The actual plot.

This is a great idea for a game. However, we can't just go dicking around, making a game, without a strong plot. The world's most successful games - Halo, Call of Duty, Metroid, Battletoads, just to name a few - they all had a strong plot. They also had strong characters, and good character development. So, with the knowledge that we need a good story, let's start from the ground, and work our way up.

What do we want to be the setting, in the most general sense? I myself think humanity in a time of futuristic planet colonization is a good one. Another great one - and a good excuse for psychosis - is dystopia, preferably during a revolution or other war.

Another thing we need to get out of the way before we get to the details is: HOW do we offend? Not that we don't know how, but this is just a brainstorming session. Also, key groups that we need to offend. Here are a few, just to start out:
-Jews. Swastikas and general antisemitism.
-Fundi Christians. Satan, Jesus' penis, Bible burning.
-Black people. The word "nigger," killing black people (LOL I just remembered Resident Evil and all the nigger zombies in S.A.)
-Muslims. Jesus/Mohammad sex. LOL DOUBLE SCORE.

I like the idea of it being an impoverished world with huge crimes. It should be rather futuristic, but not in the sense of having everything be pristine, but in the sense of having everything overrun. There should be a good story to go with how your character (name, plawks?) got to be where she is. There should be loads of semi-dead children, crying and starved. There should be really big buildings (yanno, it's the future, why the hell not), but they should be falling apart, or in some cases completely fallen down destroying countless houses. This is just an idea, but it might be cool if something like this was implemented.

<Prologue>
In the year 2020, mankind starts colonizing space. In 2023 we have a small colony on the moon. Some guy somewhere on Earth perfects a new energy production method in 2024, and now everyone has near-infinite power. By 2027 we have a fair-sized colony on Mars. However, since that colony has no water except what's shipped from Earth, it becomes an economic stress. A war breaks out on Earth between the U.S. and China in 2030. The U.S., which runs most of the colony, decides to cut it off, because the U.S. is more important than Mars right now. Those who are skilled enough are chosen to be evacuated. However, that's not very many, as there are few ships. Of course, those who aren't chosen rebel, and fight. One of the rebels is a botanist named Jack Walmsley (who the player controls). He fights because he has a wife, and a baby on the way. He destroys the shuttles and everyone is stuck on Mars, with supplies destined to run out. Desperate, those who weren't killed in the explosion start to move away from the hopelessly damaged buildings in search of hope. Jack and his wife wait for them to be gone, and then they go into their bomb shelter, where they have 40 years worth of food and water.
</Prologue>
<Intro>
Shauna wakes up, blinks a few times, and looks around. She is in her room in the bomb shelter. She looks out of the small window, and sees the orange sky. Well, it's time to get up, she thinks to herself. She gets out of bed, and walks to the door. Her parents aren't in the living room, like usual. Whatever, she goes and gets a glass of water. While she's in the "kitchen," her mother comes from the outside. She takes her helmet off, and tells Shauna that there are men outside from Earth, that magical place she's always heard about. They put on their helmets and go outside. The men tell them that the survivors from the ruined colony found an ancient uninhabited alien city in the side of a mountain, and were able to alert the Earth to the existence of this place, along with the fact that Jack, Mary and Shauna were still at the colonial ruins.
</Intro>
<Main - Tutorial>
Shauna is on a truck going to the marksmanship camp on top of Tallek mountain, the mountain housing the alien city.
"Niggers. Fucking niggers. Niggers and criminals. Those fuckwads on Earth, they think they can just send their trash here? Look at this place. It's beautiful. A technological marvel. The walls are made of materials we can't even identify, and they send these people here to dirty it up," are the general thoughts going through Shauna's head. She would like to kill them all. But no, her parents would never do anything like that, she thinks. At least, her mother wouldn't. She hasn't seen her father since she was twelve, on the Mars Streaker airplane. He said he had to go away. He said he'd be back. He never came back. Now she's 17... Almost 18, she reminds herself. She had asked her mom what happened to her dad, but her mom said she'd rather not talk about it.
She gets to the camp, and goes to bed. (In a dream):
"Hey, bitch," the black kid shouts, "Take off your clothes!"
"What the fuck did you say to me?" Shauna asks, angrily.
"Take off your fucking clothes!" He asserts. He walks closer, looking like he's planning something. Shauna looks around for something to use, picks up a sharp rock, runs toward him, and stabs him in he stomach. Hard. He screams. Shauna laughs as he staggers backward, blood pouring on to the floor, and falls to the ground. People, all round, are laughing at her. The black kid is laughing too, as he dies. She wakes up, and is embarrassed as she realizes that people are chuckling at her. She had fallen out of her bunk, and on to the floor. The Staff Sergeant helps her up, shouts at the kids for laughing, tells them all they have to go to the range, and they walk out the door, to a room a couple rooms over, and into the range. He tells them to each go pick up a rifle, and walk to a free space, and aim the gun down range (similar to CoD MW). She looks around and sees there is a black kid to her left. The Sergeant starts talking, explaining how to fire, telling you to shoot at the targets.
"Hey, take off your clothes, Shauna," someone to her left says. She looks to her left. The black kid looks at her and makes a small, "Sup" kinda movement.
"I said, take off your clothes!" he says when she looks away. She looks at him again, and says,
"Fuck you, asshole!" The kid looks perplexed, then says again,
"Take off your god damn clothes."
"Shoot him." says the Sergeant. You aim, and fire. Different things happen depending on where you shoot him. You look around, and everyone is staring at you. They start laughing, and the Sergeant walks toward you, looking angry, and laughing, too. You kill the sergeant, and proceed to shoot all the helpless kids who don't think to reach for their guns. You walk outside, and three people are running toward you with their guns out, but you kill them too. Then you run, like the game tells you to. Not to the barracks, no, that's too predictable. Not to the mess hall, either, there's nothing useful there. You run into the library, and watch as several people run to the range with their guns out. Then you proceed to the armory, where a voice tells you to choose a rifle, a side arm and a knife from the weapons list. Then the voice tells you you have to leave, before somebody finds you, so you run to the vehicle lot.
</Main - Tutorial>

It's a start. I'll draw what I think some stuff will look like, too. The next level, I think, should be outside the base, trying to get back to the main city. Here should be more of the things that desu mentioned, and I think Shauna should find out that her father was imprisoned for destroying the shuttles. She should visit her father, break him out, and they should be partners on their killing rampage, which should eventually take them to the launch facility, where they steal a shuttle, then board a warship, kill everyone aboard, and take the ship to Earth, because Earth keeps sending their shit to Mars. They start an insurgency on Mars, because people want Earth to stop sending them the poor, the sick, and the criminals. Earthlings realize that black people are sent away so much because whites are the master race, etc... It's a start.

I was thinking of a crazy terrorist woman with physic powers destroying modern day New York.

You should have soldiers manning a squad automatic weapon at a food riot. At one point your buddy and voice of reason says, "They're just hungry man, don't shoot!" But then you have to or your die and start the level over. You seriously MOW into these people, and at one point stuff a grenade in a load of bread and throw it to them. They swarm on it and are blown to BITS!
