I accept that my reality is always a dream so if something changes I know I'm right.

Sweet dreams and roses on your pillow.
This sounds like an absolutely incredible idea. you have my full support. |
|
Been a couple of months and no new posts here. I cannot login to the dev site anymore. Any activity or progress? |
|
Just out of curiosity (and lack of motivation to read the entire thread) what "feel" is this game going to have? |
|
DLC anyone? |
|
I was inspired by this game: |
|
In its current stage, the game is planned to be a kind of adventure RPG in which one of the key elements of gameplay is keeping your player lucid in a dream, or, if you are not already, becoming lucid by recognizing flaws in the world. As you progress through more and more dreams and discover your purpose in the dream world, you learn new abilities common to lucid dreaming such as flight and control of the elements. I'll admit I've never played NiGHTS or LSD, but hopefully that clarifies a bit on what the game will be like. |
|
I would apply if I knew java. Or had any idea on how to make games. |

I could have described it with some technical details, but I'm still confused about what sort of game do you want to do, I mean, it's not like you can connect your mind to a playstation and lucid dream your way to the victory, so, how do you want to make the game? Most of the new people (included me) aren't going to read the entire thread, so could you explain it a little in the first post please? |

Still I would prefer the game to be more turn-based and dramatic, a game about zombies would be great, you would have to fight zombies, to plan for the future (food, antibiotics, guns, ammo etc. ) and the most important, there would be a lot of drama due to the zombie disease, the end of the human civilization and all those things that occur in that sort of world. |

@Miguelinileugim - I would certainly alter my first post, but after 24 hours, you can no longer edit a post. |

Still I don't know how gameplay works, do you connect your mind to a game machine or what? |
|
Sorry about that. No, you don't hook up to a machine. It is "just" a video game. The idea is to be more than a typical game, but we aren't using any special hardware. I just thought that since people tend to dream of the game they played the night before, we could take advantage of that. |

I think that lucid dreams are too unstable for that, also, there are sooo many ways to lucid dream (apparently) that a game seems one of the hardest and less interesting ones... |
|
Like Sandman said, there's no special hardware, just the player and the console. While the exact details of the gameplay aren't set in stone, from what I understand it's going to be a real-time RPG. You pick up new skills as you go, but the defining factor through the whole game is your Lucidity meter. If you're in a dream and you go too long without reality checking/stabilizing, it'll go down and you'll lose access to many of your offensive powers, and the dream will become blurry and unstable and potentially collapse. |
|
Would you mind explaining that further? |
