A new, improved plot for all to C&C! :P *pun*

This IS an IF game. I just can't draw feet. Or shoes. Bleh.

Game Name: Until the Dawn (I am but a slave, and many a skin I have to save)

NEW SPECIES: Esquan
Esquans are bear like creatures, probably an Anthromorph, and are just about less intelligent than the average human (needless to say, there will be one or two humans who are less intelligent than an Esquan. I can name a few.) They come in three main types:
Amazon - Ryruu is an Amazonian Esquan. They can climb, but prefer to stay on the ground. They have learnt how to use weapons against predators, but don't hunt, as they are mostly herbivores, although they can eat meat, like fish. These are brown, some with black.

Arctic - Kyra is an Arctic Esquan.  These white furred creatures thrive in cold, icy tundras, located where the sun shines least, at the two poles and the Desert Glaciers (Where there is ice so thick it cannot be melted.) These do eat meat, and can survive three weeks without food nor water. But that has happened only on rare occasions, as you just have to dig to find frozen fish where they live. They are either white or very light blue.

Desert - Juuten is a Desert Esquan. These have the least fur, and have wide feet to stop them sinking into the sand of the deserts. They also have padded hands, to stop themselves getting hurt while trying to sabotage cactuses and hunting prey. Of all the Esquans, these are the most diverse, as they can 'soak' up heat to use in the night, like a solar panel. They are mostly beige furred, but some are black.

Synopsis (I love that word ):
It is the year sometime in the future, where mankind has discovered how to travel deep into space and back again using The Infinity Theory. Fur has been made illegal to farm all across earth, since all furry animals (sparing hyenas) were hunted to exinction during the Fur Rush of 2009. So, one person, hungry for money, decided: "Illegal on earth, eh? What about on other planets?" and he found a loophole in the law.

Some time later, in the Amazonic forests of another planet:
Suddenly, from out of the sky came a giant flying ship, glowing in the midday suns. It landed mercilessly on one of our huts, and from the ship came an alien, dressed all in white. And he declared:
MN: Bow down to me! I am your god!
And he gave us a new holy book and commented on our silky fur. And as we opened the book, it read:
"Rule 1: Manage your fur in a proper way. NO dirt or stains shall be left on you.
Rule 2: Eat fish. It will help keep your fur nice.
Rule 3: Those who have the best fur will be rewarded, and taken to the fac... Better Place.
RULE 4: DISOBEDIENCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED."
He explained about the Beauty Pagent, and how the winner will be sent on 'holiday'. It all seemed so perfect. And since our last 'god' wanted to have sacrifices of consumables every day, We did adopt him. Later, a great flood wiped out most of our crops, but our God saved us from perishing by making fish out of thin air! And then, when wild animals attacked, he created coloured fire that lit up the sky, and it made noise like  a bird at first, and then it was louder than the loudest thunderoll. It scared us, and the animals daren't ever come back to us. Of course, we didn't know then what he was doing.



The Aftermath and Ryruu's conspiracy theory
It is the second morning in the day, and there is a congregation of three Amazonian Esquans round a wooden table. The eldest (EL) is tall, with worn eyes and a scowl to match. The youngest (YN) of them is small, with pigtails and a face that said: "I'm ready to cry at any moment." . The last, is Ryruu (RY). Eleven, brown, and he was picking at his plate, which contained only raw fish.

RY: I'm sick of this stuff. Why can't we have something else?
EL: Because its the Lore to have fish on a Tuesday.
RY: And every other day of the week.
YN: Daddy! Ryruu is disobeying the Lore again!
EL: Ryruu! I'm ashamed of you! If you don't eat your fish you won't have very good fur!
RY: Why do they want us to have good fur?
YN & EL: Its the Lore.
RY: But why is it the Lore?
YN: Shut up! You're going to get Him angry!
RY: I'm fed up of this! You're all so conformative!
EL: GET OUT! If you're not going to obey HIM, think about it and then change your mind! And don't come back until you've changed your mind!
Ryruu walks out of his house into the village, where some Esquans are constructing a crude statue of their 'God'
RY: Why? Why does he want us to be so vain? I must go see the wise Esquan. He'll know of this.

And, sure enough, the wise old Esquan did have some Earthly books that the 'God' had discarded. And what they told facinated and horrified Ryruu. But, alas, as they looked at each page, it crumbled to dust, as all badly made books do after years of neglect. It showed them fashion. What people were wearing, and to the horror of the two, this year, Esquan was in fashion.

What do you think?

I just found this post which was posted a year ago but got no replys.. (Unless they were deleted or something)

I was wondering If you were still gonna make this game or not as it sounds interesting...

I wouldn't have the 'Fur Rush of 2009' Its too close so if the game was done people playing it in 2010 would think it was stupid..

Although hope seems rare that you'll still make this

Now this, is cool. This is a cool plot storyline. I love it, go for it and I will totally play this game when done!

[Hollister Man]

Well, maybe 2009 isn't an earth year.  Yeah, like we'll have interplanetary poaching by 2009. lol

Seriously, though... nice storyline

Ooh, I remember this, not this post though, I remember you posting images of the different Esquans. They were really good! this story/plot would be totally awesome if you make it!

[Scavenger]

Whatthe? Somebody actually replied to this? Wow ^^. It's been some time since I posted this, yeah, and the story has been put on hold, since I wasn't able to create the right art I wanted. I was too ambitious back then. I hated making the animation. But... once I prove myself worthy of creating a game, I might start on this one. It'd be fun! Though, it's very unlikely I'll ever finish this one.

Oh, note. The story has changed dramatically since last year. But.. it's around here somewhere. I think.
