Mr. Mo's ABS

 

Okay,this game is going to be a sequel to Ninian's Rebellion. Basically,Ninian ravaged the world,and now you have to clean it up.

As everyone knows,Alina is dead. Otherwise,she could solve this crisis in seconds,and revert everyone back to normal,including the dead.

But instead,you have Sarah(name changed from Calill). Sarah is almost as famous as Alina. This is largely due to the many stone statues carved in her image. As well as the first sentences in the Ishtar Bible,written by Ishtar's God,that read,"I dedicate this land and all of its splendor to my beloved daughter,Sarah!"

 

<Main Characters>

 

Peter/Todd-

After being killed by Ninian during his life as King Ryan,Peter is reincarnated as Todd. This is due to the fact that his soul is damned to roam the earth for all eternity. He recovers his memories as King Ryan when he meets Fianna,and the other heroes.

 

Sarah- During the course of game,the heroes realize the only one who can stop Ninian is Alina,the daughter of God and savior of mankind. However,the plan fails and they get stuck with...Sarah. Ah,The mighty Sarah. She has the strength and endurance of...a fifteen year old girl,the spiritual powers of...a fifteen year old girl,and the knowledge and wisdom of...a fifteen year old girl. Yes,"She's completely fucking useless!" As told to her face by Silas,one of the heroes. Interestingly,her memories of her first life are intact,and she starts calling Todd "Peter",his original name,Not Ryan,the name given to him by Alina.

 

<Protecting Sarah> There are several ways to protect her during the trip from point A to point B.

-You can drag her around by the hand. This will move her the most quickly,but she can't run for very long. After a while she'll need to stop and rest.

-You can carry her on your back. However,This will reduce your movement speed,and you'll be able helpless if attacked.

-You can have her wait somewhere safe as well. A corner of a room for example,while you clear away the enemies. Avoid having her wait near doorways or holes in the walls because enemies tend to spawn there.

 

<The Goal>

There are three possible outcomes to the game. You can kill Ninian,then kill all the monsters she made which could take DAYS.

You can turn Sarah back into Alina by finding a legendary item called "Heaven's Grace",or you can take her to meet God.

(Not by dying!)

There is a ridiculously high spiral tower in the center of Ishtar's largest continent. It's called the Tower of Babel,it said that the tower is so high that it reaches straight to Heaven.

 

<Other Problems>

Ninian's power increases as time passes. In other words,She's leveling,too. The longer you take to get to her and kill her,the more powerful she'll be and the stronger her monsters will be. Take too long and you won't have a snow ball's chance in Hell to even kill her monsters.

-Weapons-

Human weapons are very effective on...well anything! You'd be surprised at what you can kill with a shot gun blast to the face. However,ammo is scarce. In the end,you'll mostly be relying on your sword or other various melee weapons. The main issue with melee weapons is THEY'RE melee! Even with the ultimate sword,you'll still have to get dangerously close to an enemy to kill it,and most enemies can rip you in half with ONE attack!

 

<Health and Healing items>

You have a set 1000 HP,and there's no magic cure for damage. All injuries,provided they're not fatal,have to heal on their own. Also,Do NOT get scratched or bitten by a zombie! Even a light wound will be considered fatal if it's by a zombie!

If you are injured you will get a Bleeding ailment,Sarah can perform First Aid on you to cure it,which requires bandages. There are three types of bandages in the game: light,medium,and heavy duty. The Bleeding ailment only damages you when you move,so stand still until it wears off,unless it's a massive Bleed from a severe injury.

Light injuries around 1-200 damage,the Bleeding will stop on its own after a short period of time,and your health will then gradually start to recover.

Medium injuries around 201-500 damage will cause greater Bleeding,which will also stop on its own,IF the bleeding doesn't kill you!

Severe injuries around 501-999 damage will cause massive Bleeding,which WILL not stop and will kill you if not treated with a heavy duty bandage,three medium ones,or fifteen smaller ones.

-Leg injuries- If you jump off a structure from too high up,you'll take damage. Not to your health,but your legs. The injuries vary from a Sprained ankle,a fracture,a broken leg,or just plain death.

A sprained ankle will reduce your movement speed by 1,disable sprinting,and disable the option to carry Sarah.

A fractured ankle will do the same effect,but reduces your movement speed by 2 instead of 1.

A broken leg will disable movement period until treated. Once treated,your movement speed is reduced by 3 until it heals.

Bandages will reduce the time it takes for leg injuries to heal considerably. Also to prevent unnecessary damage from falling,Do not jump down while carrying Sarah. Jump down alone,then use the catch option.

 

<Team>

Just me so far.

ZOMBIES! This game sounds awesome. If you need help with something (apart from music and mapping), I would be glad to help :alright: . Best of luck with your project, I'll be looking forward to a demo.

[rgangsta 43]

Me too. I think I'm going to try to kill all the monsters to beat the game.

I probably should mention this for those who played Ninian's Rebellion. None of my games were meant to have such linear story lines. Because of the time constraints of Leon's mapping contest I submitted it for,it was given a very straight forward design and limited to one map. I had to end the game early before she was supposed to go around Ishtar and pollute all of the major cities with monsters. The game's design was that King Ryan would show up with his army to where ever Ninian was after her monster count was at least 40 and killing Ryan would end the game. In the final text if her hatred variable wasn't high enough,it would say like,"Ninian never wanted to kill anyone and quietly disappeared into the mountains and was never seen again" instead of,"Even the death of King Ryan wasn't enough for her,Ninian decided to exterminate every last human. After all,that's what they would do her."

Wow, this is quite interesting. That piggy back riding sprite is really cool.

 

I can't wait to see what you do with this.
