact that there's robots and they MIGHT not have been able to make them. 

 

[SakuraPhoenix]

Ohhh here's another idea, its rather far fetched...

An alien crash landed and the people tried to duplicate the tech. Perhaps a mimic spell or something Of course the first few attempts would be DISASTEROUS. But it could also explain why you only have duplicates, if it is the beginning of the replication process. Eventually they'd learn to make other things from the crashed technology, but it'd be a couple of years down the line.

It's called 'suspension of disbelief', read up on it some time. It'll answer your question.

@ Kieara

Wow! How do come up with stuff like this off the top of your head?! It's amazing.

You win.  Thank you for that.

NP ^^

@luminer; I don't like deus ex machinas much. So I really think things as much in depth as to "Why are things this way or that way" or "How could this happen?" as much as possible. But they are unavoidable sometimes. (for example for the LIFE of me, I can't explain how my planet in my game exists out of all alternate dimensions, even knowing a bit about physics, and the like) Of course that means do a quite a bit of researching a lot of things..from laws of physics, to history, and social backgrounds to make sure you are making some sense, or at least let you BS enough that it makes sense.

Oh, and to whoever yelled at me for the name that has nothing to do with story, TAKE THAT! for sake of my Phoenix Wright fanhood. 

I completely changed the title so it inorporates story, and still sounds cool.

Wanna know what it means?  Hint: Google Translater.  yep.

To be fair, he never yelled at you about your title. he just said that it being made up of nonsense-words, and having nothing to do with the game was a bad idea. And it is.

I bet it means 'Very Ultimate'. Am I right? Hehe.

 

[SakuraPhoenix]

Not what I got ^^; Unless it isn't Italian>.<

Niiice. Improved title indeed ^^

Good try, but no.  lol

>_> Italian.  Google Translater.  The usual.  

 

[Luminier]

But I dun' wanna. Why don't you just tell us, bfore I find more stuff here to rant about.  :-X

 

[Roxas]

does it mean last truth? ^_^

 

[Xephyr]

It's coming along.  I re-did the intro (not the maps.  The starting map...I dont know what to do.  The inside tower is SUPPOSED to be empty, because its been empty for YEARS.

I even have nifty images for the opening credits.

kiearaphoenix is credited along with me for story ^_^
