Working title: Sanity

First topic message reminder :

I know platformers are getting so-so nowadays but i want to make a story intensive game to reel the player in.
I was wondering if anyone can offer help with a platformer AI? I want to try something else besides the usual move left-right type. i was thinking of several separate objects all with a rotating sprite(gun) attached to it walking around a level trying to look for the player and firing at whatever angle they want and jumping onto ledges to get a better shot. Any info and ideas are greatly welcome. screenshots will come soon.
please help me out or i end up looking like this smiley --->

<note: not finalized and may be subject to change>
Storyline:
Deep in a research facility, several containment units have broken down. A lone figure awakens after his stasis chamber breaks down along with several others. A lone guard comes in to investigate, unfortunately he bumps into him. The guard is killed without second thought the moment he approaches him. Taking the guard's weapon with the stranger, he sets himself on a journey to find answers. As he leaves the facility through a path in the sewers, he comes across a city that seemed familliar to him.

Hmmm... Sounds good that they weren't that bad. I think i like the symbolism, of the name Pandora. From my development perspective, she's actually a Pandora's box of trouble for our poor tortured soul. (hmmm... i think i like it...)

Oh, for the music by the way. I was thinking of Power Metal as a musical inspiration ('cause it sounds like there's less hate in it). I love using power metal as a combat theme. it makes me wanna go medieval on the world. :3

Guys, check these tracks out on you-tube and you'll see what i mean.
1-eagleheart by stratovarius
2-center of the universe by (stratovarius, i think)
note: try hammerfall, dragonforce, kamelot, and nightwish

one more thing: (Jeeeezus anybody ever notice i write too much? )
feel free to send me ideas too, anything i get interested in will be put on the game along with credits for the contributor (hope u have a good reunion fooey)

development hint: this game's going to be a prequel to a much bigger plot of the insane stuff oozing out of my brain :3

i'll send you guys a progress report here on tuesday since we have a labor day break. i usually work on the game in my school. hope to hear from you guys soon!

Music-All That Remains "Two Weeks" YEAHHHH

hey uh... i could cut the slow beging out of that song if you want just thought i'd ask

hey guys back from my long weekend!
i was thinknig about using the name pandora (hint: she's like a person who opens up a pandora's box of trouble for the hero (maybe unintentionally))
right now i'm designing the storyline and if you guys have any contributions. please feel free to post. it makes the completion much faster. :3

hey i think i like the name serenity a lot! i'll put that on top of my list.

ok

i see... never mind then im sorry to have bothered you bossross

hey now, no worries there fooey. you don't need to apologize or anything.. all opinions here are always welcome. this is my personal development space and anyone will always be free to make a statement here. (with relevance of course) I need a lot of opinions so i can make this work well. not for me, but the players themselves.

hey, uh fooey... took me a while to notice that song you posted it... love the way it sounds... love the beat of the whole thing... got an mp3? i think that one's a keeper. well, without the people talking in the background during the intro.

wich song? the stranger? theres noone talking in the begining or did you meen the whistling

All That Remains "Two Weeks"
