Title: Galactic History....
Post by: WarpStar on December 12, 2001, 12:14:00 am
I've completed the background development for a new storyline I'm creating.  It's going to be intended to be modded into IW2 once the scripting language comes out, but for now it's just an idea.  It's several pages long and in MS wordpad Format.  Suggesions, opinions?

And how long did you spend on this?

Now that's what I call extensive. I don't quite understand all of it, but... wow, you could build a lot out of all that.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

A few weeks, on and off, whenever I felt creative   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Most of it is just background stuff, to make the other stuff make sense.  But, you're right, other stuff could come out of it  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I admire your commitment. The most creativity I can muster up is writing down a few words to summarise a render idea.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

that's nice, except that if there was another space race the west would win it, seeing that communists are far too poor.

It's also about 20 some years in the future, and the world has changed somewhat by then.  The West isn't as rich, and the East isn't as poor.  I didn't outline also that the East has more nations in its alliance.

It's still in the infant stage, as I don't know how far to go with it, but I'll let you know  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Wow, that is very comprehensive and detailed. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) I guess I am not the only one around here who does not have a life... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Hey, I have a.........err..........sort of a life.  I'm just on a dry spell right now  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Seriously, I wanted to see something similar to the storyline I'm writing, so I needed the background to make it all make sense.  Plus it's something nice to put in the Encyclopedia  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
