light and dark game idea

[firelord]

this is the new title i have decided on for my new game idea.i was going to do the normal sci fi type game and posted my idea on the forum and ltforce said good idea but nothing original so i have come up with this. like my sci fi game it will be 3rd person.
the story:
since the beginning of time there has been battles between good and evil both in the real world and the after life.
when the good die they goto a place of peace called the light but when the evil among us die they goto the darkness a place filled with violence and pain,the darkness is controlled by an elder one known as Rasma who was banished by the other gods millions of years ago to the darkness as punishment for causing a war between the gods.Rasma and his army where cursed to a life with know peace.but Rasma has found away back to the light by going to a planet called Tia and becoming mortal on this planet and then when he dies he will once again cause a war among the gods one last time in the afterlife. Rasma's army will slowly follow there leader to the planet Tia.
the elder gods have found Rasma's plan and have sent you to destroy Rasma and his army of evil on the planet Tia.
thats as far as i have got.
know idea on missions and such things yet.but my imagination is my only weakness

[jonas]

That's a very interesting idea. Are both sides armies made up of humans or someother form, since you said this is after death? Missions really could depend, on what type of game you choose. strategy you could make the player have to go against different forces of Rasma's army. Sorry I my imagination isn't too great either so I have no ideas for first person, or third.

[firelord]

no one side is of human type but not from earth the people from the light. the other are a mutation of human type because of the curse put on them and there from the darknsess.

hmm..... as a game designer you have to answer these questions
Who are you? (the player)
Why you? (the player. Why did the gods send you?)

[firelord]

thanks darksmaster
i think the player should be a warrior for the gods born onto the planet to protect the way to the afterlife.you where trained by the warrior god Dragor
in stealth and weapons tactics maybe a special power like the ability to move through time or to transform your self invisible for short periods of time like a cloaking device the aim of the game would be to imprison Rasma by destroying his army and by capturing Rasma(do this by taking his health to zero)and then you send him to limbo. a place in the middle of know where and escape is impossible.
any ideas would be welcome for my game welcome
thanks firelord

[firelord]

do not know whether to do an inside level or outside level.
maybe a mixture of both
could do with some ideas for missions for my game
thanks rf forum

[firelord]

im still stuck on the missions for this game
need some ideas for the story and any ideas welcome

[LtForce]

Sorry for replying only now but you story rocks! I think main char should be hald god half human(think Hercules). First you got to destroy Rasma and then his army arrives and realises he's not there and then(I got it in front of my eyes ) suicidical attack begins.

BTW, there's this politician in our country with surname Rasma. He's total communist and he has made alot of bad stuff. I think you mean planet Earth not Tia. OMG we're all going to die!!!!

[firelord]

no way you have a political person called rasma i never knew that lol
for missions going have to read some sci fi books for ideas
if any one has ideas for actual levels would be most welcome
thanks firelord

look at other light vs dark games (like metroid prime 2) and try to get attention by going the complete opposite way from what people would expect, it keeps your game from being steriotyped and it keeps people coming since it's totally original.

[firelord]

i like some of your ideas
my idea was to kill rasma to send him to limbo then you would have to maybe you find the portal rasma used to get to the darkness goto the darkness set some sort of bomb escape back through the portal and then blow up the portal so no one could come through
what do you think

[Agentarrow]

It's really cool, but I think it would be cool if you had, instead of a bomb, you carry the light with you and flood the dark world with light so that the ties holding the worlds apart break and the worlds become one world.

[firelord]

nice idea agentarrow that could be a good ending for the game which could lead to the next game where the fight becomes on the one plane both light and dark fight for last existance of the afterlife
thanks anyone else have any ideas maybe for missions within the game
would be most welcome

[darksmaster923]

a stealth level. For stealth bunny

[Agentarrow]

There should be a level where almost all light is extinguished and you have to re-light the light world. This should be the last set of levels before the end level
