With alacrity needed in my predicant an imdiate search of my mind's data banks was required. I had played many popular and great gas. God of War Series, Fallout, Minecraft, Call of Duty, Baldurs Gate Series, Divinity Original Sin, Dota 2, Starcraft III, World of Warcraft, Star wars Battlefront, League of Legends, Path of Exile 1 and 2 and many, many more.
But, from what I could gather, my points wouldn't allow for overly complex gas to be made. There were hundreds of sections for gas and many were way out of my budget. As it was, creating a sothing like Minecraft alpha version would cost all the points at my fingertips. So it ca down to so more simplistic choices... Potentially expanding the concepts of this gas to a more first-person-like experience. I liked those types of gas.
First that ca to mind was sothing akin to Arma 1 where you could play basic missions as soldiers or military personnel of so kind. There were missions that I could add and it would be enjoyable to all the n and won who liked shit blowing up and the military industrial complex.
The next was Fallout 1, a top down controlled turn-based ga that was based around an apocalyptic world sourced from World War 3. Making a top down wasn't in my plans but this ga would allow so massive extensions if I wanted to go down this route...
The last idea I had was Minecraft, my last resort. Since it would cost all of my points it would leave very little margin of error for . Given the fact I didn't understand who I am selling to or where I was selling it, this was a gamble that was too far out of odds. But, in a pinch it could work, with luck.
It was the sa for the rest, but Minecraft was the most difficult to sell in its Alpha form.
|Hint 122- All gas made by the user will be turned into a Virtual reality experience. Mobas or Top Down RPGs will change to embrace this aspect.|
Shocked at this hint I had just seen whilst scrolling down the page, I began taking a look down the ga-style list within the creator app.
-First Person Shooter (Cutting Edge of Earth): 13,000,000 Points
-MMO RPG (Cutting Edge of Earth): 12,000,000 Points
-MMO TTRPG (Cutting Edge of Earth): 11,000,000 Points
'Too expensive.'
-Sandbox (Basic): 1,000 Points
-Open World RPG (Basic): 800 Points
- Moba (Primitive): 400 Points
"Hmm! Open World RPG would be the best... I get the basic layout for a ga like fallout and can then invest 100 points into enhancing it to be unique!"
I didn't hesitate to buy the Open World RPG ga system for my new ga. Imdiately the screen filled with hundreds if not thousands of assets and voice lines. As if the system had pulled the ideas and mories from my mind, each and every aspect of the basic ga had been implented in a basic form. Styled after Fallout completely and what i perceived of them, I saw assets for Mr.Handy robots and multiple different figures. They were all pixelated to a certain extent but were good enough to serve their purpose.
I loved the Fallout series and its grim but funny nature. Exploring the grittiness whilst eting unique characters that had drama or storyline to every interaction was aweso. Not to ntion the importance of every choice you make impacting the endga result... It was a masterful way of making your work feel real. eting certain character from Shady Sands or wandering the wastes for different Vaults from Vault tech, it was really aweso. I was kinda pumped that i was going to be the one shaping this ga, since it kicked off Fallout 2, 3 and 4.
Checking the dialogues and ending options I checked the basic chanical systems: movent, equipnt, status sheet, Stats, Conditions, Damage, Healing, Crafting and Scavenging/Looting. They were well-done if a bit dated, but given the fact that this was a VR experience I was hoping it would offset so of the dated elents. Luckily there was an expansive map though, a unique aspect that made the ga aweso for when it was released. It was a touch and travel type style map, sadly a bit bland for adventure, but that would quickly be filled by the unique locations and storyline. Fallout 4 was a good example of the fun one could have whilst exploring, but this ga was more an establishnt of the lore, the setting, the characters all whilst being a fun choose your story type ga.
'Bethesda may have turned to shit over ti, but I swear I'll bring this ga justice! No money exploitation or shitty loot boxes or gambling. Everything will be earned with gaplay, which still earns points!'
Enthralled by the prospect of being a moral ga maker and with 100 points left in my budget; the extra 100 being kept aside, I decided to upgrade the visuals. They would beco more coherent and appealing, allowing people to actually see the faces of the characters. Although this cost around 50 points, as all of the assets were modified to match what i wanted in my mind, it was worth every penny as they looked much more akin to Humans than glorified colour splotches now.
Left with 50 points though, I decided to expand upon the details of the terrain and maps. Considering people were going to be in Virtual Reality, it figures that a more detailed environnt would be better for the senses. Plus, given my new goal to be an ethical ga-maker, it could also aid the reputation of the ga since people spoke a lot about graphics in the gaming community.
After these major decisions ca the slog. I was deep down in the details with the system for several hours, my stomach groaning away as coding errors and small incoherencies were hatefully fixed, only to make way for bugs that also needed to be cleansed. Unfortunately my extra 100 points was drained also, the problems potentially killing the ga, leading to make that decision...
Slumping back in my chair I looked outside the window, watching people live their lives contently. Helicopters flew in the skies as hundreds or thousands of cars drove around the grid-like streets of this city. The scape itself was unfamiliar to , but that was charming as the mystery of it sent butterflies up my stomach at the prospect of discovering its identity... Once I was allowed out of here and I survived.
"Alright... Enough procrastination Freya, you got this!"
Rubbing my eyes and leaning forwards I stared at the screen, moused my way down until I noted a large throbbing red button at the bottom of the screen. This would determine my fate. No doubt I would kill myself before I starved so this was my only chance. Gurgling from my stomach harassed until my index finger slamd down on the [Launch] button.
----------------------------
Across the entire world, in but a millisecond of hitting that button, a ga seemingly appeared from nowhere, on every online ga store. Steam, Epic Gas, Amazon... all of them suddenly had a ga appear on their sales list, towards the top of the 'New Gas' category.
...
And in an unclean den sowhere in the world, a sloppily dressed and slightly moody teenager was scrolling through one of the most popular online ga stores in the world... Steam...
'All these gas are boring... Its' just more and more war gas and historical gas.'
His scrolling continued for minutes as his face grew more and more pathetic. He was succumbing to boredom and his own limited attention span. Endless lists of scams and very bad family gas weren't itching that scratch that gnawed at the back of his mind.
Over pay to win gas and terrible reimaginings of history, he was delving for sothing new, sothing unique... Anything to break his day's monotony and his dad's constant grumbling and broodiness.
This cycle of thinly veiled boredom was close to coming to an end as he looked at the 'For Him' nu, noticing nothing even remotely intriguing. And just as he was close to giving up all hope, sothing drew him to the shining button of the New Gas tab. Tiredness almost got to him, but he deigned to hang around for a few seconds more, all in the hopes of finding sothing to do apart from speaking with his dad.
Scrolling down for a single second, seeing the sheer amount of WW2 gas and varying small fighting gas, he stopped. There was one ga there that made him stop...
Damian was utterly intrigued by this ga. It had an armoured man with a draconian red background, presumably, gazing into the distance as a nuclear blast exploded in the background, the simple title of 'Fallout' given to it. Mildly interested in this little ga, he clicked on it.
No images or footage was taken, there was no text... Just a simple purchase button. It was $15, but that was pennies in comparison to his family's fortune, or the one he could easily get himself. Mystery was exuding from this ga in droves, an aspect that he liked being as intelligent as he was.
"Okay, i see your ploy... Let's see how your ga is."
He clicked and bought the ga, using his dad's credit card. Then, after a quick install, he started it up...
Everything went blank for Damian as he heard the squeaking of rats and the slls of rot and decay. Darkness covered his vision for the most part, but what most threw him off was the clinging clothes he now wore and the thick pixelated device that rested on his arm snuggly.
"What the fuck?"
