Critics' Lounge / Basic Story Outline,
Fri 13/04/2012 14:21:05
I'm still working out the kinks a little bit, but instead of giving all the plot details about my story, I'll word it as sort of a summary:

The law states that for everyone skill, there must be an equal but opposite skill. This maintains balance and prevent one side from beating the other, keeping the battle in stalemate. De Facto Peace. However the law also states that to be a suitable antangonist, you must have a force thats at least double the main heroes side. If one law is true, then the other must be false. You can't have contradictory laws in the legal system, because one cancels out the other.

Unless of coarse, there are two legal systems. One for those that live below the plate, and one that serves the ones that live above the plate. But there wouldnt be this instability below the plate, unless they were being financed by those below the plate. A large portion of the story takes place below the plate, where the young bloods are the primary victims of a proxy group thats being helped through more organized crime like the mafia.

I'm just wondering, is my story being run on bad logic. Other than of coarse I know de jure that there arent actually two legal systems, its more de facto two legal systems. I mean I know sometimes there are strange laws.

Project:
Lush Beneath A Shadowed Sun - A cyberpunk/post apocalyptic thriller - Chapter One

Details:

A young man known only as silhouette, is driving along a burnt forest road. He sees a blond girl in a white night gown walk across the road. He swerves, crashes, then blackout. He wakes up starring into a white light, and then reptilian doctors are starring into his face.

The doctors try to draw a black line on his forehead, but his eyes snap open. Beyond the white void, the blond girl is holding her bloody hands in her face, and she's crying. He tries to get close, but she disappears. He climbs walks for a mile out of the crator, and then clings to the edge. He sees a burnt forest, and a storm erupts. The rain burns through his shirt. He must find a cave as soon as possible.

Positions Available:

Dialogue - I need a dialogue assistant, as I need to know realistic speech patterns, and what people like that relate to.
Sprites - I need some help, unless shading isn't needed.
Scripting Assistant - (The programming aspect, the actual story is complete.) I need help putting key aspects, like rain that burns your skin, heat as high as 150 by day, and cold as cold as -50 by night.
Translator - (I'll need a translator into German, at least until I learn German myself.)
Plugin Assistant - I need help setting plugins.
Deadline assistant

Deadline:
This is a multi issue project, so I might have to set 12 separate deadlines. The first game I want done by late fall. (Assuming that the world electric grid doesn't go down before then.)

Comments:
The story itself is actually more detailed, but if I put it here it woudl stretch from here to the end of the earth. For comment, pm me.^^

Screenshots: (Out Of Date, But Only Graphically)

   It doesn't to do it for the other letters. I tried pressing fn + scroll. It didnt seem to do anything.

    Hey, I'm starting a new style for my adventure game called Once A Wolf. Its completely drawn by pencil. The problem is, I can't seem to figure out whats wrong with the perspective. It seems like its all over the place.



   If it just sucks, that fine, but I want a detailed and constructive reason why it sucks. Otherwise I can't improve.

Failed to save room room1.crm; details below
room1.asc(7): Error (line 7): Cannot declare local instance of managed type

   This is the error I seem to keep getting.

And this is the code.

// room script file

function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
     Overlay "textOverlay;
     
     textOverlay = Overlay.CreateTextual(160, 160, 100, Game.NormalFont, 7,  "This is the first text overlay.";
     Wait(300);
}


   Any ideas on what might be wrong with the code?

  I also seem to keep getting an error on cTentacles.Say

function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
        cTentacles.Say("Hello World!");
}
