Below is an exchange between me and ChatGPT to come up with a story for the Ploppy Escape game. I would still consider it as my idea but ChatGPT’s writing. Something like this would take hours and this tool help me speed up this part of the creation process by a lot.
I created a game with spirits called ploppy that are in different locations in San Francisco. The game is called ploppy escape. It is an augmented reality puzzle game, with virtual objects spawned on top of real world objects while playing. What are the reasons ploppy need to escape?
As the creator of the game “Ploppy Escape,” the reasons for the spirits (Ploppies) needing to escape are up to your imagination and the story you want to tell. Some possible reasons could be that the Ploppies are trapped or being held captive by an evil force, or they may be trying to return to their own realm. Another idea could be they are seeking freedom from some sort of curse or spell. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide what the story and premise of the game will be.
which reason will draw most curiosity ?
It is difficult to say which reason will draw the most curiosity as it depends on the audience and what themes and stories are popular at the time. However, a story that involves the Ploppies being trapped or held captive by an evil force, and the player has to help them escape, could be quite compelling as it taps into the innate human desire to help others and overcome adversity. Additionally, a story that involves the Ploppies trying to return to their own realm, and the player has to help them navigate a series of obstacles, could also be interesting as it creates a sense of mystery and a desire to uncover the truth.
the puzzle needs to be solved by exploring the space that ploppy is located, how can you tie that to helping them return to their own realm?
One way to tie the puzzle-solving element of the game to the Ploppies returning to their own realm is to make the puzzles themselves related to the idea of travel or navigation. For example, the puzzles could involve finding clues or objects that will help the Ploppies navigate their way back to their own realm. These clues or objects could be hidden in various locations around the real-world space where the Ploppy is located.
Another idea is to make the puzzles themselves a metaphor for the Ploppies’ journey home. For example, each puzzle could represent a different obstacle or challenge that the Ploppies must overcome in order to return to their own realm. And as the player solves each puzzle, it will be revealed more of the story and the reason why they are trapped and the need to return home.
Additionally, you could have the puzzles give some insight into the Ploppies’ backstory and culture, giving players a deeper understanding of the Ploppies and making the journey to help them return home more personal and meaningful.
They are trapped probably because human altered the space with manmade structure, can you add this to the story and rewrite?
Sure, here’s one possible way to incorporate the idea that the Ploppies are trapped because human altered the space with manmade structures into the story of “Ploppy Escape”:
The Ploppies are a peaceful spirit-like creatures that have lived in harmony with nature for centuries. They have their own realm, a mystical place that can only be accessed by passing through a portal located in different parts of the world. Unfortunately, the portal located in San Francisco has been sealed by human development and urbanization. As a result, the Ploppies are trapped in the city and unable to return home.
The player takes on the role of a Ploppy guide, tasked with helping the Ploppies escape the city and return to their own realm. To do this, the player must explore the city and solve a series of puzzles that will lead them to the location of the portal. However, the puzzles are not just a simple task, they are a metaphor for the challenges that the Ploppies have faced as a result of human development, such as pollution, destruction of natural habitats and more.
As the player solves each puzzle, they will discover more about the Ploppies’ backstory and culture, as well as the negative impact that human development has had on the natural world. With each clue found and each puzzle solved, the player will bring the Ploppies one step closer to their home and the player will learn how to protect the natural world.
By the end of the game, the player will have not only helped the Ploppies escape the city and return home, but also gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for the importance of preserving the natural world and how our actions can affect it.
