Land of the Swine
 

It's currently called Land Of The Swine on the list, feel free to log on.

Hello, friends! I finally have my own creative freedom to work on a playerworld, and I'm sticking to what I know best. There have been themed playerworlds in the past, though the theme has never been too prevalent. Running around with a gun isn't what I would consider a theme... It's just a bunch of folks running around with a gun.

Land of the Swine may be the first playerworld to stick to a theme... The fact that the theme is pretty wacky with an oddball twist on it should make it all the more fun. All characters, including players, will appear as Swine people. There may also be other races (Chicken, cow..) but I haven't decided on whether to do that or not. Maybe it will be added later.


The year is 2105. After the female gender was rendered unable to have children in 2028, man was forced to mate with the next best thing: pigs. Thus they were able to save humanity, however in the process all the new offsprings looked like swines. They stand on 2 feet, and appear as humans except for their distinctive pig features. So I guess it's not really humanity anymore. Swineanity?

Because pigs have no thumbs, or even fingers, their civilization collapsed. It became very tribal, and organic. Only a very few structures from the old world still exist and they are protected like Fort Knox, despite being just simple little dinky buildings and such. The swine people have had a hard time rebuilding society because it takes one pig to squeaze a nail between two hooves while the other pig bangs the nail in with his hoove. It seems like without thumbs and fingers, almost everything is more difficult! X_x

So, the land has returned to the way God intended, although the inhabitants could be considered abominations. Oh well. At least these Swine people can continue their population by mating with other swine people. The way they were doing it in 2028 with normal pigs was a bit gross. :)

The story will revolve about a mythical being soon to be named, but for the moment he will be dubbed the Colossal Swine. It is the life goal of every little porker to meet with the Colossal Swine, but they have to prove their worthiness by becoming incredible warriors with a thought capacity larger than that of your average folk.

Things that are extremely complex may be simplified in a preschool manner. Things that are very elementary may be taught in "colleges" in the most advanced way imagineable. The swine people are very pretentious and claim immense knowledge but ultimately are not the brightest... Think our modern day in 100 years with everyone going to public school. Yes - scary, isn't it?


As for quests, there will be a bunch of them. You'll be able to get 20 fullhearts, and there will probably be quests to gain fun NPC items and currency as well. The fullheart quests will probably be more grandiose in presentation than the currency quests, which may be given from NPC characters or whatnot. To keep people from forgetting the storyline and process, there will be a Guide NPC that says what to do next. The quests will most-likely be linear in order to further the storyline in a specific manner. But apart from the main questing, the world will be pretty free. Currency quests will be on the side.

Minigames will be a large part of the fun as well. They probably won't be your typical "pot race" though. People, feel free to submit what you enjoy the most of events. There may be a twist on capture the flag where each time tries to steal the other team's Massive Truffle. There will also be a bunch of other barnyard antics, but the planning for that isn't quite in the works yet.

Apart from the fullheart and currency quests, there will be quests for fun NPCs. Still, something that isn't quite planned out yet.


Despite not planning on having anything to buy at the moment except for milk and eggs, there will be a CURRENCY! The currency will be Truffles. After gaining the ability to dig for truffles with your snout, you will be able to collect them. Instead of having spare change (like gold and silver on GK that nobody gives a hoot about) there will simply be the one kind, Truffles. Also there probably won't be a massive amount of this currency.


The exact size of the map hasn't yet been set, but it probably won't be TOO large. Most classic playerworlds often make massive maps where players only situate themselves on 1 or 2 levels. Land of the Swine will have a completely detailed overworld, no empty levels, and everything will have a purpose. Players may be able to submit houses but they will have to fit in with the theme and be only one level or so. All buildings will conform to the story theme. Houses will be mainly created with wood and grass-like materials but on the exterior (overworld) and interiors.

Development of the overworld will most-likely be handled by me alone UNLESS I can find level makers who can match or exceed my skills and are dedicated workers.

Scripters - Pretty important, because scripting eludes me. x_x Still, you've got to impress with your work.

Graphics - Working with sprites, monster development, items, and more. We'll be using pics1 as the tileset.

Levels - You must have great abilities making levels with pics1. Inside AND outside levels, and remember - they must conform to the theme.

So, if you're ready to work on the silliest playerworld to ever exist, just send me a forum PM. Or, you can also contact me in this manner:

That's an absolutely horrible storyline, no offense. I don't even find it entertaining for humor value. :(

Sounds disturbing.

oh wait, That's me @ "what is this"! :p

love it!

btw: lmao
"The year is 2105. After the female gender was rendered unable to have children in 2028, man was forced to mate with the next best thing: pigs."

Haha I hope this isn't a joke. It sounds original to say the least.

I lol'ed hahaha wow, you need custom GFX though but it would be fun....In a weird almost crazy way.
(I think your joking though :D )

The focus is on fun. Therefore, it's not a joke. But jokes are fun. So I think it's going to be a pretty fun project to work AND play on. :)

You're gonna need to change housetiles in pics1 though, therefore not being able to use reg pics1, because then you can't have the straw and stuff material for the houses XD
This... sounds... shizzdizz...

Well there are wood tiles, and that black-bordered grass type stuff... It could be used. If someone would like to edit the pics1 to add more compatible stuff that would be great. We probably won't use stuff like the bridge tiles, castle tiles, etc...

Now that you mention it, for the sake of sanity and sticking with the storyline, there might not be TOO many house-type deals. Playerhouses will probably be like the image below, or smaller...

LOL thats an awesome storyline

You said it :p

I fully support this idea :)
Creative, funny and original! A++

It's different, I love it :D

Im soooo gonna play this!

"Squeee, Pootie stole my collection of sticks! Get it back, and I'll give you 5 truffles!"

I can see it now... :D

Truffles haha how bout trifles? xD

Man should of mated with Curtizzles avatar

I take it you have some sort of fetish for pigs? With the storyline... and the account name and all...

I'm assuming farmers and cayotes will be your baddies?

Very possible... Farmers and coyotes are both potential harms to swines. :D Except remember, men mated with pigs, that means the farmers would be pig people too.

As for Trifles, well... I dunno. Maybe the Trifle could act as a super-truffle? :D

Also, the playerworld is now named Land of the Swine - not Stone Henge.

:)

This makes absolutely no sense at all. You can't mate with pigs to begin with, and even if you were going for the surrealist trait (obviously so), it still wouldn't make sense for man would have no reason to mate with a pig. Pigs don't give birth to human babies, so the human population would eventually ceast to exist regardless.

Besides, I would never mate with a pig. I love women too much. :)

Shut up....look at your title and dare to say that again
Its fantasy for crying out loud!

It's funny, this kind of randomness is the only thing that shows me some graal players still have an imagination

There's a fine line between fantasy and stupidity. I don't know about you, but I'm not into animals sexually. Not that other animals could give birth to human babies anyways.

Pigsex :D and I highly doubt anyone would have sex with a pig

I'd post something here, but it'd be a nongraal-related link, owell

beastiality O_O

Yeah, that doesn't mean some people aren't though. Take Draenin and Zeton for instance. I don't think Graal is made to fit your requirements, nor tastes.

I demand to have my body as the "Big Bad Wolf" if I play. Its manditory :P.

How do you know for sure, have you TRIED? o_o

It's all in good fun, it's not REAL. :D

And if women magically were unable to procreate and pigs were, then it would be our duty as humans to continue the human race in any way we could. X_X

Also if I don't get some scripters, I won't be able to make quests or storyline stuff... x_x

I'll leave the having sex with pigs part to you. Just leaves more girls for me. :)

Some of you are taking a fun idea, and making it dirty by making it into way too much of a big deal.
Try having a sense of humor.

OMG! I'm playing this! I can see it now:
Fatteh: LOOK A WAFFLE! *drools*
Porker: WHERE!?
Fatteh: Haha! It's m-what are you ganna do with that spork?
Porker: Mmmmm! I love my waffles with bacon.

So if you saw a man having sex with a pig, you'd find it funny?

It's called a fantasy game. My friggin' god. Graal was first based on Zelda, Zelda is a fantasy game. Besides, it's called a joke on a game.

It's the context you're putting it in. I don't know if you're playing ignorant for the sake of argument, or really just haven't got a clue but, "After the female gender was rendered unable to have children in 2028, man was forced to mate with the next best thing: pigs." is but one part of the text, that and the terms used isn't exactly making it sexualized, which you are.

"MAN HAD SEX WITH PIG" is not what screamed out to me when I first read it, I found it highly amusing, not dirty at all. You're sexualized something which was intended to be a joke, not literal.

His fetish with pigs is quite serious. If you're going to take the fantasy route, don't use things that people will criticize you for (I.E IRL things that they will use to compare your horid remditions).


So, if you talk about a world where man has babies with pigs, obviously people will criticize that scenario for they will already have reality distorting that extremely fake scenario.


Yes, of course it was supposed to be a joke, I mean, when they say it and they make a server out of it, it must be a joke! :rolleyes:

True :) Account: oinknessx.
Password: p1gGysru13 (if it was I'd laugh so freaking hard because it says "piggys rule" lol! then I'd go on and make his friends think he's weird :O)

LOL

Not quite sure that a "horid remdition" is, but again you're taking things quite literal and to the extreme.

As you can see my account name is Rufus, when I was 11 (or so) I was a Final Fantasy VII fanatic, joined as Rufus and when people were making servers I came up with a great idea of making a Final Fantasy VII one. This liking of Final Fantasy VII did not mean I lived in Final Fantasy VII, it didn't mean I used Materia marbles, tried to call Summons and walked around with a big sword trying to kill people. I fail to see how if someone likes something and "lives" something online, that can somehow "distort reality" so they're living it offline too.

You're using the term "joke" in a different way. Sometimes jokes are funny, the server idea is funny, the server idea is a joke idea, not something to be taken seriously..

I know, that's almost as crazy as a group of people who worship a divine being and his son who was born from a virgin and killed on a Roman torture device and reborn three days later.

What will those crazy humans think of next?

Anything to get them through the day.
