Right now I’m trying to divide the two factions. In my game (as in most) there is good and evil.
Describe the benefits of being good and or being evil in the world. I’m trying to even them out.
Just post up anything and ill take it in as good research. ^,^ Thnx

my only question is what kind of units or character will you use?
elf? human/super human? dwarf? orc? devils? angels? mechas? mutants? aliens? sirens? undead? beast like human?

good:
most good side forces can use supportive magics so... go for the supportive magic or spells

evil:
eating their own allies and gaining extra power/ability (depends on what unit they consume) [since they are evil they don't care about their own allies]

I have an idea. Consider something more believable than good faction vs. bad faction. Put some more thought into faction motivation.

Good and evil is so over-rated.
Why not have the factions of Loli Vs Mature older women?

yeah... Good vs. Evil is terribly boring.
How about religious vs. not religious? Barbarians vs. "civilised" people? Tea drinkers vs. Coffee drinkers? Prostitutes vs. Cannibals? Midgets vs. Giants? Men vs. Women?

I'm ALWAYS nice. Well... except when I'm ebil. But I'm only ebil when I'm bored. Although... I'm bored all the time. Not that that's a problem is it? ;)

I think what they were getting at was having a conflict that actually means something instead of the standard, "We're good, you're evil, therefore we must fight...  Why? /shrug. You wanna take over the world! (Or) We've been fighting for so long we've forgotten why!"

Well... yes. But can't you see the POTENTIAL here? Any of them have great potential really... if you do it right.

It's much more interesting if every side is "evil".

KISS
Do a cute 2D platformer with plenty of humor.  Theme it after something popular, like that one half life inspired game.
Doujinshi are popular for a reason.  Pick up and play games are much more likely to spread via word of mouth.

Yup, most games have the good vs. evil angle, but good vs. evil faction seems a little too categorical.

Im mostly trying to get ideas to invent the world. Right now i imagine it to be a Fantasy type game.

So far we have 3 races.
-----------------------------------------------
Races-
Neko ppl (figuring out the name)
Humans(called Letalis)
Very Tall arched back Blind ppl(called Chronicler’s)
------------------------------------------------

Any ideas will help the story go along.

Cant say iam much of a fan of the alignment systems. The reason is simple, there are no good or evil. There is only cultures and ideals, and hypocrisy.

If you really want to split a game into factions, you need a good reason for it. I suggest adding deities, then you have a reason and a driving force.
Add virtues, enemies and friends to the gods.


How far along is this game anyways?

Well here is what we have so far for the game. It is a working progress and its still in editing so don't bash on it since it is an imperfect story so far.

Overall Story: In the beginning was the fall of the Old One. The Old One had created the new (one) in its death. As the new (one) had claimed to the Throne of Age, it soon found out that it had gained the power of Creation. During the ascension of the new (one) to the Throne, the old world had been destroyed by a cataclysm of shifting power, through its destruction came about the creation of the new world Revana. Revana was a blank canvas for the new (one) to create in its own vision. Through time he had created life to entertain itself, mere actors on a stage to perform to the new (ones) pleasing. As time passed the new (one) had also found out that the Throne draws so much power for it to be used it slowly scars age into the holder, so the new (one) had been scarred from its power. The now old one had bore replicas of itself over time to hold power over Revana for as the old (one) aged it had lost its power to keep dominion over the world. As the old one fades from existence, it called for the beginning of the new (one) to take the Throne. The old one with its last words of power made a binding pact to the Throne of Age. The binding pact made it so that one of the Old Ones children it had bore would have to fight for the Throne to claim it.

We have three factions, Order, Corruption, and Heathen.

There are two deity's who come out ontop of all others, both are equally matched and are in an epic struggle over Throne of Age

 -The names are a working progress.-

Order- The noble and brave people of the Order of Koros, a military faction of the Deity of good

Corruption- The chaotic and bold warriors of the Corruption of Seika, mostly unorganized and solo that cause havoc to both neutral and Order.

Heathen- The people of Revana who do not believe in either deity and refuse to use magic as they see it as outdated and turn to a new advancement of technology.

Americans like shooting Koreans in their games, not playing as Koreans.
