Hey all,

I am making a new fpsc game, and I am pretty stumped on what to do for a story right now, I have a rough idea of it but it is still missing some chunks...

But before anyone asks about what happened to Revelation, I have totally abandoned X10 and switched to X9. I am going to totally remake the game when the migration comes out (story and all) and I assure you you will be suprised when you see it . I will postpone the development until the migration is released.

But anyway back on topic, the game I will be making will be titled "Lost Life". I am trying to make the story original but still have some of the traits of a "zombie" game. Anyway, here is the rough Idea I have going.

The story is set in the year 2152, Nexus Industries has just discovered the ability to create artificial life, via the "Quantum Gene", a type of synthetic body implant.

Then, Nexus Industries initiated Project D.A.W.N.

Project DAWN was an attempt to create a synthetic life form, that could sustain infinite life...

The life form was dubbed D.A.W.N.

The head of project Dawn was (insert name here). The project was completely undercover behind the government... Nexus Industries operated in areas that were in unknown space...

People who were working on the ship kept hearing strange things, and seeing things... people started getting ill... The head of the project started to go mad...

It wasnt long until bad things started to happen...

The quantum gene started to

The quantum gene was not fully understood. Soon, it started to transform into a parasite, and it broke loose on the ship.

testpersons, scientists, all of the workers, started to mutate...
The again yet to be named ship then crashed into an asteroid field, and was left abandoned for 60 years along with DAWN...

But one sliver of Quantum Gene was still left...

The infected quantum gene was later dubbed "The Quantum Virus"

forward 60 years...


You play as (yet to be named person).

You are aboard the (yet to be named "not abandoned" ship )

Your mission:

Board the abandoned ship and retrieve the last sliver of the clean Quantum Gene, and destroy DAWN...

When you are aboard the abandoned ship, you ecounter these sort of mutated workers and zombie like things, and the ship is infected with spores/zombie fauna because of the quantum virus, kind of similar to Dead Space. I think I will name dub the zombies "Ghosts" because thay have lost their life, and turned into souless things...

Thats all I have for now (phew...) Any suggestions/criticism? I am open to anything that you may have.

How about the November? It's what I used for my old game, The Jeiharra Chronicles.


I like your story in general though

I like the November name PWP... maybe I could call it like November IV or something like that, so it doesn't copy your game too much. I'll maybe look at other scifi ship names to get ideas.

Well i sense some dead space. Nice story story but it's pretty original. So many zombie infections have came from scientists. What if that comes with meteorite that landed on earth. (ok, crashed). Inside of it would be some space flys. Some evil professor founds them and sends them to kill people. But something went wrong and they didn't kill humans. They transformed into zombies. So objective is kill flys. (about 1m tall) and professor. There would be 10 flys and every of them is level boss. And level 11 boss would be prof. So...

Ship: Necronomicon (quick google will give you an answer to that )
Owned by: Earth Colony Black Projects Division
Task: To investigate old religions like occult etc. to gain a military advantage over the colonial wars.

You are a goverment operative working in security systems level 10. You are replacing a operative in a department you are not aware of, due to a sudden death of the employee you are replacing.

Your captain of your shuttle announces that the Necronomicon has lost control and no contact can be made. He will make a manual dock and the crew are to investigate. Upon landing in the docking bay, the crew leave. You sit there for two hours, being the only passenger on board apart from the crew wondering what is happening.

You decide to leave and investigate....

Well, I think I will keep most of my story the way it is, but

Quote: " What if that comes with meteorite that landed on earth"


I think I will keep my idea of the quantum gene transforming everybody, I kind of got that idea from wolf's game symbiotic (which I must say is a great game) but still I like that, I'll see... I think I like my old idea more though.

It's okay, I was thinking of callin the non abandoned ship the Infinity and the abandoned ship the November IV, because I think November sounds a bit more of an ominous name to me.

I will revise the story and post in a bit with less insert name heres... and such. I'm kind of nearing completing the storyline too and I'll probably post a wip thread by tommarow or so.

You're right, November IV does sound cool. Infinity sounds neat as well

I was also thinking of Maelstrom but meh, maybe a spatial anomaly or something with that name would be cool.

it should be the november iv, a infinity class cruzer ship thingy that would sound cool!

Who the hell is General Failure? And why is he trying to read my hard disk?

My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.

Ill actually revise the story tonight and post a wip thread tommarow with the new one, but in the meantime I still would like more ideas for it, there are still a couple small holes that need to be filled.

I think I'll keep them separet, but that sounds cool, i'll have to consider that.

Heh... I liked the November name so much I'm using it in my Fate demo. It'll be called 'Fate - Outpost November'. The second demo will be 'Fate - Outpost ______'.... Sorry for off-topic, just was surprised at how much I liked November again

Alright I guess i'll post the revised one here and make a wip thread tommerow because i just started making the first level and wont be able to finish it by today... so here it is.

The story is set in the year 2152, Nexus Industries has just discovered the ability to create artificial life, via the "Quantum Gene", a type of synthetic body implant.

Then, Nexus Industries initiated Project D.A.W.N.

Project DAWN was an attempt to create a synthetic life form, that could sustain infinite life...

The life form was dubbed D.A.W.N.

The head of project Dawn was (insert name here). The project was completely undercover behind the government... Nexus Industries operated in areas that were in unknown space...

People who were working on the November IV kept hearing strange things, and seeing things... people started getting ill... The head of the project started to go mad...

It wasnt long until bad things started to happen...

The quantum gene was not fully understood by scientists. Slowly, it started to transform into a parasite, and it started to have an effect on the workers, until it finally broke loose

testpersons, scientists, all of the workers, started to mutate...
The November IV lost control, and then crashed into an asteroid along the eastern fringe of an unknown star system, and was left abandoned for 70 years along with DAWN...

But one sliver of Quantum Gene was still left...

The infected quantum gene was later dubbed "The Quantum Virus" or Q-virus.

forward 70 years...


You play as (yet to be named person).

You are aboard the Infinity, a class II N.E.X. exploration ship
(N.E.X. stands for Nexus industries by the way)

the ship picks up a signal from the past still broadcasting from the November IV...apparently from a (now killed) survivor on the ship

the signal is traced back to the old ship and the coordinates are found, but the only way to get to it is to pass through the maelstrom, a deadly spatial anomaly in the outer reaches of null space...

When you are aboard the abandoned ship, you ecounter these sort of mutated workers and zombie like things, and the ship is infected with spores/zombie fauna because of the quantum virus, kind of similar to Dead Space. I think I will name dub the zombies "Ghosts" because thay have lost their life, and turned into souless things...




Things changed

Named the ships

added more on how the November is found

fixed some parts

not fixed parts:

still need to name main character

still need to name captain of the Infinity (not mentioned in the story)

Still need to name the head of project Dawn

next story should have everything in place...
