Title: VolKano-Temporary Name
Post by: neb87 on June 27, 2006, 05:20:31 PM

All I have so far is a plot.
-PLOT-
          You are part of an Explorer Organization (No Name Yet) that seeks to explore Volcanoes inside and out.  Your Team finds out that one of the oldest and biggest Volcanoes is inactive for an unknown reason.  So you and your team venture inside this volcano to investigate it. After about a week of searching you and your team find a building deep inside the volcano.  You find ancient secrets of a new power you have never seen before but something is lurking around.  You’re fellow Explorer’s start to disappear but you now it’s the work of some unknown beast of man.


-I Need Ideas what type of game this will be and what you will do?

The main cocept looks real cool.
It sounds like a horror type game.
Kinda reminds AVP though...
GL anyways :happy:

Never heard of a horror+volcanoe+RPG mix. Go for it!

Could we get more information on what you need?

It's obvious you need a name, but are you looking for things such as battle systems, character ideas, etc.?

I could assist in some ideas, if I know what idea's I'm thinking up?

You're the one whos going to put the work into making this game, so it should be up to you to decide.  ;)

Post by: Tomi on June 27, 2006, 08:23:05 PM

Wow, that's a pretty original idea.  You need a mini game where you have to run from lava by pressing two buttons really fast.  Those are the best. ;)

Post by: neb87 on June 28, 2006, 12:10:07 AM

I will make it have a lot of puzzles, there will not be that much battles untill later in the game.
I could use ideas for the names of places I have unamed.
What other features can it have besides puzzles, am haveing trouble thinking of some(maybe I will make it have like a destrutive environment, where you can use  tnt(or something) to blow holes in the wall to find new places.)

Well, if it's in a volcano temple...how about an excavation minigame? Maybe you could unlock new areas with it since there is a temple in there. The beast already makes it sound like a horror/mystery game.

For a name. I'm thinking something related to a volcano. Maybe the word Vulcan in the title?

I like this idea so far.

Title:
Post by: DragonBlaze on June 28, 2006, 02:11:22 AM

You could just name it Volcano. Short, simple, and to the point ;)

Or! Volkano! So origional!

Post by: drenrin2120 on June 28, 2006, 02:27:09 AM

This is a pretty cool idea. You should make the era futuristic/modern. Not many games are like that, it could be during an age where man is just beginning to venture out of the solar system. So there can be things like, ships and guns and interesting future weapons you can make up. And maybe the creature lurking about is from space? Or maybe it's just one of many below the surface or something. Working with futuristic crap opens a broad variety of original ideas. Mainly cuz it's a little unexplored in the RPG world.

That does sound like a good name.

Post by: neb87 on June 28, 2006, 02:46:57 AM

It will be set in the modern era, in the volcanoe Mauna Loa,
Possiable title name;Mauna Loa-The Expedition

You know, if you took Drens idea and made the volcano Olympus Mons on Mars, thatd be cool.

Title:
Post by: neb87 on June 28, 2006, 02:49:43 AM

Good Idea Olympus Mons-Could make some connection with the earth volcanoes
Edit-Templete for Explorers posted
Does templete lokk good?

The hat looked a bit off so I tried fixing it. If you don't like it doon't use it.

Thanx like the new one

Post by: the keyblade master on June 28, 2006, 10:44:50 AM

Moving the storyline to mars sounds like a good idea!
You can it so that they discover a whole ancient civillization that existed on mars ages ago.
Try combining "the beast" with that idea somehow too...

Title:
Post by: neb87 on June 28, 2006, 11:55:19 AM

Am thinking of the start out on Earth and then the goto Mauna Loa Volcano and deep inisde it they get sent(teleported) somehow to deep inside mars volcano Olympus Mons

Title:
Post by: the keyblade master on June 28, 2006, 12:14:26 PM

I was thinking more like they get sent to explore volcanos on mars...

Why are things always on Mars?Why not Saturn or Uranus?

Title:
Post by: drenrin2120 on June 28, 2006, 09:29:29 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Saturn and Uranus are pretty much just balls of gas. I mean, if you like living on highly flamable gas, be my guest.

Jupiter is a ball of gas as well. :p I guess you could say Mercury or Venus for a change, but I personally don't care what planet it's on, even if it's made up.

Anyway, great idea Neb! This sounds like it could be a really cool game! I agree with what Tomi said earlier about the minigame. That sounds cool.  :happy: I think other minigames could work out well in a situation like this. It makes me think a Resident Evil 4 style button system with the climbing and such would be suitable for this too, if you could do that.

I don't have any other suggestions really. Good luck with this project! I'd love to play it.

You can't really live on Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Jupiter. Life would be rather hard on pluto, but you could give it a try. How about that tenth planet? I'm pretty sure it's terestrial and not jovian.

Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 29, 2006, 12:30:00 AM

Mercury- Too close to the sun
Venus- Titanium alloy melting acid rain
Earth- Nice in cozy
Mars- Shows fossils that seem to create a similar environment to Earth
Jupiter- Gas
Saturn- Gas
Uranus- (Hee hee) I believe is a solid, but is mostly gas
Neptune- Same as Uranus
Pluto- Too far away from sun

Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 29, 2006, 03:59:06 AM

You should make the senior explorer an older guy. Like mid 60's and hes the expert. Maybe when they find the thing he's like flabberghasted because he knows something, but something happens to him before he can share it. That would add to the mystery.

Good ideajust need to make the old fart

Post by: Wynwalk12 on June 29, 2006, 11:45:15 AM

Ah, what a great idea. This reminds me of a book I read that might give you some ideas.

Its called the ancient enmeny.

Its about this prehistoric being which lived underground and only came up every few thousand years to eat.

It starts when two sisters return home to find that everyone seems to be missing. They go to there house and finds that the doors and the phones out. The oldest sisters maid seems to have died while making dinner. They exept there to be some phyco killer in there house so they go next door to use the phone and call the police. When they get there theres dinner on the table and chairs on the floor. Theres no blood so they expect them to all be kidnapped.

(Fast forward.) They go to a police station. They find slugs on the ground but no bullets, so whatever was there was hit. But theres no blood! They find that the radio in the police station works so they call the police of another town.

(Fast forward even more. Mind you this is a very scary book.)
When they police arrive they decide to stay in the police station overnight and search for bodys the next day. They find bodies alright. But there not normal bodies so they expect them to be infected by some type of disease! (I think this is a good idea for your game.)

Later they find the truth! The ancient enemy is really just a HUGE blob that lives under the whole city so it can get anyone, anytime by going through vents etc. But what makes it so deadly is because when it eats a human it gains the knowledge of that human and can use that humans imagination to transform into anything it wants.

In the end they killed it by calling these scientist when they thought it was some type of disease. But when they learned the truth (after like 7 people died) they made this germ that ate away at the thing until it diead. (they didnt actually make the germ...they had to phone for it using a type of code so the ancient enemy couldnt know what they were talking about)

This book is baced of true facts. Like they explain mass dissapearneces. Bermuda triangle, missing ships, missing towns. etc. (The ancient enemy isn't real...or is it? ;))

ANYWAY great book. You should all read it. I hope all that long gabbering helps.

One of these days Neptune and Uranus are going to crash into one another and produce the biggest gas bubble to ever be sucked into space.

Re: "Ancient Enemy", isn't that "Phantoms", by Dean Koontz?
I recall seeing a movie by that name, based on the book by Koontz, that was the exact same thing. Related it back to incidents in the ancient Mayan culture where whole cities up and disappeared (I remember this because of what a big deal it was that there was still food on the tables).
Anywho, yea, that was a freaky movie, and I don't like freaky movies.
Also check out "The Relic" for creepy monsters and mystery beasts- scientist on an expidition to South America comes across a tribe that uses a special plant to prepare their warriors for battle - what it does is actually mutates them into animals, then denies them an essential chemical found in the human brain. After so long of being deprived of this, they go on a rampage and decimate opposing tribes. Scientist is infected by this, manages to get back to the states and transforms into the monster in the middle of Chicago. Backstory could be more useful than the movie itself, which you pick up from the movie and the novel sequal "Reliquary".
