Today is an interesting day I woke up this morning with a completely new set of memories from a life I don't remember before this morning living.
No I'm here sitting in my one bedroom apartment wondering what the hell am I going to do with myself. For a few minutes I just sat on my bed thinking about it comparing my old life to my current one.
"All right let's see I loved playing games and I loved making them in my old life and my new life I am making games and technology is a hell of a lot more events here with legitimate full dive virtual reality."
I pause for a second before with my new memories I decided to check the internet to see what games were out there that match from my old world. And there was none of them in fact there's only three games remotely similar to what we had in my old world which would be called ripped offs one of them is damn Pac-Man ripoff called ghost molester yeah you read that right..... And as you can probably guess it's an H-game. About a dude with the ability to touch ghosts so he goes off to molest female spirits. In fact all three ripoff games are just H-games so I've decided I'm going to bring the glory of the games for my old world to this new one.
Like some heavenly principal just send it upon me I saw a panel appear before me.
[Greetings host I am the supreme game developing and dungeon developing system.]
I stared blankly for a moment the first part of that sentence I really liked the second part not so much cuz practically every fanfiction I have read with the words dungeon development in it meant that I'm going to cause the death of a lot of people. Did I particularly care know I was a death row inmate in my last life the only difference is in my previous life death row inmates were allowed to be in house arrest but they had to live with about 30 different guards inside of their house. And given I lived on a farm that was just my personal number since the number of guards you had were proportional to how many rooms you can make for them.
The system seem to cut off my dwindling thoughts of the past.
[Your assumptions are correct you'll be developing dungeons and games with my help because this world is going to face an apocalypse and then surgeons of monsters that will spawn from riffs and humanity will be forced to adapt and evolve and will eventually end up being blessed by random worldless gods that will descend.]
I couldn't help but bite my knuckle at that last sentence worldless gods I could only assume that they gods are real and some of them may not have a place to call ownership. Where they could probably hit draw power from the power of faith or some other method.
[You are correct host and as the host you will be permitted to invite three deities to your world to act as the pioneers of your world and to help prepare them for the Apocalypse.]
I just there at Blakely for a second and wondered why was a system with two entirely different paths was created. It's like the Creator couldn't decide if he just wanted a basic game system created or he wanted to create a dungeon system so he decided to do both.
[To be fair host I was created initially as a dungeon creation system but later my Creator added game development since my last three hosts from three different worlds failed horribly to prepare their world and died since they believe it worked like the gamer from their memories and sadly does not]
I open my mouth before closing it and shrugging because that was fair.
[Now let's get into the meat and potatoes shall we I am the system my functions are helping you create games which you can then use the create dungeons which wants the apocalypse appears will merge into your world. Adding new rules regulations and mechanics. Which then you gained points for anyone playing a game or fighting in a dungeon. That you have created. And then you can buy skills and abilities that not just you but people who play either your games or run your dungeons may it receive as well though you be restricted to buying abilities items or anything else from the games you created. Which will then be subsequently dropped by the creatures and your dungeons.]
I open my mouth and then close it because they're a lot of things I could say but I was practically speechless. Because this seemed instill a certain priority on making games that weren't entirely overpowered or difficult have people play it or run the dungeon version of it then by abilities and skills weaponry whatever it may be from said games and then anyone who plays either the game or runs the dungeon will gain that ability. Which overall is not that much of a problem the problem is most of the games I was incredibly familiar or either souls-likes or monster catcher games. With a few horde shooters survival games mixed in with maybe like 4 examples of action games. And those being the borderlands series. Doom series the Diablo series and finally the Kingdom hearts series.
So yeah I'm going to have to struggle immensely so I wonder something pretty important and it seems the system has read my mind once again.
[Do not worry host the system can help you create entirely new games and not all of your games will be converted into dungeons upon the apocalypse activation you can select which ones would be converted when the time comes. As well you can make shoot off games of a series you already know.]
Hearing this I feel a little bit more relieved I wasn't about just to release some Eldritch horror into my homeworld because I suddenly decide to make a game like prey or dark souls because Lord forbid if I suddenly have to deal with any of those bosses in real life. I might have a mental breakdown or an aneurysm. Or in the off chance like most veterans of the dark souls series have a damn orgasm.
Because who knew how many people would give their left nut for a chance to play a full dive dark souls series game no matter which one hell it could even be dark souls 2 and I'm sure everyone will just bust a nut. Our community was weird like that we complain about the difficulty but yet we still bash our head against the wall like a bunch of masochists. And no matter how much pain we go through once we be a boss we were struggling with is a massive dose of dopamine and euphoria like the biggest PostNet clarity release ever.
I quickly shook my head quickly getting myself out of the mindset and the temptation to create such a game. But I can feel the temptation practically seducing me to it's dark depths.
[Host!!!!!!]
I shook my head lightly after being awoken from the temptation by my system which I was grateful for.
"Right right how do I go about making games with your assistance?"
A few seconds later the system responded.
[There are three factors one of them is the bank account of yours how much budget you have do not worry we will be drawing money from both your old life's bank account and your current last bank account though once your old bank account drains completely it will no longer be an option. Second Factor how much effort it will take me will decrease or increase the price when it comes to helping you design it. The last Factor are you building a game off pre-established serious or going with entirely new one.]
Hearing the three conditions I not in my head as I look at the dive capsule the fancy piece of tech of this world that allows someone to go full dive I decided to immediately hop right in activated and load up the development software on it. because the company who designed the capitals decided to let the owners of the capsules design games or whatever they still will pleased.
I decided that the first thing first as I am changing my username from its previous Angie name of hellhound to warrior of sunlight. Purely remember all the good times of my jolly cooperation back in dark souls 1. By then decided that I would begin making a game. And that would be Titanfall 2 or at least a game expired by the setting of Titanfall 2. It's mainly going to be online and a MMO after all l. But there will be a single player which incorporates the original game and it's entirety. And multiplayer we locked right behind it so everyone can get the feel and love for the series.
I rub my chin as I spoke to the system.
"All right use my memories to make the base game of Titanfall two but erase the multiplayer entirety of its content since we're going to do a massive rework of it."
[Understood house commencing money extracted from your old bank account from your previous life currently is at 500,000. For your request it will take $150,000 confirm action]
I couldn't have a flinch at the amount but I quickly shake my head and hit confirm which in for me the blank void instantly filled up. I smiled as I spoke out.
"Next we move on to the multiplayer make fully customizable character with assets from character creations from my previous world and some armors as well also create a feature of creating faction outfits and extend the same to the Titans but modify it to have customizable chassis ornaments and weaponry and allow the mix and matching of parts from different guns"
[Understood price $150,000 has been retracted from your old bank account current balance remaining 200,000]
I bet my lip as I scream internally I having such a low budget. To begin with but I quickly shook my head as I remembered my current last bank account had around $90,000 so I currently all together have a budget of $290,000 all together. I bit my lip even harder as I spoke again.
"All right use my memories from no Man's sky and Star wars galactic conquest to create planets and system sections. Create the two initial factions from Titanfall 2 as well. "
[Remaining balance 100,000 remaining]
I shook my head quietly as I rub my head before I started to interact directly with the controls to begin doing work myself so I can cut down on cost.
"Restrict $50,000 from being used for budget expenses. Then use the remaining $50,000 to upgrade the fighting system with realistic bullet drop and physics to make the combat feel more real and polish. Also apply that to the weapon customizations so players don't just strap a hundred barrels on a minigun and fire it without caring if it's realistic or not"
[Thanks to your decision to limit customization with weaponry you have regained 20,000 for budget.]
Hearing this I couldn't help a smile before speaking.
"Use that budget to make collapsible terrain buildings and structures including starships. With realism in mind after all I tighten could break concrete so making it being able to destroy buildings and cover is perfectly reasonable."
[Understood remaining budget is zero. An instructions are not fully completed and polished]
I bit my lip after hearing that quickly shaking my head I turn my attention to finishing. Modeling for common riff Raff NPCs by taking the models from the campaign remove their pilot or soldier outfits and replace them with civilian wear of any profession and jobs that Civilization this could mean before quickly saving everything. And decide to converse directly with the system.
"Question can we liquidate any properties I had previously in my old life for additional funding?"
[Yes you may but be warned your little sister and her family have taken residents in your main house so liquidating it will leave them homeless but all other properties are fully capable of being liquidated and will roughly equal to 750,000 dollars if we do not count your illegal assets if we count your illegal assets then it'll be 1,500,000.]
Hearing that I rubbed my head before I spoke.
"Look a day all my properties both legal and illegal excluding my main house where my little sister and her family are living. And try to get the highest price you possibly can"
I close my eyes as I remember all my assets funny enough I was part of a a high tier gang and I was the group's hacker so I got paid a lot just to stick around so I knew quite a bit of things and I set up if any of my equipment were liquidated that a pre-program software that would expose all my former crew of enough evidence to get them sentenced to death and discreetly liquidate all of their assets as well and place them within my bank account specifically one of my off the book accounts.
And just like magic the system reported.
[Post budget is now 5 million.]
Hearing this I nodded my head before I spoke resolutely.
"Already use all 5 million dollars on to development of our product by using my memories and thoughts about what we should do to get it done I would like to sleep and worry about things later"
I saw how the game came fully together from the point we stopped off on how NBC's were created made to be living people practically implementing a reputation system for individuals and factions when the players eventually create them shipyards weapon manufacturies the whole nine yards simply put the online multiplayer was very much similar to Albion online where it was a player driven economy for the vast majority of things. And just like Albion player factions or guilds can declare war against each other or NPC actions it was a whole other world and hopefully it'll be grand when the last piece was done the system spoke.
[You have 500,000 remaining]
Without thinking as I prepare to log out of my capsule I spoke to the system.
"Please half of that into my account in this life for later budgets for future games use the rest to check for any bugs and to polish all things as much as possible and to plug up any exploits."
[Understood good night]
I'm not in my head as I exit and log out of my capsule as I stretch and walk over to my bed and fall right into it to sleep.
