Title: Idea: Sewer Game
Post by: pumpkin on September 12, 2010, 04:07:25

I don't know if this should go here, but I have an idea for a game, and I have the opportunity to make it very soon. Basically, an old school style  platformer that is heavily based on nice environments and music. (Much like Knytt Stories) My basic idea was being born and raised in a sewer, developing excellent vision and athletic skill from leaping around in dark tunnels. I like the idea because it could take the free running and ''roof jumping'' that so many people loves in the Assassin's Creed series, and combine it with enemy head stomping, switch activating, and outright fun of certain Italian plumbers. Does anyone know if this has already been made, and if so, I'd like to see it. Thanks everybody. :)

Time for a programming project!

GML, perhaps?

I do have to tell you, making the fluid feeling of parkour in a platformer is really hard.

Gotta get everything right...  :moody:

I do speak through experience.

Well, the good thing is I'll have plenty of time to work on it, and have a professional programmer with me for help, and several months to work on artistic design qualities of the game, along with developing a storyline. I'll post updates frequently, especially relative to the story.
Character: Our main character, who is unnamed for the time being, is a very pale, muscular figure that would invoke fear in the heart of anyone who met him in a dark alley, or anywhere for that matter. But despite his harsh looks, he is a pained individual. His mother was very poor, living off of unemployment checks and was also a prostitute. One day, she awoke to vomiting, and ran to the store to buy a pregnancy test. It was positive. She couldn't afford even a back alley abortionist, so she had to quit her ''job'' as a hooker. This led to complications with her pimp, who took to beating her daily. The baby boy, was born two months early, he survived well enough for a month or two, but was kidnapped by the pimp.
