64DCG Planning Phase Over

Posted by Castypher on Dec. 1, 2011, 10:19 p.m.

Last blog's poll wasn't so popular, as the only votes were for the setting to be 64Digits or the internet, and nobody had any idea what to do for the theme. Aside from that, the votes were tied. Well I've done some thinking, and here's what I've come up with.

The setting will be 64Digits.

I've thrown out the theme, but I basically have a plot now. It's not the best, but it should suffice for a community game that I don't expect to be released anywhere else. Not even YYG.

So the plot, in a nutshell, is that the characters each of you have given me have basically been brought to life by some bug/virus/whatever you call it, and are born into a little havoc on the site, which they navigate in order to find members, both friend and foe, and other characters who have also been raised and may or may not take a different outlook.

It's a start, at least, and this will change for the better, as right now it's just an idea for me to get where the game is going to go.

Anyway, today is December 1st, and as promised, signups are now closed. If you think you're an active member or have contributed to the community in any way (obviously staff – that means you, Ferret), then you can still post or PM me for an entry any time.

For all you others, have no fear. Some 64Digits members will be appearing as "subsidiary" characters. They will not be playable, but they may appear as bosses or just make cameos. I'll also be taking characters from some of the more popular games, because I'm a little short, and would like to have thirty or so playable characters for some good variety.

And with all that being said, the planning phase has ended and development has officially begun. I won't be so open with the game. I'll post a few updates and such, but overall, I think the less I say, the better it'll be when you actually play it.

Now that you have the story, those who have already signed up can further refine their character.

WHY DON'T YOU COME ON MSN AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE?

I'm finishing Assembler work, of course, and yes, I am studying for finals. But I figured I'd post a progress blog because I'll have gradually increasing downtime as my finals pass.

Updated with character lists.

Don't forget to include the Yaywalter cameo.

Some playable characters can and will be bosses. If you think you'll be better suited for an exclusive boss (non-playable), then let me know. That goes for everyone.

Next blog: Votes on users who should make appearances.

And yes, we'll have pizza porn in the game.

Sounds delicious.

Great, I'm Taizen's on the roster :V

(I'd imagine that'd get confusing after a while. D'OH WELL)

Taizen in his source game is an adventurer thief person. About how well does that characterization fit?

If you can think of a role to play in the (tentative) story, it'll fit just fine. But bear in mind that this is subject to change, unless enough people like it.

I'm good at writing long, detailed stories, but short stories aren't my thing. The community influence also makes things harder for me. Just a disclaimer, since I don't want my image as a novelist to be changed by this.
