    Story needs evaluation

    Says me at my section at the Mag.
    *click*

    And for those who aren't Magonians:
    It was suggested at the Pavilion that I send my story to someone so they could evaluate it. Well, that was in referrance to Slayers' Reign, which unforunately is nowhere near finished being written down and/or typed up.

    However, it has occurred to me today that the script for The RPG Maker is written down. The story isn't as big as Slayers' Reign's, as the game was originally intended to be a quickly-made RPG shortly before RPGM2's release (heh, a little late there). However, I had put some work in the story since its initial conception, to where it actually matters if the story is good or not. Therefor, I'd like some assistance.

    Essentially, I want someone to look at my script, give some feedback on what's good and what probably needs changed, and possibly point out some good spots for subquest opportunities (I can't find any opportunities until 75% into the game). I only need one person to look at it, and it of course would have to be someone who knows how to tell a good story, preferrably someone who has already released a game with said good story. And of course, you'd have to be good at giving an evaluation. I'd doubt this thing deserves a "It's good, the end" type of evaluation. (Yet here's hoping it doesn't get a "This story sucks, get rid of it" type of evaluation.)

    If you want to know what sort of story needs evaluation, the game will be typical fantasy setting, involving the cliche amnesiac mystery person and elemental crystals/beasts. It is not intended to be a comedy, and there is no love interest. In terms of length, the script takes me a half-hour to read.

    The script at the moment is printed on paper, so I'll need to know if to send it as a Wordpad or Notepad document, or straight-out text in an e-mail (I doubt it's possible to PM a 7-page script, though correct me if I'm wrong.)

    So, um, apply today!

    EDIT: Oh yeah, if there are any questions, feel free to ask. I'll probably choose someone come this Saturday, assuming I get any good volunteer by then.

    I would be more than happy to take a look at your script.

    Although, you should really have 4-5 people take a look at it.

      Hmm, but I wouldn't want too many people knowing my story before it's out. That, and I'm not sure how easy that'd go. Maybe I should, if there turns out to be more than one person wanting to.

        I'll do it if you want. I don't know if I'm the best for the job, but I'll try.

                That's a dam good idea, it good your looking for feed back, just keep the steam going if you want a great game, it's the spirit that counts, it will make your game that much better.

                  Hey Will, I'll need your e-mail address (PM it to me).

                  Amin, I sent it to you.

                  And that script was definately too big to PM. 30,000 characters too many.

                  It'll be a little bit before I'm ready to do anything program-wise with this game, so anybody feel free to aks if you want to see it between now and then. Needless to say, though, it'll be full of spoilers.

                      Umm, the script isn't for Slayers' Reign.
