I've been racking my brain recetly for some good art ideas and along the way I came into thinking of An idea for a game. In this world, every so many years(probally 100, im not sure yet) a wishing star crashes and legend says who ever can reach the star before it fades away can have a wished granted. The main character, was lucky enought to get to the star and wished for eternal youth, but, the wish the star grants can backfire, if the wish was made for selfish purposes. About 100 years later, the next wishing star is seen circleing the earth and the main character,(still the same age and everything) try to find the star to kill himself. Over time, he became depressed with seeing everone he cared for die while he kept living. By thos point, he has wrist cut, a bullet wound and whatnot in an attempt to kill himself. While looking for the star he meets alot of diffent character. Also, spoilers fo the ending. In the end, he uses the star to bring back the girl he loves, who died saving him mind you, so she can live forever along side him. *damn alot of typing* -_- I have some art drawn out already to som im happy at where this is going.

While this isn't necessarily a cry for help, Help would be appreciated. I've added a few things to the story to build up more conflict, for example, the main heroine, who is in love with the main character, has a something along the lines of a reincarnation of death, or at least the reincarnation of his arm...>.> She has a demon/Death like arm recklessly and awkwardly in her back. Also to add the the strangeness of how I would like the game to be, she wears and apron. Diffent no? Either way, Ideas would be nice, somthing odd and out of the norm.

Well, maybe within the first ten years or so But if the "Wish Interval" is 100 yrs, then I figure he would give up on suicide after a while and start trying his best to live his life (ie: meets up with the story's Love Interest at some point)
But I was thinking, if this is a plot for a game, then 100 yrs is a long as hell in-game duration (LOZMM was only three/four days long) Either we jump in during the later years and a back story is told, possibly cut off a few by "and he woke from his coma, X yrs later", sorta like the 7 years in OOT. OR We could make this a "side story", this character being a character who joins the main characters group, then he could tell his story and inspire a long chain of events in the game's plot.
But if anybody wants to seriously try making this game, I've been working on (planning in my head) a multi-threaded java game engine that we could use, if someone else would do the gfx for it. And seeing as there's a few members here who speak better in OTHER languages, once we're done see if anyone would like to help us translate it.

Honesly Snotskie, I really like the whole "meet up with the main character's party thing" have him as a sub main characterof sorts. As for the graphic, I'll be glad to provide them, in fact i've been spriting again to get into the flow of animating characters.But regardless, Pm some ideas you might have and we'll see where this story can go.
Although, for time saveing's sake, my oringinal idea was the game would start off with the main character making his wish, screen fades to black, intro plays, then the real story about 100 years later happens. So we pretty much skip his life until he meets the heroine, who meets him trying to hang himself in a forest. Of course thats just a rough idea.
