Not to sound hyper-critical, but don't you think that combining all of those things might be a bit…….overkill?

I mean, we've got:

RGB
XGB
GB
StayPuft
Gozer
Vigo
and even the GB2 Titanic reference

I mean, it's like a GB stew……perhaps a bit much for one storyline?

IMO.

Overkill? Maybe if your not a Ghosutbusters fan. See were celebrating 20 years of psychokinetic acticity and dont have one game to cover any of it. The Sega Genesis game was the closes to touch on the rich history with some class and regards for the franchise. I have written a few scripts in my day, and yea it could sound hypacritical, but I've seen Skeletor cast a spell on Superman and watched him kick the shit out of He Man. Now The story is called TIMEFRAME and like I said as a script its just eh, but add the element of a GB fan being able to control the wild story I've cooked up as a long time fan and I think its sure fire. But hey I never said it was the greatest thing ever. Just thought you might like the chance to play out some great scenerios with great characters with a true to the bone logistic story. I dunno If the creator wants we can talk. I would love to be involved and I actualy broke down the first five acts into “stages” with 5 objectives each not including the three hidden in each as well as some mini games which actualy tie into the story. Either way I wrote the damn thing and as a fan I love the story.

Hey……whatever you're into, my man. My statement was purely opinion.

I just can't really see the tie-in (and timeline), but if you've got it, good for you.






Just do me one favor…….don't question my GB fandom.
Perhaps you don't know me that well.

For a game story I thought that would be pretty good having both RGB and EGB, kinda like the way they teamed up in the cartoon, (a good array of characters to choose from, having both generations of Ghostbusters)

Maybe just having the Titanic's arrival as a level, (ie. exploring the boat, getting rid of the nasties on board) Vigo and the slime appearing afterwards (slime explaining the ghosts) leading up to Gozer and Staypuft appearing towards the end. Hey it's a game, we need lots of stuff happening, if it was based on one of the movies / RGB shows it would be pretty short.

Just my thoughts.

If it's RGB & XGB, go with baddies from those universes. I just think it's throwing too much in from overplayed franchises if you use things from RGB, XGB and GB.

Yes, you heard me…..overplayed. How many GB-related fan games involve the whole film-GB storyline?

That's part of the reason I dig the above demo so damn much: it's unique (w/ the “ghost simulator” and all), and the play is great.

If using RGB and XGB, follow the lines of those shows for constructing of the game's storyline. Wouldn't have to be based on any particular episode; could have levels ranging from the Boogyman's realm to the cartoon world (you know, where they're sucked into the cartoon), to the amusement park w/ the crazy rollercoaster, etc.

Man, would that be cool……it'd be like a “best of” for RGB and XGB, but also make a cool-ass game with many environments and baddies.

Although I think Boogyman kinda takes the cake in the animated GB world….at least in terms of “cool badness.”

Again, just my two cents.

Yeah I see what you mean, that would work a lot better, I guess I just want the best of all the universes, but they wouldn't really work and take away the charm and atmosphere of the movies.
Boogeyman would really kick ass, so would a lot of the RGB & EGB villains. Does the_blessed_freak51 have a storyline? If not someone get writing, that would be awesome!

lol

I know it…..here we are discussing his game storyline.

(^_^)

ehhh yea whats goin on? haha


blessed - ask ecto fiend about sprite work….he has done work with sprites and he is pretty good with it :0)


:p

hey Mike, were discussing what the storyline for the game should be ( if it ever gets finished )

were thinking that it should comibine all three universes XGB, RGB and the movies

heres my idea:

something to do with containment unit. since Egon is our main character (atleast for the demo, i think we should be able to choose in the final version ie. New Ghostbusters 2 ). comes back to the fire house from a bust

and walks down stairs to find Peck near the containment who then shuts it down setting free all the ghosts/villians from all the universes ( Vigo, Boogeyman, Stay Puft, Sam Hain, Grundell, etc. )

and thats how we could tie in all the villians and ghosts together for the game. the rest we can come up with together.

OK The Story I wrote is called Time Frame.
I work on scripts and things of that nature (i.e screenplay, script, sitcom) just for fun. My heart is in my music. I didnt mean to sound as if I were questioning your fandom. I just meant that you know, overkill kinda equals extasy in most cases. However in defense my script was written in the vein of marvel's “WHAT IF”, just because as a fan its a something I think could have been played out better then “BACK IN THE SADDLE”. I'm not a gun-hoe typa guy who just puts everything out there but I havnt even talked to anyone about working the script however feedbacks always constructive:
