VirtAnderson Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 So I'm thinking of making a Sonic game where the main characters are Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy, and Eggman's the main villain. but I need story ideas. I have nothing other than that, so I need some people to come up with story ideas, if possible. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECLIPSc70 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Whats the main gimmick of the game if there is one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow toilet Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 It's better to make a game based on your own story, honestly. If you can't think of one, play some of your favorite games and make a story based on the best. That's what I would do. Inspiration is very easy to obtain when playing other games especially for a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypersonic645 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Does a Sonic game really need any story elements? Last time I checked, all you need for a story was Sonic and Eggman having some kind of conflict with (insert gimmick crap here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strife Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 The gameplay is definitely the heart and soul of any classic Sonic game, and most players won't care if the plot is simply to save the world aganist Eggman once again. If, however, you strongly feel like you want an engaging plot (like I do most of the time), there are plenty of websites that can give you advice on how to structure a plot. TVTropes might help you brainstorm some ideas as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hilariously, i recently noticed that i couldn't enjoy most classic sonic games without the music playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirtAnderson Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Thanks for the help, I think I've got a story now. Also, it's not really a normal Sonic game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 If what's holding you back from making a game is a lack of story ideas, that really speaks volumes against the prospects of whatever game you are setting out to make.
