Game is set from EARLY THURSDAY MORNING TO SATURDAY NIGHT.
Billy has travelled to see his 'friends' that live far away - he can't just go home after all of this unfolds.
The group went out for student night on Wednesday. He wakes up in the early hours of Thursday morning (5/6am?) with no recollection of the night before and has no clothes or his wallet. He finds his phone at the start of the game smashed up next to where he woke up.
Intro/First Scene
AI Character comes over to Billy immediately after waking up (Could prod him or something?). The player can't move at this point and is sat down, swaying from side to side as still intoxicated. Vision could be impaired etc etc.
Conversation using dialogue system occurs. Along the lines of 'I found you in the middle of the street last night all alone so I moved you to this side street, I found your phone lying next to you but it was all smashed up and hardly working'. Add a couple of inquisitions about what happened etc but AI won't know much.
Dialogue ends and AI walks away. Phone turns on and there is a message from 'Chad' - "Woah man what a crazy night! Don't know where you ended up, after you left we went to some mad after party, you should've been there man! I think I'm gunna need a few days to recover from this one, make sure that you're at The Club at 7pm Saturday night or else I'm posting a pretty funny video of you from last night on Barker 😈. See you there bro!"
Main Quest Explanation
You HAVE to get to that party on Saturday, but how are you going to get there with no clothes? No money? You need to get your act together and FAST! I was wearing my favourite shirt last night and I want to wear that again on Saturday... where could it be? Where can I go with no clothes on without getting arrested?
Item Collection
1st - Shirt
Unlocks small number of areas
Found in a place where you can go with no clothes on, as before this item is obtained you cannot enter anywhere civilised.
Quest Ideas
Swimming Pool - get your t-shirt back (And some extra money) from manager after doing a job to repay for breaking in there the night before. Alternatively could get a t-shirt from lost and found and find actual t-shirt elsewhere.
2nd - Trousers
Unlocks all areas
Found in one of the places
Quest Ideas
3rd - Shoes
Increases movement speed or sprint duration.
Quest Ideas
4th - Wallet
Unlocks The Club
Quest Ideas
Throughout - Money
You still need to purchase your ticket for the biggest Saturday night of your life.
Oops.
Money can be earnt throughout the game using various different mechanics, although we will probably only have time now to implement the buying and selling mechanism as a way of earning money (the busking idea would be awesome to implement as well as a litter picking solution where if you take rubbish to a recycling centre in town you get paid for each piece of rubbish) and earning rewards through quests.
HOWEVER
Similar to ticket sales in the real world, the longer you wait, the more you will have to pay. The ticket price will increase every day with a final, highly inflated price being available on the door. The Club will be open until 3am, but normal entry is allowed until 12. The longer you take to get in, the more (insert penalty for the player here). If it gets past 12 but the player manages to get in through alternative means, the penalty is much less as street cred will be earned from Billy's 'Friends'. You can also use your money to purchase drinks for people in The Club, which will also have a benefit to the player.
