Storyline-

This game doesn’t have much storyline, sorry. The point is, the future has come, and even though the creation of new species is illegal, a band of rebellious vigilantes (that’s you) realizes the police (that’s them) aren’t doing their job. It’s up to you to make new creatures to help destroy evildoers.

Game play-

The most important part of the game is the creation of creatures, not to use them against mischief-makers. To make a creature, first you choose a pre-made bone structure, or make your own. Each bone has one or more connective ends, and some are stronger than others are. Creatures with simple bone structure are quick and have high health, and more complicated bone structures are more efficient and have cooler attacks. Next, the respiratory system is created. The lower you put it, the more prone it is to damage, but the muscles are more efficient and strong. The higher it is, the stronger the lungs are, but the muscles are worse. After that, you choose where to put the muscles, and next, the brain. The four choices are Large and Complicated, Small and Complicated, Large and Simple, and Small and Simple. Then you choose eyes, 1-6 of them, the digestive system, whether being a strong carnivore, a smart herbivore, or an omnivore that’s a mix of the two. Finally, the skin is added. Fur is heavy and makes the creature slow, and just bare skin is light and fast, but offers no protection. Scales are heavy and slow, but they have high defensive abilities. Each bone, muscle, eye, digestive system, brain, lungs, and skin cost money, but not much each. Normally, to make a creature, you need to buy model parts, which cost half as much but don’t allow life, prototype parts which aren’t efficient, but cost only ¾ as much, and finally regular parts, along with a part construction machine. Say, ‘x’ is how much just the regular parts cost. The machine would normally cost 1 and ¾ x. the total cost would be 4x. I’d say you’d start off with about 7x. The vigilante part of the game will be 3rd person, while you control the creature with the arrow keys for movement, and probably a, s, d, f, and space for attacks and such. For each enemy you destroy, you gain about .05x. For each innocent you save, you gain probably about .2x. You and your group between yourselves have 1 creature each in the beginning, and all 3 go around saving people in the bustling metropolis. Your partners can also earn you money. Special missions give you lots of more money.

Someone please help me with the storyline, and the different goals, although the goal in my mind is the defeat of some evil force. Comments are accepted with gratitude!
