Re: Smirky's and Keonig's Game design thread (TOP SECRET)

Well, not exactly what I had in mind but it is large! Essentially I was thinking an exaggerated version of the first hat.

[Koenig]

Question: Will their be any underwater ports or ruins the players can doc their subs at?

Oh... ok. I'll sketch it up and see how it turns out.

I didn't even think about underwater villages at first but now that sounds interesting. If there was I imagine the village/port being inside this giant bubble dome.

I am thinking less along the lines of ports, and more along the lines of ruins, caverns, and enemy bases (Story driven or otherwise)

That might actually work better. That underwater village might have potential, though I can see where it might get complicated.

Also the pic.

[Koenig]

I like it. The only major suggestion I have now is the addition of a goatee.

Also: One story element I would like to add is an Atlantis side story or the equivalent thereof. The ruins could only be reached by the use of a submarine, and subsequently part of complex would be air-tight for on foot portions.

Ok, I'll sketch that out quickly.

Hhmmm... When you say on foot, what do you mean? like on foot in the sub? or on foot like wearing a scuba suite on the ocean floor?

[Koenig]

I mean being able to dock or anchor, go on foot via diving suir, and access an a air-sustained section that acts like all other land.

[smirkytrick]

Okay, here is the Captain with the goatee. It's was the best I could do without it making it look like a tongue.

[Koenig]

Looks good. How large will the captain's body be? (And just about everyone else for that matter) I personally suggest taking a pseudo realistic approach to their designs.

I imagined him being tall and skinny. and can I see an example of what you mean by pseudo realistic?

[Koenig]

Think professor Layton. The basic body structure is accurate, but the proportions are slightly exaggerated to give each character a unique physique.

[smirkytrick]

Okay, here's what I got for the Captain so far.

[Koenig]

Looking good, though thighs, shoulders, and elbows could use a little work.

[Koenig]

Just as a heads up, I will probably not include Steamlords in your story, but I would like to develop a similar group that specializes in mechanical magic and have subsequently "Bound" a small floating island as their own. (Think a cross between a wizards tower and Laputa)

I'm ok with that. Nice imagery for the island.

Also here's the Capt. with improved hip, elbows, and shoulders

[Koenig]

The thighs look better, but the shoulders and elbows still seem a bit "uneasy". More or less, they look like they are being scewed somehow from the frontal view; normally it would be the side view where they would bend.

[Koenig]

I also wanted to create a somewhat quirky pirate group lead by an NPC named "Pink Beard". Do I have your approval to develop this character?

Go for it!

So, you're saying that the arms need to be straightened?

[Koenig]

Sweet. I honestly don't have much of a story for him at this point, but I do have a personality in mind. A dangerous yet exceedingly eccentric pirate. Easily distracted by aesthetic details and doing things in funny or silly ways. He could be on a treasure hunt only to get distracted by butterfly and subsequently attempt to catch them.

FUN FACT/IRONY: I am basing him on a running gag my friend and I had while playing a certain MMO in the past. (And by that I mean Runescape)

[smirkytrick]

LOL gotta watch out for those crazy runescape players. You know, the way you described pink beard kind reminds me of Nora from RWBY.

[Koenig]

I am drawing a blank on both accounts. Could you explain what game it is and the character?

RWBY is a animated series made by Monty Oum and the guys the made Red vs. Blue (aka Rooster Teeth).
Here's a episode that shows Nora in the very first scene.

Lol, that was entertaining. Anyways, my idea for Pink beard is much less hyper, but equally distractable. Think a cross between the "Quirky" attitude of Dr. Who and the masculine attitude of Mr.Torgue (Minus the ALL CAPS) wraped in the body of a pirate (With a Pink beard!)
