YAY! now that Finals Weeks is over I can start writing some stuff out.
So- I took a piece of paper and a pencil and drew this:
This is a possible Cover Art. I was thinking about maybe the character sitting on his porch hugging his knees, or Maybe the picture of his decaying house. My House started to look like the houses 2nd graders draw, and I was just to lazy to Google image something for reference. So- I drew this one.
Then when I came on the computer I wrote the basic idea for level 1, and the basic outline of the whole game.
Which is this:
Basic Idea of Begining
- Begining Video/Opening consits of old family home movies, and news stories of when the planet went horribly wrong.
Old TV effect for the screne, Switches fast so you can see, but you the player don't know what happened. You know something terrible happened, but the video is so fast and chaotic you have no idea. Fades to white. * waking up*
- You wake up in your old decaying house.
* if Possble, maybe enter in " what is my name?" Like the begining of FF8*
You are very confused about what happened, and you are wondering where everyone is.
You call out for your mother, father and sister.....No answer.
You walk around the house, and see that it is falling apart. everything is decaying, and it's very musky.
*video stops and player is now able to control the charatcer*
Level 1
- Walk around the house.
Go into your sisters room and see her decaying dolls, and pink paint that is pealing off the walls.
Parents room is just empty. The bed, the dresser, etc. The bed is eaten by Moths.
Your room is just dark. Poster's on the wall are water warped. Cob webs everywhere.
The Living room has dvd's and VHS. VHS is a home movie, one imporant thing. But you can't watch it yet
On a book shelf there is a family photo album
In the kitchen is it all decayed. Open the fridge at your own risk!
You aquire your Dad's journal on the kitchen counter.
Open it and it reads:
"November, 23rd 2012
Things are starting to get worse. There is something really errie about the air. I am constantly feelings like I am being watched. Work laid me off, and I haven't told her. Not only that but _________ won't wake up. Chelsea misses her big brother. I am so scared, but I am trying to be strong for my family.
I can only be so brave....."
that's are you are allowed to read because your father ripped the pages out.
You will be able to find pieces of your father's journal everywhere, and piece it together.
there is still a chunk of journal left, and you begin to write in that yourself.
Possiblity of Outline
So you wake up and you have no idea what year it is, what happened, or where everyone is.
you are ALONE.
You gather clues as to what happened to the planet.
A possiblity is the idea of what will happen December 23rd, 2012.
As you Put the puzzle together, and have an idea of what happened, but no ending..
Here are possiblites for ending of Game Play and start of waking up again
* You fall into an Abyss
* You are attacked by something--- Men in Black, etc
* You Kill youself because you are alone.
So, you wake up and and everything was a dream.
The player doesn't actually know the character is waking up until the character is back in his own house at his own time.
And that leaves the player to decide what happened, and write their own ending.
*sigh* there we go! I can only imagine how long this blog post looks!

Can you guys hear me all they back in the 90's??????
okay ummm were to begin...first off this is my opinion so dont get pissy...first off i could write a book on how many games start off with "you" being the last person on earth...now not trying to be rude but ur ideas for ending suck falling into an abyss? wtf were did that come from????? so im just walking along and oops! i slipped.... sounds like a lack of story ........next soooo the dad decided it would be easier to tear off every page in his journal except for one wich just happens to lead to a story line???(wouldnt be easier to carry the notebook?)then after going through the effort of ripping all those pages out he decides to drop....now answer why TF i cant watch the video...
now im just gonna take a few guesses on the story
1.you run into a cop
2.hear little girl lafter/voices of family
3.happens to find a random gun
4.cant open a door without the yellow key or somthing like that.
Pretty much this idea should be called Cliche the Video game
whats getting atracction these days in video games is uniqeness not 90s overratted bull crap
(sorry about grammer ;0)
