When I was in middle school I created a short mystery series about an amatur detective named Jon Arc, who worked freenlance, the first story was a case where he was called to a musem to help with threaths that the artwork would be stolen and if anyone tried to stop them they'd be killed. If i could get people to help make a game:
the events of the game would take place during the course of a week as Jon goes to a gathering of people who go to see the new exibits and artwork at the meusem, the local bar, the park and other locals of Carson City. but once a guest is murdered everyone is shocked, coincidently enough Jon runs into a rival freelance detective named Avon Williams. So of course Jon has to catch the murderer before he gets killed, who could it be, the trampy wife of the mesuem owner, the security guard, janitor, or could it even be Avon?
one by one the people who attended the party are murdered, by diffrent methods, drugs, hit and run, shot, strangled, and even bashed in the head with a hammer.
"Jon Arc: Muesum Of The Dead"
The big diffrence in my original story and the game plot is that Jon was a teenager in the orignal he will be in his twenties in the game, also it should be noted that he is homosexual but isn't flamboyant or anything. I had written three stories revolving around him and his mystery solving, I've been brain storming alot and I'm really trying to give it a shot at writing a good game and some good dialouge and letting a group of people take a crack at it.
I plan on improving the storyline and all because I'm now a senior in highschool and have some better knowledgew of suspense. This idea means alot to me. And I hope it peaks someones interest.
Another diffrence is that I'm rewriting my orginal story and adding some reaccuring characters, Jon's close friends, Asia Rene who is a beautiful and younger journalist for the Carson City Times, Tyree Wilson the owner of a gay bar that Jon always hangs out at, that gives him dating advice *he's straight*. Avon is actually new as well, and my idea for him is that he keeps getting in Jon's way and the two eventually become lovers
You don't seem to be asking for any kind of input or feedback on your story so, unless you want critique I'll have to move this.

It's a great ambition, but understand that many people on the forum are extremely wary of profiles which state "I haven't yet worked on any finished games.", and this is for a good reason. If you'd like help, it would be a good idea to develop something a bit more concrete than a short summary of the story in your game. A story is but a small slice of a complete game project. I know you might have every intention of completing a big project, but it might be wise to start with a training game first. You can find stories of heartbreak all over the forum from people involved with projects that end up falling short.
Please understand that I have no intention of discouraging you from proceeding with your project, I love any enthusiastic development in the community. Still, if you'd like help, it might be wise to come back later with art, music, a complete story/script, code, and anything else you can possibly bring to the table.
