Owwin Skaeryll Hey Owwin and then also everyone else go to my journal and read my game idea. It's the entry called "Game #1: Rain (Horror/Strategy)" I don't really know how to feel about it. The disease is reminiscent of how the disease in I Am Legend was. I would have to know more about the game mechanics. Some genres are good at being story alone, but horror isn't one of them. Also do you have to collect umbrellas and stuff to shield yourself with or what? It sounds like it could be really challenging to do puzzles and stuff if you keep the rain deteriorating their defenses and soaking through their clothes as they do puzzles outside and stuff, but I don't know that much about it.
The game isn't totally outside there's a good like 40-50% of the game that is played inside buildings so you won't have to worry about the deteriorating umbrellas.

I was trying to find a way to say that without sounding like a jackass or just saying 'Hey, you ripped off a movie.'
Except that it's actually y'know nothing like I am Legend.

The rain just deteriorates your body, right, or does it have an effect on your brain too? And how would she survive without drinking water? I mean, if they drank the water cycled through the rain clouds, they'd disintegrate from inside. Maybe bottled water could be a game resource, like the umbrellas.

I don't think it is that reminiscent really...like only a very little bit. The rain thing does make it really different. I dunno, I just have a thing about making cures into diseases. It is my subconscious faith in science and western medicine. Also I feel sorry for the scientist. XD @reg If done properly, it could be a fantastic game. And by the could spell death thing, do you mean like. Zack and Wiki if you screw up you die and have to try again, or more like any other game where you have a health bar. I am pretty sure you wanna make it more Zack and Wiki/Shadowgate(or whatever that game is called) That could be done really really well. EDIT: Oh don't put too much of it inside. The rain thing really works. Challenging is good. It is a fantastic idea. @ LPS It is more of a disease deteriorate than an acid deteriorate. I think? Maybe instead of umbreallas melting you might just wanna make it that they can only keep so much moisture off you before you have to go dry off/change.

Oh yeah! I thought I put that... but yeah you'd have to get bottled water, but you wouldn't have to get it as often as umbrellas.
For enemies I haven't really thought of many yet as I only really thought of the story, and the human characters(None which have a confirmed name).

Reg made it sound like it had a degenerating effect on the flesh. Maybe it wouldn't burn the organs up, but it would definitely have an effect on them. Especially if the medicine weren't meant to be ingested. But how would this scientist ever get the OK to contaminate a water source? eek

Yeah my game is pretty much a post-apocalyptic third person version of ShadowGate, but instead of like for Shadowgate where if you die you pretty much have to start over you get checkpoints since this game would be a bit longer and more cinematic than Shadowgate.

Extended periods of contact would either mutate or destroy flesh.

xD I guess... but really you wouldn't know which would happen when it touchs your skin. Either immediate painful death, or an eventual mutation.
Also the game pretty much has only like one true boss fight. Though you could in a sense count the regular confrontations as boss fights aswell.
