Title: Exorcist
Post by: Glacies on January 30, 2007, 06:16:48 PM

Well, the game is called Exorcist. It's about an Exorcist...Screenies forthcoming.

The game is set around 1995-ish. A house is haunted by some unknown menace.. So they send you in. The character has no name. He/She is supposed to be the peson playing the game, somewhat. Only thing is, the character also wants to retire.. Badly. But they can't break away.. Lots of Person versus themselves dialoge impending...

The game is going to have around 30 maps only. There are going to be a degree of puzzles, rare combats and more common runnning away activities... Maybe a mini-game or two.

Spoilers, anyone? I already have the whole game plotted out..

Oh, and it's in RM2K.

That's really minimal info, plus I don't think I understand completly. But the part about puzzles and mini-games sounds cool, thats what I like to see in games.

I'd like more detailed info, please.

This will fail. For obvious reasons. I'm not being mean, I'm being observant.

I dunno about failing. It sounds unlike a lot of the other stuff I see, which I simply stamp "PHALE!" in my mental storage. A lot of the other projects on here try to be overambitious, and burn out. This one seems like a nice, fairly limited game, which, though it won't be the next Final Fantasy, should quite nicely accomplish its task. I'm not all atwitter to see it, but I think he can pull this off fairly nicely. And who knows? Maybe it'll exceed expectations and be a fun game.

A little bit more information..I've done the sprites for the hero..for now only the female one since the majority of my my test players are female. Anyway, It's not gonna be too impressive graphics wise, or script heavy so expect to see lots of simple things..

And since I have nothing else to say, anyone curios about the plotline?

Be ambitious or be nothing. To simpply put it. But that's your own decision.

Some plot and introductory stuff: :corn:

An ambitious young man named Hugo buoght a plot of land on the outskirts of West lake town. He contracted some workers to build himself a house, and he pretty much left it abandonned while he went to university..

Then he came back and started renting the place to boarders. He wasn't very selective about them, so a mentally defecient person named Wallace came along..No rent, but he played test subject for Mr. Hugo..

Then later on, a engaged couple called Miranda and Jeff showed up, and Hugo let them in too.. After a while, Hugo decided that  Miranda would make a good lab rat. Jeff tried to kill hugo. Wallace killed Jeff. Hugo got to do whatever the hell he wanted.. Managed to make her dissapear.

Then Hugo really started losing it, and collected a vast amount of demonic stuff. That's when the Exorcists took notice. They kept tabs on him. He has died now. Or at least presumed to be dead, what with the fact that land tax payments weren't being payed. A tax collector came along and didn't return. Two policemen came three days later,and one came back spouting gibberish: "No..He tried to... my eyes...meat....A mask, the sort bank robbers wear.....". The policeman has been confined to a psych ward. No news on Wallace or Miranda...Jeff's body was found in the lake the city is placed near.

Now your job is to go in, steal everything that isn't nailed down, and some stuff that is. And kill anything evil. Kay'?

If you could make it work out something like eternal darkness, that would be wonderful.

It remined me of that by the whole 30 maps only and run instead of fight stuff.

Eternall darkness? The heck? Must check that out..Whee...game coming along very slowly bacause school is more important.  :jumpin:  And plans continue..

Also, keep any spherical objects you find. They may just come in handy.

And Trevlac...? What're these obvious reasons....?
