Hello guys

I read this idea again and again and can't find the way to make it. Let me explain. The 95% of the idea is like a giant pre-game, like a cartoon movie that goes before the actual game and then it is 5% of the actual game. Even if I will spend a month working on this foreplay there will be no game in it.

It's not like I don't like the concept of it, it's my lack of understanding how to make it playable for you guys.

I was going to complain, about how I reject your explanation. But I know it would fall on deaf ears, and you guys do whatever you want anyway. So what difference does it make?

What are you talking about? I just read the idea and it has zero direction in terms of scenes.. It actually is just a large action movie script. It's left so open ended that they could do anything with it, but that's not really the point of the submissions system. Beyond that, those opening scenes would take a lot of time to make unless they are just still images with narration text. There are zero actual scenes written in it. They need sex scenes poses and dialog written in not just "their adventure to stop him begins."

The problem could be solved simply if only the finished idea could be submitted. Scene (more text and sex scene).

If you look at everyone's submitted idea, it's extremely minimal. There were submission guidelines (I don't know where they are now) to submit the slightest amount of information. No posted sex scenes, nothing. Just new concepts for heroes or villains, and Vadim said it would be cool to do something with mighty mom. In other words he wanted it very open ended, so it WAS part of the submission system this time around. That is why, against every fiber of my being, I wrapped it up with "their adventure to stop him begins." That was my attempt to follow at least part of the rules at this time.

But in my summary I did a bit more than that to set the scene, because I just can't write that short, and I was trying to force myself to. Thus my description is trash because the guidelines were so limiting. There are some other creative writers here as well, such as Punk43 and NoiNeku who DID follow the guidelines right. But they were forced to be lackluster. I am sure they could have done a much better and thorough job under normal pretenses.

Anyway 210 up votes with only 15 down. Even though it was a shit description I must have done something right. But meh, whatever, it's completely out of my hands so why stress about it?

Problem is this vote has been left there hanging for far too long. So long, they forgot the restrictions they put on the MnF metropolis idea at the time lmao.

It is may be a good idea for text book or comics, but a nightmare for game developers. The into will take a month to be made even just in static pictures. Sorry, Serrated, it seems as I'm not so good a game developer as you a brilliant story writer.

Well my goal is to be as humble as you someday, but with slightly better communication skills :D
