Spin Doctor: Protagonist & Antagonist

As you all know, I chose to do story, with the help of Jonny. The story will follow shortly after this overview.

- This is only a suggestion, feel free to come up with your own ideas and let me know if you strongly disagree with any of the following:

Protagonist overview example:


Name: N/A (?)
Age: 32 (?)

Gender: Male

Purpose: Protagonist, playable character, testing victim.

- The protagonist has been kidnapped by the antagonist, for testing purposes. This will be explained later.

Antagonist overview example:

Name: Dr. Reeves OR Dr. Veles  (?)

Age: 40-50's (?)

Gender: Male

Purpose: Antagonist, villain.

- Dr. Reeves is the antagonist, the evil villain, psychiatrist. This will be explained later.

Spin Doctor: Yay, steampunk!

The whole class finally decided on a Steampunk theme in the Victorian time. I couldn't be happier! I also came up with a basic story for the game, that seems to go well with both gameplay and Vi and K's ideas for UI, general art and so on. Everyone seems happy with both the setting and the story so far. I'll write out a story overview soon and post it here for everyone to see!

Spin Doctor: Steampunk suggestion

I've been thinking about the game genre, and it seems most people want to do a sci-fi game, more specifically a space game. I'm not too fond of that idea, but I thought I'd just throw my ideas out there for people to see.

I think a sci-fi steampunk kind of game could be interesting. It's not as common as space games, so I'm sure we could all come up with some unique ideas that are steampunk related. I'm not sure about the environment, but I did a little research and I found a couple steampunk games, which could be a source of inspiration (P.S: This is genre/environmental research only)

Machinarium - a flash based graphical adventure 2D game.

Plank - Steampunk Puzzle game.

I think steampunk could work well with the core mechanic Vi's group came up with last week. Just my two cents.
