Writing a shitty video game story need advice

[ramcel]

It's obviously do or die time for me now and I needa story to make a game so I was thinking of all the terrible game stories I have in mind. Obviously my life was never perfect and a story didn't just land on my butthole so it's time I get creative to circumvent that. I was thinking of throwing a hodgepodge idea vat of solo leveling, isekai, classic indie game tropes in and calling it a day but since I enjoy submarines and aircraft imma have to make this a bit more futuristic or modern. So how about we just make a video game where the protagonist is trying to colonize an evil alien planet they land in and then go wow this place is really tough, then right as the action scene gets us in the action and the landing we see a big ole money shot of all these landing craft. The protagonist is a manifestation in my eyes of the perfect colonizer, he's a northern aryan colorless schmut who has to claim his kills. He goes in and just snipes and murders every alien he can find. Then all of a sudden woo wee he finds a big alien and loses everything. When he comes to there's nothing and everyone is dead. And he goes to try and find salvation but they all pull out. This is a metaphor for the abandonment of society and the darkest hour. Now, he must survive. But during this entire time he gets ptsd and starts hallucinating the past starts hallucinating why he came to the planet damning the recruitment advertisements. But then the visions block his way as he's fighting the aliens on there. All of a sudden he can't distinguish between reality and fantasy, just seeing the old quartermaster telling him to keep going and that we're gonna go over to the planet. Then he starts hallucinating the aliens they are coming after his ass and the faces of the people he's abandoned whilst searching for a way out. Finally, he realizes the planet there's on is in a civil war and he gets to join the aliens in exchange for his cooperation. The aliens cure his hallucinations with some antipsychotics and tell him to keep fighting in exchange for a ticket home. He has no choice. All of a sudden in the middle of the bloodbath, an artificial rogue intelligence goes berserk and starts killing people on both sides and they have to agree to a truce to just kill it off. But in reality it's just a conspiracy nut piloting it and programming them to this shit and he's really a distraction from the real threat which is the king of the aliens the big guy who's planning to use mind control to end the civil war. Then the humans send a declaration of war and come back in. The mc gets the opportunity to escape but realizes that the aliens are better for his psychotic illness, he knows he cannot trust humans again or see them so he chooses to live with them. The aliens are a metaphor for the downtrodden devastated populations. So then the final battle begins and the mind controlled aliens and king alien fight off the humans whilst the mc just tries to survive but he realizes he doesn't want to just survive and he wants to end all the suffering or die, also realizing that he is powerful enough to do so because he took his drugs and now understands his body better so he goes to the king's side and assassinates him becoming the new king and has to fight off the humans in a final last stand. He must face his demons and with the PTSD powering him he devastates their ranks using mind controlled units and the humans upon realizing what he has done ask that he give himself up and the planet for colonization. But he's done with that and he just uses the forbidden power of mind control and ESP and a nearby dyson sphere to send the planet trajectory off galaxy and saves the aliens. This is a metaphor for escaping the ptsd and wage cage and rat race. Finally the alien rebels thank the hero and he lives happily ever after.
This story was completely out of my dickhole thank you for reading this trash. I may now die.

okay bro first of all your base story gets a little too confusing maybe because you typed a lil too much and you could have at least spaced some things out so this doesn't look like such a huge wall of text because I think my brain sperged out on me and I missed a line or two.


I'll give you a simpler plot based off a dream I had after watching some shitty free movie when I was sick. Essentially make your protag some kind of specialized cyborg attack unit, or at least some genetically modified fucktard with a cool suit of armor.


lets say that the human forces are trying to take over this planet that belongs to an evil alien federation, and your protag is sent to this planet to do his badass shit like he's fucking master chief or something. BAM you can make him some cool Aryan if you want.


some event happens in the game and the aliens who are against what the alien federation is doing save the protag and an alien scientist heals the protag and maybe makes him more of a badass (you could even potentially add some kind of skill tree and maybe the alien scientist could make cool weapons for you)


protag kills the alien king and maybe even destroys whatever mind control device that could have been controlling the aliens or whatever making them evil. Now here's a plot twist, what if another race of aliens is controlling the humans? and like the protag then has to save the human race from this other race of aliens.

Unfortunately I'm not a young good looking chad with a jb stalker and I have no otaku friend willing to gamedev max with me. I'm probably an aged Yamazaki in all honesty.
