That's cool. It was just another title idea. Nothing concrete as it were. Helping you come up with other suggestions as the game title is there but not there as it were. Something that catches from the corner of the eyes of customers as they stroll the video game rack and was like "Hey what was that title all about? Where did it go?" And a name for the game to role off the tongue makes it even sweeter than nectar. What ever you choose, Repeat it consistently. Try a few days. Does the title make you want to play the game or does the game title sound sweet but its missing that certain something. Trial and error.

Other than having Alex run from the Enigma corporation or work for them undercover just to take out foreign and domestic political members, what other ideas are you working on that you personally would like to see and have to say, " Yep. Yeah This game stands out from the rest." And yes you have already asked that of me. Since nearly the hero topic is some what routed down. What about the Allies and enemies? Where do they fall into place?

Vehicles:

Basic controls vehicle layout:

Option 1:

Pad: Up = Acceleration
Pad: Down = Brake
Pad: Left and Right = Turning left and right
Or Pad can be used as weapon and special weapons placement and displacement

Option 2
Left Analog = Steering Wheel
Right Analog = Camera Movement
Square = ACC.
X = Handbrake
Triangle = Target lock on
Circle = Special Weapons
R1 = Fire weapon or Acceleration
L1 = Brake
R2 and L2 = Up shift and down shift on Manual Driver Vehicles

Note: It all depends on how you are comfortable with your driving and flying skills. I think you should have a default settings but also have novice, intermediate, expert, and advance driving and flying skills setup for the player. Also there are hundreds of combinations to set up the vehicle controls in a game.

Also about the flying lessons; it wouldn't just be for the character in the game it would also be for the player who is learning to fly your set controls in the helicopter. But everything else is automatic after said pratice lessons.

Your idea for the speedboat controls sounds realistic. One more thing. I enjoy driving with the left analog than the right analog and use the square buttong for acceleration or by using the R1 through L2 to help me drive said vehicle. Its much more comfortable that way. Unless the player is right handed or left handed.

If you are planning to continue with your storyline in multiple games, I suggest that you only reference the main locations the player will proceed in or to to work out on the case(s) and keep the newer ideas and suggestions of area/locations for later game seuqels and prequels.

Hope this helps you out more.

How about this?

He was betrayed.
They said he was the traitor.
He is one man against a million.
Alex Blake is The Target.
Can you be The Target?

Or something along them lines for the blurb style thing for the game.
So you are saying not to tell you the locations i had planned for the game ehh?
Also how about this if i made a sequel The Target 2: Enigma Theory, sounds good?
I was thinking of having the controls for the boat like LT-LB for the accelerator for the speedboat, the left thumbstick for the wheel, right thunbstick for camera and RT for shooting. Also how do you think i could impliment this flying lessons part, just to wonder? It sounds a good idea. Also it's not just the Enigma Corporation after him, he does even know they are after him, more like politician's bodyguards, drug lords goons. but in the finale you meet your maker so to speak don't want to give to much away. Might write it in the form of a book to get a better perspective of my ideas. I didn't think about allies except for Ajax who gives you intel along the way. Any ideas?


What time zone are you in Ghostknight, because everytime i come online it says you were last online at times like 2:30AM, i set mine to GMT but it isn't the time it should be.

Hiya King,

I was typing in sleep mode. I knew what I was talking about on the area / locations but I guess you didn't understand. That's alright. I can clearify it more now that I am awake. lol. Anyways. What I ment was to not spoil the next destinations for the second game in the first game. Let the players and even the character find out in the sequel, since this is an espionage game right?

For my time online I am on Eastern Mountain Time. East coast of United States.

Yeah I like that second game title.

For the speedboat. Those are good controls. Keep those.

For Allies. It can be one or a few people or many. It all depends on how far you want your main character to keep in contact with the unit he works for or no contacts at all other then Ajax. If you want use allies sparingly. Only in rough spots in the storyline to help Alex get out of tough jams. But let Alex figure out things for himself as well.

So far what do you have already in your game documents?

Main Title: The Target
Main Story: ?
Character Biography: ?
Ally: Ajax
Main Enemy Character: Enigma Corporation
Sub Enemy Character: Damien Verios
Vehicles: All
Area/ Locations: Real World Locations
Weapons: Real World Weapons
Armor: Real World Armor
Items: Real World Items
Accessories: Real World Accessories
Other Enemies: Gangs, Thugs, Men in Suits, Double Agents, Etc
Enemy, SubBoss, and Boss Statistics: ?

Game will be stylized fast action chase and get away adventure. Some hide and seek defenses, Real world fight combat, from hand to hand to hand and weapon and weapon to weapon combat. Stunts from high falls and through real world breakable objects is also high advantage in the game document.

So is King, Is there anything else I have missed with your game layout so far?

Do you have any character drawings of Alex Blake, Ajax, Damien Verios, or characters from Enigma Corporation?

Yeah i might have the idea of allies in rough situations, for example in a big ambush allies could come in and help. Also to be honest i haven't started a game design plan as so to speak, this was more of a feedback and ideas thing, but now i will start to get it written up. Also i don't have any character drawings because i am pretty crap at drawing. I will do up the design plan with more sub bosses and email you it later. You practically summed it up in one paragraph what the game is about. I will e-mail you back or PM you back about any more ides and the plan. Thanks for all your help. Oh do you have your email on your page?

That's cool and your welcome. Yes my email is on my profile. No problem. Glad to be of service with helping out a fellow game designer. Will be looking forward to your email some time this week or next. No rush.

What do you think would be a good name for the operation that the meeting is about? Operation:
Golden Falcon
Golden Eagle
Fallen Falcon
Fallen Eagle
Just for some ideas.
I have finished the design document and will email you it soon. It is only a quick brief.

Ok sorry i forgot to put the fact that the meeting is part of the tutorial at the beginning, after sneaking his way to a vantage point Alex over hears and sees a meeting between 10 of the worlds most powerful men, taking about ( some kind of world domination plan, robbing all the world's banks, setting of emps, feedback if you want) and this is what the name for the operation is for. The people include a swedish chemical weapons expert, some member of the british government, a chinese triad weapons dealer, a brazilian druglord, two fancy bankers in suits for the funds or something along that line, the american president who has nothing to do with it but is trying to find out who is part of the conspiracy, he helps you at the final scene, maybe leading to a sequel where you work for him (don't know about this idea? What do you think? i just want to feature a white house shootout, with the washington monument, senate building), the leader of the Engima Corporation (i didn't want to give this away), an arabian oil baron and a big hurly russian man who lives in a big cabin in the woods ( imagine Estate Takedown on MW2 but bigger and his name Ivan to give you a picture).

Oh wow. What a great idea you have there. The one that stands out to me is Operation: Fallen Eagle. But this sort of contradicts itself about United States as it were being fallen under the conspiracy. Unless you have other plans and it sounds good. I only point it out because the EAGLE is America's National Bird. But again I could be looking it from a totally different view.

Anyways.

I like the final ending as it stands out. Yes, a sequel would be most appropiate for your storyline. Now that I think of it, Operation Fallen Eagle makes more sense that the meeting was in some way trying to take over the United States but like in the end, We The People Stand up for what is right for the citizens in our nation. So yeah. Sequel a must. This final scene would be awesome for a omage of a Mission Impossible, Bourne Supremacy feel to it.

A huge ceremony for Alex Blake and everything looks to be normal until a cut scene inturrupts the ending with credits still rolling by on the bottom of the screen. Four F.B.I. Agents walk up to Alex at the Ceremony and tells him that the President wants to see him personally. News reporters cameras flash and trying to get comments from Alex Blake and his companion Ajax. Ajax stands in front, trying to block the media from following. Doors open up and then shut from behind. Alex is in the middle of the Agents as they continue to walk down some corridors and enter a secret elevator of the White House. Down a few more corridors and thjen at the end of the hall is the double doors to the Oval Office. The doors open up and the group walks in and the scene is cut. Credits roll by and animated scenes area shown in silence. At the end of the credits. A last voice over animated scene is shown. Camera pans back abit and views Alex shaking the President's hand and says something like " When do we start?" Camera pans back to the President and says, "Imediately". Camera goes from interior shot of Oval office to Exterior shot of the White house and views the entire area of Washington and the Washinton Monument. In the lower right hand corner of the monitor shows the President's Helicoptor take off and flys into the view of the players. Credit still rolling. Music ends and Sequel title rolls up. End GAME.

What do you think? Any comments, ideas, suggestions?

Instead of Ivan. How about Demetri?

Same thinking mate i first had the idea of Operation Golden Eagle, but then that sounded to "used" so i thought Operation Fallen Eagle sounded more appropriate because of the American Presidential Symbol is a Eagle. ( that is right isn't it i am from the UK you see) Ah and also the meeting could be about overthrowing the presidency to take over the U.S, thus leading to Fallen Eagle. Also i ike the name Demetri, i only used Ivan as a placeholder as so to speak. Your ending cut scene is amazing!!!!! I think that, that is perfect for a lead on to the next game, also when the helicopter pans around to the player is Alex could be stood in it with a gun in his hand, then the credits fade out as the helicopter flys out over the National Mall to it's next objective. Also just as a little add on the player could walk Alex to the president's office rather than a cut scene?
