STORY
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to present to you MARK CHAIRGUY, a perfectly abnormal guy, with avearage job. He likes to have fun, but the only problem is, he doesn't have any.
It's summer, and he's on vacation at home. He's bored out of his skull. But one morning, when he was on the way to the local store, FBI car stops in front of him, people in suits jump out and put him in the car. Later, he finds out it was a case of mistaken identity... But since it's too late to look for a real agent, and the agent they were looking in a first place turns out to be dead, they have no choice but to send Mark on his first mission. Unfortunatly, life of an agent is not an easy one, so you'll be experiencing a lots of weird stuff.

"Replacement"-need someone to animate characters

@Petra, thanks a lot, it sounds so great from someone with so much experience!

@Skaterix, yes, of course they're all in-game(except for rhe store, that's just a picture of the room).
There'll be one playable character, but many NPCs.. Even some surprises(like characters from other games, movies and even books...)

Oh. Well, then you won't be playing the whole game soon! Seriously, it'll take 5-6 more months to finish.

I need your guys' opinion on something... I've been thinking.. Should I make it possible to die in the game. I mean, it will make the game much more exciting, but if I don't, more people will like it because there won't be much violence... I don't know..

Here's what it looks when you die:

Erenan

What? One bullet to the heart kills him? What a pansy. ;D

I think you should be able to die. Dangerous situations are clearly a big element of this game, and if the character couldn't die, then why would the player worry about him? Dangerous situations should make the player feel anxious.

All I'm thinking right now is...

"But you will never understand me
Because I have a special job"
The Bunker

guybrush

You're right, Erenan. So, it's decided. Thanks.

*willing to wait for 5 or 6 months*  ;)

Skaterix

Tell us more about bad guys!

guybrush

Well uh.. There will be some bad guys. In fact, most of the characters are bad guys. But I don't want to spoil the story..

Skaterix

Do you have black people in the game or latinos or asians?

ciborium

Yeah, there is a Mexican drug dealer, the QuickMart is run by an Indian, and the guy holding up the QuickMart is black.  ;D


And your boss also said that since he's Irish he should cower and tremble at our feet if we use the word "POTATO."


BOT: The game looks really good and I will play it even if it is or isn't whitewashed.
However, the only reason I can tell that your "Game Over" Screen says to press F7 to load is because you crossed your seven. (F7) You may want to rework the numbers in your font.

guybrush

There'll be all races, of course, I'm no racist!.. Jackie, one of the main characters is black, and there is a Chinese man, and so on... Anyway, ciborium, thanks for support, and I know about the F7 thing, that's because I wrote F6 first time I was drawing the screen, and after I realised F7 is used for loading, so I just redrawed it to look like 7. hehe, I'm so dumb.

And don't forget I'm just 15... And from Croatia, and that makes it very hard to make a game in English. So I really appreciate when you guys support me, ask questions about the game, it really helps me out. Thanks everybody!

Then you may want to find someone to proof-read your English, preferably someone from the UK.  Most Americans can't even speak proper English, much less spell.  I would be willing to edit your text, except that by my previous statement, I have excluded myself as being qualified.

Yeah, that's what I was planning to do.. I really needed a Bad to Good English translator. And now you say you would like to do it :o. I would really really REALLY appreciate that, if you really want to edit the text! I presume you're from UK, right?

Actually I am an American.Ã,  That's why I said I disqualified myself with my statement.Ã, 

But seriously, I would be happy to proof-read it for you.Ã,  I'll PM you with my e-mail so you can send me a .txt file.Ã,  I only know English and a little Spanish, so please don't send anything in your native tongue.
