I have this idea for a game. It would be a platformer, but also a top-down shooter game on some levels.
The story:
Three Billion years ago, a very highly advanced race of beings that were called the Elders seeded life on seven different planets, in seven adjacent galaxies. Their reason for doing this is unknown.
One of the planets was Earth. The Year is 3092. Human warships on the edge of the Milky Way picked up a distress signal, and investigated. When they arrived, the ships that made the signal were all destroyed-a massive fleet, destroyed in minutes.
Another ship-roughly Ten miles wide appeared. The human ships were boarded, and their crew was interrogated. The massive ship made its way to the planet they learned of-Earth.
Upon arriving, the ship made quick work of Earth's defenses, and unleashed an Armada on the helpless planet. The ship belonged to the Kerkesh, which in our language means 'The Hive'. The Hive knows of the Elders' project. Their planet was one of the seven, and believes that the Elders wanted the seven planets to fight each other, and the winner of the battle would be given technology of unimaginable power.
The Hive wants to find an outpost on Earth left there by the Elders. Such an outpost existed on their planet, but it was destroyed by an unknown force. All that was left of it was an artifact that the Hive called the Oracle.
The humans' last hope is to find the Outpost and use its defenses to wipe out the Hive.
The player plays as Colonel Mark Robin. A war hero that has been sent on a mission to learn all he can from the Hive soldiers.
Enemies:
Hive Soldiers:
Drones: Small, three feet tall Hive warriors. They are resilient, and have a thick carapace. They cal roll up into spheres as an attack method, or for storage.
Guiders: Five foot tall versions of Drones. Faster, Stronger, and Smarter. Sometimes carry heavy plasma-grade weapons. When rolled up, their back spikes can extend, making them
Elites: Mysterious 'general' caste of the Hive. Appear to have shape shifting capabilities; the true form of the Elites is unknown. They are extremely durable; require no sustenance, sleep, or even oxygen. Have amazing regenerative abilities, and can take out Earth Warships with heavy plasma cannons.
Ships:
Hive:
Threader: Basic Hive unmanned fighter. Twelve feet long, look like Darts. Can open wings up into primary weapons. Capable of traveling 600 MPH. A squadron is equivalent to Five Threaders.
Gunners: Hive Mid-range Bombers. 600 meters long, and saucer-like in shape. Carry large compliments of soldiers, and 12 Squadrons of threaders.
Breeders: Hive Carriers. 1220 Meters long (1.22 KM, or .75 miles). Multi purpose Hive Vessels. Minimal weapons. Cary five Squadrons of Threaders.
Hive Ship: Called a 'Hive' Ship because Hive soldiers and ships are stored, and produced in these ships. All ships built by the Hive appear to be mostly Organic. Carries Hundreds of Threader Squadrons, and have Gunners, and Breeders attached to its hull for quick launch. 10 miles in diameter. These are the most Vital ships to the Hive. They only have ten or so of them. One was assigned to stay in orbit around Earth.
Human:
Seeker: Reverse engineered ship, based on the gunner. Superior to the Threaders, and equipped with plasma and projectile weapons. Their twice the size of a threader.
Shuttle: Multi-purpose Ship. Used as a drop ship mostly. Carries six Missiles, and has a secondary Vulcan weapon. 100 Meters long.
Platform: Human state-of-the-art warship. Carries full compliments of Seekers, and Shuttles. Approximately 800 meters long.
Weapons:
Human:
Pistol: A mid and close range weapon, which requires ammo. Deals small amount of damage to enemies.
P-90: A semi-automatic/automatic weapon. Requires ammo. Deals medium damage to enemies.
Rocket Launcher: A heavy weapon. Requires ammo. Deals Heavy Damage to enemies.
Vulcan: Machine gun weapon. Deals high damage to enemies. Uses energy based ammo, but doesn’t need to be refilled. Primary weapon on Seekers, and Shuttles.
Forcers: Reverse engineered Plasma cannon. Only found on Platforms, and Shuttles. Deals massive damage to enemies.
Missiles: Explosive projectile Weapon. Only found on Platforms, and Shuttles. Deals high damage to enemies.
Hive:
Staff: A blunt Weapon used by Guiders. Deals minimal damage to enemies.
Stifle: A plasma weapon used by Guiders. Deals medium damage to enemies.
Cannon: A powerful Charged Plasma Cannon. Deals Heavy damage to enemies. Used by Guiders, and Elites. Found On threaders, and Gunners.
Filose: A Vulcan-type plasma weapon. Deals medium damage to enemies. Found on Breeders.
Sylcklus: Most Powerful Hive weapon. Found on Hive ships, and can destroy entire land masses from orbit.
Ok, now that I've gotten that out of the way...
Characters:
Colonel Mark Robin-Was born forty years before the story. His sister, and his two best friends were killed in the Hive Ship's first assault on Earth. He is now a near-emotionless soldier bent on the destruction of the person who gave the order to destroy the ship his friends were on...
Major Mkayla-A skilled scientist, and weapons expert. She is responsible for the rapid reverse engineering of several pieces of Hive technology. She Idolizes Colonel Robin, but also knows of the heartless thing he's become.
The Vixen-An advanced AI class, used in all Platform-class ships.
Kaynarith-A Hive Elite that has been captured, and tortured. Information on Hive technology, battle plans, and attack formations has been taken from him. The regerative abilities of the Elite allow Kaynarith to be tortured almost around the clock. He has never revealed his true form however, choosing the form of Major Mkayla to taunt those who torture him.
Catala-Another Hive Elite. The 'sibling' of Kaynarith, who loves knowing that the brother he competed with is now suffering. Catala's Gunner was the ship that killed Colonel Robin's friends, and his sister. He is stronger, and faster, not to mention far smarter than Kaynarith. Catala is the soldier who found the Oracle on his planet, as well as the Oracle on another planet in the Elder's experiment, which was visited by the Hive before Earth.
Cid-A person, or thing that Kaynarith told humans of. He refuses to give any more information on them than its name.
Dadala-An Elderian personality left behind on Earth in the form of a hologram. He wishes to guide the Humans to find their Oracle, and the outpost.
These are the sprites that I've made for the ships of the game.
Any of the wonderful spriters here want to help me with the game (for creature enemies, and the humans)
