    I had kind of an idea for a story. I know it's we were already working on a story, but I was reading a very famous book and I saw a perfect game of it.

    I think we've all heard of the Odyssey. But if you actually read just into Odysseus's adventures, they are almost like a video game. Not only that, but your are a swordsman with knights, just like we've been drawing. The story is actually really cool, adventurous, and humorous.

    What I mean by it's like a video game, you can chart out the game as a world-map. You start in Troy, which I think we all know what happens there. Then Odysseus and his men go to the Cicones, where after winning the battle, his men want to stay and party, and they end up being attacked and trying to flee.

    Here it is just like a video game. You have one goal: Ithaca, or your home. Returning to your family and kingdom. Although, like a video game, things keep on throwing you off course and you have to go around a large world to talk to people.

    When you leave the Cicones, you get blown by a storm and crash on the island of the Lotus Eaters, where your crew eats flowers that make them get high and you have to force them on the boat and get them out of there.

    One of my favorite parts in the whole story would be like your first (or second) boss: the Cyclops.

    This is actually a pretty funny part of the book. Odysseus and his men decide to stop on this island said to have a Cyclops. They look for supplies and find cheese in a cave, and just start chilling and eating it, then the Cyclops comes and starts eating your men. And you have to get out, which I could make it follow just like the book, because it's actually pretty funny how things play out here.

    I'm not going to go through everything, but some other parts were like when the three different people tell Odysseus to leave the Goddess's cattle alone, and his crew run off and attack it, or the part where a giant, 6-headed squid monster steals his men.

    You just have to read it. It's really cool.

    Here is an example of the World Map I found online:

    [IMG]


    Here is a summary taken offline of basically how he goes through all of these places:

    1.Troy: After the victory at Troy, Odysseus and his men begin their journey home from here.

    2.The Island of the Cicones: After leaving Troy, they stop to raid this island for supplies. The Cicones attack on horseback, and Odysseus lost 72 of his men.

    3.The Island of the Lotus Eaters: Odysseus sends his men out to search for food, and has to recover them when they eat the Lotus Flower.

    4.The Island of the Cyclopes: Here, Odysseus and his men find a Cyclops' cave, lured by his cheese and wine. The cyclops, Polyphemus, traps them inside the cave. Odysseus and his men blind the cyclops, and then sneak out under his heard of sheep.

    5.The Island of Aeolus: Aeolus, the god of the winds, gives Odysseus all of the bad winds, so he can safely sail home. Odysseus' men go against his orders and open the bag, and all of the winds escape.

    6.The Island of the Laestrygonians: The Laestrygonians, a race of cannibals, eat the Greeks. Only the men on Odysseus' ship and himself survive.

    7.Circe's Island: Circe turns Odysseus' men to swine, but Odysseus is protected from her magic with the help of Hermes, who gave him a magical herb called Moly. Odysseus ends up staying there for what seems like a short time, but ended up being a couple years. Before Odysseus departs, Circe finally tells him that he needs to find the blind prophet Teiresias in the Underworld.

    8.The Underworld: Odysseus consults the prophet Teiresias to ask how he can get home, and finds his mother there, who has committed suicide in depression.

    9.The Island of the Sirens: Odysseus and his men pass here, an island with women singing their luring songs, trying to reel in sailors. So they do not hear, Odysseus fills his mens ears with beeswax, and he has them tie him to the mast.

    10.Scylla and Charybdis: Odysseus chooses to sail for Scylla, a six-headed sea serpent, rather than Charybdis, a giant whirlpool. He did this because he knew that if he went to Charybdis, the whole ship would be destroyed. However, if he went towards Scylla, six men would die. A sacrifice the brave Odysseus decided to make.

    11.The Island of Helios: They stop here, and Odysseus falls asleep praying to Athena. While sleeping, his men once again go against his orders and eat Helios' cattle. This outrages the god, and he threatens never to rise again. As a punishment, Zeus throws a bolt of lightning at the ship, and turns it to splinters. Only Odysseus survives.

    12.Ogygia (Calypso's Island): Odysseus finds this island after drifting in the sea. It is a island of women, with a nymph named Calypso, with whom Odysseus has a seven-year affair with (nitt note, Odysseus was having his mind manipulated, and every night it wore off and he wanted to leave, but he wasn't aloud). After the seven years, Hermes convinces Calypso to let Odysseus build a new ship so he could sail home.

    13.The Island of the Phaecians: The Phaecians accept Odysseus, and he explains his ten-year journey to them during a feast. They happily give him a ride home on one of their magical ships.

    14.Ithaca: Odysseus finally arrives home, and sees his son, Telemachus, for the first time in 15 years. He and Telemachus kill all of the suitors, and Odysseus takes his place as king, once again, alongside his wife Penelope.


    I just think this game would be much funner to make and turn out a lot better.

    Rather than ripping someone elses story can't we just use it as a guideline?

    yeah, well, lets just not use the entire story :p
    it's much more fun to come up with our own ideas.
    well that's my opinion..

    That's like saying The Hunger Games movie, or the Percy Jackson movie, or even the I Am Number Four movie is ripping off of the books.

    They are taking something that is extremely popular, and making a film adaptation for it. It isn't ripping off.

    And it's not like Homer has been alive for the last couple millenniums.

    The point of my idea was trying to make a game to one of the most famous epics of all time. That's the point, that follows it as much as possible. That's what would be the attraction to it.
