Liminal (WIP name)
By: Kushagra Date: September 24, 2021, 12:50 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
This is a temporary thread for a game that I'm going to try and
make. Progress will be slow because I myself am very slow, and
everything is still WIP, but I will try and actually make this a
thing.
Game premise is a dungeon crawl type of game, but I may change
it to a platformer or a Slay The Spire/Grinns Tale style game if
I end up liking those better.
Characters and Monsters will be based on abstract concepts and
emotions. Ecstasy and Euphoria are two characters for sure.
More detail when I have the energ
*flops over*

I misread the thread title as "Luminol".
* shot with an Aether Cannon *
But seriously, though, this looks like an interesting project!
I do have a question that springs to mind like a flower dragon
on a trampoline: will Hatred (or Anger or Rage or Fury or
whatever) be an antagonist or optional boss, or neither?

Flower Dragon on a trampoline sounds like it would be a huge
trampoline qwq
Hate will likely be an antagonist, but Rage will be a playable
character! I feel like there's enough distinction between the
two for that.
Rage's power will be based on Intensity - almost a support
character in some ways - being able to amplify (anger) or subdue
(calm) energy. Buffs and debuffs in a way.

So do all the levels in the game have specific themes relating
to these abstract concepts and emotions?

I think levels will likely follow a theme that is progressive -
I'm debating on Entropy being the binding theme for the levels.
Everything starts out neat and clean and simple and
straightforward but gradually things just start deteriorating
and getting chaotic.

The entrophy idea does sound interesting for levels and it
doesn't work, you could always keep it as a standalone level.

Yeah I think the way I'll have it go is have Entropy be the
common thing that ties everything together, the linear plot,
while other themes are branches off of the main story or even
run parallel for a short while before merging back in.

So if Hate is an antagonist, will it be related to this Entrophy
theme?

Yep! Actually this requires me to explain a little bit more
about the whole "world" first. Spoiler ahead:
[spoiler]The world is actually just a person's mind, and the
person's mental health is slowly going down the drain. The
characters inside the brain are all the healthy emotions and
concepts that the person is aware of, and they're trying to
fight their way through all the negative emotions that keep
coming across. Hence entropy being the main plot. All the
subplots and side branches are representations of memories - or
rather, fragments of memories.[/spoiler]
I've started sketching some ideas down, maybe I'll post them
tomorrow.
Need to get cracking on learning how to program this thing as
well lol

So one person's mind? So that person is plot important and all
the characters are people they've met or some of them?
If you're going to script, you might want something like
GameMaker or an alternate game design engine.
