New Exploration Idea

Seeing as the majority of the group were not content with our previous idea, we came up with a new concept for a game. The game may have 2 parts to it.

1: Basically, the player will control a character who wanders into a strange and mysterious place where he has been warned not to go, simply out of curiosity. When he arrives, he initially finds some amazing things that he has never seen of dreamt of before, however, it all very quickly turns dark. The character then decides to leave, however, he finds that the whole area has changed around and so he can't go back the way he came. On his way he will find a girl who has been trapped there and so then decides to rescue her and together they will escape from the place.

2. The second part will be the boy and the gril back in the original world, however, some of the elements from the place that was explained in part one, will have travelled to the original world to either:
- Take him back
- Take the girl back
- Or Take them both back


As we discussed, I think that Rebecca should come up with some themes for the strange world, the only thing I can really say it should be is a complete mindfuck. The wierder the better.

Gustav (and katy if gustav will agree with her joining the group), can come up with different game mechanics for the game. You will both have to work with Rebecca to make sure that your ideas work together.

Dale can come up with ideas and themes or the original world etc. and help along with whatever else he would like to, (Im sure what role Dale would like to play on this project).

I will come up ideas for characters and story, for which i will also have to refer back to everyone elses Ideas to make sure it all works together.

Finally, if Katy would rather do something else on the project then she can, I only put her on that role as I was kind of unsure where to put her seeing as she is a new addition to the group. Is everyone OK with that or are there any more ideas?

plus a reply to gustavo

veggies?... really?...thats... thats really kinda creepy

plus let's not get dragged into steampunk...i really cant stress that enough, its been so overdone it hurts.

but i'll spit out a few designs of the traits and main humanoid species

Monstery ideas and the like

What i was thinking of for monsters is for them to have a universal visual trait, like several eyes, or several legs, skin/fur pattern or facial feature that shows that they are from this world, i also want to slighty hint this overall trait in the species too.

found a tonne of pics that are inpiring me, if you find something that you think is kickass show it to me and i'll kick it in as much as i can.




these guys i was thinking to use for inspiring the main cultured species.. obviously change it so its more human but i like the idea of making them humanoid.. and not compleatly human

Design Examples

Here are some images that give a little idea of what I imagined the game to look like.

Possible Story Ideas

OK guys, we need to think of a story for the offline single player mode of the game. Here's one idea that I have:

Two races have been at war for centuries, and no one really remembers why. There was a time when they both peacfully co-existed on the planet, but that was a long time ago. Although no one really remembers the origin of this war, their hatred for one another still remained...

Im not sure where the story could go after this, but it would be good if you guys could add your own idea to it or add comments about it. Thanks
