=======================================
!Windstille Story, Script and Gameplay!
=======================================

Starting the game:
------------------

On startup the game should present its logo (Windstille), a short list
of credits and copyright, combined by some fade-overs and light
effects, after that it should fade over to the main menu.


Main Menu:
----------

The main menu should offer the user different save-slots from which he
can select one, a exit button and an option menu. A bonus would be the
function to rewatch cutscenes and dialog via a special menu.


Option Menu:
------------

The option menu should allow to tweak the standard meta-game
options, volume, fullscreen/window mode, language, controlls
(important!) and such. The option menu should be available from inside
the game as well.


Save game Slots:
----------------

Saving will be based on slots, not files, when the user enters an
empty slot a new game starts, if he enters a non-empty slot the game
will continue at the last save-point. Saving will be mostly automatic.


New Game:
---------

Once the user starts a new game a scrolling text which gives a general
introduction about the backstory of the game is presented:

"Its the year 2248[1], after mankind has developed faster-then-light
travel they have begun colonizing other planets and building up
industries on other planets in the search for usefull good, one could
call it a second gold rush. Some say mankind has spread faster then
good for them, others hail the technological progress. Some colonies
have become quickly abandoned after no worthy goods have shown up on a
planet, other flourish at the same time and some struggle for their
survival. This story takes place on one of the struggeling colonies,
resources are rare and goods are seldom, the people struggle for their
survival. We are going to tell the story of Jane[2], a Mercenary on
planet X-Gamma-5..."

(text runs out and the game fades over to the apartment of Jane, where
Jane is just taking a shower)

(seconds later her communicator starts to ring)

(Jane dresses up and leaves the shower to take the call)

Boss[4]: "Hi Jane, looks like there is a new job coming up."

Jane: "Cool, whats it about?"

Boss: "Can't give you details at the moment, but Bob[5] at Jimbos[6]
bar will fill you in, but hurry we might not be the only one
interested in that job."

Jane: "Ok, on my way."

(Jane grabs her jaked and leaves her apartment and goes to Jimbos bar,
just a few screens away)

Jane: "Hi, Bob. I heard you have a job for me?"

Bob: "Hi, Jane. Yep, looks like one of our mineral-hunters got into
throuble. He moved deep into the nothern forest and got trapped, we
got the emergency call half an hour ago, but nobody of our guys seems
to be much motivated to go there, to much mystic ghost story floating
around about that forest. 5'000 credits are in there for you if you
bring back our man alive."

Jane: "I'll take it, could really need a bit more money, long time no job."

Bob: "Ok, thats a deal, I'll mark the last position we have from him
on your map."

(Communicator call from Boss)

Boss: "Got the job?"

Jane: "Job, everything roger."

Boss: "Okey, lets meet on the roof, will be there in a minute."

Jane: "Ok"

(Jane goes to the roof and enters the spaceship, piloted by Boss)

(little cutscene that shows spaceship flying over to the northern
forest)

(Jane gets dropped at the forest)

Boss: "Ok Jane, this is as far as I can bring you, you have to make
the rest on your own. I'll stay in contact."

(Jane now goes hunting down the forest, shooting spiders and other
animals that cross the way)

(Final boss is a large spider into which net the mineral-hunter has
fallen)
