Setting:
Around
the late 21st century, human have already perfected electronic
implant technology which enhanced the human body and push ourselves to the
limit. Augmentation becomes a common part of the human body, and nearly
everyone is enhanced in some form or fashion (a mix of Deus Ex and Ghost in the Shell). The story takes place in
a small island where the city of Eisco and Tartarus are located. Eisco is built
on top of Tartarus covering its sky. While Eisco is prosperous and ordered,
Tartarus is poor and chaotic. The prologue will be mainly take place in
Tartarus.
Story:
In
a giant abandon complex, a police woman is chased by some unknown creatures.
They look like dry up human corpses with their augmented body parts exposed
from torn off body parts. Their augmentations seem to be still functional and
are probably what keep their bodies from decaying. She is running out of ammo and
could not reach anyone from her radio. Few days later, it is up Adeline, the
protagonist, to find her and figure out where did these creatures came from
(Yes, I know...... it is pretty much the same as resident evil, but we have
city exploration and side quests!).
Game style:
For those know never play RAGS game
before, it is basically a text adventure game with graphics. I want to create a
story focus adventure game with RPG elements, similar to the style of ADwR. In
other words, you will be playing a character with preset background and follow
her adventure (which is more like one big quest.....). There will be multiple approaches
in solving a quest, therefore, you can roleplay by player choice. For example, Adeline can solve the same problem by using her sexuality to her
advantage or outwit your opponents with her intelligence. While she is traveling between city zoons using the metro system, she could beat up the person who try to grope her or bear the unwelcome touch of a stranger to avoid making a big scene. Keep in mind that using sex to solve a problem usually has unpleasant consequence (lowering stat, bad endings, access to future scenes which will leads to more stat penalty and bad endings ....... usually
=D). That said, nearly all quest would involve fair amount of sexual content,
but you should be able to avoid all of them if you know what you are doing.
Combat:
You will randomly encounter enemies in
dangerous area while you travel from room to room. With limited resource such as
ammo and healing items, your best bet is to solve the quest with minimum player
movement, but there will be puzzle along the way that make you run around. It's
a bit like the traditional turn base RPG with a bit less flexibility (.......
this is my first game and I have to make the whole combat system all by myself >__<).
Graphics:
I don't know anything about 2D or 3D
graphic design, so all the images used in game are from the internet. Hopefully,
it won't get me into trouble. I do have limited photoshop knowledge, so there will
be some cutting and pasting and even boob reductions (it is hard for a girl to
look at all these hentai drawings with H-cup beauty queens
=_____="""). The characters of the game will be mainly base on video game and animation characters. For example, all the pictures of Adeline will be base on Ada Wong from Resident Evil.
ETA?
I can't be sure, since real life is
keep me very busy at the moment and wave of exams are coming in around Feb.
Nevertheless, it is not a long game, so I will at least post a working demo
which contains the first 30% - 40% of the game some time before April. It will be mainly about
Adeline investigating where did her friend went missing, so it is all about
city explorations and trying to get information from unwilling citizens.
