Paying the Bionic Dues...

On the lower east side of Mega Metal City, past the rusted rails of the Skyward Bridge, out beyond the grass and dirt lots and salvage yards over looking the river where the barges ply their heaps of coal north, Bilt Tough, a once was Golden Glover is trying to make a come back.

Dreaming of keeping 13 year old Kielly in piano lessons and ballet, out of trouble and drugs, he's trying to trade in on a middle class mediocre life.

So he runs up and down the river road with tires over his shoulders, and lifts Chevy's from the back-ends til he can't see straight. Then gets some sleep and goes to work in the early pre-dawn hours when the lights of the river road are still bright and the salvage yards are silhouettes painted on the darkness to load train cars full of nondescript pallets covered over with lengths of rolled brown paper.

If Bilt is going to have even a sliver of a chance, you're going to have to train him with over 72 different traits, from stamina perks and over-weight, to lithe and quick as a tiger to go up against over a hundred other fighters trying for the same magic ring, the same smell of success and money, with the same desperation in their breath.

A strategic story title from Arcen games that wraps the tired hands with rolls of cotton and wipes at the bleeding cut over the eyes and gives you a chance to step back into the ring after ten years of going to fat, to try and make something of yourself and give your little girl a chance... If you can pull it all together one last time.

And make it count.

Coming this Fall...

Hope it didn't put anyone off... I just saw the Dues part and I thought, you know... that reminds me of... and i just sorta spun a little tale, silly maybe and way, way off track, but still fun to think about...  :)

I wonder if I ever made a game like that if anyone would even think about playing it?  :)  Naw, I gotta stop thinking like that.  :)

:)   Ya know if you set that to the right music...? You could really have something there.  :)
(jazz horns and Aretha singing slow.... as the piano barely makes a dent on the laundromat heavy air...)
Oh my!

I actually thought of bionic dues as something more like Bionic Commando, except that your mission is to make as much money as possible... and your equipment uses energy that is automatically paid for with the money you have. So like, if you grapple and swing, you have to pay money each time.
Hey, you never know.

player character to player as character dangles on the tie rope along the side of the moutain waiting for the player to finish the mini game to get some more cash for a rope extension so the character can go on with the game.

"You know... I hope you don't do this when i run out of bullets with the bad guys in the middle of a firefight."

Ooh yeah, there could be minigames, but I was imagining just floating cash.
