NO ZOMBIES!!!! Zombies and vampires now are far too overused. I will PM you some basic plat ideas I've come up with. demoman_chaosI don't think that this RPG ever has, nor ever will, use zombies, or vampires. It's about Sonic, you see, and the closest he's gotten to those is the "forces of the underworld" in Sonic & the Black Knight/Sonic '06. Another possible idea to throw out (says I) is actually giving players solo usage of a single, minor, Sonic universe character. Many people tend to have favorites even among those not so many care about, and the chance to be in charge of their favorite without the chance that someone will take control away from that character for a completely different job (meaning their character doesn't get to work alongside their hero any more) would likely appeal to a few people.
Interesting stuff. I will have to read more of it.
On the subject of Luke and such, beyond getting into a few tussles, him and that little robot thing were not pulling their weight around. Last I saw that machine shut itself down, and I forget what happened to Luke himself. I think he was lost in some dream realm thing or something.
Mesa had a funny idea he would get the short end of the stick TBH, since he did very little to the plot and instead made a story arc all for Luke, which everyone else did not get involved in at all. Where as Peter was scheming (I think, I know kj had one more, maybe he was the one doing the thinking), Danial and Polly were planning, Screech was trying to kill everyone, and Newton was trying to save everyone from war. I'm not sure if MS was going to join with us later, but I know he pulled away from everyone upon going his own way.
Just minor correction: Peter sent out when he was 18, not 16. So he's been traveling for only a couple of months really. Other then that, do like.kjhg53Eh, I knew I'd get some detail wrong. A couple of months is still enough time for him to copy some abilities and kill some folks. *shrug* ;)
I am curious of how Dem will be used.demoman_chaosYou've only got another chapter until you find out. The next one may take an extra day - Combat writing isn't my thing, and I'm not sure exactly how I want/need the whole battle to play out in the end for the rest of the plot to work. :/
[QUOTE="barren167"]Am I correct that the next RPG will not be a sequel to this one?sonicphcWhy on Earth would I do that? Because, if memory serves, the first seven RPGs were all sequels to each other, or at least featured the same characters. There's always the chance that such a tradition will be continued, though admittedly it'd be more likely if you weren't here to design something better.
All will die, except Dem and Screech because they are immune to the C-virus (also known as the average grade-virus).demoman_chaosSomehow, I think phc has a tad more inventive idea that that. For example, that nuke storehouse Screech pulled out of nowhere detonates right at the climax and ends the world.

Heh.

Heh. Dem would be right but... well, spoilers :) ... All right, all right, I'll save the debating/arguing for after the story's conclusion.

I think Polly and Dan built some robots together from scraps after the first attack by Screech.demoman_chaosEdited the one line. Danial forgetting all that in his confusion/rage makes it all the more comedic. ;)
I'm interested why you like Danial so much.Soniczero1993He and Polly are very different than what I'm used to writing. Newton and Jasmine try to be "good people," and will overtly orient their decisions around helping others. Polly is what Newton would like to think of himself: Does whatever helps her and will get life back to normal. Despite how many times Newton said that he just wants his life back, he's lying to himself. He and Polly could have escaped the castle long ago and let one random person he'd never meet die in his place. He didn't, and played hero. There's no real heroism in Polly's actions - only necessity. Hence her incredibly sarcastic and jaded personality. Danial, on the other hand, is incredibly aggressive to the point where it's comedic. There's one or two jokes and a number of comical situations in the last chapter as a result of Danial's brashness. (He spends a whole page and a half having a mid-life crisis and before returning to envisioning people's heads on sticks, for goodness sake.) I don't do comedic writing that often, and the juxtaposition of the comedy with the seriousness of Danial's attitude and the graveness of the situation makes it all the more fun :) Please, feel free to discuss what you like/don't like and talk speculation and stuff. It tells me what you're noticing and enjoying and what you're not catching onto so I can improve my writing as I go. Also, seeing people discussing and/or noticing details is the most rewarding thing for a writer/musician/artist etc, and that energy would probably help me write faster ;)
Just one thing to note, Danial's gun is not really a rifle. It's a sniper/railgun kind of rifle. Granted he could fire it at point blank if he wanted, he usually snipes with it. He saves up close shooting to his palm blasters.
Of course warning shots from a railgun sniper thing would kind of scare people since it still has the power to tear through thick armor and destroy flesh and bone like it was wet paper. So it works either way.
Meh. That's being nitpicky. I'm more interested in what you think of the characters' actions, plot, jokes, etc. ;)Just one thing to note, Danial's gun is not really a rifle.

Anything I can suggest now would be possible spoilers, if I bring up something you've already thought of and planned for, or just speculation that's not really a proper comment. Those are really waiting until I see just what Luke is up to. Well, him and Moria Kintobor, the latter was a ton of wasted potential on my part. *shrug*
