This thread is going to be used for story ideas the game I'm currently working on in RMXP that for now is called Project Ogre (And will actually get a name unlike Project GRID, but that suits that game!), I'm about 20% done with the game now, although I'm going to be rewriting the story over the next couple of weeks/months/years, and hopefully get it all to fit together nicely.

The basic premise is that it's going to have both serious and light hearted tones, and based around either one or multiple ogres as the main character(s). At the moment I've only got one main character, but I'm thinking of adding an extra into the story who will be a companion of some kind, it may not even be another ogre either...

Another idea I'm thinking of is for the story itself, well currently, in a nutshell, here's what I've got so far, simplified ofcourse:

So you play as a big clumsy ogre, among an ogre tribe of some sort, and they've had to stop hunting for the summer and have it all stocked up for winter, however, your ogre, being the big dipshit (Probably kicked in the head by an ogre horse... lolwut) finds the food supply and eats it all (This is starting to sound like it's loosely based off Bugs Life, lol...) which obviously pisses off the other members of the tribe, and they banish him forever. From here, your ogre is trying to find a way back into the tribe.

It's not exactly going to be easy, since everywhere he goes for help, he feels like an outsider (Since everyone else is humans, but I've only done up to the first village so far) and people don't accept him (To be honest, a big dopey ogre wanting to be my friend? I'd rather not!), but where I'm wanting to rewrite a part of the story is here, instead of him doing it alone, he'll find another ogre who was banished from the tribe a long time ago, who set off on the same "quest" but gave up, or maybe a human will help him, I'm not 100% sure yet but either way I'm definitely considering the first one...

I'll add more to this later on, I'm just dumping what I have right now in here, so yeah, feel free to have a gander in and leave any ideas of your own or discuss mine, whatever floats your boat...

Does every one in your game speak a universal language?

Is a ogre not that bad of a thing in that universe that he
wasn't murdered on the spot for being an Ogre.

(Like most fantacy games.)

Is your Ogres - (Like Orcs in skyrim)

---------------------------------------------------------

Just a few questions... get a feel for the world.

They all speak a universal language, although ogre speak not very well, me has made us speak dumb dumb...

And they're not such a bad thing, I mean, there's not really any hate towards them, but they're generally disliked because they're just too big and clumsy in general anyway, and they're not exactly mixed in with the rest of civilisation, they'll live in swamps and forests and stuff, whereas humans will live in the cities and villages, even if they're near to each other, they tend to stay out of each others territories.

I'll probably end up explaining this somewhere in the game, but I'm going to write it into the story instead of just putting a character somewhere that tells you, lol.

Might want to read some Discworld if you haven't already, for inspiration. There's a sort of story arc following Detritus, an ogre who is part of the mostly human Watch.

Dawkins has also written a lot of things on the impact of finding something between a chimp and a human and how it would affect society, which might be interesting, as it raises questions about who counts as human and what rights they should have and so on. I know that's not quite the same, but idk, it's along those lines.
