Let's Write a Video Game

Vin and Dun: Adventures of Slackers in space
Video game one: The Princess and the Rebels

Vin and Dun are your typical space slackers, cruising aimlessly around the galaxy smoking their space herbs, without a care in the world.

Then one day, after an Imperial Space Cruiser broadsides them, sending Vin’s vintage spacecraft into the ether. They decided to get a little revenge and pull a prank on the Imperial cruiser by pouring sugar into the space tank.

(level 1: Vin (or Dun) sneak through the cruiser avoiding security as they make their way to the engine room, where they dumb a pound of sugar into the tank, then make their escape, while security frantically hunts for them)

With their prank accomplished, the two sit back as they pull away from the cruiser, feeling rather proud of themselves. However, in the rear view, they can see a squad of Rebel ships appear and attack the cruiser. The two decide to book it before they are seen.

Clear of danger, the two sit back and enjoy their space herbs as they snack on some space potato chips found in the Cruiser's mess hall. When suddenly a massive Imperial Warship appears beside them, a small crane hand grabs Vin’s space ride and pulls it into the bey of the ship, where imperial guards arrest them.

They are brought before the Space Emperor, who yells at them, calling them pathetic losers and how their little prank caused his daughter, Princess Feona to be captured by the rebels. He then orders them to infiltrate the Rebel prison and rescue her.

The Pair are then dumped back into their space ride and shot out into space, where the auto piolet takes them to the pre-programmed destination.

They arrive in orbit of the planet Suldanis, and lad in the forest outside of the complex.

(Level 2: Vin (or Dun) must make their way through the forest, avoiding patrolling guards and the various fauna that seem to have it out for space slackers. Coming to the end, they talk out the guard leader and find a sewer entrance into the prison)

Of course, it would be a sewer, what game isn’t complete without the obligatory sewer level, everyone hates sewer levels. Who writes this crap…. I mean (clears throat) entering the sewers, Vin and Dun that the awful smell of poorly digested meals and toxic waste is the least of their troubles.

(Level 3: Vin (or Dun) make their way through the grimy, glowing green sewer, full of various vermin, blob mutants, and security bots. AT the end they must fight the King of the Blob Mutants and enter into the base)

Breaking out of the sewers, they find themselves in one of the various showers of the prison complex, making one wonder how many where shanked to death as they bent over to pick up that bar of soap.

(Level 4: Vin (or Dun) make their way through the prison complex avoiding or stunning patroling guards, destroying cameras and security bots. At the end they must fight the warden of the Prison Complex, complete with a personal power armor).

They find Princess Feona in her cell, chilling out as she waits to be rescued. So typical of Royal Princesses, always the damsels in distress, waiting for some hero to come to rescue them. I mean would it hurt for once to have a Princess rescue herself for a change. (clears throat) I mean with Feona rescued, they must now make their escape.


(Level 5: the Prison is now in full alert and every guard is looking for them. Making their way to the Prison’s shipyard, where they find the Warden waiting for them, this time using a mech walker, with full armament. Causing them to use the Prison turrets to take him out)

With the warden defeated, they make their escape in one of the rebel ships and make the jump into warp. At this point, Princess Feona scolds to the two for ruining her ship and getting her captured by the rebels. She explains that she has the location of the Rebel’s secret weapon that they plan to use to destroy the Imperial Homeworld. And forced them to help her destroy it, and by helping her, she means they do all the work.

They travel to the rebel base hidden on the planet Uldon and land on the outskirts of it.

(level 6: infiltrate the rebel base, and make their way to the core, where they fight the boss of the game, The Rebel Commander, who is a cyborg, then jumps into a massive mech, causing Vin and Dun to use turrets to take it out)

With the rebel commander defeated, they bomb the core and escape as the facility is destroyed along with the weapon. Vin and Dun celebrate, when suddenly the Imperial Destroy appears, taking off guard, they hear the click of a gun and raise their arms as the Princess holds a blaster to their heads.

The two are taken on board, where it is revealed the Princess had been using them to do her father’s bidding. The Emperor proudly pats his daughter’s shoulder as he mocks the pair that they helped wipe out the rebels and now nothing stands in their way of Galactic domination. Congrats morons, you just doomed the Galaxy. The Emperor then orders them thrown out into space. The two float about as Vin says “Dude, where’s my car,”


The End.
