Story

This week was centered around the story, I wrote up a very rough idea for the story and main ideas

We decided we wanted to make a futuristic first person shooter game set thousands of years into the future in a different galaxy. The main character you will play as is a humanoid alien, very thin and tall with a long torso and as this being you would be fighting against an enemy race. What you don't realise once you've arrived on this planet is that there are two factions, the smaller beings are actually trying to help you, providing you with ammunition and weapons. They hide and live in small tunnels. The actual enemy beings are almost gorilla like in stature, big and evil. Although the majority of the smaller race are helpful and friendly a small fraction of these small beings use the gorilla-like creatures as portable turrets/vehicles.

The setting of the game is a very large space ship, the humanoid alien has landed here and does not know where he is or what he is about to find. When he meets the first race of the unknown enemy, the player will not know that in fact these small beings are actually quite helpful to the player; they provide the correct arms for the main character to be able to properly defend himself against the larger enemies. You are in fact trying to save the smaller rebel faction. What you learn as you play more of the game is that the larger enemy race have in fact used the smaller race to make weapons etc. for them as they do not have the skills, they have enslaved some of the smaller beings to work with them and against you as the player. As they player you will have a heads-up display to show you the members or the percentage of the smaller race in the same area as you that are willing to help you by collecting weapons, manipulating objects and machinery as well as saving members of their same race that have been captured.

The start level of the game is you getting pulled onto an unknown spaceship, the reason for this is still undecided, you will initially have your own weapon but it is quite basic and one that you are not sure whether it will be able to do any damage in this unknown place but allows you to feel slightly more safe that you may be able to defend yourself. You see the small beings running around you, they are very quick and stealthy but don't seem to be threatening you, eventually you come face to face with an enemy being. We want to make the small beings to look more un-civilized and 'damaged' so they will be disfigured or scarred due to being tormented and used by the bigger enemy race.
