DELETED

I did not delete this out of “rage”. I literally read over this and thought; “This is garbage.”
I’ll still listen to any final input or statements though.

Greetings and Welcome, and thank you for your time!

So this is a rather crude and unorthodox concept that I’ve recently cooked up. Unfortunately, it’s sadly incomplete, and I have made little progress with it. Below are notes on literally just how far I’ve gotten, which isn’t very far.

NOTES AND IDEAS

+

•Our “villain”, Doctor Wilhelm Verner, or “Mekanikor”, has perfected a viral strain that reanimates the undead. This virus reanimates only the body and the most primal instincts within the mind, hence; Zombies.

•Verner distributes the virus into the cities’ water supplies and infects all of Union City. Once you die, you reanimate within mere minutes.

•As the city becomes ravaged by zombies, Verner releases an army of “Com-Bots” to secure the city. These robots mop up the police and national guard and effectively take all of Union City hostage. Verner then contacts Washington and threatens to infect other cities lest his demands are met.

•As the big-wigs in Washington scramble for a solution, Verner/Mekanikor’s Combots are scouring the city, rounding up survivors as prisoners and wiping out dangerously large hordes of zombies. Mekanikor is also prepping further defense measures to maintain control on the city. (Drones, Battle Armor, etc.)

•Players will role as survivors, fighting to survive the undead hordes and the patrolling combots, seeking to drag them off to Mekanikor’s makeshift concentration camps.

So as you can see, this concept does need work. Hefty work.

I am asking for input, feedback, ideas, comments, interest even.

And would anyone be willing to CO-GM this with me?

Well it sounds a bit like Dr.Robotnik and Sonic and other 2D platformer games. Is it too hazardous for me to proffer forth the idea that there should be some kind of platform jumping mechanics in it?

Its been a footnote in my mind for a while that if one wishes one could create a dark realism version of the sort of things Sonic is about.

And sonic has some wicked awesome style in it. Like you could immediately style the different combat levels with inspiration from Robotnik bases. For instance theres an oil ocean zone in a factory. Factories have allot of automotive oil, so this makes sense. Oil is crazy dangerous as you cannot swim in it, so you will sink straight to the bottom. Its a fun level hazard.

Do you want to know my spooky version of the Sonic universe?

Well, Robotnik like to stick animals in robots and then use them as slaves. However there is a song from sonic 2 called "Scrap Brain Zone". Why did they do this? That implies that not only does he remove their brains, but the brains die over time and are scrapped. This idea arrived in my head after attending a lecture by Professor Kevin Warwick in London. Warwick is developing robots that use rats brains. With the rat brain stuck inside the robot the rat is somehow able to move around his small robot and do various things indicating it is acting as the controller. However the brain always eventually dies from viruses. Viruses of course cannot be killed by antibiotics and even the best asceptic technique the little basterds still find their way in and eat the brain. Just imagine what it must be like to be the rat!? It must be actually quite harrowing! They are the first beings able to experience what it must be like to be a robot! Someone like Robotnik would be able to connect you to some kind of rewards system so that if you do as he commands you get an orgasm or something. Most likely this would be in the form of a leisure activity. Which explains casino land and carnival land. Most likely you are connected to some kind of mega internet which your access to is only given as a reward. You will actually be a brave explorer of robot-kind and robot-experience, something akin to an astronaut, a robo-naut. Who cares if a pesky hedgehog must die? I can tell you now that most people are weak willed and would give in to this. Those who choose to protest and not work their machines would be given sensory deprivation. Only the strongest zen master would be ok with this. After a while it is a fact that your brain will turn into a vegetable. How much the worse so must it be if a virus or even the machine itself damages the brain in charge. Robotnik just requires a replacement for you and you go to the scrap brain zone. Your brain is locked in a jar with no sensory input from the robot. Maybe the surgical process that extracted your brain didn't entirely disconnect your ears. Or maybe you just learn after a while to distinguish a change in blood pressure as a sound nearby. Maybe you work out by trial and error there is still a muscle attached somewhere that you can move. Desperately you bang the muscle on the metal jar every time you sense a sound. Hoping that someone will save you. The brain in a jar theory is also related to a philosophical argument.

And this is one of those reasons on the list as to why i will buy a gun one day. Albeit it is an unlikely eventuality.
