Hello. Today I am asking for help on my new game, Slipstream. So far it is about a general and a combat engineer being captured by a rebel faction in the midst of an incoming alien-human war. Need help on idea, please.

 

You're going to have to extrapolate on what exactly you're looking for here. No one is just going to write the story for you. But if you have specific questions, people may be able to offer their opinions. This just isn't much to go on.

Ok, what are you saying I should do?

Hey, I have a question. Can you share a draft with another person?

If you have sneak preview on in your profile, you can post a link here and request someone to read what you have and provide feedback.

Uhm... what I just said. Ask specific questions concerning what it is you are having trouble with. I have no idea what it is you want exactly.

Advice on plot? Pacing? Characterization? Branching? Formatting? Brainstorming? Etc.?

Again, no one is going to just write it for you. Even if you find someone willing to co-author, you should know what you want to write about beforehand.

Sorry.... Meanwhile, what are you up to.

Plot twist: The whole time the player thinks they are humans being captured by aliens, but really they are aliens being captured by humans.

Plot twist: The anal probing was done by a rebel faction of aliens to counter the mind controlling technology the main faction uses to manipulate humans. Only those who have been probed are safe.

Plot twist: There are no aliens, it's just some dudes dressed in rubber suits, capturing people and anal probing them for the lulz.

What the fuck End, this is a Sci-Fi story not an account of living in Missouri.

The general gets experimented on until he mutates into a hideous alien himself, but over time and with some research on the internet he and the combat engineer come to realize that love conquers all, and that being covered in writhing, slime coated tentacles can have a positive side too.

Japanese pornography enthusiasts would likely agree.

Um yeah, what do you think all the 'internet research' entailed? :P
