Oh God how do I used this point and click editor I am very confused

 

So uh. Hi. I'm a huge dork. I like System Shock and Tyrian. Here're things I made or somesuch.

 

 

 

Demon-Slashing Metal Savior DAIKAISER - First Saga: HEAVEN-CRASHING BLACK STAR (not really, but you get the feeling)

STAGE 7 - "THE KINDNESS"

 

 

omg, maybe I'll do this later

 

OOC comments -

 

Well, this was unexpected. At first I tried to make a giant battleship, but instead I ended up with a horde of fast, small ships. I think I like this so I'll disregard my plan and post this anyways.

 

Qashmallim (which means "Electricity" or "Lightning" in a certain ancient language. The unit motto is "Lightning never strikes twice." Man I'm such a dork) is composed of 3 rapid fighters, 2 fast destroyers, 2 light battle cruisers and 5 defensive drones. I've made them in such a manner that they are unlikely to act in a uniform manner. Which means you'll have to pay attention to each and all of them if you don't want to be rammed or roasted. You'll be skewered and sliced, too. Not to mention generally shot at.

 

Compared to Ophanim down there, I think this is outrageously easy. Compared my shmup skills, I think Qashmallim is pretty damn challenging. I also think it's really fun. Please agree with me. :<

FINAL STAGE - "THE WISDOM"

 

 

May 12th, 0722 GMT, a private message from Sarah Abrahms:

 

No man can challenge God, and you think a machine such as you--a machine of plastic and copper--can challenge Him?! I will make everything right----I will make everything new.

 

May 17th, 0306 GMT, a transcription from Dr. Michela Florentino, Grand Academician for the Genevan Provisional Goverment:

 

This is it, Adam. When I first said to you that you will end this war, I didn't really mean it. Well, it looks like that's about to happen. Perhaps I should learn to be more careful with what I say? Hah.

 

Abrahms has fled our plane of reality after the destruction of U.S.S.C. Bush. She has taken refugee in my--and humanity's by logical extension--second greatest creation, Ophanim. The provisional government asks you to pursue her and put an end to her insanity. Fire has informed us that she plans to commit her final atrocity against the world (he implied that it may go beyond even that.)

 

Ophanim, classified as a Presidential Nonreal-Dimensional Defensive Formation (talk about military cheesiness), is located in, as the name implies, a nonreal dimension between the reality and the unreality. It is created with the intention of defending against both real and unreal threats, utilizing both real and unreal mechanics. In other words, it's somewhat like you, except less personable.

 

We highly doubt that Ophanim can possibly be destroyed. Which is why only you can accomplish this mission. Adam. You may be pretty dumb, but I am proud of you. When you come back, we'll have a beer and tell you what it is like to be human, as I've promised. Good luck, and God bless you, my child.

 

May 18th, 2214 GMT, a transcription from Generalissimo Longstone Choi, Commander-in-Chief for the Genevan Provisional Government:

 

Once again, I must speak on the behalf of the whole of humanity and show our thanks to you for your service. Without you, we would have destroyed ourselves wholesale already. But, as much as I wish you peace and rest, we have one more task that only you can undertake.

 

The former president of the United States and a traitor to humanity, Sarah Abrahms,  has fled to the Presidential Nonreal-Dimensional Defensive Formation "Ophanim" for the purpose of... something terrible. Correspondent Fire strongly recommends us that her plan be terminated immediately, else we may never see tomorrow again.

 

With the destruction of U.S.S.C. Bush, we have no other craft in possession that can withstand the pressure of a nonreal dimension. Though your craft may lack the firepower to compete with Bush or Ophanim, you have shown us that you are capable of achieving feats

that are logically impossible, have you not?

 

In 1200 GMT tomorrow, we will create a dimensional semi-fault near Pluto. It is of the utmost importance that you arrive on time. Not only would it be anticlimactic, we will not be able to keep the fault open for more than half a minute. We urge you to break your habit for at least once this time.

 

May 18th, 2240 GMT, A private message from Correspondent Fiery Eye, Speaking for Nod:

 

Sorrow to the world, for the brightest star in the glittering night sky has foolishly declared herself an enemy of Light Without End! Her spite, a forest fire in her soul, has consumed Sarai, and it attempts to conquer the world below from the very throne of the All-Bright!

 

I had hoped, that the sun-fire I gave her will bring a rising star of the dawn, but instead she had brought us terrible nuclear fire. I had hoped, that the lightning I gave her will activate a great evolution in her consciousness, but instead she ahd brought us an angry thunderstorm.

 

Adam, oh the golem-child of the Questioner of God, I will reveal to you a secret, a secret no holy man should know. I will reveal to you that there will be no world for tomorrow. Before, He cleansed this world with rain and rivers, but I fear that now He will destroy this world with fire and radiation.

 

I will reveal to you that you must not hate Sarai, for she is a mere servant of Light Without End. Through her, the endless light of God will shine, an endless nuclear light of purification.

 

Adam, oh Adam of Red Clay and Lightning. Stop Him.

 

May 19th, 1159 GMT, a private message from Michela:

 

Did it have to be you? I... I can't. Fire told me that you'll die. I can't let you die. I'd rather see the w*static*d die instead of you. I can't let you go. They can't take you away from me. Adam, you *static* go. I'll make you not go if I have to. I'll use the command code and make you listen to me. You *static* child, you have to listen to yo*static*ther. I can't wa*static* you di----

 

May 19th, 1200 GMT, a private message from Sarah Abrahms:

 

----I h*static* understood everything. Come with me.

 

Out-of-Character Comment -

 

The first of the series happens to be the final boss. How quaint. I have an idea for an Extra boss, though. Maybe I'll split that into Extra and Phantasm. But anyways.

 

This boss is -huge-. It will make your computer lag. Also, I think it is very hard and nearly impossible without a shield, but then again it would be possible if you are good at shmups unlike me.

Ophanim looks like a gian three-spoked wheel that spins around from time to time. It has a smashing of weapons that shoot directly and/or somewhat close to you, so you'll have to keep moving. Also, many parts of Ophanim are indestructible, so pay attention. There should be a multiplitude of methods in dealing with Ophanim, though in each playtesting I was stuck with only one method. I am not very creative. But anyways.

 

When I finish this series I'll most likely come back to the idea of Ophanim and remake it. Right now it doesn't look very impressive. It's got more size than style.

 

To do -

 

More reactivity. Make it use less parts. Increasing in Rank each time a part is destroyed would be real nice.
