Hey,
currently I'm working on a story for my game. But somehow I got a blockade in my head. I can't think of a nice plot for my game.
So far I came:
There are 4 guys. They are going on a journey and leave their home, a little isle, to experience some adventures. With a ship they're moving to a big city.
Of course I wrote this longer and with some stuff, but this is how far I came.
Now I need some ideas, what could happen to them. I need a primary target, what they want to reach with their journey and maybe some smaller problems on the way to solve it.
I hope someone could help me, as I'm stuck with that for almost a month now^^
You shoulda gone to China. You know, 'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.
... And then the Prince Knelt Down and tried to put the Glass Slipper on Cinderella's Foot by Judith Viorst
I really didn't notice that he had a funny nose.
And he certainly looked better dressed up in fancy clothes.
He's not nearly as attractive as he seemed the other night.
So I think I'll just pretend that this glass slipper feels too tight.
The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love.

The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. (Albert Einstein)
sounds like you need to start with deeper characters. what kinds of personalities do they have? what exactly would they be looking for in an adventure? how big is the boat they're on? are there other people on the boat? what is the world like? it would help if you could design the entire world, and just take a slice of it. there is something in acting called the 'iceburg character' where the actor will make up the character's entire life up until the beginning of the story, and use that in their portrayal of the character. i know it sounds dumb to come up with a bunch of backstory that you may not even use, but it would really help shape the characters, and then the story should write itself. if it doesn't, just add more depth to your characters.
First, I tried the generators of seventh sanctum, I have to say they're great for ideas.
KasperKalamity: I pictured my characters really good, but it's in german, so I have to translate this first. The world is set as well, but not really deep. Without a plot I can't really set the world.
Thanks for this advice, I'll try to make them deeper.
your story and your world have to develop side by side in a way. whats going on in your world that might affect your characters on the boat or once they get to where they're going? does anyone on the boat know about the rest of the world? what is the inspiration behind their wanderlust?
i think it was the first kingdom hearts where the characters kind of knew about the outside world, but weren't sure. what do your characters know about their world?
