[PROJECT WIP] DeadOrbit - Not only a DO remix

07/19/2015 12:25 OdessAngel#1
Hi everybody, today I present to you a new concept : DeadOrbit

CURRENT VERSION : Pre-Alpha - 0.1

PREVIOUS VERSIONS :


Based on DO remix source this is not only a standard DO remix, I improved the source and plan to do things which will make this game a sort of "DO based RPG"
My favorites games are RPG games, I like when behind the intense action you've an awesome storyline that make the game awesome.

DeadOrbit : Prologue

Few years before the war between Mars Mining Operation, Venus Ressource Unlimited and Earth Industries Corporation, space was divided into 6 sectors, the 6 sectors were divided into 3 unions, which were given to 3 different owners :
-The Reapers Secret Services (Reapers)
-The Red Zeta Army (Zeta Aliens)
-The Falcon Forces (Pirates/LoW Aliens)
Everything was peaceful before The Day.
The Day is a special day, the RZA, because of their hunger of domination attacked the Sector 4, owned by the RSS, that was a fast and destructive attack, the RSS was not ready to defend its possessions, that's why they sent an SOS signal to the FF, but they never answered. Despite of the number of Zeta System Aliens and of their mother ships, the RSS fight off RZA forces and isolated their mother ships, which were some prototypes, bigger than the Devourer, called the Eradicator. These mother ships were sent to an unknown sector, and in this sector, because of the inatentivness of lower class mercenaries of RSS, a gate to a far away galaxy was opened and tons of Lordakians, Streuners and others ships from the Galactic Suprematist Alliance (GSA) came out of this gate and invade the 6 sectors galaxy, they also built a new base near the massive gate from which they came from, in order to protect it. War was declared between the 3 main companies because of the attack of the RZA, of the inconsciousness of the RSS and the lack of help of the FF.
Since The Day, either companies are looking for a solution against the invasion of the GSA, and looking for the control of all the sectors, controlling these, they'll control the palladium market and they'll earn tons of Uridium selling it to either EIC, MMO and VRU.

Epilogue : (This will not be in-game)

RSS, RZA and FF were focused on their war, that's why the 3 humans companies, unsatisfied of the lack of palladium on the market declared war to either 3 alien companies, and invaded all the sectors, forcing the RSS to be divided, the RZA to be exiled to a lost land (also known as Zeta Galaxy gate Map), and the FF to be exiled in both Epsilon system and LoW system.
Reapers ex-members of the RSS went to an unknown sector near the solar system and started to take the control of the fifth sector near the humans, which will be called the 5-X sector, bringing with them their advanced technologies such as LF4 and some drones.


Gameplay :
-You chose to play as a mercenary of the RSS, a member of the RZA or a soldier of the FF, you start with the weaker ship of your company, Interceptor, Infernal or Vagrant, it depends of the company you choosed, and every company have an unique bonus that the two other doesn't have.
-By leveling up you'll unlock a new ship, at lvl 1 you have your basic ship, at lvl 3 you unlock a better ship, at lvl 6 you unlock the bigger first class ship, at lvl 10 you unlock the hunter ship (such as Annihilator/Convict etc..)
You can level-up by killing SGA aliens, members of other companies, selling tons of palladium, finishing some quests or invading SGA sector.
-You can earn your company's mother ship by finishing the Trinity Gates (new galaxy gates), you'll also get a special distinction
-There is 7 maps per sector
-New NPCs such as Super Lordakia, Super StreuneR giving you special rewards and a chance to win a special item killing these mobs
-No speed generator is needed, every ship has a unique speed, but don't worry, they travel fast
-Special skill tree will be unlockable
-Unique maps backgrounds (made by myself)
-New design and interface

This sounds amazing. I'll keep an eye on the thread to see where its going.

... not to be a nitpicker, but you did say to tell you.

Line 2 under gameplay, you said "choosed" it should be chose or choose. chose for past tense.

This sounds amazing, I'm actually really excited and believe you will do a great job. I only noticed one "mistake" it's not exactly important but I guess every little helps :P

"sent a SOS to the FF" change a to "an" and maybe change just SOS to "SOS signal" or something like that :P
