"NeoSenshi is planned to be an epic story focusing on Zieg Ross, general of Squadron Eight of the NeoSenshi Unit. The NeoSenshi Unit is a government-owned corporation being told it is serving the country when, in reality, it is a tool used to put down revolts and protests against the government. The NeoSenshi Unit is run by a soldier named Marcus whose father founded the corporation. Marcus makes many of the administrative decisions, but is still a puppet of the government. It is during a crushing of an onslaught of riots that the government finds out about a corporation known as NeoGene. They order NeoSenshi to have it investigated, and strange things begin to unfold. The corrupt government begins to seem meager as some darker secrets are discovered. As NeoGene and NeoSenshi begin to put together the big picture, people begin to die. Can Zieg uncover the mysteries of his world before his number's up?" so...yeah. that's directly from my site. here's a link to the first chapter. feel free to respond here. enjoy. home.comcast.net/~smurf85/onlinestorage/NeoSenshi_Ch1.htm-the smurf

This is VERY good. ;D Very well-written, and I like how you really delve into how the characters think. I read the whole thing, and this seems like a great first part for the brief summary above. Keep posting when you finish new parts! ;D

Your brief summary sounds like a very good premise for a game. I went to your site, but I don't think I have time to read that between classes right now. The fact that you've taken the time to write out the story so thoroughly certainly bodes well for your game: you definitely won't run out of ideas to add when you get temporarily stuck somewhere.

I briefly read it, sounds good. The fact that you outlined all the individual dialogue, motives etc. is really something.

It's difficult and lengthy since everything will be done with cutscenes, but you can make it into a game. A big chunk of my current game is 'missions' and 'Headquarters', which this format sounds like it would work for you. I certainly don't blame you for not trying to make it on RPGM2 though, because it would pretty much all have to be done through cutscenes, which takes a ton of work. So far my game's about 30 minutes of cutscenes and 30 minutes of playing, and from what I read yours would be about the same: they'd play the battling at the beginning and play managing items/talking to people at Headquarters, but the rest would be cutscenes. Either way's good though since it's written well.

It would be pretty cool to make something that was half cutscenes, half strategic battling. I would play it, although I'm sure it would be a lot of work to make.

Sorry that I didn't read this earlier.
I noticed that your story sounded a lot like your post in the "Theories of Life" thread. Is that the main theme of your story?
Anyway, I enjoyed reading it. Very good.

Is that the main theme of your story? well, it plays a part in the story. i don't want to give anything away, but let's say that talks of fate, afterlife, death, and coincidence will be fairly common throughout the story. thanks for the feedback. -the smurf

good summary . I have ta say that I think, even if there were no battles, it'd be a cool game, what with cutscenes and all. I'm more of a visual person though. Anyway, sounds good .

got some cool news...change of plans. originally i had Ch2 planned for a mid-June release, but i didn't realize i was practically done. so, chapter 2 is now available on my site. Chapter 2: The Soldier in the Squarecheck it out and gimme some feedback. there's already been a ton of forshadowing, symbolism, and clues throughout the first two chapters, so feel free to analyze some stuff. of course, i'm not going to reveal anything. have fun, and enjoy the saga. -the smurf

Another nice chapter. If there was a smiley that clapped hands, I'd put it here. One problem though... They chose chicken over steak!?

hm...good point. dunno why i made them choose chicken... anyway, thanks for the compliments. i'll probably get started on chapter 3 once may is finished. this weekend's been brutal with homework and next weekend will be, too. but after that i should be done with homework for the rest of the year pretty much. look forward to lots of action in 3...cause 4 will be, uh, not action... -the smurf

well, i had the same error with the email on your site, and its too long for a single pm, so i'll have to do a few pms per chapter. -the smurf edit: i sent you both chapters through a total of 5 pms. enjoy. ;D

When you click on a mailto link, it tries to open up your computer's default e-mail client in order to write an e-mail to the name you have clicked on. If you do not have a default e-mail client set, it will give you an error message.
To send an e-mail to ves, simply write an e-mail the way you normally do, with his e-mail address in the Send To field.

so, i'm thinking of starting chapter 4 sometime soon, but i want to ask something before i commit to it. i always have a hard time committing myself to these types of projects, especially since i have so many going on at the same time. i enjoy the story and like what i'm doing with it, but i want to make sure it's worth continuing. it's a lot of work on my part, finding time to work on it while also dealing with my other projects, sitting down and writing it exactly the way i want it, trying to sort out the various ideas i have for it, and so on. i just want to make sure it'll be worth the effort in the end. so, to my question. is there enough interest in the story for me to continue or is it not worth the effort? i'd like to know before i start so that i'm not doing it in vain. thanks. -the smurf
