So I've been wanting to make a remake of FunshineDX.

It is about time I follow through with this 95% complete project.

Things I know will be implimented

1. Instant access item shop. In this game players receive score through various misc. items. Yet, this point system never had a true function. I will allow players to buy weapons and items which typically have limited use. This directs people to remain active in score acquisition. Legendary items will be permanent.

2. Plot Motivation. Funshinedx followed a non linear exploration driven quest. Yet, players found this style to be repetitive. Therefore I will be adding story following exploration and atmosphere as opposed to character and drama story.

3. Scripted Enemies. I will be needing help on this department for I lack mech knowledge but can paint the picture for enemies pretty damn good.

4. Enhanced graphics- This time around I know exactly how expansive to create environment graphics. The past two Funshine operations have been using PAL color set. I will be using a stronger 8-bit palette but nothing too large and unessesary.

Let's keep things on topic guys. This whole ISIS discussion that we're spiraling off to won't lead to anything good. This is a quest project update topic, let's talk about the quest project.

You have my attention...

Everyone's opinions on the topic title have been pretty well stated. I've removed most of the posts here, but the matter of the title has been thoroughly discussed. Let's move on. If Astro wants to change the title that's his business, but it isn't against the rules. Furthermore, if you have an issue with a post, please use the report function instead of confronting a member in the topic. Please keep discussion here related to the update or quest project itself. Thank you.

 

In other words ... what Moosh just said.

I'm sorry, but I'm lacking context. What does the title have to do with anything?

 

Regardless, I am interested in your remake. I tried playing the demo you put up earlier but simply couldn't get behind the graphics it had. Everything else was good so I'll be looking forward to a remake.

International Space Institute for Scientists.

 

I made the plot today. The theme, again, is to keep the story simple and atmospheric, progression through exploration and mystery.

 

You will play as an ISIS member whose starship has crash landed on an abandoned planet. While trying to find equipment to repair the ship, the cosmonaut encounters the civilizations remains on the planet, causing him to go on an expansive, clue solving journey. What sort of secrets and technology will the ISIS member uncover?! Stay tuned.

Maybe you should change it to International Science Space Institute?

Only came here for the drama.

 

Looks great! I'm interested in seeing what you have planned!

*walk back up as see ISIS word on it*   Nope.  I am out of here.  *run away*

I agree.

Or International Space Institute for Researchers.

That suggestion crossed my mind last night.

I like how you struck a controversial nerve from the start but planned why.  

 

Also mostly - I think it's a pretty basic and neat concept for your game, that including 'finding a highly rare strong powerful metals' to upgrade and repair your ship/gear with in some alien terrain dungeons or a few.  

 

Have it wear down over time also waiting to be re-fixed.*

 

IS, a Pretty metroid based idea, except that, 'that game' never fully takes advantage of the numerous spare parts and constant upgrades to anything' that could be constantly added, repaired and littered throughout maps either guarded by monsters or not, just partially.

I loved FunshineDX and was disappointed that you had shelved the quest.

So I'm very much looking forward to no matter what it's called!
