DreamGate

[ciera800]

I'm sure everyone here has heard of the movie Dream Scape. Well I've been thinking about making a game called DreamGate. It is probably going to end up being a mystery/Dating sim. The main character, a young girl wakes up finding herself trapped in her own nightmare. (very recycled...but hey it's good!) She wanders her way into a mysterious old palace where a young boy lives. Together these to have to figure out how to survive and escape their waking nightmare.....or perhaps create the dream fantasy they always wanted.... Let me know what you think please, you'll get a cookie if you do 8D!

Good luck on this. But quick question: You said they both have to learn how to escape or whatever. So does that mean the boy is also dreaming?

Hmmmm well i'm still figuring it all out using the character tips i found on this site, but the boy's been there all his life, i guess you could say he was the very first victim to be taken, so yes they are both technically asleep.

I think this is a great idea for a first game! But you really should make more characters inside, maybe more boys?

[ciera800]

hmmm would you like to help me? I'm open to suggestions, maybe a brother, and an outsider possibly?

[Aoyama Ryuu]

How about an antagonist? Dream master? You need at least SOME conflict. But don't listen to me, you're supposed to figure it out on your own... or at least that's how I am.

[ciera800]

Dream master would be his dad and trust me i have things figured out mostly but help would be apreciated this once lol.

[azureXtwilight]

Hmm, a brother of the boy, or the girl. Maybe the boy's best friend that his dad hates, or maybe an unexpected childhood friend?

And if your characters aren't that many, and involve none to few cgs, I'll be happy to help drawing them.

I forgot what it actually stands for, but basically character scenes. ie; If a character falls down in the grass, you show that picture.

"CG" is pretty much any colored illustration done digitally. I think it stands for "Computer Generated". Some artists sometimes refer to the act of Coloring or Painting a digital image as "CGing"
In games, it is a (normally) fullscreen image illustrating an event of certain importance on the story.
Think of them as images on an illustrated book; they usually have illustrations every few pages highlighting parts of the story.

Actually the term CG was used to designate Computer Graphics. That's the term japanese people designate graphics generated by computers (2D & 3D). I think we use the term because it's also how you designate them in Visual Novels.

Sure can. Once you've built your distributions, scroll down below where you normally make a post (don't do a quick reply, rather click Full Editor) After that scroll down below where you type your reply and you'll see the option to choose a file name. Click browse, find your demo file, click Add the file, wait a few minutes, and then once your file is uploaded just submit your post.
