Some Stupid Thing

nah... I forgot what I wanted to post here...

Practicing writing skills...

Sorry...



I apologize for being idle for about 6-12 month...

Anyway... the reason why I was idle is, obviously, playing video games...







There is this one particular game that I would like to play, 'tis called "The Last of Us".
Of course all of you have heard that game.

Reasons :
Many reviewers give perfect scores...
Very realistic actions, and outcomes
The story is great
Deep touching moments
PewDiePie played it...
Ellie's cute



But, unfortunately, I can't play it.

Reason :
It's only available in a ***************** PS3
I don't have a ****************** PS3






Luckily, I just got 3 other games
- Metro: Last Light
- The Sims 3
- Just Cause 2


Metro : Last Light is one awesome game. And I got both endings
But, when I play Just Cause 2, I feel bored (maybe the gameplay is very GTA-like. I don't really like GTA)

The Sims 3 is the reason why this post's title is written.







I made a female teenage sim, and I assign her to write novel. Why? because I think it would be cool if a teenager can write novels, especially best seller.


And that's why this one Idea came up.

I didn't just played video games while I was idle, I also tried to write novels.
Very ambitious, it is.







My novel is called "Escaping Earth" and I might want to publish it into 2 languages; Indonesian  (my own languages), and English.



I will give you some minor spoiler for my novels


The theme is an post-apocalyptic earth, while the surface of the completely overrun by zombies (or infected in my novel) infected with a substance known as The Virus, or Virus for short. The survivors are divided into two kinds; Immunes, those who came in contact with the virus, and somehow immune to Virus, and Escaped, those who never came in contact with Virus. While all the Escaped and Immunes has given up on finding the cure, one Immune that came from the surface told the main character (don't want to spoil detail here) that there are cure from the moon, Just as the Virus mutated, Infecting all of the Escaped airborne and bring intelligence back to the Infected. But as the Infected gain intelligence, some parts of their body vanished, or maybe consumed in cost of intelligence. In order to "fix" their body Infected began to consume all kind of life-forms, especially all Immunes. The main character have to find a way to cure this madness immediately, with low casualities, because the main character believe that "human" is still in everybody, including the Infected.




I planned this is going to be a trilogy, and added with one Prequel


My titles (chronologically timeline of the stories)

- Infecting Earth     (4th book)
- Escaping Earth     (1st book)
- Healing Earth       (2nd book)
- Destroying Earth (3rd book)






Additionally, I begining to think that my novel could be adapted to video game (like Metro: Last Light)

Like The Last of Us, I imagine it will be -very- Realistic
and like The Sims, you have to maintain the main character's energy, hunger, stamina, thirst, and bladder

I think it will divide into two mode
-Realistic mode
-Cinematic mode.



Realistic, of course it would be 1st person perspective (including all cinematics), scarce food and resources, multiples ending (depending on all of your actions), and (depending on all of your actions) different missions and outcomes in different playthrough

Cinematic, 3rd person perspective, more food and resources than the Realistic mode, and only one ending (your actions do not affect mission and outcomes, just the enemy's awareness)




Wish me luck then...
