Chapter 0 Script

To make this project easier to develop and to help it work out better than some of my past projects, I've decided to completely plan out everything before I try to actually "make" the thing. I also am splitting it into chapters to help me make each section of game better, because I can work on each piece separately. I also thinks it gives me a little more control over the player without it feeling like I'm controlling too much.

At least that's what _I_ think. :) [Please ignore my ego]

Here is the script for the introduction portion of the game. Comments and questions are welcome.

Luke is hanging out with his friends talking about all the wonderful things they are going to do.

L: We're gonna be the best trainers ever!
C: I'm so excited!
L: Where do you think we should go first?
C: Anywhere with water, I love WaterMon©. Where do you want to go first Rock.
R: We should go to Mallet Town first. It's where all the great trainers started.
L: I don't care where we go first as long as we visit every gymnasium on the way. I wanna get all 50 badges!
R: We should leave tomorrow morning. Mallet Town isn't that close to here.
Seth walks over and interrupts.
S: Luke, your Grandfather would like to see you before you leave.
L: I'll be right there. // I'll catch up with you guys later.
C: See you tomorrow!

Fade Out/In

LOCATION: Inside Luke's Home, Torou
WHO: Luke(L), Luke's Grandfather(G)

Luke sits on a bench next to his Grandfather's bed.

L: Grandpa, I'm here, what did you need?
G: Luke, how are you doing? You'll be leaving soon.
L: I know, but Seth will take care of you.
G: It's not that. I've just been thinking about a lot. Your mother died 2 years before you were born, it was a miracle you survived. Did you know that?
L: Yes Grandpa, you've told me many times.
G: Listen, you father was a great man, he raised you through those years. But he had to leave you on your own so he could go fight in the war. I haven't seen him since. But something bad happened to the town you lived in. Something very bad. When I heard I rushed to find you. You were the only survivor. The only thing you have from that experience is the scar on your forehead.
L: The triangle shaped scar that I have to cover up so I don't get made fun of?
G: Ignore them, it's a mark of power. Your entire home town, and everyone in it, was destroyed. But not you. Nothing can stop you if you stay determined.
L: Grandpa...
G: Luke, look at you! A 10 year old MegaMon trainer about to embark on a lifelong adventure. Your going to go far!
G: I don't remember my point, but don't forget where you come from. Your history is your foundation. And keep getting stronger, whoever destroyed your home town is still out there somewhere.
G: Now go back out and play while I get some rest.
