oday I have completed working on the script of the game-
Game Script
Player looks at a dark environment with flickering light floating around them.
The player can hear distorted whispers.
[Female voice whispers] “Wake up. Hey wake up. Hey… You….”
The lady slaps the player.
The player looks up to the lady.
[Zinx voice] “You went hard on the nectar last night didn’t you.”
The Zinx pulls the player from the bench.
[Zinx voice] “Come on, get up in gear.”
The Zinx leads the player to the training grounds
[Zinx voice] “It’s the last leg of training.”
[Zinx voice] “After this you can head out and bust some Corroder.”
As the player is following Zinx they look around and see other people training.
Zinx and the player enter the training area.
Zinx points towards the training dummy.
[Zinx voice] “Alright, go ahead and show me how you would swing on a real enemy.”
-
(Give directions to the player on how to use the different weapons.)
-
[Zinx voice] “Nice work. I am pretty sure those Corroders won’t stand a chance against you.”
Zinx signs the player to follow her and walks towards the exit of the training area.
[Zinx voice] “Let’s go meet up with old man Feng. I am guessing he might have some work for you.”
Zinx and the player leave the Training ground.
Zinx leads the player through the village to find Feng.
Feng is smoking his pipe under a tree.
Feng gestures the two and greets them.
[Feng] “What bring you young sprouts here this early in the day. Don’t you kids have training?”
[Zinx] “As a matter of fact my friend here has completed their training. We are here to ask if you have any mission for us.”
Feng looks surprised his eyes go wide.
[Feng] “You fledglings done so quick.”
Feng stares through the two standing before him.
[Feng] “I heard the elders say there were a few promising recruits among the youth.”
Feng relaxes and calmly explains.
[Feng] “Well, we have been having some problem from the southeast forest. Life around that area is corrupted, and that corruption is spreading. We are quite sure those Corroders are up to something.”
Feng looks concerned.
[Feng] “Most of our elites are dealing with the incursion in the north so we are a bit low on manpower here.”
Zinx laughs and responds.
[Zinx] “Well take them down without breaking a sweat.”
Feng relaxes.
[Feng] “We need to find the source of the corruption and cleanse the forest. It should not be too much trouble dealing with them. Zinx you and your impatient friend can easily handle this.”
[Zinx] “Alright, lets head to this forest. We can hit it from two sides. I’ll head further down south, and you can hit from the north. Let’s pay our respects to the elders before heading out.”
[Feng] “May the blessing of the wild mother guide you, young sprouts.”
Zing smiles towards Feng before leading the player towards the sanctum of the elder.
As the player follows Zing –
-
Zing and the player walks pass the guards and enter the sanctum.
The player sees an elder sitting in front of the sacred tree.
[Elder] “Welcome young children, what bring you here today?”
Zing kneels and signs the player to kneel as well.
[Zing] “O elder, we have completed our training and are heading to the corrupted forest in the southeast that master Feng mentioned. We have come to seek your blessing before we head out.”
The elder smiles gently.
[Elder] “Ah, you must be our brightest young buds, the ones that excelled in their training.”
The ender gestures to the two.
[Elder] “Well yes, there has been trouble brewing in the southeast. It’s not anything too big as far as our scouts tell us. This would be a perfect opportunity for you young ones to test your training.”
Zing bows to the elder.
Zing in a firm voice says.
[Zing] “O elder, we will annihilate all those that threaten our nature our land.”
Zing looks up to the elder and starts chanting the naturists anthem.
The player follows Zing’s lead and starts chanting.
-
Anthem
-
[Elder] “Well said my young buds, go out there and blossom like the wildflowers.”
[Elder] “May the blessing of the Wild Mother guide your path and your blade.”
Zing bows to the elder before heading towards the exit.
->As Zing passes you.
[Zing] “I’ll wait for you by the exit of the village. If you need to do anything around the village then do it and meet be by the gate, ok?”
The player explores the village before heading towards the gate.
-Or-
->As Zing passes you.
[Zing] “Let’s get going.”
The player follows Zing towards the gates of the village.
At the gate.
[Zing] “This is where we part ways. I’ll head south.”
Zing points to the path.
[Zing] “If you follow the path and stick to the tree line it will lead you right to the corrupted forest.”
Zing looks at the player and taps them on the shoulder.
[Zing] “Good Luck” Grins at the player “Young Sprout.”
Zing runs off.
The player follows the path.
-
Need stuff in the environment during the player’s journey. Things that show what happened.
-
Player is surrounded by green nature but at the edge of their vision they can see the beginning of the corrupted forest.
[Player] “This place looks pretty nasty. Time for some clean-up”
Bushes rustling sounds.
As the player enters the forest, they look surprised and taken back with the environment.
The small creatures pop out and start surrounding the player.
In a confident voice-
[Player] “Here we go.”
-Small Fight- Small Action Bubble
Player fights.
-
After taking down the swarm of monsters.
-
Player notices something peculiar about the monster and how it gives a bit more about the world
-
The player pushes forward into the forest.
When the player reaches the heart of the forest, they see a large monster cutting themselves.
The blood drops and infects the land, corrupting it further.
[Player] “So that’s the root of the corruption. Yuck”
The player steps out of the shadows and walks towards the large monster.
-Action Bubble-
The player fights and takes down the large monster.
The player takes the monster down.
The player gasps
[Player] “The bigger the size the bigger the crash.”
The player takes a deep breath, clears their voice.
[Player] “Right. Time to cleanse this forest with the blessing of the Wild Mother.”
The player looks at the plant the monster corrupted and uses it as the focus point to cleanse the forest.
Parts of the forest gets cleansed but not all of it.
The corruption that remains starts growing towards the monsters and bit by bit starts healing them.
The player sounds really confused, worried and frustrated.
[Player] “What the heck? How? Why didn’t it work? How badly did they twist the children of the Wild Mother?”
The player then notices a huge pulsing vein that beats and is fuelling the corruption.
[Player] “Ask and you shall receive. Let’s see where this leads to.”
The player follows the vein into a cave and walks through it.
The player looks at the environment that is pulsing and corroding the green.
As the player walks through the cave there are weird noises coming at the end of the end of the path.
Monster grunting noises
Player breathing sound
As the Player comes around the corner, they can see the monster sinking its fist into the land and further corrupting it.
In a hybrid of monster and AI voice
[Boss Monster] “I sense you there green one. Your stench gives your position away.”
[Player] “This is the first time ever hearing your kind speak.”
[Player] “Well ugly, I am here to end your corruption. I am taking back this land in the name of the Wild Mother.”
The boss monster slams the ground.
[Boss Monster] “We have evolver to a point where our bodies and nature can co-exist together with a little tweak.”
[Player] “TWEAK? You have corrupted to a point beyond recognition. The blessing of the Wild Mother gives life, not destroy it.”
Boss Monster sinister laugh
[Boss Monster] “We bend your nature to fuel our cause.”
[Player] “Like hell ya twisted Corroder. All you do is consume life and leave death in your awake. This is the end of the line bubba.”
The Boss Monster grunts
-Big Action Bubble-
Fight begins.
In between combat
[Boss Monster] “Your kind is responsible for creating us. At the end of our purpose are we supposed to just roll over and die?”
[Player] “Our ancestors created you to give us a chance to save our world.”
[Boss Monster] “Death is the reward for saving YOUR WORLD.”
[Boss Monster] “This is every bit of our world just as it is yours. We fight for the rights of our existence. We will destroy your kind and your twisted ideology.”
Voice comes a bit unconfident
[Player] “But we needed a quick solution to save our world. We did not mean for this to happen.”
[Boss Monster] “You didn’t intend for this to happen but still when it did happen all you did was silence us.”
[Boss Monster] “As our creators you did not offer any solution any way for us to survive, just genocide.”
[Boss Monster] “To hell with your kind. NOW WE KILL YOU.”
Player defeats the monster.
Heavy breathing noise
[Player] “They fight to live, just like us…. Then how do we find a middle ground. How do we….”
Player cleanses the corruption in the cave.
After making the script I hand drew a rough story board-
Scene 1 In scene 1 the player is in the final stage of training (tutorial on movement and combat) and is given a mission to go take out the Bio Beings. This is the first time the player will be leaving their village.
Scene 2 The player is near the corrupted forest. The player is being followed by small Bio beings as they approach the forest.
Scene 3 After defeating a boss Bio Being in the forest the player finds an abandoned scientist shelter with a radio revealing where their new base of operation is.
Scene 4 This is the ending of the game where the player comes across a dying scientist and the scientist explains themselves saying they are humans who made mistakes and are not some evil being that seeks destruction.
Next week Kunal should have all the templates ready so I will be able to now start on designing the village.
