If anyone's checked out any of my pixelart threads you've probably heard me mention i'm working on a game. Everythings going pretty great except I can't flesh out my plot for the life of me. And until then I can't decide what graphics i need to do and where everything goes so the game is pretty much on a standstill. I am taking a lot of inspiration from earthbound and mother 3 in terms of story.
Here's what I have so far.
You're a young boy, living in a house on the edge of a village.
You wake up one night to a loud thump and bright lights outside your room (think alien abduction movies), you look out your window but you can't distinguish anything, so you go back to bed.
You wake up the next morning and look out your window to see a bunch of really buff men, glistening shirtless or in overalls, digging a big hole in your backyard. (this may go on for a few days or may not, i haven't decided) But you eventually go out there to confront them and see them all jump down the hole. You go over to look into the hole, but trip and fall in, landing at the bottom of a really deep pit unconscious.
Now your goal is to get out of the hole, while all the time wondering why the buff men dug such a big hole in your backyard.
That's what i have so far
As for characters
Noname main character-boy, has stretchy arms to punch, wears colorful clothes, doesn't talk
Buff men-buff, big,
Dirty blind man-a man who you see periodically throughout the game who is attempting to dig to china, but unfortunately he is blind so he can't find his way. He acts as a save point
BandA band that has also had the same misfortune of falling into a hole as you. One night they were jamming too hard and the ground beneath them collapsed, landing them underground.
And thats what i've got. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas it would be very much appreciated, i was not going to post, but i've been stuck with writers block trying to figure out this plot for over 4 months now and it's driving me mad how i'm not getting anywhere! Thanks a bunch everyone!
I'm mainly trying to figure out what the buff men could be up to building such a hole and what the whole storys going to become after "get out of the pit"
