Thread: Lucid Dream Game Idea

This whole thing reminds me of LSD: Dream Emulator ( 199X, Japan, PS1)..

Definately GREAT idea.
I would love to do some Graphics for you
Kinda experienced in Photoshop.
Just tell me all Details, thats the only catch.

When the beta is coming up, or when you guys have a website with some nice screenshots of the game and stuff like that. I'd love to check it out

In a month or two, I think we might have some early demos of the core of the physics engine we're planning.

Alright sounds cool, can't wait I also hope me and my fellow Dream Guides will play a big part in the game

Cant wait to test it!

I want to test the beta!!

Haha, how about a part where you have to resist just wasting all of your lucid dreams on sex (well, some people wont call it wasting lol, but its nice to do other things too)

Hmm interesting. I want to see this when it is available.

Lol that's actually quite a good idea!

Wow, I wish I can help, but I can't give the time and effort right now I'd love to see what you guys come up with I'm still struggling with LD, so I hope the game can help

Cheers

that device is something many people dream to have! that would be some technology, but how could we ever transfer thought into pictures is beyond anything!

And the main objective would be to find your dream guide so you could regain the consciousness it stole from you... An Antagonist that's a part of you. What a twist! I'm brilliant!

I'd like to join the testing team.

That wouldn't be appropriate for the game's audience, including myself...though I can't say I haven't tried.

Hey, I'm really expert with music I have an expert knowledge on music theory and composing is really easy for me. I could actually give you some really good demos through email if you want, I'm mainly a pianist however I can writes symphonic stuff with full instrumentation if you like.Or even a chorale for chorus music, plus my love is to write music, i would love to be part of the music staff if you would have me. in fact I can get some demos up and you could put them On the forum and get some feedback.
EDIT: I could a demo up within 24-48 hours just gimme an email to send it to

Oh so I sat down and wrote out what I think the "in the moonlight" song should sound like. I'm not up to date with posts but I read the song list and I'm currently working on how I would write it. just to have a second opinion out there currently I'm working on just the piano part cause I can't have access to my sheet music stuff till tomorrow. but I'm looking forward to dance of dreams

quassom,

I appreciate your interest in the game. I go easy on grammar and spelling and so forth on chat, but will you use a period and a comma every once in a while?

Your post sounds frantic.

Is the above edited posts better? And either way my point is I'm able to compose the desired "full band" songs that would be in the game.

Yea quassom,

Thanks.

We could use some more help in the music department!

Thanks again for your interest.

There's no punctuation in music anyways.

how will this game will be like? 2d, 3d,a flash game? like old nintendo games or like gta vice city??? can you compare it with a game so we know what to expect?

Based on what we've been discussing, it almost seems like it'll be half-Zelda, namely in perspective and a little in gameplay. The player will have a sword from the beginning of the game.

This seriously reminds me of an indie game called Yume Nikki (which, as one person put it, is a fusion of Earthbound and Silent Hill. Pretty surreal).

That aside, I could imagine this possibly branching into several genres. Will this be story-driven such as most games of today? Or might it be a bit more of a wide-open sandbox?

I think we're planning it to be a 3rd person, 3D, story driven, RPG with real time combat. Early on, people have suggested it be like Kingdom Hearts, but I haven't played the game to give you a realistic comparison now. I don't think there will be a party system. It will have many elements similar to modern Legend of Zelda games.

Much of the story has been laid out, I think. I haven't really read it. What needs to happen now is we programmers need to learn OGRE and code a small platforming demo trying out 3D collision, basic animation, and general game infrastructure.

Sweet!!! That is an incredible idea!!
I would like to test it =P Sounds great!!
Maybe during the game you should be stabilizing when the dream is collapsing and performing reality checks when you lose lucidity.
