Space Guys: The Game
Space Guys: The Game
Yes, my first project is based off of a comic my brother makes, called "Space Juys[sic]". I decided, "hey, why not create a ZZT game starring them?" I was oh so wrong.
The Story:
It is the year 2025, and a new planet has been discovered--the planet "Traxxion IV". Two men have been assigned to explore this planet; the brave leader Commander Steve, and the incompetent lackey Lieutenant Joel. Those two men, and the spaceship driver Jack, are on their first mission outside our home galaxy!
However, something terrible happens just as they find Traxxion IV; their space shuttle is shot down by some Traxxian fighter planes, and the ship plummets to the planet's surface. The ship lands with a crash, and the three men are sent flying into the distance.
Lieutenant Joel wakes up, surrounded by Traxxian soldiers. He gets up and pulls out his blaster.
"Who are you?" Joel shouts as he aims his blaster at a soldier's head.
"Yark dorak slikk nakkh," one of the soldiers says as he pushes the barrel of his gun up against Joel's back.
"Speak English!" Joel yells as his finger starts to pull back the trigger.
"Ahem... We are the Traxxian soldiers," says a soldier, "and we have been ordered to arrest you for trespassing."
"We do not allow outsiders," says another soldier. "It is forbidden by the ki-" Suddenly, the soldier drops down, dead. Purple blood is on the ground, and a bunch of Traxxian Resistance Fighters pop out of the background and attack. Joel runs for cover, and in a matter of seconds, all the soldiers are dead. The Resistance walks over to Joel, who pulls out his blaster again.
"What do you want?" Joel yells, shaky and scared.
"We do not wish to harm you," says the head of the Resistance. " In fact, we wish to help you. We are the Resistance, a group of Traxxians who wish to overthrow our king. We saved you from the Royal Troops, and we-"
"Wait, wait, wait. Hold up," says Joel, putting away his blaster. "I'm not here to kill your leader! I'm just here to explore!"
"We know," says the leader. "We just saw your captain being hauled away by the Royal Guard while exploring."
"You mean Steve's been kidnapped?" Joel says, shocked.
"Yes, it appears so," says the leader. "However, if you help us, we can assure your leader's safety."
"Thanks... but what about Jack, the driver?" asks Joel.
"Oh, do not fret. We have him guarded while he tries to fix the ship. If any troops come, we can take care of them," says the leader. Joel sighs with relief.
"So," says Joel, "where is the king's castle?"
"To the north," says the leader, "but mind you, there are many trials."
"I think I can handle them," says Joel, as he runs into the distance, the Resistance watching him.
And so begins the saga of Joel as he searches through the planet Traxxion IV for his kidnapped commander.
Wow, that was long. If you read all of that, I'd be surprised.

ZZTers are used to reading long stuff. At least, the good ones are. Besides, it's not like it was as long as this thread.
Expand on the plot a little more, add good gameplay, and you'd have a good game.

Just a note: this game is not supposed to be that serious. I just made the story seem serious by accident. Just understand this when I upload the beta, which may be in a month or so. Also, expect SOME German in there. I don't know why.
