The puppet (working title)
Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2008 7:16 am
Hi,
I'd like to enter the contest. I've made 3 out of 7 planned missions so far, here is what I'm going to prepare:
THE PUPPET
Dr. John Staunton is a scientist working in the Alpha Research Center. As a biologist, he's a member of professor Edward Rosenstein's workgroup. Their project is top secret - they are going to create a new liveform! Now, it is a final stage of their project. Famous professor Rosenstein has finally accomplished his efforts: man 'produced' a creature equally intelligent and of the same physical attributes as the mankind! For some people that's grave news... But why should Staunton and Rosenstein take care of it - they are working for government, their research is fully legal, and they are well protected in the Center. When professor contacts John and asks him to come as quickly as possible to the experimental sector of the Center, Staunton doesn't know that this is only the beginning of his twisted and dangerous adventure, during which he'll visit three continents, command an army and meet mysterious people, becoming just a puppet in their hands...
It will be an alternative story, no connections to original StarCraft at all. Everything will take place on the Earth, in the future (we don't know exactly, where is the Alpha Center and when does the plot happens). Combination of a RPG and typical RTS, "The puppet" shall provide you original, surprising story and not very challenging gameplay (I created it as a story to tell, not a challenge only for experienced users). I'm not very able at programming or modding, or even music-making, so I won't probably include any additional customs nor music. I would like "The puppet" to be something like interactive film, so difficulty level should be similar to BW campaigns.
And here is our main hero:
John Staunton
29 years old, Master of Science in biology. Intelligent, slightly ironic and independent man. His amazing talent in science was quickly discovered by his teacher and tutor, professor Edward Rosenstein. Soon after achieving the Master degree, he left the university and began his work as a specialist in the Alpha Research Center. This top secret government facility is working on the most ambitious and dangerous projects in the mankind's history. John was an assistant of Rosenstein, whose task was to develop a new live form. Slightly frightened at the beginning, Staunton quickly realized that this is what he always wanted to do - changing the world forever. He doesn't have any second doubts about the positive role of his works - it is all for the development of humanity, he thinks. Creating another civilization may help us to better understand ourselves, to learn form each other, to improve life level all in the world. Idealist, he wants to be absolutely pure morally, he hates using strength, although he's quite a good sportsman. Workaholic, he doesn't have any private life. All he had he sacrificed to the science.
I'll post some screens in the evening.
P.S. Where should I put the link to the part of my campaign made so far? Shall I do it here?
P.S.2. Sorry, but I'm a computer idiot: how to post images from my computer in the post? Using [img] helps only when the picture is on the Internet, isn't it?
