Hello! Sorry I haven't been about, but we never seem to do anything around here. Are we doing stuff now?

Yes, we're planning on working on a new game engine proposed by @dvarsagews.

I am a bit lazy to go back and re-summarize the idea, but it's essentially a game about someone who suffers from a concussion who is controlled by users who can only control one key each.

Cool! So… can I do anything?

Yes, anyone can help develop the plot specifically, and while doing so, people can start to develop the art and engine, and as soon as the plot is completely finished, the main focus would be game development.

In other words, in order, I plan on doing the following:
1. Begin planning plot.
2. Start developing the character, whilst planning plot.
3. Start coming up with a name, whilst planning plot.
4. Produce advertisements and promotion material whilst finishing up plot.
5. Develop the game.
6. Beta test it publicly through Project Branch.
7. Finish development.
8. Publish the game through Project Branch.

Let's Get Started!

We need people on deck to help plan the plot, similar to how Life Force was plot-developed, people to start coming up with names for the game, and as soon as most of that is covered, start developing additional engines, marketing material, and promotions.

PLOT DEVELOPMENT
We need people to help develop a plot for the game, following the current idea of:

A game about someone who suffers from a concussion who is controlled by users who can only control one key each.

Develop a plot about how he got that concussion injury, where, when, and such, including events that occur throughout the game.

Anyone may participate in plot development. No registration required.

Plot developed:

None.

Participants:
-Austinato

NAME DEVELOPMENT
Help develop a good name for the game!

Anyone may participate in name development. No registration required.

Participants:
-Austinato

PROGRAMMING ADDITIONAL ENGINES / FIXING EXISTING ENGINES
This will not be in development until plot is completed, however we need people to join the team.

Automatic participants (from the Programming department):
-jromagnoli
-Jim_The_Eagle
-the_force
-gems89
-Gabubachu11
-gametheory22

MARKETING MATERIAL & DEVELOPMENT
We need to spread the word and advertise our game that's in the works! So, let's develop some art, which includes banners and images about our game!

Like programming, this will not be started until a name and plot is created.

Participants:
-Austinato
-jromagnoli

Automatic participants (from the External Artist department):
-Jim_The_Eagle
-the_force
-EdenStudios

I would like to participate in advertising also.

Okay, thanks for participating!

Bump, we really need things moving here!

In case most of you didn't know, I founded Project Branch back in April, kind of had it sitting there, recruiting a few new members, but now I've withdrawn from PB to focus on Treasures Opened more, planning on coming back to pick PB back up sometime before beta's over.

Back on topic, I'll be messaging those who haven't responded/done anything about the plan on this page, or pretty much nearly everyone.

Okay then…can I participate in the advertising?

We're using this thread, but I've been a bit preoccupied, and everyone's a bit inactive.

Bump. We really need to start rolling, starting with plot development.

We have the following basic plot set by @dvarsagews:

A game about someone who suffers from a concussion who is controlled by users who can only control one key each.

When a player plays a game, most likely they would want a deeper plot than that, so let's work on improving (and detailing) it.

So anyone. Anyone. If you have a wild (yet reasonable, appropriate) idea, please don't hesitate to post it.

1). Scratch TD

In this TD, Scratch is being flooded with spammers and hackers. They have the power to CEO spam, DDOS the website, and inject malicious JavaScript. Your job is to prevent these hackers from getting to the website so that people can continue to enjoy programming and collaborating.

In this game, you will have to maintain data on enemies, towers, and tower attacks. For extra fun, make it so that you can upgrade towers. For more extra fun, make it so that enemies can attack towers. That will force you to keep track of data on tower health, enemy attacks, and more. In fact, it might be fun to make enemy attacks mimic the type of spammer/hacker that they are.

On an aside, I wonder what it would be like if you used sprites as towers? Ex: squirrel, Giga, dancer, and more…

You could also make it so that when upgrading towers, you don't use money. Instead, you get one free tower upgrade per wave.

Oh, by ideas, I meant branching off of the central plot:

A game about someone who suffers from a concussion who is controlled by users who can only control one key each.

In example, what does the character plan to do in the game? Go home or on an adventure?
