Do it about something you know.

Set it in a school where you have to pass a test at the end of the week. You can make puzzles out of how to move around the school avoiding getting detention, help classmates with tasks so they will help you (e.g need a text book that the local bully stole from the class swot, maybe you have to distract him and somehow get the combination to his locker)or maybe you just puzzle your way into teachers office and copy the test without being caught.

I’m sure there are all sorts of side stories you could add in to flesh out the story.

     

An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.

Or how about this:

You’re a girl who has to make an adventure game for an IT class. She can’t figure out what to do so she decides to murder her teacher. So the puzzle is to figure out the way to do the deed and not get caught. There are multiple endings depending on how you perform - jail, or getting away scot free. Grin

How about an elephant who has to excape from the zoo. (S)he tries to get help from the magpies who fly around there. After escaping from the cage it has to negotiate the zoo and find the exit.

i’m with Lucien,use a setting you know.you can use real locations which you know or even real people.it’s much faster than having to create a new world and characters on your own.
also since locations and people’s personalities are there you can think of a story for them much easier.they don’t need any polishing or whatnot.

PS:this is where you can see everyone’s storymaking style.tsa can probably do more fantasy style stories whereas ozzie and oscar think about more realistic scenarios.it’s very interesting!!!

I’m not too sure about my fantasy story conjuring abilities. I have written some stories but they played in the real world with just one thing different. This has interesting consequences for the people involved. But I think I can do the escaping elephant too. That one is easier to turn into a small AG.

I like tsa’s idea but I think you should be a naked mole rat caught in a corrupt matriarchal underground mole government and the food rations keep disappearing and somehow you get framed for it and there will be a lot of mystery and conspiracies and intrigue.
