Lost but not Alone

@dreamerAh, you are correct. My mistake, I'll remove the tunnel connection to the center island from Tyre territory. I left the map at my mother's house so I might go get it Sunday, or wait until I got back over there Wednesday. Might color in some parks or something.

If you're alright with it I'd like to try to help with the information base as well. You're not obligated to use anything I make, so don't feel bad rejecting anything. I do this for fun.

I was only asking about Discord because it's a chat room, quick for messaging. PM on here will work fine though.

@Synthesis

Alright, I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I appreciate people's ideas and feedback. I work with a team of several people on video games so I'm used to it :)

Okay sorry it took this long. But finally have a post in the works. give me abit here and I'll have something up soon.

@BigPapaBelial

Looking forward to it Papa!

EDIT: Also moving forward I'll probably add some sort of structure to post like this...

Date: Day 91, 7am

Location: North Island, Sector N-4

Actual post content here...

Lost but not Alone

@dreamer Are you on the guild Discord? I'm still doodling this map, wondering how many districts there should be.

I thought around 5-6 was a good number.

Doodle Update

Red Lines are Underground Tunnels, making each island have a total of four connections.

Black Lines are district boundaries.

Brighter Yellow are Highways/Freeways and Bridges
Orangish Lines are Main Thoroughfares and Avenues.
No sense in mapping the beehive of smaller streets.

@Synthesis

This is great, and yeah no need for smaller streets. However the South Island, Tyre territory has three bridges and two tunnels so it actually has five compared to the other two having four. I do like the idea of the island though being a no man's land for everyone to battle over. You could take it from Tyre if you were Chimera but have so few troops left to defend that Toxin then comes in. It's a nice central location.

EDIT: No I'm not on Discord and I work 6 days a week so I'm not on often. I'm actually heading to work now. You can dm me here though, add me on skype at dakota.barrett.71, or email me at [e-mail]. (Or add me on Twitter @LivingDreamEnt)

Lost but not Alone

@Synthesis Lol it's just a mockup, nothing's even drawn out yet. I don't want to spam chat here with the game but yeah I'm pretty proud of how it's coming along.

Game Talk

(2D Board, 3D one will be made at a later date)


It's a three player, survival game. Your goal is to survive 14 days and outlast the storm you're in. You can work with or against the other players and will likely do a bit of both. In the last game I played with our programmer, I had stocked up on some supplies but got injured by hail so Bo took advantage of that and killed me to loot my corpse.



We'll have a playable alpha in November though we're planning to have an Indiegogo Campaign in January to add more content to the game such as more characters to play as, scenarios to survive through, and encounters to face (animals, monsters, bandits, the like).

Lost but not Alone

@dreamer

True. Also the Chimera have two. I planned to add an underground tunnel as well.

Balance the finite details of an RTS style against roleplay elements his a difficult task, I agree. I'll PM you some of ideas, maybe they be of help.

@Synthesis

Don't know why I wrote one at first and then later two. It's what I get for multitasking (working with an artist on an illustration piece for a board game / video game we're making)

Working on a rough layout in 3D before painting over

Lost but not Alone

Well you have a good concept down to me.
Perhaps a district can only be taken over by completing special actions? (Like convoys, stronghold take downs, VIP assassinations, etc.) Which would probably devolve down into a numbers game of your resources vs the objective require to complete a takeover, or perhaps you can give out special opportunities to increase influence through character interaction. Perhaps different strengths of takeover as well? Where each takeover knocks down the difficulty of control.

@Synthesis

Perhaps something like that. We're just limited on what we can do with written words balance wise. Otherwise I'd make it like a turn based game where players take turns and then if your people get killed or do the killing it's fair and not just, "Synthesis just made up some tanker truck to throw at me."

EDIT: Also I just noticed in the map that Toxins and Tyre have three bridges and the Chimera have two. This would mean that the Chimera would be the easiest to defend since they have just two regions to put units at and the other two have three to defend from invasion.

Lost but not Alone

Thanks for having me a'board. I'll work on an IC post soon.

Map doodle

@Synthesis

Well that was quick. I pretty much just had time to add your character to the character list XD Then I was reading your bio and saw you made a post.

Nice work on the map. We can divide that into districts later. I'm still trying to come up with how we'll handle the businesses and strategy elements of the roleplay.

Lost but not Alone

@dreamer
I was looking for a kind of darker looking individual that was a close up, speedy sort of combatant. Mercer just fits that profile best.

@Synthesis

No worries, I like the character and his looks work for the rp. Good having you!

Lost but not Alone

@Synthesis Awesome, nice to have another character join the roster. Funny thing is even though Alex Mercer's (The prototype guy that it looks like you used for reference) look does kinda fit the Toxin's setup. I actually was inspired by that game when creating The Chimera. Something I forgot to put was that they have members that lost themselves in so much mutations that they are more beast than man and are controlled by others.

But yeah you're guy fits the Toxins and I look forward to his interactions with @cthulu's Amala :)

As for the map I can try to write some more info when I have some time off. I was going for a bit of a New York kinda feel with the Tyre having the more port and trade part of the city, The Chimera having the slums, and the Toxins having the main downtown area. I'll provide you more info when I have the chance.

Lost but not Alone

@cthulu It was amazing. Thank you for starting off our rp with a bang. I feel inspired to bring more to this rp as soon as I have the time.

<Snipped quote by dreamer>
I'll take a whack at Primary although I can see him dropping down to Secondary with someone else in the group taking up that position if things somehow manage to get worse with him.

Shame about your co-workers. Take your time, there's no need to rush on the IC post.

@ModeGone

Too late XD

IC is live (albeit shorter than I planned), all characters start with nothing. Your first post are to introduce us to your character and their lives. Have fun!

EDIT: I will be making GM post throughout the IC to keep things going so just roleplay and I will provide any story pushers if you get stuck. I'll also introduce mechanics like the turf wars and businesses.
