Story/ character help

[Stelth]

firstly Im not too sure if this question belongs here, but I couldnt think of anywhere else it should go, so please dont castrate me!

Ive just made all this one big level, which is all I wanted to do originally but now I want to make a game out of it, but cant for the life of me think of a storyline (usually im pretty creative but yeah) so if any of you could give me sources for inspiration? or anything else that could help.

Thanks for your time.

how about some background on what you've got. who are the characters where are they what are they doing

then we can help

If you want specific ideas for the game yeah, we're gonna need some more information.

If you're looking for inspiration to get ideas flowing ...

What I do (sometimes) is I watch the special features on my Lord of the Rings DVDs (now including the Two Towers) or other movies that feature how the creativity was done.

Or I listen to music that I find inspiring.

I also have parts of books that I know are great and I will re-read them just to get me inspired.

These things get my creativity flowing and help me get motivated!

Hope that helps!

When writing comedies, I try and think of something that makes me laugh out loud.

I think one of the hardest things anyone can do is try and make themselves laugh out loudly with no one else in a room.

Usually, we tell jokes to each other and not to ourselves, so we laugh less when we think of a joke.

Also, I get all my best ideas while in the shower.

Ive got some ideas flowing now- theres nothing like staring into space at work to get the ideas rolling. Lets just hope I can stick to it.....
The level was just one big city where you travel by car to different location off a map (sam and max hit the road style) its quite a scummy/dirty place so Im thinking along the lines of private detective or even something more original, ill rabbit on more when Ive got more done.

thanks for all your help.

p.s Mr collossal - 6 day assassin was awesome...
