Another Chain Game? (Complete)

[zuhane]

This sounds exciting any screenies up yet?

No screens yet it's only on it's second chapter! Wait till at least chapter 4. Then it will have more variety in it's looks.

**** happens. If you dare to take on the the monstrous curl your gonna wipe out, brah! The ones who master the wave are those mondo few who get back on the board.

I had an idea, I'm not sure how feasible it would be but figured I'd do a small interest check anyway. How about doing another version of this chain game? Chapter one is more or less the same (story would be the same but would like to redo some level design just to mix it up a bit) and then we basically start another run. In the end we can see how different or the same the games turned out.
I would like to keep it smaller maybe three chapter total. Another limit would be that you're not allowed to sign up for the same spot you have in the original.

But yeah, Charas is small and most people interested in making a chain game is already doing the original, I dunno, what do you guys say? Are you interested in something like this or are you burned out on chain games for awhile?

Sounds like a cool idea, but I can imagine it becoming quite stressful, especially now that the first version has been delayed some.

[Moosetroop11]

So a sort of 'how different two games can end up from the same start point!' sort of thing...

It does sound cool, and I'd get on board if everyone did, but my part hasn't happened yet so I'm assuming I'll be busy with that at some point

[Donut]

That could be something fun to do actually =)

@Dr Ace. Aww shame. Computers can be such d**ks sometimes

[Fisherson]

Hmm the experimentalist in me really wouldn't mind doing two two different simultaneous games at once but the realist in me questions what would be the point. The same story only different levels and LESS content? Meh. I would more be curious if you were to take the point when the protagonists broke up their party and then have it so that one of them was made the hero instead. That would be worth exploring or if you have game that works like Undertale where the whole thing just resets and something changes, only instead of some NPC or a phone call it could be something big like a level or an extra plot arc or choice you didn't have before! Man that would have been nice.

Though again I'm not sure it's worth it to possibly take energy from this Chain Game currently in progress. Especially until we see if Doctor Ace gets his chapter done. Which reminds me I will not let this one be DOA. CCG2 I couldn't save but this one ....will not die.

But it's a chain game, in the very nature of it it won't be the same story. Someone else will intrepid what happens in chapter 1 and what should happens next. Then someone else will build on that. I think they will be vastly different. As for it being less content I don't really mind, personally I prefer shorter games. More doesn't automatically equal better, mostly just a bigger chance that I get bored and stop playing halfway through.

I'm willing to give it a try if there is enough people up for trying. If not that's fine, just thought it could be fun.

Edit: As for it would kill the original game, I highly doubt it will affect it at all. At the most some schedule conflict but I'm sure it won't kill everything. If this one would finish first I would also hold if in releasing it until the original have finished.

[Zoltar]

It sounds mondo intriguing to me, but I wasn't in this one at all so my gnarly opinion doesn't matter too much right?

As for the "More Cotent=Equals More Fun"  thing I'm going to say that depends on how hooked I am with the story. The first Chain Game 'Lost and Found' was fun but I didn't want anymore when the story was done, maybe a sequel or something with a new game ya know? But it was enough and because it's compact I can replay it easily and enjoy it all over again without too much comitment. Wrath of Gaia on the other hand I would love to have seen more content from in the game. Even though it's a looong game with loads to do it always feels like there could be even more time with those characters...but it does take sooooooooooo long to replay.  So I see what Momo is saying there.

[Momeka]

I was bored and made the owl merchant from Wrath of Gaia, so if anyone feels like their chapter needs a bird-folk salesman feel free to use it.





Edit:
Made some additional save points if anyone wants.



It also comes with a trap where a monster pops up:

[Zoltar]

Owl duuuuude! I mondo love that guy! Shame I'm not making a chapter or I would totally use him.

[Fisherson]

Owl man! I loved that in Wrath of Gaia. Personally probably is my favorite traveling shop idea of all time, though the masked dudes from JO werea close second. Boy wouldn't that be a nifty Death Battle only Charas people would get? XD

Wow! I love those save point ideas there, Red! Especially the Goblim and the Monster pop up XD Very clever expanding out the mimic idea from chests.

[Moosetroop11]

Yeah the saves are wicked... Is that how we're doing saving in this game all through? Great if so

Yep the save points are less static and very much awesome and alive in this game. I hope people continue to use them as they are an awesome asset and as Red just proved fun to mod.
