Little John's Search for his Parents

Archive: 2 posts


I thought up a new level. It would be an open world type level with villages and a jungle and stuff.
The only way to tell it to you is to make a story in first person like a diary.
So here it goes.
I was 6 years old when my parents left me
"Im only a child though,MOMMY NO!"
I survived with the food on this small island and the food my parents left me.
I am 17 now and I will gather some fruit and explore the seas to find my parents.
The raft was made from a leftovers from my cabin that was hit with a tornado. I found the fruit all over the island and put it in a basket on raft, I am ready to go out to sea.
Several days passed and i am now in a new island thats flooded with trees and animals. I ran out of food and must find my parents. I climbed a hill to find a group of monkeys. they guided me to an area with 2 people. I thought it was my parents but it was the leaders of a tribe on the island. They told me to find their missing villagers and went back to my raft because i remember seeing someone stuck in a tree i climbed the tree and saved him he gave me a key. The only thing i can think of was that small locked cabin halfway up the hill I used it and found lots of people. None were my parents.
I decided to leave this island and went out to sea for another few days. I reached a village on a hill with about 6 houses.
My creative Juices cant go further than that so, what do you think.
Give me loads of feedback and brainstorm some ideas for me.
Thank you,

Hmm, I can't think of any ideas at the moment. But your idea has triggered a memory of a book I read a few years ago called the Life of Pi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_of_pi#Plot_summary)

If you click on the Wiki link above and have a read of the plot summary (mainly the second and third segments) it might give you some inspiration for a plot twist:

Maybe John's parents were there the whole time, like in Life of Pi or Wizard of Oz - people from the boy's life could be represented by different animals he meets along the way

Ooh, I've had an idea. You could make a collectable sticker that is a picture of the boy's parents, maybe he finds the sticker later on in the game (to introduce some inventive backtracking). When he meets certain characters they claim to know nothing about his parents, but if he 'shows' them the photo (i.e. put the sticker on a sticker switch) it jogs their memory and they could reveal some hint or open a previously hidden area.
