User blog:Queen Misery/Misery - the game?

Hi all

just a shameless little plug here to say Misery is going to be getting her own game soon - I'm working on it as we speak and it should be interesting.. I'm not uploading too much to avoid spoilers but it shall introduce a few concepts I think some of us will find interesting so here goes:

MISERY:- RISE OF THE INFINITES

 * The "Chosen" - the player character(s) are known as the "Chosen" and are once ordinary individuals who have gained supernatural power due to links with the Absolutes, a player has a choice at the beginning to choose which Absolute is their "patron" and this determines their "class" (along with abilities they gain). The Absolute one picks also determines what armor and weapons one can use later in the game.


 * First-Person Battle - unlike most RPGs I have deliberately went for the default "first-person" style view of RPG Maker, which means you see the enemy much as you would in a FPS rather than the usual Final Fantasy style side-view.


 * Morality - yep, this game will have a morality-scale, which will determine the ending as well as several other things: this morality-scale is effected by choices in-game and allows the "Chosen" to progress as the player wants - ranging from cold-blooded evil to neutral or even "pure of heart" level goodness (if one so desires): this also increases or lowers difficulty in some ways as it is considerably harder to be "pure of heart" or "true neutral" than, say, chaotic-evil etc.


 * The Infinites - the one spoiler I shall reveal and the focus of the game, The Infinites are going to be introduced in this game and are a powerful new pantheon who seek to take over as the new Absolutes of the multiverse: prompting the Absolutes in their creation of the "Chosen".
