Hey, /tv/I'm working on a vidya game, but for the sake of this thread. It's character related question. Since alot of this translates to vidya game.What are the quintessential kino characters you would like to see more of in film?>My plot is mining ship with a large crew onboard, docking with a space tether in a remote system the ship has FTL not suppose to, they find the administration staff for colonial and marshal no where to be seen, a second ship docked but nobody on board and the ship scuttle with the inside effectively slagged, the whole counterweight is seemly abandon there's blood trails everywhere and drag marks a lot of the counterweight been damage by small arms fire.The mining ship captain would call crewmen who are known to have firearms to form a party to go down to the surface since colony isn't responding, when the team with firearms goes down they'd disappear leading to a second team and lockdown of the ship.We'd find the colony in total disrray as most of the colony has experience a 90% death rate among the colonist with cyborgs built from their corpses roaming the halls using tools, guns, etc, majority of the colony is locked down, part of the colony doesn't even know what's happening.when you go back to your ship, to report, the ship is seemly abandon, nobody is there but fresh blood trails, and you'd find out this now onboard your ship and the tether, harvasting parts, and crew, navy destroyer would appear with a special team designed for alien encounters and from there it would mirror something akin to aliens denial of assets and recovery of colonist if alive and your crew.
bump for interest
story based games are so gay. I'd rather just read a book or watch a movie if I wanted to consume someone elses story. good games let you make your own.anyways if you want to succeed in game design you should be crunching coding or at least AI assisted coding and getting a playable skeleton up. story and gay shit like that is stuff you can add after you have something to work with. you can hum tunes in your head all day but if you don't know how to use a DAW or a four track recorder you ain't gonna make a song
>>221385276Dont listen to this dorkasaurus rex, people live heavy story based games. 2 best friends playing through police nautical is awesome. The first 3 silent hills are pinnacles of storytelling. I liked fear effect and loved/ hated how abstract the puzzles were.
>>221385276relax retard
>>221385400>>221385427OP can fantasize about his big epic video game all he wants and it won't do a single damned thing about getting it done. I used to be like that and I used to not get shit done. I'm giving him good advice you little butt fucking children
>>221385276>>221385276Rather than completely ignore the fucking question, let's talk about a quintessential kino character arc type that i think OP should have in his movie/game.THE BONUS SITUATION.>NO YOUR GAME MUST HAVE GAME DESIGNBut we haven't talked about the BONUS SITUATIONYeahBonus situation.
>>221385746Right.
>>221385490Yes. Practical programming should be a task of importance but saying there is no audience for story based games is an outright lie. Disco elysium was game of the year!
Check out the plot of Homeworld Cataclysm. I think you might find some inspiration there
>>221385276I have the perfect character in mind for his captain.
>What are the quintessential kino characters you would like to see more of in film?Badass racist characters like Merle Dixon
>>221385792Comes back to the ship, everyone gone you go to see the captain. Here's my ID and you can see yourself out.
>>221385016my eyes glazed over trying to read this. maybe this set up will work better in your game world but you're not an engaging writer at allwhat was the question anyway
>>221385800>Merle DixonThat actually would make anons world stand out, if you've got the racist just calling anyone who is a half breed a mongoloid
>>221385823Characters you would like to see. Project 2525 from ghost in the shell is an awesome character.
>>221385823"What are the quintessential kino characters you would like to see more of in film?"
>>221385016I like scumbag characters like Snake Plissken who, in any other story, would be the antagonist.
Look fellows, I've had an incredibly bad day today.
>>221385841>Characters you would like to see.>>221385850>"What are the quintessential kino characters you would like to see more of in film?"thats kind of a strange way to scaffold a narrative. you should be deciding on the kind of story you're telling and then build characters that have qualities that drive that story. the personality of a character is a toolset for motivating the storywhen you do it backwards, you end up with characters you want to exist but who don't exist for a purpose. you end up shoe-horning in bad characters into story beats that don't make sense for them
>>221385016We need more of thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sFd8aWT7Io
>>221385883Good thing OP wasn't asking for a screenwriting lecture, then.The question wasn't "How do I structure OP narrative?" It was "What kinds of characters would you like to see more of?" If you don't want to answer that, you can just say so instead of pretending the premise of the thread is backwards.
>>221385883>>221385916Both of you are technically correct, the best kind of correct!
>>221385774I didn't say there is no demand. I said story games are fucking gay. there is plenty of demand for gay shit among women and faggots. doesn't make it not gay.
Waking up, Should have something akin to this.
>>221385948You are a dullard if you cant appreciate policenauts and disco elysium! I've said my piece!
>>221385016I'm gonna complete my dream game before you do, wanna bet?
If your adding a army type then i would highly recommend using someone like this, they aren't in this alien encounter business for the fun it.They are simply there to get paid and for the hunt.
>>221386002He is literally there for the fun of it!
LET ME IN YOUR GAME
>>221386002>Peter, if you want me to run your little camping trip, there are two conditions: firstly, I'm in charge, and when I'm not around, Dieter is. All you need to do is sign the checks, tell us we're doing a good job, and open your case of Scotch when we have a good day. Second condition: my fee? You can keep it. All I want in exchange for my services is the right to hunt one of the tyrannosaurs. A male, a buck only. How and why are my business. Now if you don't like either of those two conditions, you're on your own. So go ahead, set up base camp right here, or in a swamp, or in the middle of a Rex nest for all I care. But I've been on too many safaris with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas, OK?The most kino guy there is
Listen, I know the colony has a minor outbreak and a few people have been killed but everything is still under control.
The reactor has broken down? this man is sick take him to the medical wing
>>221386038Very badass! Shame I never saw 2 or 3 except for bits and pieces. The most memorable thing about the lost world we're the promotional Popsicles that tasted funny and were 5 dollars!
My men and me have been fighting theses things for 28 days, jim.
RAT EYES
>>221385016>We'd find the colony in total disrray as most of the colony has experience a 90% death rate among the colonist with cyborgs built from their corpses roaming the halls using tools, guns, etc, majority of the colony is locked down, part of the colony doesn't even know what's happeningYou would do the same in this situation.
Isn't it obvious if you have a snake type from escape from new york and Roland type then you need a dizz type
>plot>charactersYou have no interest in making a game but in using the medium as a trojan horse.
>>221386569She is so hot in that uniform. It was hilarious how Donnie wahlberg wouldn't stop gushing about her in the dvd commentary for saw 2. A must listen to.
>>221386569So do you put out?
>>221385746THE BONUS SITUATION
>>221385829That type would be perfect to pair with something like this, I can just imagine it.>Yeah, Hey footstool get your ass over here we need you in that vent pronto
>>221385016So what type of jack?
please include a cute android/cyborg girl
>>221386792Can't you suggest it?
>>221386792
Canonically this and she's a marine, I'll take therapist
Here's your marine science individual
A White character who unapologetically purges all nonWhite characters for reasons that are totally justified.
You would want someone to tell you not to go down that road, when insulating you make them overly tall and strong
>>221388303Friendly fire incident record is 80% higher than your squad mind explaining why?
>>221388319Excuse me?
>>221386018Those scared little bitches didn't have the guts
>>221385788Seconded.CUT US LOOSE
>>221385016So Dead Space? From a cursory glance you're talking about Dead Space.
>>221385016pew pewpew pew pew
>>221389340Make us whole
>>221385016>I'm working on a vidya gamepost pics or fuck off
