Re: Malise and the Machine - Public Demo Available Now!
Wow, wow slow down cowboy
No no, little me is not a cowboy... and 3 years fly fast, little me just butt in a bit since the last comments are a bit scary.
Before Patreon existed you get the funds for your project from a bank.
The Bank is really hard to please to get their money.
A demo and a basic/bone structur of the story/game seems the minimum for patreon.
Didnt follow to much but did he/they present a basic/bone structur for the story/game?
If not maybe he/they should give it a shot.
Form the demo V0.05, I can built that kind of structur.
Ex:
Start
Stage 1 - Facility n°1
Basic Tutorial
MC Presentation
Stage 2 - Outside the facility n°1 / Ruined town
Following a lead
MC didn't get anything from the lead
Going back to mother base?
Stage 3 - Mother base1 - (Human city / Big building)
Taking number of request/mission to advance story, get some gear and supply.
"Malise get some memory back or quest give new lead"
Dungeon 1 Type forest
Dungeon 2 Type desert
Stage 4 - Facility n°2 or back to facility n°1
Got new lead
Stage 5 - Mother base1 or another one
Following the lead give intel to Final stage
but need to get stronger or get special item to access it
New batch of quest etc...
Dungeon 3 Type snow
Dungeon 4 Type cave/ruin
Stage XX - Last facility - Final boss
The End
Since he/they release some demo already, he/they should get a bit of intel of what they can produce within a time frame.
a batch of Mapping take that long
a batch of CG art take that long
a batch of Event/script take that long etc...
Once they got a basic structur for the public they can develop it more, a bit like this maybe for them.
Stage 1 - Facility n°1
Zone1
Basic Tutorial
1st Puzzle mechanic (Fuse)
Boss tutorial
Zone2
Story event1 Malise get!
First Goal1
Presenting Stage boss
Stage boss.
A locked/not working stair left unexplored (maybe for later)
Stage 2 - Outside the facility n°1 / Ruined town
Zone1
Following a "dead" lead1 event 1
Encounter with "local gang"
Gang event 1
Zone2
2nd Puzzle mechaninc (Note with code)
Gang event 2
Following a "dead" lead1 event 2
Gang event 3
Stage boss
MC didn't get anything from the lead 1
Going back to mother base
Stage 3 - Mother base - Human city / Big building
Taking number of request/mission to advance story, get some gear and supply.
Quest 1 Rescue mission
Dungeon 1 Type forest
Puzzle?
Potential new ennemis ......
Quest 2 Machine part gatherings
Dungeon 2 Type desert
Puzzle?
Potential new ennemis ......
A good night rest after 2 quest
"Malise get some memory back or new quest give new lead"
Possiblity: A human town or building may lead to some prostitution scene
Stage 4 - etc....
With a structur like that planning thing out maybe easier.
And since V0.05 mean nothing why not giving a name to the demo.
Demo02 "Facility infiltration"
If other demo show part of other town like "Mother base"
Demo03 "Back home" etc.....
Each new demo can restrict the choice of costum the mc is wearing to ease the production if the deadline fixed is not enough.
Don't know how to add spoiler yet to reduce the post sorry
