This is a outline storyline of my newest game (still under development) named Stranded. http://www.roblox.com/Stranded-place?id=1710162
NOTE: Some things mentioned here are not yet in the game
INTRODUCTION:
You're a successful businessman. Currently, you are en-route on a plane to an unknown location (never mentioned in game) along with a business partner who is only mentioned as "Friend" within the game. As you discuss your doubts about the trip with your friend on the plane.
Screen fades in from black. Cutscene begins with you looking out the window of the plane. You turn to your friend and start discussing your negative feelings toward the business trip. Your friend tries to encourage the trip with his past experiences.
As a silence falls between your business friend and yourself, the pilot calls over the intercom that passengers should experience some turbulence. After about a minute of smooth flying, your friend gets a bit confused. He starts to state how there is still no turbulence when he is interrupted by a boom.
The plane shakes violently. You quickly look out your window. With limited visibility, you can only see a large amount of smoke and some flames tumbling off the left wing.
Turning back to your friend in horror, your friend is stunned and starts yelling. The plane again experiences some sort of explosion and violently shakes more.
Suddenly, the plane starts going down. The engines start squealing loudly and the whole plane shakes with enormous power. A tremendous explosion goes off and your screen flashes out to white.
Title fades in. Waits a few seconds. Back of screen fades from white to black. Whole title fades out and you find yourself amidst the wrecked aircraft. Inspired by Call of Duty cutscenes, camera movements in this section are slow, the screen is faded red, and smoke envelopes the whole scene. After a few looks around the aircraft, the screen slowly fades to black.
Screen fades in. Intro cutscene is done and you have control over your character. A prompt message appears stating that you have survived the crash but your friend is "gone." You have to find your way through the valley and find your way to civilization, whether that means you finding them or them finding you.
Gameplay section:
Blah blah blah. All the boring stuff where you walk around, collecting Roblox Tokens and reaching objectives. These were added in so that the game wouldn't be just a huge cutscene. However, it seems players like this, therefore I added it. After you find a small village, you have to negotiate with villagers to get information on how to get home. I added in pretty basic cutscenes using custom camera "tweening" functions that I've written to make it a bit more interesting.
OUTRO:
Mostly undecided yet. However, I would like it to be sort of like this: After negotiating with villagers enough, you finally are able to find a way to communicate with the "real world" and get people to come get you. Finally, the outro cutscene will come in. A rescue helicopter will fly in to get you. I will make this cutscene way better than the intro. A realistic helicopter full of animations and camera animations will make the scene fun to watch. |

| Maybe you should recreate the game without using the Roblox Terrain? |

| This is a great story line! I would LOVE to see how you would make the helicopter scene! Although when I was playing the game when I was very near the end, I got stuck ontop of a mountain with a bunch of invisible walls trapping me. If you could almost make where you need to go near the end a bit more obvious that would be great :D |

Sorry crazyman32, but Stranded is a horrible idea. I don't want to go around collecting tokens to advance to a certain point, then look for more. Maybe some kind of storyline like King Kong, a strange island, inhabited by dinosaurs and all. I can feel an intense depth of horror/thrill in that. Hmm...Oh well. I am gonna work on my idea now. |

| I got stuck at the bottom of the hill when entering the village. And it says a village comes in sight after I leave the tunnel, but the village is way onward... or have you fixed that? Dunno. Lemme try! |

From the start, the idea is pretty clear.
He's like copying "Lost", the TV show. |

| @alternat1ve - The idea of a plane crashing and being stranded is an idea that has been used much more than just Lost. |

the game is inspiring! i would make objective-type games with a storyline like you, but unfortunately most of them turn out like something else. For example, the games in my showcase. |
