[edit]
sorry first post is very long winded basically this thread is me trying to figure out a title and story to my new game with you guys all posting in ideas. If you do not understand any of this then please look at neofish's post, about 6 posts down.
[/edit]

okay now i know on these forums we get alot of nombs coming and saying

I have made this wicked story for a game now can one of you programme it for me
"


but my problem is the other way around, i have made quite a cool game engine/demo if i do say so my self but i have no idea of story or title or anything. Does any one have any ideas at least i need a title and logo before i can release

any way here some info about it:
basically it started because i was bored with star wars and matrix games where you have all these powers but you can only use them in set ways so i tried to make a game where you can do stuff to everything, which is true apart for the level itself which is fixed anything else you can use your powers. Which are explosion(you can basically blow up stuff anywhere you want), freeze(freezes anything within a given place) and telekenisis. Oh and the aI is a basic form of MGS with patrol alert and alarm stages. oh also i will be releasing a level editor for the game.

cheers

I have no clue what you just said/tried to explain.

Please go into further detail and try to use some periods???

It's M-E-G-A-T-O-N. NOT MEGATRON.

megaton by periods do you mean times coz if so i havnt got any the AI shoots something but that could be a lazer gun or a bow and arrow.

any to make this request more simply can any think of a story for a game that involved the main character or characters (basically all playable character, you can have more than one its your story) have powers. Which the character use to get past guard, (by blowing them up or stealth) does that help?

No, I meant "periods" as in put peridos in your sentances.

e.g

Plugged went to the store[.] Plugged got a box of milk[.] Plugged was happy[.]

Interesting how you spelled "sentences" wrong while correcting his grammar.

Indeed, I couldn't understand was he was trying to say either.

I understood...he wants you to come up with an idea for a game that will fit his engine. It allows you to blow up anything that is not fixed (ie indestructible) using explosive, tele-kinisis and freezing powers.. The AI is a basic version of the Metal Gear Solid AI, in which there are patrolling and alert modes.

Note, he's fed up of Star Wars and Matrix games..


ok that was EASY! Come on, I know it was terribly written but even I got all that by skim reading! Are you blind?!

Thanks for the advise Raven, but come on guys is it that hard. okay heres one idea that i have been thinking over.

When you, the player, was young you were in the army. The army experimented on you an something went wrong. Since then random things have been flying,blowing up,freezing around you. Because of this the army sent you in to exliale, where you learnt to control your new power. But while this has been going on you have lost 25 years of your life. When you come back to your old home, with your powers under control, you find all your family have moved on without a trace and your friends have all forgotten you. You blame this lose on the army and so decide to exact your reveenege on the army, state and people who run the experiments.

hopefully this story will give the anti-hero affect because its the out law against the state.

okay theres an example please add idea to this, post new ideas and give crit to this one.

cheers

It's not bad, sounds like the standard kill anything that moves that's wearing green uniform game but I don't think he will come off as the anti-hero as he's lost his life and family etc: the Army are the evil ones.

Thanks for the crit, one thing i might do is as the engine is all most finish i might release it and see what you guys think. The level editor is finished as well. About the kill all thing, that would be great although i am worried whether the engine itself and the game play can handle it, i hope so i mean i played it to be able to but somethings just don't translate exactly from paper to gameplay and any hopefully will post it here in the next few days. ATM i am using the mslevel.x that comes with the .x collision code snippet. Hence the release of the level editor.

cheers

p.s. just a side point is it alright that the level editor needs to user to make the level model some where else, e.g. cart shop. The level editor just lets them place AIs, health, blocks and other things like that.
