[QUOTE="Abelhawk, post: 127901, member: 6171"] [COLOR="Yellow"]This isn't exactly a story, yet, but I thought it'd be a good place to post this. When I was a kid, me and my little brother would get on MS Paint and go to 8x magnification. Then we'd play a little game we simply called [B]Space[/B], where we'd have tiny little pixel ships to fly around, fight space bandits, and do maintenance on planets. Anyway, long story short, I dug up the old idea and I'm now making an RPG computer game based on those same ships. My problem is, I'm more of the Fantasy story-writing type, and I'm no Science Fiction freak at all. I have no idea what the storyling should be. If any of you are skilled in that area of expertise as far as storylines go, I would [I]love[/I] to hear from you. All of you can add ideas. So far, this is all I've programmed into the game, and I'm stuck. It's vague, but I sort of wanted it to be at the first so you're not sure what's going on.[/COLOR] [I][COLOR="LemonChiffon"]It's centuries into the future, and you awaken. You are an A-8 Probe, constructed in the Perseus-509 Space Station in outer space. A man known only as "Dr. Aton" speaks to you on a computer screen and tells you that you were constructed to aid the humans indirectly from the space station and throughout outer space. Your first mission is to travel to the swamp planet Oronne to retrieve the Perseus-509 Station's defense turret, which malfunctioned and crash landed somewhere on the planet.
