Game Development Team (Thread 2)

Hey....uh just thinkin' here, if you're gonna have an army in the game, how about the army be called the U.M. (United Militia)? Dunno if you need it or not....but yeah. lol

Like I've said before any input is appreciated. That could be a good name because the soldiers that hunt Jason down, through-out the game, aren't sent from a good guy. And because Jason has amnesia, so do I. I have to write his story while I write the script.

One thing that is a problem for me is I don't have internet access at my house. I have to use my aunts computer to do anything. And to make things worse, my D: drive doesn't work so I can't take any of your things and burn it on a cd. BUT! Not to worry. In two weeks I will have a CD-RW so I can transfer all my current work to a zip file and put it up here. But, I don't know if Zelaron can handle large files until we get a website up. Speaking of which who is supposed to do that. I can't remember who.

Another thing.
I have composed Jason's theme song with two other versions. It's kewl.

Draco, I would like it to be anime style please. RPG's are a Japanese thing, mainly, and I would like to keep it to that style.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About replay value.
I want the game to be something that you could never get tired of. Maybe because of the story, or how the game plays. Mini-games are another way of increasing the playablility.
Also, with the thought of mini-games, what ideas does anyone have?

I thought about other games where you do simple things, like in Ara Fell(you can find it at GamingW.net) where you catch apples that a girl throws down.
Just simple things like that would be interesting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Game Name!

Well after a breif consultment with the other writer of the game, Justin, who I will introduce to Zelaron later, I have decided to name the game(based on the language made for the game) Tales of Enilurâlor. At least I think that is how it is spelled. Again, like I said before I am not at my house to check how to spell it.

One problem with the RM2K3 font is that it doesn't include letters like é è ê ë
and others. Those are very important letters in Mésu, which is pronounced May-su because of the acute of the E. This give it a distinct pronounciation so it will not be said mee-suu. Which is a whole other word.

The word Enilurâlor really two words in english, meaning gods something. Again, again, like I said before I am not at my house to check what it means.

Oh well, I'll go home and write more now. Mésu was originally developed for a book which got all the way to chapter three, but was cancelled because I got bored of it. Lenny, I might send it to you just so you can read it. It, in my opinion is really good.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One question to everyone on our team.

Will you stay on throughout the production of this project, and will you stay true to what you say you will do. So far everyone we have is a very vital person to the team. And without all of you BladeStar Productions isn't worth anything. Games like the Legion Saga series was made by one person. If one person could do so well... why can't a group do better?

I have to write his story while I write the script.

I don't know if it helps, but I've kinda already got Jason's story planned out in my head...

Also about the army...one of the little scenes I've got playing in my head is Jason's mind being "awoken". He is taken by an oracle guy, they (the little quest group) meet earlier on, who is with the army fighting etc. Anywho, he takes Jason to his tent, and awakes his mind, which triggersoff Jason's "war machine" ability, causing him to wipe out the whole army camped there...the magic spreads over a 5 or so mile radius, nearly killing the rest of the hroup, who only escape it by goign underwater...anywho, I associate this scene with the end of the game, and the last thing is that the group goes back and finds Jason in a very very big crater left by his destrcutive magic, and they have to fight him, and maybe, I don't have a clue if it will be allowed or not, end up killing him...and the game ending in a cutscene where Jason finds control of his powers etc, and comes to his senses long enough for a tearjerking scene with Emilia crying over him, before finally dieing...

I've just noticed, I type too much...

I don't know if it helps, but I've kinda already got Jason's story planned out in my head...

I like the way you wrote his story out already. I will take it and fuse it with mine soon as I start writing 'mo.

About writing, we have a new writer, instead of my friend. She is my cousin and she enjoys writing about blood and other killing activities... scary.

I signed her up and she should be on zelaron soon.

I signed her up and she should be on zelaron soon.

Um, I just got signed up and from what I hear I'm the third writer.

We (as in Wed-G and I) will take Lenny's approach to describe the main character. We want to make him as heroically evil as possible. We want him to be able to become the strongest character(in the end) possible.

...and she enjoys writing about blood and other killing activities... scary.

Nothing wrong with that...now gory scenes can feature...no??

----------

Heroically evil...that's good...there's more leeway on his actions now...heroic actions...yet with evil consequences...this should be fun!

----------

I've been writing some more...once I've got my computer up and running again, I'll upload what I've written so far...and hope that it fits in with your script...

----------

Also, Jason's story...I'll type that up for you as well...see what you can salvage from it...and add it in to your story...

Ive reviewed what you guys have said over the past days about the story creation and. You guys shouldnt apply your ideas to the story until you have enough ideas to potray the story effective enough. I'll start on some battlesets, cutscenes pics and stuff soon, since ive seen what the characters will look like i might change the colors of the clothes though.
v_v

Ideas So Far:
he is tended by a woman, who will later join his party
the man is found outside the town by the night guards. They bring
him in
Jason(suprisingly, Lenny) wakes up on a beach.
He walks through the tropical forest and comes upon the village of (?)
where he meets Emilia.
mystic quest, save world, your usual RPG
Many minigames
Character names and Profies
Jason
Jason is the one with the hidden past(partly because of the amnesia.)
Emilia(RTP Name :>)
Emilia secretly likes Jason and tries to help him everyway she can. Especially in the intro/scene 1 after Emilia finds Jason she takes him back to her house. In scene 2, soldiers come in the middle of the night showing her a picture of Jason and ask if she had seen him. She says no and they leave. The next day she tells her mother and she throws a fit and wants him out. He has not yet recovered and Emilia trys to reason with her mom. I'll tell more later. I have to go.
Since Harris doesnt like Emilia it would spice up the story if she liked him
Harris(?)
Harris is the strong bad-ass(sort of like Auron. He actually doesn't like the girl, but good idea.)
Leroness
+ others (You name) (We should only have four heroes)
(New Hero)
(If its male)
Owes Jason his life but hes a pure asshole and it shows
(If Its female)
Is a secret lover of the master villians right hand man. We know what her plans are no explination...
Story So far:
Jason wakes up on a beach with amnesia. After the beach he arrives at a town ( Kato?] ......( dont know what happens here)...... he is found on a street by Emilia's lil brother who is a town gaurd. He takes him to their house and she tends him till hes better. During this time she falls inlove with him. ....(future dont know) (how they meet Harris and new player is unknown)

Ive been thinkin about the story and I think that should happen after awhile like
(Jason is fighting in a battle for a seperate country then where his adventure will take place. )
After the battle the soldiers go back to the town and Jason goes home and goes strait to sleep. When he wakes up the next one he imediately gets an assignment. He has to go on a ship and sail to another town, to take them from the sea while some others will take them from the ground. While on sea a few days pass and he runs into an ambush. (Me and the animator show a cut scene where jason goes to help out and then it goes blank or somethin and he wakes up on beach) WHile on the beach he doesnt remeber any of the past events. He gets into a battle and then the monsters take somethin of his runs into the woods. from the woods he follows and then he gets jacked of most of his valuables that wasnt wiped away at sea, and is nearly killed. They leave him there and he is found the next day by Leone... Emalias lil brother. Leone takes him to his house and clothes him and his sister tends to his wounds. He wakes up and tries to move but emalia tells him he is wounded and tells him everything she knows between the time her brother found her and the time he has been there. A day passes and then the town is attacked , this is when he find out that the country is is being invaded by an evil guy with an army and a hunger for power. He is still wounded but he still goes out to fight for them Emilia tries to stop him but comes with him because she knows he wont listen. After the town is nearly half destroy but defended they return to emelias and go to sleep. THey wake up the next mourning and Emilia realizes her brother never came home. They go out to find him but hes already dead when they find him..

Wow, so many changes to the story, I kinda don't wanna throw in anymore ideas.

Okay I will:

He is apart of another army, but feels that the (highest ranking officer) is just attacking villages because it makes him feel powerful. He discovers this to be true, and tries to tell the rest of his squad/platoon. They, very loyal soldiers, think he (the main character) is trying to take over the army. The hero and a few friends decide to leave, but the general dude tries to kill them. There are 6 escapees, ony 4 make it to the ship, which they steal from the lower, weaker soldiers cleaning it. They leave the island/continent/city and just sail in whichever way the wind blows. After a few weeks, they get caught in a massive hurricane/typhoon storm and one of the escapees falls over board and drowns. The last three manage to survive the storm, but, encounter a large sea creature. The creature is defeated, with no casualties, but as it goes under, its undertow is too strong for the ship. The last thing the player sees is the ship go under, and the screen fades to black. When the hero awakens on the beach, he realizes he has massive gashes, and a piece of wood sticking out of his side. he can't find his fellow soldiers, so he decides to head inland. He gets to the outskirts of the city, and faints.

Then the Soldiers are searching for a criminal that has just broken out of prison, and they search pretty far. The criminal sees your body, and takes your clothes, weapons, armor, items and gold. He scampers away, and about 10 minutes later, the guards come across your stripped body, and see you are greatly injured. The girl's brother, a very caring soul even though he is a soldier, decides to take you in, regardless of your background. You are taken to his house, where the city healer has you under a restraint spell, and the soldiers pull the wood out of you. You wake up screaming, and try to get out of bed, but you are still too weak, and you fall over and slowly lose consiousness. The city healer heals you and puts bandages with a special ointment to cure the scars. After many days (about 8-14) you awaken, and meet your caretaker, the soldier's sister. The hero just stares at her, and then closes his eyes again. Then another week or so passes and you wake up, and don't remember who you are, actually you don't remember anything before now. The village takes you in, and you become a normal townsfolk person. 4 months pass, and you hear shouting outside your house. You go outside to see what happened, and you see a familiar emblem on a heavily-armored soldier, picking on a friend of yours. But, you aren't angry at the fact your friend is getting pushed around, your a enraged at the emblem, and you don't even know why. You grab the nearest sword and attack full force. (Insert battle). After the battle ends, your character continues to slash and stab and cut up the soldier. Your caretaker stops you, and, since you are covered in blood, she takes you to get cleaned up. There, she tells you of how her brother came across your body, and everything else they know about. You tell her you don't remember anything, but the emblem on that soldiers armor made you go berserk. After the bath, she takes you on a stroll of the beach, and you come across one of your fellow escapees. He is dead, but the armor is made from a very durable mineral, so you take it, even though it is very beat up. This information seems to be easy for you to notice, but your caretaker explains she has never seen the mineral, or armor design anywhere before.

Characters
Hero: Jason
Caretaker: Emilia
Caretaker's brother: Leone

I know one escapee wasn't accounted for, but that's because he was found and taken back to the place where you escaped from. He is the one that the new hero(female) would have the crush on. Although, this is just a thought, and no one cares about the animator, so just read and enjoy.

STOP THE PRESSES!!! URGENT DISCOVERY!!!! WE NEED TO DISCUSS THIS RIGHT NOW!!! Okay, not really, but at least I got your attention. What about the Box Art and Instruction Booklet layout? (for mass production purposes). We at least need a picture to represent our game on the innternet, not a screen shot. That would be so pimp. And I have noticed, that no one has given any alterations to my story, or said anything so I take it everyone agrees on the intro? Sorry it was long, just got carried away.

Flash Forward to Mid-Story:
Jason, Emilia, and (temporary party member) are searching the continent for scrolls/parchment/stone tablets or some other special artifact, when they come across your lost shipmate. He, unlike you, remembers everything (a little differently, because of the brain washing) and tries to kill you. Your party fights back (obviously) and starts to win. (shipmate) is amazed at your strength, and flees. Your team decides to chase him, and your temporary party member is the first to find him. (at this point game play changes to that of the temp. member) You fight against (shipmate) and lose. He kills you in a very evil and gory way, and leaves your body parts spread out across the floor. He laughs and flees again. (control goes back to your party) Then Jason and Emilia come across his mangled body, and you don't know what it is. Jason realizes it and jumps back, and starts to gag. Emilia, still in the dark about the object, looks at it. She leans over to get a closer look and sees your partners face in a pool of blood. She immediately jumps back and screams so loud (birds eye view of location, birds fly from trees) She can't stand up, but inches away, still shocked at the sight.

Characters:
original heros=Jason, Emilia
Shipmate=(he needs a name)
Temporary Teammate=(needs a name)

I am terrible at coming up with names. Hope you enjoy! PEACE!

I like everyones story's. Now I have to print them off and go recreate them in script format. They are better.

I composed two songs for the game, but they aren't with me so...
One is Jason's theme (3 versions of it)
and the othe is the title screen music. WHOOHOO!
