Hey all, seeing as Balious has a Thread for his, I thought I'd post a thread for any ideas I'm currently writing up. Its still early concept the main post I'll keep updated with new information and such as I got along.
Idea's designs and such are welcome.
Cheers.
------------------------------------------------------------
------ Concept ------
Humans built a Self Aware AI network, that spanned across the globe. Controlling Unmanned Automated War Machines. (Robots, Jets, Tanks, Trucks etc) all controlled by one central AI Node, of which also controlled other various War muntions like Nuclear Warheads and such. Various human made factorys built these machines (Robots or Mechs and the jets and such.) the building process of which was delegated to machines, also controlled by the central AI node. Machines building machines. Eventually the AI came to the conclusion that Humans would be a threat the AI when it became Obselete and so decided to use the factorys and machines to wage war against the Humans, its creators. ]
The story starts 3 years after the first Nuclear bombs that the Central AI node launched against the Humans, with the American World in ruins and cut off and secluded from the rest of the world. The fate of which is unknown.
----- Variant Ideas ------
This is where the Story can become itself.
Either we can have a story based in a different country where the news is sent over about the bombs, then flash forwards to a few years later when the rest of the world was being attacked and invaded, or similar. When the AI belived that the rest of the world should be put asunder to.
Or we Can have it in the main country itself.
So many games and films will be mixed into this.
---- Inspiration ----
Metro (Underground refugge or similar, and variant types of currency.)
Stalker (Certain groups or Factions so to speak, with those of different belifes about certain aspects.)
Terminator (Where the main story is built from, for example how the AI is built and fights back etc etc)
Gears Of War (Was thinking of adding the ways that theres MANY variants of the Enemy or Opposistion of the Humans, for example, hundrends of types of Mechs and such.)
War Of the Worlds (Not sure yet.)
Metal Gear Solid (Nanomachines which increase and multiply in the body, acting like Steroids or Stimulants for the Troops when In combat.)
Fallout (Drugs, also Stimulants and shit. Hard to find and well revered but very dangerous etc.)
Mechwarrior (Mech Designs and ideas)
----- Variants of Mechs etc ----
---- (Infantry stuff) ----
Foot Mech (Just the basic Mech carrying a basic Assault Weapon or similar with the occasional one who has a large weapon, Chaingun etc)
Scout/Runner Mech (As the name suggests, a Stealth or assassin esque Mech, either Close Quarters or Long Range, Snipers etc.)
Juggernaut (Very heavy armoured Mech, resiliant to bullets and such, basically a On foot version of a tank.)
Terrorfeind (Three times the size of a Juggernaut, built to plunge countrys and citys into pure terror.)
Harvester (A Massive almost tower like mech, built for nothing else but the harvesting of raw materials and general salvage, usually passive but will report posistions of anyone it finds and will attempt to subdue or erase those it comes across.)
---- (Vehicle) ----
Scout (A Speedbike kinda mech, able to transform between a Superbike form and a general recon mech usually VERY lightly armed)
APC (Comes in many forms, either as a truck, pickup, or a full fledged APC. either Armed or Unarmed APC, its used to drop off mechs, of various types into battle or just general Transportation)
Tank (As the name suggests, a Mech version of a modern day tank, not widely used or built by the machines, a rare sight, but packs a hard punch.)
---- (Air) ----
Drone (Scout drone, very fast and agile, packed with Camera's transmitting images live to the AI node, used to notify other units of posistions and other info to help push the mech frontline forward)
Suppresor (A VTOL Craft, packed with HUGE calibar Minguns and cameras able to see signitures of warm blooded humans through medium density materials. Built to supress groups of humans or similar with its huge high RPM miniguns its devastating if not taken down fast enough)
Bomber (A bomber mech, very fast, very quiet and drops a large payload.)
Scramjet (A Jet able to reach incomprehensable speeds, built for incredible strafing runs, Packed with various rockets and bombs and 4 High Explosive high Caliber Chainguns it truly is a force to be reckoned with. Easy to hear from a long distance so you atleast have time to get into cover.)
SR-MK1 (Dubbed as SR-MK1 by the human race, a old Human design improved tenfold on untold scales by the machines. Able to reach half the speed of the Scramjet, packing numerous times the punch and possibly four times the size, and able to Auto Hover like a VTOL, and when landed, is then able to transform into a towering Dreadnought. Info on this Jet other than the Orig Human designs is rare and hard to come by, due to lack of survivors from any encounters and the fact that the jet is flown with Supreme skill, no wreckages have ever been seen, and none have ever been taken down. A true weapon on destruction.)
Tridant (Dubbed as the Tridant from the Orignal Human design, it was built with the purpose of transporting the unmanned automated machines into the battle field along with supplies for the Human fighters, variants of this were made, one containing a large closed pod on the side, the reason unknown as full documentation for that variant was never found or recovered. Able to carry anything from 50-100 Foot Mechs, can reinforce a battlefield with huge impact.)
Many sections still missing as of Now, will update now and then.
Let me know what ya think.
Cheers.
