PYRODOOM'S PROFILE

author=benos

Fuck. -_- And this is when the meme thread goes terrible wrong,

Might as well balance it out by having to make fun of one of my favorite bands in such a bad way that people make fun of me even more and says it doesn't make sense.

Sadly, I forgot how to make one on most of the sites that I used in the past, so I'll do it later. -_-

Aslo, pyro, you need to add some more words if you want that to be considered a completed challenge, otherwise it just counts as a normal CLOSAT.

Wait...what. I wasn't going for the challenge yet funnily enough XD I guess that answers my earlier question.

I want to go for the challenge now that I have time though. Before school begins.

And NOW, I have lots of time since I worked ahead from week 1 to week 3, when I'm suppose to be on Week 1 still. Taking online classes, WOOHOO!

So, can Librty send the challenge rules over to me now?

Edit:apparently not

Sorry about your grandfather, and bet he was better than mine to you. When my grandfather died, his last words might as well had been "Fuck You", because he's put my family in a bad position with a mortaging company.

You know what, that's my buisness. I'll shut up right now.

Edit:I give my condolences.

Program itself WILL be free. There are other means of getting money, though I won't reveal details, because I don't want to someone steal my idea.

Why would someone steal an idea that involves money in any way. Oh yeah, now I remember, greed!

I write down everything. Like, as soon as I get an idea for anything I will tap it into my phone memo's for later use. I am.. very forgetful.. >_>

I start by waiting for a gimmick or main plot point to hit me (normally at weird times). For example, I was watching a Bounty advert earlier and it involved a desert island, so I started thinking about a game where you're on a plane to some destination or whatever and you have to pick your seat. The plane OBVIOUSLY crashes into the sea (because planes must crash in games/films/books) and you just so happen to save the person you chose to sit by. That person becomes your companion on a desert island and you could play the game over and over again with different companions from the plane. I rarely sit down and think, "I need a plot, let's make one" or my brain explodes.

Then I go on a walk, listen to some music and think of cool scenes that might happen in the game or the relationships between the characters and write all that down. Later on, I'll develop those ideas into something better or scrap the worse ones. Maybe there's a fight between the two survivors and they split up, or maybe one of them is very clingy and can't bear to be alone.

Like Marrend said, don't worry about making it too stream-of-consciousness or even keeping a journal of your thoughts. Or even recording yourself speak as you think so you can listen back on ideas. Or even roleplaying in your head. Take the position of each character and really try to make them feel realistic.

I once read a bit of a book by a guy who wrote comic books, and he said you should aim to tack "and" onto the end of every sentence. Don't just say "he's a 14 year old boy," say "... and he's got red hair.. and he plays the trumpet.. and he collects spiders.. and his parents were murdered by spiders.."

From what I gather from your situation, you've got too many ideas which you think are too unrelated to be within the same universe. What you need to do is put them all into the same world without them seeming too disjointed, or scrap various ideas which you don't think are quite so cool as the others. You can come back to them later, but if they were really that cool, you'd have no doubts on which to pick.

I was thinkking of putting Sonic, Silver, and Shadow in the game "Really Augumented Virtual Reality", because why just stop at a Lavender Town reference? I should go even further! But then, I think of the problems, what I think of it, and what others may think of it. I did that with the Sonic Human characters, but not Lavender Town. Lavender Town was just an idea I wanted to use at the time, no matter what others said. The Sonic Humans wouldn't make sense in a virtual world where Shadow creatures and Light creatures are fighting to know who will take over. Plus, you do a few things alike to what I do. Such as getting ideas at random or strange times, such as a video I watched we gave me the idea for a game. "Sonic Humans"

And funnily enough, I paused in the making of this post, starting listening to a song, and it helped me come up with the plot. I do roleplay the characters, I do think of their personalities when making their responses to what's going on around them, the only thing I don't do, is write dialouge. But now I know what to do, I have a plan.

Start the way I normally do, plan game plot, story ideas, characters, bla bla bla.
But then I go about it here, where I try the 'chapter' idea, so I have stopping places, and I will summarize certain things that characters do, such as a fighting scene between 2 characters(in this case I will use Sonic vs. Evil Pyro)

Sonic says "(whatever he says)" -Fight begins between Sonic and Evil Pyro-


Tell me if my plan has something wrong in it, and if there is something wrong with it, tell me what it is. I would love to hear it. Here are the videos that are giving me ideas right now:

This is the plot idea video(the video I got my plot idea from).


This is the character and theme song idea video(where I got the song for the game's title screen, and the picture that helped me make some sprites)


Anything else?
