Team Storyline (take 2)

[Archem]

I wish he would get off his *** and work on the magazine some more...

[Phayre]

A team game?
I can see it now... the TS RPG... with kickass music, kickass story... and so much Mack and Blue you could just puke. I like.

[Vlad Shadeu]

in more ways than one. i really have no clue where to send my story, but it will have many funny parody and non-parody sidetracks
okay, here is what i know will happen in mi story:

Rex(main dude) discovers that his family is moving (game designer evicted them)*done*

Goes to school to tell Friend and his crush*done*

his friend and crush join the party, then they go to class. *done*

in class, it's all creepyfied. then, evil demon dude abducts Rex's sister, and they head off to the main adventure *done*

they save a village from evil hydra (this part is done, but need to make it funneh)

*need a lot of sidetracks to add in here*

the bond between the characters grows significantly, and eventually the crush and main character fall in love.

*need a lot of sidetracks to add in here*

in the end, they will discover that the great evil is a smurf. said smurf can turn into a bunny.

other stuff:
the game has a current total of 14 summon animations, and i am turning them into summons. the complete game will have 20+summons, so if you got ideas, give them to me, please

bonus chars/items: once the game is over they can acess bonus zones with varouis new (lv 1) characters and new items. if you got any ideas to enhance this place, please tell me.

possibly: a second story using another set of characters that i already have. this story will be as long as the original, and only acessible after you beat the game.

i want this game to be as long and as fun and as funny as i can make it, so please help!

[Vlad Shadeu]

fixed my little non-funny hydra (he uses lousy netspeak) but i still need that other help.

[Phayre]

A smurf? Oh dear. I quake in terror! *shudder*
I'm glad we finally have a request!
The first step to making a funny story is adding quirks to your characters. Like, is Rex your normal schoolboy? Well, what if he's totally normal except for his insane fear of mongooses? Everywhere he goes, he checks for them. Whenever there's evil afoot, he blames it on those %@%! mongooses. Something like that will add humor to normal situations. Also, exaggerate everything. Not just,
"Oh, brave strangers, save out town from the evil Hydra!"
but
"Lo, the brave strangers have come to vanquish the hideous Hydra which terrorizes our tranquil country town!" or sommat. Take cliche character types and exaggerate them, then add oddities, like the hero's crush character is all goo-goo about him once they fall in love, but every time he mentions frosting, she smacks him with a frying pan.
this is all advice for insane, zany humor, which I love. For a game with more sarcastic, scathing humor, perhaps have some fourth wall moments, meaning where characters mention things outside their own world or comment on the status of the game itself. For example:
Hero: " Oh, pff. It's just a Hydra. being the brave RPG hero, I must vanquish it, but not before watching it  kill hundreds of villagers. Only when it abducts my true love must it be slain... I'm so bloody excited.... *sigh*"

These are just examples, not things to actually use, since they bite. I find that using examples is the best way to demonstrate something.

As for along the way, just take your stereotypical RPG quests and twist them. I'll post more later, for now, the rest of TS will help! *rides off gallantly*

[Vlad Shadeu]

thanks man. i'm working on a couple projects here, and i don't know exactly how to add more humor. which is unusual, seeing i make the funniest sprite comic most people ever heard of. mebbe i'll ask for help on my other thing later.... but still, thanks for the help. did you say that other TS'ers whould help? yayzers! come on, guys, help me, please.

they save a village from evil hydra (this part is done, but need to make it funneh)

Make it so then the hydra fell on top of a few houses when you killed it.  And the angry villagers chase after you.  Like this:
"Oh no!  The hydra's falling on the houses!"
"Holy crap!  It is!"
*BOOM*
"My house!"
"GET OVER HERE RPG HERO!!!!!!!!"
"Run Away!!!!!!"

So....   We have a request.  i am posting the request on the Team Storyline Board (on the rpgmaterials forum, so if you forgot the password, contact me!)



There we can discuss what we can do to help.

[arrowdredge]

Q: -Forgotten Legend told me to come here I guess...?

-Or not?

(I'm not sure who...)

Where is the main place you click to discuss story-lines...?



I got a mail message from Forgotten legends.


I posted in "Plot Developments" in Mini Teams board.

         "Fully flesh out your storyline." *There's a smile Face there*

-that's what it was called.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Also, we do Not completely do the story for you.


We give you some ways to continue/advice on things.  We are Not a Team that does your game for you.



-Thanks, A Forgotten Legend
