I've gotten about half way with the story so far, and have finished the animations for the main character battling, and I also have made 3 special attacks for him so far. Now I'm just working on the storyline and am about 1/2 of the way through with it (over 10 pages right now). I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas I could put into the game.
Right now, it's you basic FF layout, because I'm making the game with RPG Maker 2003. Though the game is mixed with a Metal Gear govt. conspiracy kind of element also. There's more to it than that, but that's just to get thinking on the right path.
Ok, since it would be hard to connect ideas to the story, I'll give you guys the basic start of it, without actually giving away all the surprises.
The world is a simple place, there is no technology, there is no cars or microwaves...The life could simply be described as simple. Beyond this simplicity lies a shaded world of technology, and science, only kept secret by the Govt. and other agencies.
As our young protagonist, Vince, is out in the vast fields of (unamed country), he is enjoying the quite stillness of the wilderness. Vince sits patiently, waiting with his still finger on the trigger. A seemingly hopeless rabbit hops into his deadly path, not even thinking for a second, Vince pulls the trigger and the life that was, is now no more. Vince walks up to his hunted prey, with it's head mangled from the power of the bullet. Vince hear's a voice off to the distance, coming from his home village, Estigona.
Vince turns around to see who the voice is coming from, as he spots a dark figure running towards him shouting, he notices that it's his father. Hi father is waving his hands in the air in panic; as Vinces father nears, Vince spots a red light shining down at his father's back. Vince looks up in the guard tower of Estigona and sees man with what appears to be a sniper rifle. Vince shouts, "DAD! Look out!" right then the shot is fired, the bullet ripples through the air as his dad has almost reached his son; The bullet connects to the back of the father's head with a skull shattering chrunching sound. Vince catches his dad as he falls into his son's arms, the Sniper (Sin), readies his next deadly shot, but to his surprise Vince has picked up his weapon.
Sin watches through his scope as Vince takes his own hunting rifle to his head. Vince head is sweating and he doesn't know what to do, the pain is too much, his dad was all he had left in the world. Vince waits with extreme sadness and anger, all mixed together at the same time; he squeezes the trigger, but then eases off, stopping to think. Vince let's out a burst of anger and pulls the trigger; all that is heard is a gunshot, time stops, everything goes blank, the only things Vince can see are his past flying by him. With his dad, his diceaste mother, his brother, every great moment in his life flies by him at that moment.
Right then, he wakes up. He seems to be in his own house again, but he doesn't know why. He looks around to see a girl (Jaina) staring over at him from across the bed....She wants to know more about him, but the more she asks, the closer she gets to reminding Vince about his dad. He asks Jaina how long he's been in a coma state; when she told him he had only been out for one day, he knew what he had to do. His brother's life was still at stake, he had to go to his brother to warn him, to protect him, for that was truely all he had left in the world. After spotting his gun on the floor, Vince jumps out of bed and grabs it. He doesn't want to hold this girl against her will, but he fires off some shots next to her head to show her he means bussiness. Then he walks out the door, on his way to warn his brother........
Ok, that's not how I wrote the story in my story I'm writing now, but I thought you'd all enjoy an intensified narrative of the begining of the story. Please, I only ask of one thing when given ideas, don't give ideas on the storyline, you'll probably be waisting your time there, my story is so seemless and awesome right now that the probablility of me changing it is very slim. That piece there does not represent the true depth of the story at all. It's just there to give you guys a little more of what you wanted, "Something to relate our ideas too".
If you guys need more, just ask, I'll do anything for ya.
Ideas wanted list:
*Good names for people in an RPG (any kind of person name you want)
*Ideas for attacks and magic attacks
*different kinds of puzzles that could be solved in the game
*any innovative features of the game
*drawn sprites for the game are welcome (character animations only please)
*mini games to have in the game
*what the name of the game should be (you never know, maybe someone could give some nice suggestions)
*any good midi or MP3's you've found that would be good for any part in an RPG
