Game Title: Co-Existence is Obsolete, hmmm I like it better like this Co-Existence Obsolete, without the is.

The year is 2033 after WWIII, which has been named by the people of that time as "The Consist-War"
The War was between the former United States and the recently formed Nations of Karaton.

Unfortunately...the United States had been overpowered by the forces of China, Russia, and Asia in 2029.

The Nations of Karaton acted quickly and made the last 38 remaining states become a part of their nation. For years, there was no freedom, and only laws were made which made the Chinese higher in Society Status.

In 2032 the Russians decided to try and break apart from Karaton, but China and Asia would not allow it. The Months went on and no one, except a choice few knew what was really going on.

Sadly.......those people were kidnapped and killed. They'd figured out what had actually happened during the war, and were going to tell the world. After the Russians tried to break away, the other nations' leaders became suspicious of what their real intentions were.

Now back to the present:
A Small Group of Russian and American Scientists escaped from the known world. They had been monitoring a certain area of land for years, land that no one else knew of. With the necessary equipment they knew they could survive long enough just to build a few 100.

A few 100- Binary Soldiers. Referred to as the Dualistics. They are normal men who have been trained secretly for years, many years--before the war.

As you can tell Dualistics aren't one soldier alone.
They are trained in groups of two. Someone specially trained in the use of firearms and combat, and someone trained for the arts of stealth, agility, and brainpower.

South Asia was then only called Asia then, so no...I'm not failing Social Studies.
;)

Any suggestions? Or tweaking of the story?

wow....this sounds pretty cool

Hopefully it will be as good as it sounds.
I told you that you guys were gonna have some good competition.

It's an interesting story but what exactly is the story arc that connect the Dualistics and the country we all knew was gonna rebel?

Are they going to ignite another war?

I think that this should probably be presented in a Metal-Slug style shooter or an Iji type pacing. Really flesh out the story for this game through the gameplay and cutscenes. That's my suggestion

Cool story though :)

Thanks, but the story isn't finished...nowhere near it.

The Dualistics are American and Russian soldiers.

That's all I can say, the rest will be spanned through out the game.
Its all still in the planning stages.

As you should be able to figure out, you won't be playing alone, I'm planning on having an AI ally that accompanies you, because as you can understand the Dualistics stick together. You will NEVER see one by his/her self...unless of course....something has gone horribly wrong.

Maybe a Co-Op mode too.

The AI is gonna be hard to program man

but good luck

Yeah.
Thanks though. I'm working on the story and its starting to shape up nicely.

If you need any story ideas I'm always willing to help

Go ahead and throw out whatcha got.

I could probably use it for a side story.

Check it

to fix the story arc between the Dualistics and Russian/China thing.

Dualistics were simply a defensive project developed by the small group called Little NAAGT (National Association Against Global Terrorism) which would be named after the original NAAGT which fell with the U.S. in 2029

The Dualistics were found out by China and as a retaliation Russia was driven further underground by hundreds of surprise raids from China. China had thought that Russia had planned to sever its ties to China with Violence and decided to strike first. Now Russia was Crippled to the point of surrender. And
China began to gain more and more offensive.

Using the U.S. as land they began to try to convert everyone in North America to their customs. Unfortunately it failed, angering them China began to threaten and kill to maintain the power. U..S is now for the first time under the thumb of another country...

The main character is a dualistic simply trying to negotiate the release of the U.S. and have the world's power balance back in order. However China already on the edge won't exactly let him do that without putting up a good fight. ;)

There's a good backstory.

Love it, Just Love it.

Nice work.

EDIT: But remember, you'll be able to play as both Dualistics.
The Dualistics are actually two people.

Sorry main characters lol but yeah my story skills are pretty on par

Could someone please move this back?
I'm not having game development issues.

U have game idea issues which r hendering the development or ur game??? idk....
but back to ur story:
the one that death posted fits together nice. what bout this;
the dualistics were a top secret opperation instuted by the naagt, but the project was suddenly terminated with the fall of the naagt. then with the whole wars and russia and china thing it was completely forgoten. china begins to start controling more and russia is not going along with it quitely. the russians declare war against china, but china killed em all....or so they thought..... only 2 survive..... without anyones knowledge 2 dualistics were sent out on a classified mission before the end of most of the u.s. and the termination of the naagt. then u go find the old lab, and form a large force of dualistics that china will have a reckoning with... idk....

this may not fit the story but do you think a RTS tipe game would work?

Sorry, your topic has been condemned :P

Actually no, this is not hindering the development of the game.

bump.

Cool story. I have trouble understanding a little bit of it. So China and Russia invaded the U.S. together. Then China, fearing that Russia would betray them, launched a preemptive strike at Russia. Is that right so far? And did they only attack the Russians in the United States or did they invade Russia too?
If they invaded Russia, I have an idea...

The dualistics are forced to go into hiding after China dismantles the NAAGT. But one pair (The pair you play as) has decided to try and Liberate the United States. So they have to escape to Russia. In Russia they join forces with Russian rebels and help defeat the Chinese invaders. That takes about half the game. After Russia is free, they agree to help you eliminate the Chinese forces in the United States. So with the help of Russia, you fight off the Chinese and free the U.S.
And if you want to, you can make it so that after America is free, the combined forces of the U.S. and Russia invade China and tear down their communist government and install a peaceful democratic system. Or they could wipe out the country entirely. Either way, it's up too you.

It sounds like an awesome idea! What you could do, you could make it like you control one of the top duo's, and when you pressed a certain key, you would switch to the other character. Also, how about the scientists who developed the dualistics were American scientists. They guessed what the future would hold and proposed a plan to regain America once the dualistics were fully trained. (P.s. I think that if you go through with this, it will be a featured game on this site!)

I wish I had time to fully reply to these posts.

Yes, there will be a switch-character button, which as an alternative to multiplayer or AI.

Yeah I like the switching characters idea better than the AI idea. Plus it will give you the opportunity to create more challenging levels. Because you will need to decide which character is better use, and you will have to switch depending on the situation.

I still haven't had any time to work on the game.

The Game Development Issues announcement has been modified, so I've moved this back to General Chat.

Thanks Nailog.

WOOT!
