FOR AGES I'VE BEEN TOSSING AROUND THE IDEA OF A STORY FOR A GAME WITH A TEDDY BEAR FIGHTING NIGHTMARES AS THE HERO AND THE STORY WOULD BE SURPRISINGLY DEEP AND A LITTLE SCARY AND THAT WAS LITERALLY ALL I HAD GOING BUT TONIGHT OUT OF NOWHERE I GOT A MORE SOLID FOUNDATION TO BUILD ON AND MORE IDEAS AND THIS EXCITES ME SO MUCH NOW HOW DO I FIND PEOPLE TO MAKE THIS INTO A VIDYA GAME FOR ME
I'll help design game mechanics if we can make it work as a rhythm based FPS. I've got a really kickass idea for a rhythm based FPS combat system.
The way I'm conceiving the game, the combat is all focused on defending rather than fighting; the teddy bear's only weapon is a small wooden toy shield. He protects his little girl owner by defending her from nightmares and bad things, physically repelling them and also finding and bringing to remembrance happy things, helping her find the courage to dispel them herself and find her own courage. ...I don't know how I'd implement it, though. Maybe as a platformer.
...Actually, yeah, kinda. But you play as the bear, and it's not a horror game. It's more the bear traveling through the kid's dreams than traveling with the kid.
Yeah, why I put "almost." Still a neat idea. Best I could probably do to help is like, enemy design ideas?
It' s weird, neither my sisters nor I had any "doudou" (French for the piece of clothe/plushie some kids carry around everywhere they go, usually ends up looking like a bacteria paradise). I mean we had plushies, but they were just toys to us. The more I think about it the more I think it might explain why I have no emotional need for a God either. But here' s the weirder thing : http://www.livescience.com/8737-grown-ups-security-blankets.html
I had both a teddy and a blanket, and I toted them both around everywhere, but I don't think I ever slept with the bear? And the blanket was a blanket. I still have both, on a shelf in my room.
I still have my baby blanket, though it's seen better days because of frequent washings. And I have a stuffed lion that is on the bed when I sleep. I tend to hug a pillow these days.
