1. Introduction
Elevator pitch
Me, Myself, and My Enemy (or alternatively,MMME)is a time hopping action/adventure chronicling the exploits of a disturbed scientist, hell bent on changing the past to create a better future for himself, using time travel devices and time altering devices of his own design. His plans seem to be working in his favor, until his plans are disrupted by the only person who could stop him. His younger self, who secretly stumbles upon his future self placing a time altering device in the basement of his childhood home. Knowing that the reality unfolding before his eyes is wrong, he slips into the time portal as his future self exits, before it closes and he is changed forever like his reality.
 
Abstract
MMME is an action/adventure game that a pits a young man against the evil intents of his future self who has created devices that alters the reality of that time, tageting moments in time that will change life as we know it forever.Our hero must enter each level set in a different time periods, search for the device using stealth tactics and weapons and tools if necessary, solve puzzles to undo the time altering damage done by his future self and unlock the distorted reality device, restoring the flow of reality to normal, then time jumping to the next period in time, following the trail of his future self, hoping to catch up with him and stop his future self before it is too late and his future becomes “true” history.

i was trying to use George's template.

see, i figure, the man from the future will "assume" positions of power by "inventing"(selling inventions that he will claim as his own, and amassing a fortune in that time)using his money as a position of power. keep in mind our hero entered the time portal after his future self, so there would be time for his future self to change a reality and continue his schemes.

I don't know if this is the right place for this. But to follow Blink's example which I like by the way. Here is my attempt at a game Idea following George's outline.

Then it finds you confronted by a yet unknown primitive life form that you must befriend or attack at your parole. Meanwhile back on Earth the multinational resources corporation you work for has been sold to the dark factions on Earth that arose out of the last major war for finance, order and control. They have sent a quote rescue ship to save you. But, a short time after they arrive you find your sole remaining crewmate brutally murdered. You must use the merger surveying and collecting equipment to make weapons find food and air supplies to keep yourself alive and escape your tormentors and worn what’s left of a civilized Earth.

The Dark Faction knows all to well about the primitives and plans on enslaving them if possible to extract the resources of Mars to support their crumbling empire.

- Real ethical dilemmas not situational.




I’m tired now so I hope there are no mistakes.

Thank you for these unique ideas, guys. It's good to see that you are following my template, but it's not mandatory to do it.
I am working at an ideea myself; don't expect to see anything spectacular, though

This is rather exciting, i hope my idea wins,lol.

I don't want to spoil the fun, but a design document should cover complete lists of the graphical assets etc. as well, as you can see in the design document template of the last AUM.
Maybe, it is sufficient to make a design document of a prototype with complete lists and a schedule first. The example in AUM is more of a prototype than a full game, anyway.

i saw that, but i need more time to compile something like this. i can write a great storyline, even do some great storyboards, but truthfully, if i am goingto do all that i will need more time, and a new scanner to upload pictures(my scanner broke,lol). i hope the idea itself would give everyone a general idea.
