Project 5

The Story:

In 2371 most of the Earth's resources exhausted. To replace
the missing materials, scientists started experimenting.
After two years of destitution, Dr. Richard Campbell
discovered a new material, which could help
to improve not only the vehicles, but the spaceships!

Even though new materials were found, human kind finds themselves in a world full of other planets, species, cultures and needs. Every officer tries to handle the situation differently, which leaves Ben alone, when it comes to the time of decisions...

In general:

I can't hide the fact that the game is inspired by StarCraft and Mass Effect. I don't copy their stories however, so it will be a new experience, but a story-driven RPG. Every character have a background story, motivation and stlye on it's own and most importantly they have their own way of thinking. There are no "evil" and "good" species and sides, everybody tries to survive. Hopefully it will result a game where the player will take a few seconds before a dicision is made.

Battle system:

My aim is to create a battle system where you have to react to your enemies. Humans have Short ranged, Middle ranged, Long ranged, Medic and Heavy units. Each with unique abilities. Players can create their own strategies on how to handle the battles.

Characters:


Ben Ryker:
Ben is the main character, who finds himself in command quickly. He has a good heart which makes it difficult to make decisions, that effects others. Otherwise his background story is quite simple. Or is it? Ben had a normal childhood, until he was six and became an orphan. Thanks to a special program, the Army Academy take good care of him. Let's just say, he learned a lot...


CJ:
Cole Jackson becomes Ben's friend in the Army of Earth and he brings the laughter. He is usually goofy and cheerful, sometimes too much. He doesn't know how to handle certain situations, but he has a good heart. But ever wondered how or why these people became full of jokes? Perhaps with the full picture, it's less appealing...


Cortez:
Juan Cortez reprsents somebody, that is hard to work with. He has negativity all over his aura, but that doesn't change the fact, that he is a very talented soldier - not to mention how hard is to find a good medic. Cortez is not the talkative type and certainly not an easy person. How come? No one knows, since he doesn't speak much. But will it effect Ben's decisions?...


Jen:
Long red hair, much passion. She obviously became a medic to help people and that is one desire that has to be fulfilled. Jen is not the girlie type though, how could a soldier be one? For a helpful woman you would expect to be friendly, but that's just not the case here. You have to earn the trust, which will not be easy...
