Star System - 21A7 Info/Gameplay

The moment you've all been waiting for!

Game name: Star System - 21A7

Basic Game Info:  A war rages across multiple galaxies.  However the original battleground, Star System 21A7, is still embroiled in brutal conflict.  Both sides have poured nearly everything they have into this battle, and the winner decides the war.  Who will win this conflict, and inevitably the war?  Will it be the Vinokians and their Imperium of Machines, or the Torassi and their Hive Empire?  Choose your side, soldier!

Gameplay:  The game is a shooter with one of those plastic guns.  The gun looks to be a high tech rifle.  The player can choose between seven missions on each side.  High scores are calculated for each mission(to encourage kids to spend more money and play each mission).
The PC moves from cover to cover throughout the level, the player controlling when they stand up in order to see past their cover and fire.  There are three ways for the PC to fire.  They can go to the right of their cover, to the left, or stand to fire from above(when cover allows, at times you will only be able to stand for firing).  When all enemies in the wave are destroyed, the PC can move forward to the next cover.  Don't take too long, though!  Cover can be destroyed, and then you'll be a sitting duck!

Characters:
(PC's)
 - Captain Umlag(Torassi): Captain of an infantry platoon, was transferred to the Black Guard due to his skill in combat.

 - Unit 21859Y7(Vinokian): A Royal Marine, transferred to this front in order to take high risk missions.
(NPC's)
 - Navaliok Torvakus: Torvakus of the Vinokian Soldier Caste, he is in command of all Vinokian forces in 21A7's galaxy.

- Chetyre Altakon:  Altakon of the Vinokian Fleet Caste, she is in command of all Vinokian Fleets.

- Yana Vahlak:  A turncoat from the Imperium of Machines, she has allowed the Torassi to survive and fight back.

- General Tonfa: A decorated war hero for the Torassi, in command of Torassi forces in this sector.

Notable Locations:
 - Star 21A7: The surface is the site of the Torassi colony/city and fortress.  This is where the majority of gameplay will happen, and where you find Chetyre Altakon or Yana Vahlak.

 - Vinokian Command Cruiser:  The center of Vinokian power in the system.  This is where you will find Navaliok Torvakus and the majority of Vinokians in charge.

 - Torassi Hive Fortress: The center of Torassi power in the system.  This is where you find General Tonfa and the majority of Torassi in charge.

Things to get!
 - Ammo
 - Health Packs
 - Comm Charges, used to call in reinforcements.
 - Shield Packs, used to give you a layer of shield health.

Boss Fight:
 - Chetyre Altakon:  This battle takes place in the sky.  You are on a circular platform with cover surrounding you.  You must stand and spin to find Chetyre so you can fire on her.  She only stays in one place for a short amount of time, though, and will fire on you when she gets the chance!  He gunfire is strong, so the cover wont last forever!

 - Yana Vahlak:  This battle takes place in a laboratory.  Yana will run from cover to cover, and only fire on you when behind cover.  Choose the time when she runs and as she fires to get shots off!  Be quick, though, after eight minutes a specialized EMP blast will be fully charged and knock you offline!

 - General Tonfa:  This battle takes place in the Hive Fortress Command Center.  You fight Tonfa as well as six Black Guard soldiers.  Each have a layer of shield health above their normal health.  They will all move from cover to cover, so be sure to fire as they move!  You have several bits of cover you can move between for this fight, so try not to let it all be destroyed!

- Navaliok Torvakus:  This battle takes part in three parts.  At first you have to face him and four bodyguards.  When his shields are down he will retreat, leaving you to deal with his bodyguards.  Chase him to the next room, where he will be in a mech suit.  Destroy the suit in order to cause his retreat.  Give chase!  This final part is the most difficult part.  He has six bodyguards and his shields have regen'd(any true health damage inflicted in earlier fights will stay).  They will move between cover, and his offensive capabilities have greatly improved due to his proximity to the reactor.  This fight will have generally the same mechanics as Tonfa's fight.  There is one change to the fight, however.  You can cause the reactor overload and make the bodyguards inactive for two minutes, at which point they reboot(if not destroyed) and begin fighting again.

  1. Hi Gabby, love your character's story :) Btw, I'm part of another AU project, and the creator of it commissions people to do art related to the characters. I was thinking maybe we can do the same thing for Arcade, like if any of your friends do point commissions or are able to do free requests even, that would be great! Or if you want to draw art for it too it would be lovely. I will too :D
