If no one else wants to, I could do up a trailer thingy. However I'd have to use footage from Frozelar/Pholtos's Testing Videos.

use the plot I wrote up for a2mt that was rejected
me in a simpler more innocent time wrote:Now, this is the story all about how
Her life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there
I'll tell you how she became the prince of a ship called Bel Air

In West Philadelphia, born and raised
On the playground is where she spent most of her days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool
And all shootin' some B-ball outside of the school

When a couple of goopas who were up to no good
Started makin' trouble in her neighborhood
She got in one little fight and her boss got scared
And said, "You're movin' with your aunty and uncle in Bel Air"

She begged and pleaded with him the other day
But he packed her suitcase and sent her on her way
He gave her a kiss and then he gave her her ticket
She put her Walkman on and said, "I might as well kick it"

She whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror
If anything she could say that this cab was rare
But she thought now forget it, yo home to Bel Air

She pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And she yelled to the cabby, "Yo holmes, smell you later"
Looked at her kingdom, she was finally there
To settle her throne as the prince of Bel Air

----------------

There. This is the story. She's on a homocidal rampage to claim the spaceship Bel Air as her own. 'The Artist' is just an innnocent duder that got caught in the crossfire, the ending can be a picture of the Twin Towers with a crying birdo with the words 'never forget'
just replace any instance of the word 'ship' by whatever the hub is

After this everyone should go flood the a2mt forum and complete the game finally. Yeah that's never gonna happen.

Maybe have you start outside the castle and take a door into it.
I could story board up a little introduction level/cutscene for this, just a short optional little thing that'll show why each character is there.

Yeah, that might be much better than what I have.

Will one have to navigate this cutscene each time the game starts up?

From what I saw before I glitched into the ground, there's a pipe to skip the cutscenes.

Various excuse plots were discussed in this thread (I think) many many pages ago, if you're prepared to go back and look for them. I think it was decided that an excuse plot would be the best to go with if there's to be a plot at all. The one I came up with was:

The big bad has stolen all the leeks
You need to get them back but not all of them, just most
Then you need to beat the big bad
Then get the other leeks anyway because of reasons

That other pipe doesn't skip it. Hence why I agreed to Darkychao's suggestion/idea.
It "ends" the game.

My initial hub concept was literally a town of adventure with various worlds and the leek collection was just a random goal. Meaning, there was no real plot at all, just ADVENTUUUUUUUUUUUUURE.

I was thinking of having it as a different chapter, maybe an "Introduction" as a whole different choice from "Prelude To The Stupid".

Another option is simply writing down the plot and using it in promoting the game.

I like the idea of having is as a separate chapter. But still have Demo enter the castle each time. Just a really quick cutscene to not make the start feel so awkward.
The first thing I would do with infinite power would be to make myself a cave where I could look at my shadow forever.

Image <- Go team Yeah Doctor Shemp.!
Image <- That's everyone being nice to me. ^^

I made a game called Utter Confusion! Play it! :D
It's a lot of fun and has been incredibly popular at every indie game dev party I've brought it to.

yeah, okay, almost like mario world's castle entering scene?

Oh man, last night I've been thinking, maybe we should have a cutscene that the player can view after every new character introduction level, maybe to explain why they continue to follow demo and iris about the castle. Because, yah know, there's always time to shoehorn in reasonless story at the last second.

but the difference is what I'm doing won't delay the release, if needs be it'll be released after the rest is already in your hands.

how about leaving all those ideas for the sequel, and concentrate on what matters right now, which is testing? I don't want to sound rude or anything, but making those things takes time. the game is staying as it is, bar required fixes. Like raocow said himself, let's not turn this into a2mt, we do not need more than knowing that what we have now works

making it a separate chapter just for this, I'm ok with that. Delaying the game for this? please no
is this videogames?

Shaman already set one for this wednesday.

Also, We're kind of too late for a plot anyway. That should have been done at the start of the project.

Yeeeah, I dunno to what extent anyone has noticed but I tend to get unnecessarily uptight about group projects- at school and college I usually end up taking the lead on group sessions, so being in the back seat on something like this leaves me hell of neurotic :P At least it never died, eh?

THIS wednesday?! There's no way I can finish my testing by then. I can try to speed it up but no guarantees with my weird schedule. Sorry....

What happened to pholtos, wasn't he gonna video test the late game levels? Or did he do it and I just am being very dumb?

I'm in a weird place physically and mentally right now. I had tried last week but it didn't go well. I feel really bad. I guess I could try again tonight but no guarantees either.
