General Discussion / Revival of the dead myths
« on: June 10, 2011, 04:14:07 am »
You people on here seem to be pretty knowledgeable so I was hoping you'd all be able to help me out with a little problem.
I'm working on a game in which a person is trying to bring back his wife from the dead. Ive been looking for mythology or just interesting ways to go about bringing someone back to life but have found next to nothing.
You guys be able to help me out?

Yeah that really helped! and i really love crazy ideas like that! I had one before, that the buff men would be digging to the center of the earth to use the core down there as a source for their new sauna, under the logic that"the more steam and the hotter the better" haha I still can't decide what to go with there are so many good ideas!

Have fun! It's like a better cavestory!
So im thinking of taking your idea for the whole underground city thing that maybe the buff men came from
I was thinking that the buff men are from some sort of nearly extinct race of humans that got out of control and killed eachother off, then when most of them were dead they realized what they had done and decided to try to do humans right, which is what your timid calm people living on the surface are from? What does everyone think?

Wow! Thanks so much! That is very good, im not sure how much of that I will use but at least a good bit! I really do like that assets pun too haha. I think i want my game to be a bit more emotional i guess? If i can pull that off, but this is all very good! Also you really really need to play mother 3. It's actually the best game. Like it's so damn good

Yeah simple would probably be best! I'm not too fond of the whole 'get an artifact' just because every game seems to do that, and it has to be personal enough for the main character to go back into the pit to fight them. Yeah i do need a turning point though, hmm

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

Band
A 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"
