Hey guys! Guess what? It's Christmas, so it's time to start giving, to me, so that I can give to you. To help me learn Python I want to create a DOS box text adventure, but I'm not sure what theme to do or how to do, I can implement the code easily enough, but I'm not sure about a skill system, game mechanics, setting, story, or characters. Give me that and if I like it I'll try to make it into a real game. I know it's asking a lot for you to make even a simple design document, but I'd appreciate it, and besides, once it's done I can let you play it. :D

Here's some useful things I'd like:
1. Story:
a.Setting (Back story and how the setting changes as the story continues.)
b.Plot (What actually happens?)
c.Characters (Don't forget the player too!)
2. Game Mechanics:
a.Skill and Attribute System (You need to explain how the multipliers and such work.)
b.Game Play (What does the player do? Fight, hack, fire guns, etc. How does it work?)
3. Anything relevant

Remember, these are rough guidelines, you don't need to follow them, but try to use them when applicable.

(Also by posting you're surrendering your exclusive rights to the idea, so don't put down anything you want to have copyrighted, and if by some minuscule chance I actually release it as an Indie game the most I can guarantee is putting you as a co-creator. Of course most of this stuff is irrelevant since it's unlikely I'll ever be able to publish it. Just trying to tie up lose ends. :/ )
