Hey guys and gals! Welcome back to the mikeerik blog where today, I will talk about a few ideas I've been meaning to write out for a while but not having the time for it. It was because of school but feel free to blame it on Disqus comments system. :D Although, I'm not gonna write all my ideas in one blog. That would be insane and go through the roof! So I'll just write a few ones next time.

As you may know or if you're knew to my blogs, the MyIGN console is a way of representing my ideas or new games but also I will ask questions which will combine in to full games with MyIGN users as the main characters! 0_0

So this may or may not be a long blog. I'll see how it goes. I still have many blog ideas I need to write out from last July... which was last year! Plus I may write in more detail about these games in the future where each game will get a blog of it's own. Lucky them! However I would like some feedback which ones you would like me to talk more about. Once you've got your popcorn and 3D glasses on, sit back and relax and enjoy! :)

So the first one I have on my mind is called...

 

Evacism

That's pronounced with a higher C and basically the name just popped in to my head however for the idea for this game which I will talk about shortly, I made a game from... wallpapers. Yes, I picked a set of random wallpapers and tried to make a game out of it to see what I came up with and for a challenge. 4 in fact where I was only gonna use 1 but I felt nah. I'll do that another time. :)

Here's the beautiful set of wallpapers if you wish to use them.

In this game you can choose your gender like many RPGs (Doesn't mean explosions arriving soon) and the story begins on an unknown city on Earth where the main character is awakened by noises of lasers and screaming. He/she finds it's an invasion of a robotic species and through a whole load of Uncharted style action scenes and close calls, he/she is teleported to a snowy planet where he/she notices Earth is just ahead of the planet in the sky. Ultimately he finds out that this planet is heading on a collision course with Earth and along the way on this open world journey, he/she meets up with all kinds of characters from farmers to high tech scientists and over time of completing missions and connecting with the World, he begins to question which planet is worth saving since it's so peaceful whereas Earth would see conflicts for countless of generations and as you progress through he game, the planet begins to melt as it reaches closer to Earth making it any way, more aesthetically pleasing (like Uncharted graphics) but also causing places to become more dangerous since you have to avoid crevasses and all.

However the real cool thing is that you can choose who to be in a way to add more of humourous element to the game. You could buy a Santa Claus costume and use killer reindeers to rain down on your enemies to the Grim Reaper where you can just your trusted synth to defeat your enemies from long range. As you complete optional missions to investigate in to technology, more endings become available to you a much as over 40! As well as hundreds of combinations. Oh, also there maybe new characters added via patches and DLC but no fee! Just fun! There is a catch though... there is no perfect ending but it will depend on your opinion. At the end where you find out the robots are time distortions protecting a world of an alternate version of Earth, you are given choices to keep the planet and ram it in to Earth but protected by a forcefield where the Human race will continue on the once long snowy planet, delete the snowy planet like a hologram, leave the decision to someone else you've met and even he skins will create more decisions like if you complete it with a Santa Claus, it will download in the Earth or snowy planet and have an actual father christmas whereas if you went for something like Grim Reaper, Dinosaur or Assassin, then you'll see them having a role in the planet saved and whatnot. Although like the games I have mentioned in previous blogs and the games on the way, this is part of a franchise since there is much more mystery to the story and I haven't exactly said everything that will be in the game.

The cover will be the main character with a half male soldier, half female Santa Claus, you know, no beard. :P However the reason for the name? All the endings end with the main character talking what it's like similar to games like Deus Ex and Mass Effect 3 but not necessarily their opinions since there are many opinions from the gamer so they just say what's happened which is up to the gamer whether they think it's good or bad and end the game saying, Evacism... apart from one. Now I won't say it's all the endings are non-canon. I'll respect the endings people choose as their own. Just to spark speculation. :)

Nexus

This game is much more different from above. This time round I didn't try to make a story from wallpapers but instead just random stuff I thought about. The wallpapers from now on are just if you would like to use them but remember that I take no credit for any of these wallpapers. I was never good at art! :P It's based on a female teenager within a area called the Nexus where she can manipulate any of the material she touches such as fire and earth with many puzzles and platforming. Don't worry about burning yourself in this game. :D However this setting is different from Earth since it contains strange creatures she's never seen before... and she's met poodles! Many friendly, many aggressive but over time, you find portals that tell what is happening in the story as you progress where on Earth, she goes to school with a friend who is frequently bullied and tries to stand up for him. So yeah, this is kind of an anti-bullying game in a way and it will feature lots of emotion but at the start of the game, it's like the main character doesn't even know anything about the events like she's only just seeing them for the first time and overtime she realizes that the events become more serious where she doesn't exist and therefore, he comes scarred for life both physically and mentally.

In the end though, she has to fight herself and then she suddenly turns in to the person who was being bullied where she realizes she was one of the people bullying him in the first place. He had no one to help him and she could change all that just by seeing what's right. She wakes up from her long slumber where she remembers she was meant to be at a certain place where her gang would throw rocks at him. She arrives to stop this but realizes that this is where his life would ultimately change forever so when he arrives, she has a change of heart and defends him. They try to push aside but she won't move. She becomes engaged in a fight but becomes overpowered and beaten on the floor where the gang leaves the person they intended for, unscarred. The boy helps her up to her feet where he forgives her for what she did and become best friends... then they buy chocolate!

To give you an idea what The Nexus looks like, it has some areas which are crowded like in ACR: Lost Archive DLC and many areas which are vastly expansive with green grass and all where you can revisit any of these locations.

The cover is with the main character looking around all the complicated structures of The Nexus.

Isonlery (An I for the first letter) 

This is an idea I've had for 3 years but I've been able to develop some of my ideas lately and merged it it with my old so I hope you like this one! It's a first person game where there are non-linear missions where you have many ways to reach a destination in a map. It's about aliens but this isn't the cheesy kind. No! This is a very dark story and thus is a survival horror although there is some shooting at many parts. However I want to make this possibly the most emotional out of the games I have listed since there are lots of moments of desperation, hope, fear, hopelessness etc. To add to the survival horror theme, the emotion can change within a flash like one time the characters maybe relaxed and the next second, they could be seeing their best friends being torn apart.

The story begins where a couple is driving in the middle of the night in the complete darkness of the countryside until they see a bright flash and a disk shaped object circled by silhouettes. The car's engine completely shuts down and him and his pregnant wife are both forced out and dragged in to the spaceship where they see bright lights and the most known alien kind in UFOlogy however there is a Human talking to them as if commanding them. His wife is forced on to a separate bed where he believes they'll perform sick experiments so in rage, the husband physically attacks many of the aliens but is shot but a laser blast causes him to bleed to death as he holds his wife's hands once he's collapsed to the floor as her eyes are the last thing he sees.

A few years later, the experiments caused alien DNA to merge with the embryo thus becoming a hybrid who was trained under their alien culture but disbelieves his father was an alien through instinct so he uses his telepathic power to see what really happened, disobeying the rules he was given about reading their minds and the vision of his father's death angers him so he goes on a rampage and takes a shuttle to Earth.

However this isn't the main character. The character of this story was found in a desert after an electromagnetic explosion to which he has no memory of his previous life but becomes recruited to a group who know more knowledge than what the government covers up... but they don't use this to tell the truth to Humanity. No! They steal their technology and use it for their own personal gain and are simply known as Serenity... although the group isn't actually that peaceful. In this world, there's 3 groups of people aside from the aliens themselves. There's the Serenity, the government and organisations who aim to stop Serenity at all costs but also any known as Isonleries who if Serenity interferes with their lives, they'll be given a choice to join Serenity and commit the dark horrors of torture and violence among many people or become Isonleries who are faced with the fear of being abducted and are thus always on the move and most never survive or face a fate worse than death... yet there are many who do.

As part of the Serenity group gives him the name Alex and he meets the main members, John, an African American hacker, Angela, an Estonian sniper and the Japanese leader Xua (it's a guy) who has massive knowledge on robotics and technology but over a few missions infiltrating secret bases and seeing Xua performing torture with no mercy, Alex feels he just can't do this anymore so he leaves and thus becomes and Isonlery.

He remains off the grid but ultimately has to worry about being found by aliens and thus finds himself on the run. Now the horror missions are through times where he has to make it an area without being detected in the middle of the night in a forest with a bright light spotting out shadows so he must crawl under logs and find ways to distract the enemies where he gains some powers whee by putting his hand on the surface of a wall, he can detect Humans... but not aliens. The aliens themselves aren't really shown but in suits to protect them and you may find yourself reaching out an area from crawling and then all of a sudden, you'll hear a high pitch creepy music since the alien's just come down from the ledge... but maybe it hasn't seen Alex yet so he has to deal with these quick issues.

He comes in to contact with other Isonleries who have blamed Serenity for interfering with their lives and people who have claimed to be monitored but after a night where so much has happened, he may start crying or shivering because he is terrified and creeped out from the events and wishing that he learned more from Serenity but this is where the gamer can connect with Alex since the movements represent his emotion and overtime, this makes him a stronger character, willing to fight more so when he does come in to contact with an alien, you have the chance to go crazy and blast their brains out or beat them so not to attract attention. Although, just because it's the bright of the day, doesn't mean he's out of the blue. There may be certain places, where it may just feel to quiet so it may not be the best option to move down that path.

In the end, after many of the people he has met and made good friends with, have made sacrifices for him and told him to never turn back and keep running... he does eventually become captured and has a dream of raining blood and machines annihilating the Human race. He wakes up up in a spaceship where the aliens around him are suddenly killed by the Human-Alien hybrid from the start. He becomes engaged in a fight with him where Jack loses and reads his mind. After,the Hybrid explains that the aliens are only after him for his search for answers to his past and didn't mean to attack him. They decide to cooperate and make it past a door where they find the Human telling him the truth about his father. After seeing his father's strong will, they decided to transfer his soul to the embryo, thus becoming reborn to become a powerful warrior.

In my vision, I'd say that the Human-Alien hybrid would look a lot like  Colonel Radec from Killzone for the visual readers. :D

Anyways, this of course enrages the Human-Alien hybrid where he dives for the Human but disappears like a hologram. They're both left alone where they make a deal. Alex will help find the answers to his past if he helps find more answers to Alex's past. The spaceship becomes under fire and they're able to reach Antarctica via re-enetery. There they find Xua where Alex tells him he can find a way to stop this mess. Suddenly shoots him in the chest and throws him on to the snow below where he witnesses the shooting of the Hybrid with 3 bullets to the head. Xua tells him that with the Hybrid gone, he can take over Humanity with a cybernetic revolt and there's nothing anyone can do to stop him.

He's able to control John via a monitor like a robot where Alex realizes, Xua's seriously crazy. He has a dream while blood's rushing out of him which is also the last gameplay sequence where Alex is climbing ladders to reach the light and notices he can't reach it and sees the gun across his forehead. Xua asks him whether he has any last words to which Alex replies, he'll find a way to stop him. He is shot dead... is there gonna be a sequel. Yes indeed! :)

Admittedly I haven't played many survival horror games but I hope you liked it and I would explain more but it's starting to take over this blog! So last but not least, the cover of the game will be the main character walking away from a bright light making him look like a silhouette similar to this Linkin Park album logo. :D

 

Now the next one is something that's gonna make a lot of RPG fans go absolutely crazy with excitement. So prepare yourselves!

Dragon Clashers

Ever wanted to see what it's like to own a Dragon, raise a Dragon, be a Dragon? Well now you can! I've always been so fascinated with Dragons and overtime, have become my No.1 favourite legendary and fantasy species. You could say I'm it's No.1 fan but thinking Dragons are awesome is no secret to many. No matter what kind of games you'll like, whatever kinds of genres, many will always be interested in these particular creatures so what better way of showing all these themes than in a new MyIGN game where you play as magicians and warriors who will find their dragons from a massive open world. Although there are many places to find these Dragons. Many will just go to the local pet store but if you're really looking for adventure and want to raise up more powerful yet very rare dragons, why not go to the firery pits of the furthest volcano to train a violent, yet explosively active dragon, immune to all fire and heat, a dragon in the wintery caves where barely anyone can access with all the rubble, mazes and cold water around it but if you do find this dragon, they'll have their own unique freeze breath or maybe even one in the dark areas of the wasteland where there are dragons that can fire smoke and earth spikes from their mouths. Although, you have to make sure there aren't any family dragons around when gathering Dragon eggs and younglings.

Now, how you bring his dragon up is entirely up to you but remember that it comes to certain consequences. If you treat them well, they will become noble to the magician or warrior who can later become the dragon rider if you wish but remember that is entirely optional but it could help to go along with the battle against other dragons and armies since you could use your own powers. However you may also treat them violently and if you choose to feed them Human flesh as they're growing up (yes you can feed them all kinds of things) and you're not able to defend yourself, you might as well say "Bon appetite" to yourself, but if you're able to maintain it, it would strike fear in the eyes of your enemies but it overall depends what you want them to bring them up as. Maybe to crush entire enemies, a messenger for your economy or just a simple pet.

Now what's the reason for the name? Well you can go to battles with other Dragons at land, sea and finally air and when you dive and you have the option to be strategic and go slow especially in the air... but I'd imagine most gamers would just want to dive at at other Dragons in some sort of Uncharted action! You control both the rider and the Dragon as you may attack certain parts of the body or even their rider.

There is on the other hand if their Dragon dies in battle but rider survives (may have a parachute with them), they make search to find already grown Dragons for a change since you've already developed powerful abilities but there's no telling what their traits are if you can tame them. If the rider dies, then the Dragon may have to wander around or may even start their own families which could create Dragons with new abilities but you have to be wary of pirates and such.

This does link in to the multilplayer where you can organize your own teams for clashing and have as many dragons as you want as well as riders although with more dragons for a rider comes instability.

Overall the cover of the game would feature 2 Dragons aiming to clash in destructive mayhem!

So that's all for today! :) I hope you enjoyed reading this blog as much as I did writing it however if you would like me to talk more about these games in a future blog, I'd be more than happy to. So which one of these did you find the most interesting? Would you like me to challenge myself again and make ideas just from looking wallpapers again?

Thanks for reading! Have a good day. :D
