Voiceless - The story based RPG
What is this game?
Voiceless is a RPG game about a man who suddenly enters a world filled with humans where no one has the ability to speak, rendering them “Voiceless”. This man ventures through the real effects on the human mind in a world like such.
Tell me more about this world
The world our protagonist wakes into is inhabited by beings completely like humans, except for the ability to create a sound, although they all mysteriously still comprehend English. This world is very similar to earth, in fact, it contains all biomes, civilizations and all such matter as earth does, but with one difference, the entire world is made up of matter from all points in time and all dimensions. What I mean, is that everything is visually out of place, with tables from the 21st century and chairs from another dimension.
What is the story of this game?
Voiceless’ story consists of the main (currently unnamed) character wakening into this new world. He soon learns the disability of the humans on this planet, and begins to work around it. The humans communicate through their native tongue of tapping sticks to the ground. He spends his time there trying to find out a way to bring back their voices and find a way for him back home.
How will this game look?
This is the interesting part, the world is a collection of multidimensional time periods, being such, it will look odd. For that reason, and the fact that this game is being made by me, myself, and I, I thought it would be an interesting idea, to collect assets solely from google images, and incorporate them into the game. I do give each piece a filter to make it fit in a bit, but each item will be different. Call me lazy, call me artsy. Now copywrite might be an issue as always, but since I am not getting any funds from this, and I’m not claiming to own any of the art, I think we will be fine.
How long will this game be?
I am aiming to have this game be half an hour long, and meant to be played in one sitting. It may be shorter, but I wont stretch it more than the short story needs to be.
What kind of features will this game have?
Since this is my first game to program myself (I have done game design and other areas before), I need to learn a lot of things still, Game Maker wise. I have the basics down sort of, but I still have A LOT to learn. Anyhow, here are some of the projected features I think this game will have:
Fully Voice Acted
Shout System (Not like Skyrim)
(probably more to come)
When might this game come out?
I am aiming for this game to be out by the end of June 2016, but It might be pushed back further because of how new I am to programming games. So in about 3 months.
Where can I find out more about this game?
Well, if you have any more questions, you can ask in the comments, but, every Saturday, I will post an update introducing you to a different aspect of the game.
