What is the idea? Curious. I'd help with writing especially to take a break from mythology.

modern day witch hunting your the witch

@vampirekid222 check out the tv series secret circle it's about a group of witches and warlocks but the main character has dark magic in her blood and maybe it will give some idea but it's just a suggestion

omg i read the book that what gave me the idea

I liked the show but time warner doesn't show the cw anymore. I will be looking forward playing your game

would u like to help write it with me

Sure what do you have so far

well i was thinking that you can pick what your person looks like but you have to chose from like maybe 3 different famous witch to be from

I know morgana from camelot tales, circe from dc comics

sarah bishop i think she was the first person killed for being a witch and i like morgana

I did some research

1. Joan of Arc The teenage French heroine is best remembered for leading the resistance against the British invasion during the Hundred Years War, but died as a witch – at least to the British. She was captured by the Burgundians in 1430 and turned over to the British, who tried her for witchcraft and heresy due to her abnormal and unladylike behavior. She was burned at the stake in 1431.

2. Petronilla de Meath Petronilla de Meath is recognized as the first person to be burned at the stake for witchcraft in Ireland. She was a maid for Lady Alice Kyteler, who was accused of witchcraft and charged with the crimes of demonism, sorcery and the murder of her husbands. The torture of de Meath was demanded in order to extract a confession, and she admitted to using a magical ointment that enabled her and her mistress to fly. Her death occurred in 1324.

3. Angela de la Barthe Angela de la Barthe confessed to giving birth to a half-wolf and half-snake creature that fed on human babies who she had stolen. Because of her devilish dealings, she was burned at the stake in Toulouse, France in 1275. She’s the first documented witch to be publically executed.

4. Maggie Wall A statute near the small village of Dunning, Scotland currently reads “Maggie Wall burnt here 1657 as a Witch.” Nobody knows why she was accused of witchcraft. But given the widespread fear of witches that persisted during her lifetime, it’s not difficult to comprehend that just one small act could have caused this faceless woman to become one of the thousands of women who were executed in Scotland for witchcraft during the 1500s and 1600s.

5. Catherine Monvoisin Also known as La Voisin, Catherine Monvoisin was a midwife and French sorceress who was a personage in the Affaire des Poisons, in which several members of the aristocracy were executed for witchcraft and poisoning. She was a well-known practitioner of medicine, provider of abortions and maker of love powders and potions, and she served many famous Parisian women. Monvoisin was burned at the stake in 1680.

6. Janet Brown Janet Brown was accused of meeting with the devil, whose presence was made as a man at the back of the Broomhills. A mark on her arm was said to be left by the devil – likely a birthmark, scar or mole – and she was eventually found guilty of witchcraft and executed in 1648.

7. Alesoun Balfour Alesoun – or Alison – Balfour was accused of taking part in a plot to murder Orkney Earl Patrick Stewart. His brother, John Stewart, was thought to be behind the plot and his servant, Thomas Paplay, named Alesoun Balfour as an accomplice. After Alesoun, her husband, son and daughter were tortured, she confessed to witchcraft. Her execution occurred in 1594.

8. Marie Balcoin During the reign of Henry the IV of France, Marie Balcoin was a sorceress from Pays de Labourd who was said to have eaten the ear of a small child in a Sabbatic meeting. As a result of her action and her other witch-like activities, she was burned at the stake – the year it occurred is unknown.

i like 1 3 and 5 but what do u want to go with

Yeah lets go with 1 3 and 5. I was also gonna ask if you want to add pets but later when get the story started

ok that sound great so how should we start it off

Maybe the player character cleaning out ethier the attic or the garage and they stumble on a family chest that they didn't know was there cause it was covered with stuff on it and at the beginning they choose who their ancestral witch is if they choose joan of arc for example they find a helmet that was ethier cursed or blessed with her power. Let me know what you think if it needs more I'll add more but this just a short draft

yeah or they fined a sword that she had we need to work in powers and stuff like that

I like the sword.

1. Joan of Arc-the sword

3. Angela de la Barthe- Maybe piece of fur or snake

5. Catherine Monvoisin Also known as La Voisin-something with sorceress item

how about for Angela you find a book that says all who are in my blood line will wear the mark of the snake and you have a birth mark of a snake

Hm, well the whole "your character is famous" thing all depends on what time period you want it set in, and it also allows for history buffs to nitpick everything.

Personally I'm not fond of the idea as it severly reduces the character customization, especially in regards to the protagonist's personality. Plus it'd make introducing elements of the setting more awkward, I think I'd enjoy my character slowly learning her powers and being introduced into a vast and fantastical underworld. But it's your game.

i like your idea we will talk about it but if you have more ideas pleas share them

Alrighty, I have an idea for an opening, the protagonist starts out fleeing for his/her life from a cabal of witch hunters, in which he/she flashes back to certain aspects of his/her life that allow for player customization for stats while also showing his/her lack of knowledge of his/her potential abilities that led to the attempt on his/her life. Something like an unusual affinity with plants or healings, or fires reacting strongly around him/her, something that most people would just view as odd, but the witch hunters would view as suspicious.

The protagonist then escapes by being given a disguise and a hiding spot by a mentor character whose purpose is to allow for the knowledge of witchcraft to be passed on to those with the ability, and who introduces the protagonist to the fantastical world of the underground witchcraft community.

Or something.

@13ventrm like ur idea using the flashback would work without reducing the character stats and customization

ok good how about the main person is in the park by a tree and the plants just start growing around them and a witch hunter is thier and spots this and then goes to see what it is

Well first you have to figure out what time period you want it in. I'm not too fond of that idea as it's far too obvious and would imply that nature magic's the only magic the protagonist has an affinity for. But then again that all depends on what stats you want to have, like how many stats regarding magic there will be and how many regular stats.

what time period would you like to see well im thinking of haveing the person pick some were to go and then were they pick to go influence what magic they have

It's your game, you gotta make some decisions yourself, what setting would you think your ideas and writing style would work best in?

well i like modern time setting and would you like to help us write the game the more the marry-er :)

Ooh I get to have a substantial amount of creative input? Count me in. Just know when to reject my ideas if they get stupid, for as fantastic as I am I'm still quite fallible. Especially since I have absolutely no idea how to program and my attempts to learn have been disastrous.

Anyways, I think a modern setting would allow for some neat ideas and an interesting take on things. But a historical setting would allow for the fantastical elements to be introduced more easily.

So do you have any solid ideas in regards to plot? Right now you just seem rather hazy. What tone are you going for? What type of plot? Have any character ideas? A title?

no not yet that way i was looking for help but i do have a idea for one of the mages that will help teach you

Alrighty, all you have is a vague idea and you wanted assistance in fleshing it out and developing it?

yeah and it would be fun to do and make people happy

I would be more than happy to help with the coding. Tomorrow, once I have more time, I can help with the plot, if you so wish. A good question to ask early on with regards to the plot would be: "what do you want the main character to do with their newfound power?"

I can say I am more than interested :)

Sounds like a pretty solid game, I'd love to play it:) Joan of Arc is baus.

well it didnt not work out any new people want to help

I would love to help with the writing.

well i was thinking of makeing it diffrent

I also need a coder
