I have this gta2 style game idea. I've got a few parts of the story made and the beginning scene... but there is where I'm stuck. If you'd like to see what I've got so far and think you can continue the flow then by all mean PLEASE reach out to me here or my email... outerspacegamesco@gmail.com

Here is a fast rundown; (will show the whole thing after you decide you want in)

Man names TK is washed up on a beach of a city on a island. TK wakes the next more to and stumbles into an apartment complex where he meets the owner (who is in shady work). The owner hears his story then offers a room and a job opportunity the next morning. Then the title plays with the theme music then you play the game.

Like I said it's like a gta2 style game

Thank you for taking the time to read

I think you need to give some kind of goal to the player, no need to reference to GTA2 nor any game, just pick a long time goal to reach for player.

My suggestion is this: TK wakes up in a shady apartment and is immediately greeted by the landlord. He claims that he has treated his injuries and allowed TK to stay in his place for some time. He demands TK to pay up for his services. Not having any money to pay, TK is offered shady work by the landlord.

The first works would be tutorial for player to get used to the game. Despite that, player must complete them to pay TK's debt. After debt is paid, landlord informs player that he has more work to offer but also another person who could offer work like him. This is where player can choose what and where to go next.

That's from me for now.

love it, and love you can come up with this. If you have time I can email the story I have thud far, including the goals, few Mission ideas, properties you can own, the plot idea. I only put a quick draft to catch people's attention.

I could only help adding couple things to your story. Maybe others could help your better. But you still need to mention the goal of player to give general idea on how story should be.
