Scratch

Well, anyway, I thoguht of this idea a while ago.

You are a star, the spirit of happiness.  One day, you wake up in a dungeon, with no memories at all except that your name is Starling (It's a she) and you have to keep back the spirit of dispair. (No name yet.)  You find your way out of the dungeon, and then find yourself in a high-tech building.  You go through the streets, the forest, the lake, the plains, the mountain, a storm cloud, and eventually get to the spirit realm.  Then you fight dispair and win, getting all your memories back.

After each world, you fight a boss.
You control yourself in a 2-D manner, with this: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/berberberber/2730021

What're those, exactly?

Humhumgames...

I know, but I never quite understood what they were based off of. Sheep? Clouds? Cauliflower? I dunno. Something fluffy. XP

Yeah.  The are cute, though.  They could be in the forest or by the lake, perhaps?

OMG. Man-eating humhums.

No, they are line rabbits or birds, in the game, I guess.  They don't really do anything, just there for decoration.

Okay. But we should probably get permission from humhumgames before we use them.

So, we're all set! Well, somewhat. We still need to figure out who the main character is, what they're doing, and how the aliens misinterpret the main character as the enemy.

Oops. Didn't see that post. :P

Hmm.
A few random thoughts about the idea:
-The character is named after a little bird?
-Memories of what?
-Traveling through those places would be pretty boring, unless of course, there were smaller enemies along the way.
-I think it'd be interesting if the spirits took on a form that corresponded with what they represent. Like, the spirit of despair could be represented as a wolf or snake.

Yeah, I know.  There is gonna be enemies, too.

You can break boxes while shooting, too.


Also, I think the game should be called shooting star.

So, decide:
Space RPG or Shooting Star?

I like Shooting Star, but what do you think?

Yea, I think Shooting Star will be a ton easier to make than an RPG, and it sounds potentially more fun. So, that has my upvote.
