One of the largest outstanding pieces of work left for this project is for me to nail down the plot, progression, story, backstory, and ultimate resolution for this game. I have vague ideas floating around in my head, even fewer written down, and nothing truly solid.

As I had started this for the... *clicks Event History link*...RPG Make Ace Lite Cookoff?! Seriously?!! Has it been that long???? Christ almighty. Well, anyway, I started this off for a small event and I had planned to keep the scope of the game itself small, but include some facets to it to increase its replayability. Having 9 classes (some with multiple variations) was a start for this. The other was to have multiple (3) paths through to the midpoint area, then the some more paths (2) to the final fight. I have also toyed around with the idea of having 2 factions that you could engender yourself towards: the Federation (BIG GOVERNMENT!) or the Outlaws (the rascals who resent BIG GUBBMENT!), but I have nothing solid on how that will even work out in-game. I was also going to add in Outside-Of-Battle-Skills (OOBS) like in Hellion, so that you could further customize your party in a given playthrough.

Plot
The party will start off on the road to Kamsack, the ramshackle town on the edge of the wastes. It is far away from the more populated towns to the south. (Remember, the world is post-apocalyptic - after the war with Entity 0, the land is pretty damn barren). The city states to the south have formed a Federation, but Kamsack is currently outside of their realm of influence... for now. Anywho, they talk a bit about their previous adventure to get ahold of the McGuffin Trigger and their plans to enter the Sapphire Arcology and activate it - thus restoring balance to this world. Noble goals, eh?

After a brief respite in town, they set off. They quickly find that the Arcology is sealed completely, and without power. So now they have to travel deeper into the wastes to reactivate an emergency power supply station. They have to contend with a droid-worshipping cult, renegade scavenger gangs, and merciless big-game hunters. If they ally themselves with one of these factions, they might have an easier go of it. Who knows?

Anywho, after powering on the station (which was guarded by a fearsome beast, of course), they head back to the arcology. The defense systems have been reactivated, blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda fight the big bad and win game.

SPOLARS (don't click)


As you can see, I am pretty clear on what I want to face in the wastes, but when it comes to the arcology itself, I'm a bit ...shallow... on ideas. Any suggestions on ideas for the second half of the game is welcome. Also, ideas for mini-quests. Some I had:

-bounties on criminals/radicals (posted by the Federation)
-hunting some big game monsters
-innoculating foolhardy hunters against disease using vaccines (because FUCK PEOPLE WHO DON'T GET THEIR KIDS VACCINATED - this is so going into my game; get vaccinated or DIE)
-destroying an old droid factory
-decimating the scavenger gangs
-...fetch quests??


Anywho, thanks for reading. Maybe I will post more art or battlers soon (once I draw some more)
