Comment on Premises for the Game Story – What Do Y’all Think by Targiet

Great, now i want to play all 4 stories…
they all sound good although I personally like the sound of 1 and 4 but I like 3 the best. Lot’s of room to manuver with that one and you don’t have to worry about the hassel of writing “why are the characters going here and why are they trying to save the galaxy other than just because they can?” since it would be their Job to be save the day and to throw themselves into life threatening danger.

If you can’t decide on which one to use you could always throw them all in there, one for each main character or back ground story for characters you pick up. or even npc back story

Or (assuming you are wanting to make it really complicated) let the player choose his pick at the begining of the game like one of those high and fancy Choose your own Story line type games. But, that’s up to you.

There’s a pretty good chance that they’ll make an appearance. I’m still trying to decide on story ideas but I’d like to include the TFR game in some way

I wonder, is there any chance at all that the TFR gang could get a cameo in the game, even if they only appear as nameless faces in a terrified crowd running from what ever giant monsters/ alien invaders/ killer clowns are rampaging through the city?

Haha Yeah. It’s really improved a lot since then. Most the features I mentioned are add-ons that fans have made in the game’s scripting language which allows users to change nearly every aspect of the game.

If nothing else it’s really fun to use and make games.

And yeah, it is scary how this technology is. I heard that there’s a PS4 coming out soon. That’s scary. My sister only just got a PS3 and now it’s gonna be out of date. Crazy newfangled technology.

Heh, i remember RPG Maker. I still have the first one for my old PS1. That’s right all you modern gamering geeks, there was a Playstation 1 at one point. Scary ain’t it?

Seems like RPG Maker really improved upon their games since then.

Thanks! Yeah, I admit that for me the cute little low res graphics is not my usual sort of thing. I tend to go for anything with stellar graphics. But since I’m working on my own little game and I want to finish it sometime this year, then I should stay simple. I really want to do pre-rendered 3d graphics and a point and click adventure game, but I’d better stick with this first. Today RPG Maker, tomorrow the WORLD! haha

Sounds nice . Looks nice too . Not my usual favourite sort of fare, but well worth checking out in time.

Hang in there, and have fun!

Hi DH and Targiet! Nice to hear from you. I’m glad you’re enjoying the little LFTV strips. I only had a few that I did and then ran out of story ideas. But at least it’s something.

As for my game, I FINALLY came up with a short story I like. It’s so far got potential for good character development and an interesting story. It’s not TFR but another version of a LFTV story. The nice thing about the title Legends from the Void is that it encompasses all kinds of scifi stories.

I also really want to rewrite TFR and strengthen the story and characters and make a single graphic novel with the whole story. That’s my other project I’ve been playing with.

I’ve mostly been studying writing and creating stronger characters with not only an A Plot that’s the main physical story, but a strong B Plot that’s the main character’s inner growth or “spiritual” journey.

As for the game engine it’s basically done. My big hold up has been writing a good story that I like. But I think I’m on the right path to make a good one.

TFR was one of the comics that got me hooked on webcomics. The comic had good art work, a strong cast, and a sense of feel good humor that made you come back for more so It does the heart good to see new comics on the TFR site again. Even if they arn’t actually new and technically they arn’t TFR, but still…

I look forward to seeing more TFR or LFTV in the future, whether they be in comic or vidiot game form.

Came here on a lark, wondered what’s been going on. How did the game idea turn out?
