I am planning on making a text-based adventure game sometime in the near future. A text-based adventure is a game where users type a command in, such as "Go North", "Drop Sword", "Talk man", and "Exit House". These are very simple commands and they all have a unique job. The player will use these commands to complete objectives in order to complete a higher goal. Each game is different and can be played in any way. Such text-based adventures that are popular include Zork and Peasant's Quest. I am still in development of another game at the moment, but I will work on this game as soon as I am finished. Any suggestions on name, storyline, and characters?

I would suggest making it so it's not just one adventure, you can select out of a list of adventures and when you're done one, you can do another. To keep people coming back to your place create new adventures whenever you have the time and it would definitely be a game I play!

Name: Jordan's Journey To the Edge of The Solar System (JJTETSS).

Synopsis: Jordan is the name of the ship piloted by an expedition traveling to the edge of the Solar System, the Oort Cloud, from a settlement on Mars in the year 2150. This is an expedition of ten (10) people packed into the ship, journeying for months at a time, and will be the first manned mission past the Asteroid Belt. Along the way they make multiple orbits around important bodies such as gas giants and their moons, stopping at times to examine the surface of these bodies. Their mission to the Oort Cloud early on goes astray as the farther they go and the more moons they land on the greater the evidence of extraterrestrial life becomes. The journey becomes harder due to unexpected consequences of their actions, building up to first contact with a living alien civilization. The entire crew is killed and all hell breaks loose back at ground control as Earth and Mars are facing an invasion by an alien race whom are technologically superior to them in every way. Jordan is left adrift while the world burns, a tiny artifact of human civilization before its demise, lost in space.

Actually, scratch the times. The locations of planets relative to each other would have to make sense for the journey, and the journey could take possibly years just to reach certain locations.

What they should find at first should be artifacts, then possibly an inactive ship or two, then an active ship, and then live aliens.

Someone should definitely fall physically ill, fall mentally ill, or die along the way.

Maybe a couple of deaths, ooh a disappearance might be cool.

But wait, I just realized that the entire 'alien invasion' thing doesn't make sense.

Hmm.

How about a cold war?

I give up. I have to be the worst at plots.

Ummm, wow... I don't know what to say... Kodran, thanks for the suggestion, I have thought about it and that may keep people coming back, but I am planning on each adventure to take a few hours to complete... so this may be hard to accomplish...


Draeton, ummm, no... that sounds very creepy in fact. I am planning on the adventures being more of an older fashion( 1500s at earliest, present at latest)


I am also planning on making it an 8-bit gui game because that will make it more like how they were back in the old days, vintage :3
