I had the most amazing idea for the plot to a video game that I had ever had.

You play as a soldier named Veyrn, sent to innvestingate the four towers that are connected by bridges and scape across a large chasm. This chasm acts as a border between two countries that have been at peace for a centery after a millenia of fighting. The comminications with any and all residents of these towers have mysteriously been cut off. With no belief in an actuall threat, you are sent down for investigation. But when you enter, you find more than just communication errors. A story of power, evil, moral struggle, and an ending that will shock you.

I will upload an image of what the towers look like when I make it. i can tell that the ending will shock you, because when I told it to people, they were shocked, "and not just because I tazed them". While I willl have to learn quite a bit more about Cave Story's cut scene system and enemie/boss logic, this actually does appear quite promising. I havent uploaded much of the plot, as I have no idea how pwople will respond to this. While I will put the majorit of the writing, spriting, etc... on me, I am open to sugestions. Even if it doesn't work, I will be kind about it and see if I can give you some positive feed back or maybe a place where it would be more suited.

Thank you to all who use this web site and give me support when I ask dumb questions, "expect more" you guys are really great. I might release more bits and pieces of the plot as I make progress or recieve feed back.

Thank you Mirai Gamer and Studio Pixel.

your puns hurt me. But, so far so good I guess. It's an Idea, and this is the Ideas subforum.

Well I plan to make it a reality, but thank you. I still have to figure out some Cave Story scripting. "EX: typing out a piece of TSC perfectly and the game saying that there is an issue"

It's kinda sad that I know how to do most of the stuff that I wan't to do for this, but the stuff that I really need to do is beyond my knowledge.

"This looks pretty neato". The map-name text is really hard to read though.

Yeah, I didn't think about that while taking screen shots.

I had to replace the whole game file and start over because it had problems with TSC and would automaticly replace new pusic with old music. If I ever made a new map, it would be riddled with problems not normally there, so I trashed it. Thanks for the input, and I know that <END is a neccesity.

i don't use Sue's workshop, but When I originally created the game file I did. I thought that would be a mystery forever. Thank you. You have done well for using Sue's Workshop.

Hey, could someone check out this song.
I made a theme for the game, but when I listened to it, it sounded kinda like an ORG I had heard before.

It is meant to sound simple.
