Create-A-Game I Year 2007

[stof]

Ok, so I've actually become quite interested in my game idea, and have been putting a lot of thought into it recently. So I'm going to make regular additions to flesh out the whole game.

As I said earlier, after the tree, Harjit will have 3 places he'll want to go. You'll know this because he'll say so. Instead of having a Navi, Carth Onassi or Pey'j, you'll guide will be you. Harjit will talk to himself, but in that knowing way that he's really telling you what to do. He'll say things like "I might as well go to the Hospital now... It's not like anything else is going to happen till I do!"

Ok, so the three areas can be visited in any order you like. The Hospital, Police Department or School Labs will all have minor story and gameplay elements. The police station will be overrun with odd calls, the Hospital will have an emergency room full of people with... peculiar emergencies, and the School will be your typical University (already weird)

After visiting each place, you'll notice small changes around the city. Changes like Tree's beginning to poke up through the sidewalks and the occasional dog walking on his hind legs. But the big changes come after you've visited all three.

After completing these areas, the first major world changing event occurs. While walking down the main city street, your character pauses to look at the clouds over head. One storm cloud in particular is blowing across the sky, until it catches on a buildings satalite array. The cloud tugs at the array, causing it to snap and fall off into the streets below. It also causes the cloud to careen into another building. Wedged into the building, it begins storming and shooting lightning at civilians.

With no one willing to go into the building, it's up to you to enter it, take the elevator up to the cloud's floor, and begin the first mini dungeon. The cloud!

The cloud will be a foggy all white level full of moving platforms, shrowded pitfalls, and an ominous voice that taunts you as you play. enemies inside will include birds, angry raindrops and bullets; All the bullets fired at the sky from Starter pistols.

At the end of the level, you confront the ominous voice and the cause of all the lightning. Balloons! A tangled mass of half deflated balloons. Every balloon ever let go by children at parties, or couples at carnivals. After the boss fight (turn up your sound system and revel in all the popping noises!), you'll recieve a brand new item.

Your kite. The same kite that you lost 8 years ago when your sister cut the string on you. Combining the Kite with your tree branch whip, you can use it as a wind sail, allowing you to get around town quickly on a skate board, or take very long jumps (from roof top to roof top if you're good enough)

As for the cloud itself. The lightning will stop, but the cloud will remain protruding from the building, always raining. As the game goes on, you'll eventually see people playing underneath it in the day, and maybe, on a certain night, you might even see someone "singing in the rain"

Also, with the cloud safe, Other people will enter it, including a group that is able to get part of it flying again. They'll turn it into a cloud ship that flies around the city. And if you're close enough, you'll always be able to join them for a bit. The cloud ship will be an eye in the sky for you (Hey Harjit, you really should see the Coral Reef that sprung up out of the fountain in the park!), and will occasionally take you to your next crisis "The Animals have staged a coup at the Zoo! We need to rescue the human staff"

That's all for now. Later we'll visit that Zoo, The park, Amusement Park, town pool and many other places. And don't forge the gang you ran into at the beginning of the game. I havea feeling that they've been adapting to their new world as well.
