Hexidex (web update april 15)

[grasshopper]

Hexidex is a particle structure that is created by the main character's father. the structure contains huge energy levels and the main villain guy wants to use it to take over the world. its set in current/slight future times. it sounds a little weird right now because i am still working on the storyline so i will post more on this later.

i just wanted to get my game on the list of WIPs... its called "Hexidex" (for now, but i think it will stay)

i plan on basing game play on ff9, almost all iso views.
i havent decided on a battle system yet, i just know i dont want real time. i want to come up with a unique-ish leveling system because, as someone said in the GM forum, most of the systems used today got old over 5 years ago.

i will post more as planning continues.

IA: fixed typos "alittle", "wierd", and "desided"

ok...long overdue update
here is my world

countries/territories
red - Heniba
orange - Arthenia
yellow - "Middle Country" - still working on the name
brown - Westland
green - Ba'akar
purple - Esset
grey - the Wasteland

the dark green blobs are forest
i left out mountains and cities

---

the main character is Leslie Elliott (woohoo a girl! )
she is early/mid 20s and an assistant to her father

her father is (oddly enough) Prof. Elliott
he is a freelance scientist experimenting with particle stimuli on other particals and light

the main villain is Mordicai Draca
he is a rival scientist of Prof. Elliot who works for the global conglomerate Vailcorp
(conglomerate is spelled correctly, i looked it up)

i have planned:

7 capitol cities
15 large cities
49 sites ranging from just a few buildings to very small towns

8 characters to come in and out of the story line

100s of items from healing lotions and tents to heavy short range attack weapons (it is present-ish times)

a few magic spells and items. not too many.. it fits in the story
(magic being a taboo of sorts with technology being the driving force in the world)

i have a bunch of enemies too, i havent counted them...

---

right now i have about 15 pages of story, 5 or so pages of notes for history and culture, and another 10 pages of script for transitions

---

ive decided to use my own crappy images until im closer to completion so i can concentrate more on coding and story. towards the end i will post something somewhere for artists.

---

im trying to put together an intro movie/cut scene to give some idea of what im rambling about

from my notes:

With the discovery of Hexidex, comes the discovery of a new source of fuel. The molecular bonds needed to create the intricate patterns inside the Hexidex structure store an enormous amount of energy. The ability to harness that energy would create a fuel system more plentiful than the light we get from the sun every day.

The longer Hexidex is forced to be unstable to release energy, the more unstable it becomes. With a loss of energy in one part of the structure, it reorganizes itself to become as stable as possible. A dramatic loss in energy will create an extremely unstable structure - a ticking time bomb with the ability to produce a blast large enough to be felt on the sun, with a 5 kilogram sample
(**not in notes** i weigh something like 50 Kilograms, i think)

Wow, sounds like you've got your hands full then. Hope you release a demo soon.

i made a website for my game... if i can really call it a game yet....almost everything is still on paper

ee.domaindlx.com/paradoxboh/

i changed my name a bit too. its now "PARADOX: The Birth of Hexidex" instead of just Hexidex.

i am still working out bugs and adding content but i think all the links work and its pretty much all viewable.

if any one has any questions, concerns, death threats, wishes or general trivia, please send them my way

thanks, i hope you enjoy!
