|
|
After realizing my projects were going absolutely nowhere, and my adolescent mind is too unstable to easily stay focused on a big project without help or reminders, I decided to help other people make their own games.
I recently joined forces with a group of either insane or simply stupid middleschooled fools, because they were the only people I knew who wanted to make a game and were in desperate need of help if they were planning on getting any work done. As desperate as they were to make a book, an anime series, a movie, and a FPS from Bungie with their first project, I managed to convince them to start out with something simple and make, say, a simple computer game with a simple story, simple graphics, simple music, etcetera.
Naturally, they are quite convinced that the first project will be as revolutionary to the gaming world as Half-Life, as they are, as I mentioned before, stupid or even insane, and they are also convinced that I am a genius and could make such a game single handedly. They have tried something like this before, and gave up every time. One tried to write a novel, but couldn't get past the first page. Another tried to make a game, and couldn't get past a concept for the title screen. Yet another attempted an anime series, and couldn't get past his decision on who he could get to draw it. I was impressed with the amazing volley of ideas this project recieved, however. Little of it was of any relevence, naturally, but the ideas were there.
The plot they came up with is so wierd I can't decide if it is pure genius or absolute childish idiocy, but whatever it is it is promising as a first project.
Basically, in the distant future (about fourty years from now, which is pretty distant as far as the aforementioned children are concerned) Hitler is reborn, and is, naturally, named Hitler. He then goes to Russia and organizes the Nazis, and takes over the world. Hitler also has three sons, which go and singlehandedly take over the Whitehouse. By the year 2088, Hitler is killed, but the Nazis still rule, and his sons are still in controll over the Whitehouse. Two years later, two children are born at the exact same time and have superpowers, but if they get together something terrible will happen. Hitler's sons learn about them, and go out to kill them, even though they have never even seen pictures of them. Also, the two with superpowers, now about fifteen and know as "Power Children," must kill them, thus ending the Nazi reign of power.
And there are dragons. And aliens. And everything else the wee folk think make games cool. It's all pretty random and wierd, but I figured it's better to actually finish a project and it be stupid than to never finish one at all. Anyway, it wold be nice to have some input, because the wee folk have been at it for a full three days and are probobly ready for their next project. |

I know what you mean by either pure genius or childish idiocy.
I find the concept almost exactly like an anime show. Strangly unique, yet scarily obvious. I think it sounds like an amazing idea, but one hard to work on. _________________ A man once said to the Universe "Sir! I exist!"

Wait, why would Hitler go to Russia to organize Nazis?
Not much of this idea makes sense or sounds like it would make a good story. If you were an extremely good writer and made it into some kind of crazy comedy/parody or something, maybe it would work. It would never work as a serious story though. |

Anime shows can be extreamly like this, PCH. Something so austoundingly obvious that it is unique. Of course, this is mad generalzation. _________________ A man once said to the Universe "Sir! I exist!"

I would be much more interested in playing a game AS Hitler, leading his generals and armies into battle The United Kingdom AND the Soviet Union. There'd be lots of crazy stuff like resource distribution, tactical decision making, and of course maintaining control over your own people. OR I could just go play Axis & Allies and get something of the same effect. |
