Alright. I need to write a "story" of sorts for my dissertation. I have decided to use CSNES as the base for the story, due to its wealth of fun characters, brilliant dialogue, and so on, so forth. Before you ask, I will be toning down the language as my family will be among those playtesting it. To create a story under this system, it needs a few things. Characters (no duh):- Who do you think should be in the story? I'm not having the whole damn cast, that's just way too much. Maybe five-ten will do. Items:- Things the characters want. The players job is to get the items and give them to/use them around other characters to progress the story. Story Roles:- Villain, hero, friend, and so on. How the characters get on together. Should only be discussed once characters are agreed on... Story points:- Events that occur after certain things are done in game. Like, for instance, giving an item to someone else, saying something to someone, and so on. Uh...That's pretty much everything, I think. If you want to try out the software for yourself, you might be able to get it working if you download it from here. Although Vort was having trouble running it on Linux. It might be Windows only. If you can think of a better story for these purposes, please point it out. |

Its the UT gamebot And how bout....JEWTHULHU! Just throw a sammich into the conveniently place tentacle pits and Jewthulhu shall rise to hold your crap....did I spell his name wrong? His name gives me dyslexia. And you Drekal shall be the random teacher that tells the character what to do at certain intervals appearing in extremely bizzare ways and constantly failing at making a ninja like vanishing-into-the-shadows bit. I shall be some rgeneric pirate who the player beats the....ok perhaps I should post something more original. Eh, what kind of story does this have to be? If seriousness isn't an issue... Zee main character (any volunteers?) will try to date each girl in his home town resulting in a mass amount of physical pain being inflicted on the character (gee, wonder who are leading ladies are). So the character is instructed by our mystical ninja instructor about something something and something to help him become...suavish-*shot* edit:dammit! cant...see...keyboard...or figure out what to do with the UT bot stuff |

How bout I'm there to look cool, be a nice guy who smiles too often, who acts a bit goofy but is sometimes reluctantly serious. He should also have the power to rule all of mankind! |

You misunderstand what I mean... I meant the comic. Not the forum. |

Have the puzzle wizard run a shop like in the 64 Zelda games in which you pay him some....whatever currency, then you play some silly game and get an item if you win. How to make this part of the plot line? Prior to visiting the shop the hero raids a bandit fort for gold or glory and steals something called a "VIP Card" from the chief bandit's room. The puzzle wizard is actually a lowly thug for this chief and is just supposed to make money by running a rigged game, but the nature of the puzzle wizard forbids him to make it impossible, just hard. And when you either win or lose the game the puzzle wizard will say something along the lines of "We have a special game for those owning a VIP CARD if you're interested". If the player shows the VIP card and accepts they go into a "special" back room which turns out just to be a small 1x1 room with a trapdoor, which ofcourse lets the hero fall through. The hero lands in a dungeon and basically its a game of "get out alive" with the puzzle master. After getting through whatever death traps you can think of, the hero finds himself back in the store, the dungeon being its basement. The puzzle master is stunned and trys to escape but the hero blocks the front door and then the puzzle master proclaims "Bah! No matter! I'll just use the back door!" which is actually still the backroom with the trap door. Yes its cliche irony and gameplay all around but meh. |
