Fledgling Fyora NovaDragon Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Here's my idea for geneforge6: You begin as a newly- shaped creation made by a shaper loyalest living alone in an infested forest. One day, the rebels come and kill the shaper who created you. Because they didn't see you, they loot the house and leave. Now you and your fellow rouge creations have to escape the forest alive! After a bit of wandering, you find a genforge. After using it you upgrade to a similar creation. Now with your bigger brain you can pick secs and help them conquer the world! With the help of more genforges of coarse... And as always you get to choose your strengths and weaknesses: Fire: -Shapeing = strong -Magic = weak -Flora-> Drake-> Drakon Magic: -Magic = strong -Battle = weak -Artila-> Glahkk -> FireBolt* Battle: -Battle = strong -shapeing = weak -Thald-> battle alpha -> War Trall [size:8pt]I think changing gazer to firebolt wold me more fair to players; The gazer kills any thing that crosses it's path but up graded class 2 creations are probably about the same in power compared with class 1 AND gazers aren't related to glahkks; Glahkks are artias with legs (as far as I can see) and wingbolts are artilas with wings. Aside from a story for the beginning, here are some other ideas: -creation armor: fits creations with similar appearances -creation inventory: different sizes for different creations ie. an ornk could have a large inventory -some way to reload wands like batons (not making new ones all the time) -the ability to make ornks and servies as a class of creations -the ability to make turrets as a class of creation I couldn't find a category for this so, if this is in the wrong place, I know. And I haven't played geneforge for a while so my spelling is probly way off. Unless the words are unreadable there's NO need for complaints because I know.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Feo Takahari Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Brilliant in terms of plot, but the classes don't sound very balanced. In particular, the Artila sounds a lot like the "Sorceror" that has been repeatedly suggested but never included in the game because it would be overpowered.

Garrulous Glaahk Dark Neptune Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 The idea a bit too Imaginative, but I prefer Genforge 5 for now. Geneforge 6 seems odd to think of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenderfoot Thahd Drayk Shade Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 If Jeff is adding it, he probably made some way to make it less overpowered.

Kyshakk Koan Lifecrafterandnoobeditor Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 the sixth one would feel kinda like dragging it on.... the story has been building to a climax and a development of a sixth game within the next, say, four years would just feel cheap and tainted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila Arori4 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 A good way to connect Geneforge 5 and 6 is to make it the aftermath of the war, where people are hungry and starving, thieves and robbers have taken over as the shaper or rebel economy fails. Then someone needs to rise and bring order. And that's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Luca Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Neb likes when he says ...After a bit of wandering you find a geneforge...heheheheh...Oh... Anyway, even if there was a sixth one, Neb'd want one where you were a respected shaper for once. Instead of a peon apprentice or rouge creation. Even though Nebulan knows that it's easier to write a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book like that. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Alex Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 If you run out of (proper) sequel ideas, you can go George Lucas and try with prequels (and prequels to prequels).

Kyshakk Koan Lifecrafterandnoobeditor Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 lol yes George Lucas can make a prequel out of anything, but then we'd have shapers with choking abilities and daggers that look like lightsabers, and there'd be a Jar-Jar Binks creation....

Kyshakk Koan Lifecrafterandnoobeditor Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 lol at convex lenses idea.... oh, and glaahks cant be legged artilas, because that would require a natural evolution from the artila stage to the glaahk stage, which isnt possible because they were both shaped.....

In other words, the artila design modifies or modified an existing, normal animal.

Well-Actually War Trall The Ratt Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I think this idea for GF6 would be better off as a side story independent of the pc of any Geneforge, but still in the same setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Luca Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 It makes sense that Jeff would create this one as his last. With ever Geneforge game, with it's multiple ending options Jeff would have to decide which one would happen to set the story for the next one. Geneforge 5 is set at the highest stakes. Choosing which one prevails would create mass discontent by eliminating either the Rebels or the Shapers or by creating two games which would suck for him.

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Since only a small fraction of the world's Christians are creationists, and certainly not all creationists are Christian, it's hard to see what Christianity has to do with this.
