Jesus Christ:Monster killer

Post by MrPixel »

you play Jesus Christ, back from the dead, in 2090, charged with the ushering in the rapture, armed with a holy minigun with infinite ammo, hunting down bigger and bigger demons. they at first are small but soon get bigger and bigger, requiring quite a lot of processing power from the 128k (the 48k version, if i decided to do so, would crash the moment you type attack as the game will go through a whole list of variables all at once, and that's just the first screen)

it's just a thought experiment for now, but the general idea is that of a text adventure but attacking details the damage you do, with an accurate list of modifiers if any (you are allowed 3 upgrades at the start plus one level 6 defense buff). i thought of incorporating a D&D type system where bullet damage is up to chance but will scrap it, too much of a headache.
if possible, if this gets done, i may think of a 48k version.

the game will be in BASIC. Machine code is not a priority.

To do:
Layout of the city (building in the 48k's case)
enemy description
damage modifiers
bullet power (upgrades affect bullet power)

current:
city: detroit
Factions: Leatherhead (allied) and Boneyard (evil)
cheese:likely (remember perfect dark?)
gratuitous gore and blood:Hell yes
am i going to hell:depends, does the devil have reserves? :twisted:

Could you use some another hero, not Jesus?

It's a completely needless controversy. Some people may see such game as a mockery of religion.

Agreed. Especially not in good taste on Easter Sunday.

If it was an FPS you wouldn't have to depict the main character...

The mirror would shatter before you got the chance to look in it. That’d be your special power.
