Oh...and I also want to make a nice menu players can access with the Enter button or something...

I think it would make the game more enjoyable to select items and equip stuff from a nice, visually-pleasing menu than a simple text one.

Okay, so I still haven't messed around with the program much - promise I will get on that some more - but I think I have some pretty solid ideas and want to start working things out.

One idea I have, since this game I have in mind deals a lot with survival and action-based gameplay, is to incorporate a health meter into the gameplay, and let the player use weapons to fight other characters with their own health meters. (Which may or may not be visible to the player, I don't know yet.)

I just feel like, I don't think I could do this sort of game without having a way to have the protagonist sustain damage from different characters and objects and visibly show the player how much health they currently have.

Is there a way to do this?


While I am at it, I am also considering a feature where you would switch between playing as multiple main characters in the game, either at certain story points or manually, or both.  And I would want the individual characters to have access to different items or controls to make them feel unique and important to completing different puzzles and objectives.

On another note, I have considered a create-a-character feature where the player would build their own protagonist from scratch, modify their colors and looks, and name them whatever they want.  But I don't know if this would be too difficult and time-consuming, it's probably too much for a first project.

I have just downloaded the AGS program and would like to make a fan game set in the LOST (tv show) universe.  It would feature characters, plots and even some dialogue from the series, but would probably star an original character who is also another passenger of Flight 815.  Due to the mysterious nature of the television show the game would not deal with any touchy subjects from the series such as the unanswered questions, theories or unconfirmed details, but would instead focus on the hero's struggles with the 'Others', the content of the DHARMA Hatches, the freighter crew and the smoke monster.

Any other LOST fans and/or individuals who can help me work on a game of this calibur, drop me a PM and we can try to work on something in our free time.
