Me and @DarkModule now started on a duo project where we are trying to make source game in the Roblox engine. A singleplayer first-person horror that might have a co-op campaign later. Anyways, what makes our game unique is it’s full PBR texture maps, custom human look characters, voicelines with translations to 12 of the most spoken languages and a red thread to a well put out storymode.
There’s one problem, we don’t have a settled story to the game yet, and the map with it’s gameplay is faraway from finished in size. So please, pitch me ideas of how the story could go, but you have to base it off from a old russian prison, that’s the building the horror takes place in, everything else is up to you.
If you want to you can even write a rough entire script of how you think the story should playout, and if you’r enot too found of that you can pitch ideas of how the monster should be, if there should be any. And what perks it has, and how it moves and looks, or characterise the player you play as. Names, age, all that.
Thanks a lot in beforehand, and I’ll read every single suggestion and idea. Give me your feedback!
(If you’re interested in the development itself, I’ll link our socials at the bottom of this topic.)
Looks amazing! Maybe you’re a guard that wakes up after working in the prison for a while with no memory of ever working there, you explore to jog your memory? I’m pretty bad at stories, apologies
I’m thinking a pretty standard nuclear story would go great with this. Let’s say you worked here and the plants exploded you hit your head and forgot, you wake up and have to fight your way out. Just as a basic idea.
@DesertedArtist Maybe you have to escape, or rescue people who help you escape. @TD_PIayz idea of amnesia might work well with that. You have to escape before the radiation gets you, might be fun. Fit the prison map in by saying they were doing weird experiments there as well, you could even throw in a radioactive monster who’s stalking you.
Probably don’t want to make it to specific though, leave room so you can do a sequel.
Also the map is amazing, and I really like how your translating it to appeal to more players!
Edit: Not sure if it’s supposed to look like that, but the Vents/Pipes in the photos look kind of out of place, the big white ones along the ceiling. They look too 2D (if that’s a thing I don’t know ).
The building looks pretty good! It also looks quite scary…
For a game theme I would suggest something about a modern civil war, that seems to fit your building. Maybe try make it a survival game, where you have to survive, forage for food and find weapons. Kinda like Apocalypse Rising 2, except instead of zombies they should be other survivors.
A prison in Siberia. A family of four have gotten lost. You are part of the rescue team searching for them.
One day something, somehow, somewhere kills half of the rescue team. The other half ran away and escaped. You tried to escape as well, but it was too late. You were lucky to only have gotten knocked unconscious.
You wake up with no memory of what happened. You are starved, dizzy, half-dead. You look around and see your friends, lying dead on the ground. You realize that you must escape or else your fate will be the same as theirs.
As you search through the prison and enter particular rooms, you get flashbacks of what had happened. You find items. Strange items. And as you collect more and more of these items, that something gets closer and closer.
At the end of the game, you realize that that something turned out to be the family. But they were beyond rescue: insane, disfigured, undead. And they were hungry. Hungry for your flesh. Nobody had dared come near the prison after they had realized what happened to the late rescue team. You must escape. If you are caught in their hands (get too close), it will kill you and eat you before your own dying eyes. If you escape, they die.
I would try staying away from Chernobyl since it is a real life tragedy, anything like power plants exploding and stuff would probably be fine, just not Chernobyl.
This would be a great game for a scary game that you can escape or maybe even a scary showcase but this is really amazing and love the material used and lightning to build this!
You already have a lot of ideas provided but seeing those pictures really remined me of the metro series. I think a story sort of like that one could go great with this, something like a post-apoc universe where this prison is a kind of last hold out for a group of survivors. Obviously from there you could write the story about these survivors situation slowly deteriorating, things like internal strife or invasion by external forces like other survivors or some sort of apocalyptic monsters.
Maybe you accidentally pressed a button that would destroy the world leaving only you, with a dangerous virus that latches on to people, later you know that the virus latched on to the people that work in the underground lab or site and you have to try to find a way to escape? I don’t know.
