Yeah, one of a romantic nature, no doubt :lol:This might provide another resource for our robotic hero.

Ok I just can't keep it to myself anymore... I just have to see what you guys think of this afterthought of a sort of 'continuation' of my Robot story idea. Now keep in mind that the story will not unfold like this, you'll still have to discover who you are, whats going on and what happened to the assistant and these upgrades you were told about. It's just a behind the scenes 'whats actually happening' telling of the story.
Tell me if this sounds good.
Robot Prelogue:
You are a Prototype class of android robot that was created by an honest scientist that was hunted down and killed for his research. In an attempt to conceal his work from a corrupt organization hell bent for power, his prototypes and research was to be sent to his assistant in another part of the world. This convoy was intercepted and a battle ensured. One of the prototype androids was lost, but some of the good Doctor's work was taken by the attacking force.
The doctor's assistant in an attempt to take back the stollen research and to stop the evil commander he armed and completed a second android, with heavy assistance from some other colligues of the doctor's and his. They then planned an attack to retreive and destory any remaining stollen work. The plan failed and the battle was lost. The other android was taken studied and production of a robotic army was started. 10 solid years of quiet plotting and planning had ended, the evil force struck and battles insued for near 40 years. Nearly strained of resources the robotic army called the peace starved world for a truice, having taken enough of a chunk of the globe to satisfy it's self ...for now!
20 years later... today... you finally awake!
Gotten any further with this one Master WILL?

I tried to remember as much as I could, told it as a bedtime story for my 5 year old son. He loves that kind of stuff. I had to add a romance angle with a girlfriend robot as well though. And boxing. And a tiger. And Doc Ock.
hehe, I dont think that would work in a game lief WILL is not working on a soap
On the other hand, getting a tough of romance in a game might be way to get it played more by girls.
Oh wow. I'm flattered man! 5 year olds are always the toughest critics though, aren't they? :lol:
I had thought about a romance... I'll let you know if it gets me anywhere.
I wasn't really planning on having that much depth to this story. The game is more geared towards action than story. Just enough to make the point of all the laser blasts and explosions come alive.
Nothing much else on it though I guess if I start working on the actual game more I might come up with something.
1) Pure action game: something that could be cool is a top-down variant where you have to search various areas like in good old Rambo (iiihh.. I only played the green-black-colored game on the Spectrum) where you could scroll in all directions.. or like Ikari Warriors where it only scrolled vertically.. Wouldn't need much of depth in a story like that, and each stage could include some sort of goal (like rescue or finding upgrades and stuff)
And now.. Roboween 2005! (I'm kidding)
2) Robot-romance, now that would be funny. But it would be more of an adventure game I think.
Compability-issues there as everywhere else
COM-ports vs USB-ports
Ethernet vs Tokenring (talking about minorities.. hehe)
and so on.. "Check out the software/hardware on that one!"
Ro-Ro-Ro-Robot
Running to his girl
Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly
What a crazy world
Damn.. If I only knew how to create art
(oh wey, it went silly again)
