Posted: Oct 24, 2003 17:33 Post subject: Plot Change!!! |
|
|
For those of you who remember my first project Shielded Empire which had turned to Armoured Threat, has now become something entirely different. I have finally found a good use for the city I made, and it makes it so I don't have to make very many changes. Plus the plot I've come up with now sounds a whole lot better and diabolical. Okay here goes.
There is this rare spice on the planet of Taloron that is commonly used as a substitute for many food spices. But when the spice is infected with a certain fungus, the spice becomes highly toxic. A few counsil members have already fallen victim to this deadly poison, and this method of poisoning points us to the crimelord and mad man Genji Valdimere. Genji Valdimere is also thought to be responsible for the recent water poisonings on Gammorea that killed many innocent civilians.
This could be another one of his sick ways to have fun, so we've hired you, Kyle, again to track him down. Since the spice only come from Taloron, we believe he may be exporting his 'goods' from Landara Spaceport. Find evidence that he is guilty, and destroy any lab he may have. If he happens to escape, or if he isn't there, try fining some data tape on where he might be. My guess is that he is using a water refinery to harvest the waterborn spice.
Be careful though. Genji has henchmen all over the city, and has had strong ties with the Empire in the past. Don't be surprised if you have unwanted guests.
So that's the new plot. All the stuff I said would be there will still be there. I just have to make a few more things and add the objects, and it should be ready to go. But I also need a Textcrawl and new mission briefing. Oh, and a credits crawl for the end.
Anyone willing to do this?
I'm also open to suggestions as well.

If Barry reccomends a name, I wouldreccomend you don't use it...
...As far as using the name, "Taton Qek", you do realize this is to be a name for a person Kyle's suposed to assassinate, don't you?

That sounds cool, are you getting that from somewhere or did you make it up?

Now did I once say you have to kill him? I said you MIGHT have to kill him. However, Donovon Blaze sounds pretty cool.

Donovan Blaze? That's rubbish! It sounds really camp.
How about 'Cerril of Gundusqui'?

So can anyone do a texcrawl, mission briefing, and creditcrawl for my new plot? I can have it all ready by the end of the day.

Since I haven't the patience to ask for a project page, I'll just post my progress here. This will be the only one I do.
After heavy plot changes and about 7 months of grueling work, The Spice Bust on Taloron (Formerly Armoured Threat and Shielded Empire) is nearly complete!
What is left to be done? Well, not a whole lot. I just have to detail some really old rooms (Back when I was mediocre and didn't know what I was doing), Fix the tram way, alter the BM's for the Impy base to a pirate/criminal lord base thingy, and do some heavy retexturing in some other areas. After that is finished, I shall fix any INF problem, and lastly, add the objects and hope that Dark Forge doesn't erase them.
With all of this in mind, the whole thing should be done by at the latest Christmas. But if I really buckle down, I can have it finished quite sooner. It'll be no Dark Tide, but it should provide some fun until then.
Oh, and the GOB itself so far is 8.1 MB, and the level is the largest seen so far (Over 2300 sectors).

Nice, but I have a few questions:
How long does the level take to complete, on a standard blitz through?
How long can you take to get everything?
What is the Vertice per sector ratio?
Are there any cutscenes?

Considering that the bulk of it is still incomplete, the most it could really take without getting side tracked is at most a half an hour. If you take time to do the sidequest, and take a look at all the other cool details, it should take about an hour to complete in a first run for someone who hasn't played it before. Add the time it takes to solve the door code for the first time, about 1 1/4 hour to complete.

See above. That would include getting everything from every room and killing every enemy, and seeing every fun little thing I added in.

Dark Forge does not tell me.

Lets see, lets see...
All I can really say is that you guys can expect Spice Bust on Taloron released within the month!
Yeah, I'm sure you're just jumping with joy (seeing what competition I have, that being the overly impressive Dark Tide).
I want to keep my sector and room limit to where it is now, because any more would make the level rediculously gawdy and bland. I have made some pretty interesting things and some other goodies.
1. The use of three new weapons (one being the Goob Gun from Dark Tide).
2. The choice to compete in a competition for one of those weapons.
3. Interactive surroundings (In a few areas)
4. An interesting array of terrain and City scape that I believe is quite unique.
5. An exploration kind of level, rather than going around blowing stormies to hell (although you will do that in a couple areas). Much like PtHD.
6. TWO ways to complete the mission!
I hope this will be enough to give a little insight to what I'm trying to accomplish.

Sounds awesome, I can't wait!
And don't think of yourself as competing with Dark Tide. Your level offers some unique things, and so does the Dark Tide.

Thanks Mega, that gave me much more confidence to finish this level.
And I ask again, I need someone to build me a mission briefing and a textcrawl for the beginning and for the credits. Who will do them?

If it's not too late, I suggest Bob. After all, that's the name of the evil spirit in Twin Peaks. Come on, how can you go wrong with the Stagehand from Hell?

Bob is a universally accepted name. That would be good for naming whatever you feel like in your project.
A few examples of characters named Bob:
The angel you play in MESSIAH,
The dinosaur in Dilbert,
The name of countless cartoon characters,
...As well as the most important character in any of my brother's works, aside from Escape from Noah's Ark 3D...
