GKC - Echoing Depths

PLEASE READ
  • Why did you create this? This is off-topic.

I created this because instead of creating multiple topics about my game and cluttering the forum up, I have one mega-topic on my game.

==================================

Hello everyone!

This post is dedicated to my Gimkit Creative Game: Echoing Depths, and all things related to it. Example: I need help making a gimmick for Chapter 2. I would come to this post and ask for that help in the comments!

-=CHAPTER TITLES:=-
Chapter 1: A Perilous Journey
Chapter 2: A Sickening Surprise
Chapter 3: [Still Deciding, give suggestions!]

Thumbnail for Chapter 1.

=========================

MAIN CONCEPT:
You are Scientist-42. One of many Gims on the BetaPrisim, an Echo Research ship headed to Tennibris. However, a simple research trip can go wrong. A Vortex Agent had snuck on the ship, using invisibits, unknown to the many Echo agents. He was part of a Vortex Research Team until, back on the home planet, TAG, they found THE SHATTERED HEART OF VOID. A Powerless Relic, almost old as Time Itself. It was said to be formed by a legendary Gim named JOSH. However, there was one weakness about the Shattered Heart of Void. It was, well… shattered. The Vortex Agent realized he could utilize this against Echo, giving THEM the upper hand he had wanted for his team for so long. The research team brought it back to the Vortex base and secured it miles underground in a facility. But there was another Vortex breakthrough. One of the main scientists had discovered a serum so powerful, so deadly that if one drop was spilled on the floor, Huge, Lethal Plants would take root in a matter of hours. However, the Vortex Supreme Agent ordered the Same Vortex Agent from the Research Team to take this serum onto the Echo Ship and stop all Echo plants. The Agent, corrupted by the Heart of Void, Driven by hate against Echo, and powered by grim determination, snuck on the ship.

CHAPTER 1 PLOT/LORE: [CHAPTER IS FINISHED, AWAITING PUBLISH.]
About a week of sneaking around later, he used the Chemical on the ship. This is where you, Scientist-42 come in. You are a fortunate survivor of the “Growth”. You were hit on the head by a vine and blacked out. You wake up hours later, with a note next to you, saying that The Other Survivors are waiting for you at the Escape Pods, all the way on the Other side of the Ship. Can you make it to them without becoming one with the green, writing plantgims?

CHAPTER 2 PLOT/LORE
[IN DEVELOPMENT]

CHAPTER 3 PLOT/LORE
[STILL BEING CONCEPTED/CREATED]

==================================================
If you have any suggestions, concerns, or additions I could add to my map, please, do share! I would be very, very grateful! Hey, who knows, maybe your idea or concept is so good you get in the credits! :open_mouth:

Do you need a thumbnail for this game? Because I would really love to try making one! And I want to play this game, so do you have a release date yet?

Past Work



It’s fine if the answer is no, by the way. (I see you typing lol)

OH MY GOD!! YES, I WOULD LOVE A THUMBNAIL IN YOUR STYLE!!

  • A default gim, or in other words, the one, the only SCIENTIST-42 standing in a hallway, with a bunch of groundbreaking plants and infested/infected things behind them.
  • A bunch of Plantgims, dispersed throughout the hallway.
  • A Big slash dividing in the hallway Scene and the Escape Pod Scene
  • Admiral Pulsar, Scribblez, and Yellow Split on the other side of the slash, in a room with a Command table behind them and maybe Peaceful Morning (gim) behind them too. *NO PLANTS IN THAT ROOM, THAT’S THE ESCAPE PODS ROOM.

Seriously, thanks a ton dude, you’re so incredibly respectful and helpful!

====================================================

As for the release date, well, I’m a bit… heh… broke regarding Gimbucks, and to publish it’s 1000 so… around Thursday I’m hoping. if not, then Friday.

That was very nice…
I’m actually thinking about going over all the stages of making a good GKC thumbnail as a guide with examples, so all I’ll say is maybe stay tuned for that? If people want it, that is. I’m not sure if it’s really neccessary or if people would like it.
