MASSAGI!

[Sami Tervo]

Doom-style would be better, that Wolfenstein would just take space from pics..

Hey, how about Stargate's circles-thing? You know, the system that is used for short trips like from ship to planet?

[Kon-Tiki]

Hmmm, don't really like all that space-stuff. It's one big deus ex machina. using other themes than space can be more difficult, but it'll be more rewarding at the end (as a beginning: you haven't made yet another space game.)

well, how about your some bad guy transported you into some special world. in order to get to him and defeat him, you must go through multiple quests. after you complete one, you go to the next. and you progress. then, you go to the boss's level and you have to kick his ass.

maybe, there could be hidden objects in each world or quest that you will need to defeat the final boss.

great idea so far, keep him up.

I think Andrew's plan was to have just separate scenarios that you have to solve.  Like little skits.  The reason why this occurs probably doesn't matter as much as long as it's not too contrived.

are you planning for there to be a story that runs through all the segments or just throw the player in the deep end?    

[Te Rangi]

There should be several "quests", each being a different game (to keep file size down), and each based on a different theme.

Example : Joe likes Sci-Fi. He makes the first segment of this quest, and people keep adding their own segments until you get to a certain number of segments (like 8 or something) and you have a new game!

If you have ever read the books or seen the TV show of Red Dwarf, there are different realities where every possibility ever is carried out, and there are several universes, some that go backwards in time.

If you like British humor (insults) then check it out. I am part British myself and I can get all the jokes, however unfunny.

[Kon-Tiki]

Hehehe, know of Red Dwarf. I've seen some episodes of it and laughed myself a monkey( ). I believe that choice-thing is called the quantum-theory, but I'm not sure of that.
Making Massagi this way will result in a non-linear AGI-game. That would be very fun and innovating.

Just a thought. Anyone seen the 'Red Dwarf' episode Timeslides? due t a case of mutated developing fluid the crew are able to step inside photographs.

there could be a guy going throught his photo album, and then step into each quest.

only in the show there was a limitation of the person not being able to leave the confines of the original image

Or how about the one where time ran backwards and the Cat took a dump

[Te Rangi]

Is it just me, or has this topic gone off topic?  

[Jelle]

Why don't you make a poll of it.
How are we going to bring all the parts together

• This way
• That way
• Another way

Look at all the different ideas of the people on this thread. So many ideas, but you should pick one and work it out.
People should only vote if they want to work on the game. If you don't do this, you will end up talking about something that will never happen.

Good point.  I said Massagi! would be a democratic process, so I'm going to take a poll.  It would be best if only those people who wanted to contribute responded, to be completely fair.
