god i hate those clickbait thumbnails and titles that say, "you're making this big mistake", "this is the number 1 mistake you're making!", "stop doing this now!". dude, youtube has helped me start this entire thing without the endless book buying and reading, and advanced questions can be asked in discords, forums, the docs and or ai(don't).
This is the censored version to comply with school policy and not get another admin down here for my manic writing style, all deaths are replaced with fadeouts, guns don't exist, the much more explicit themes of corporate and or goverment overreach and or isolation of people are not shown. tldr future lilly: North korean government approved version of thing. Anything in quotes("") is not what I wanted to say / write, and has been censored so I don't get flagged.
The story is being framed as a videogame plot design doc but is the actual story / writing of this.
tldr; there will be no game made of this.
so the actual lore of suburban knights is simple : the world top 100 most profitable companies (google, microsoft, tesla, adobe, oracle, general mills) formed a singular company with no person at the top but a table off 100 ceo's working their own departments, this company was named pensacola co for the fact that pensacola's happen near the sea and most of these companies were founded near the sea. Anyway, in some lab they made a reality manipulation machine and a disk (because formating) and due to the top ceo guy, jeff kenny being obsessed with another departments mmo game suburban knights, decided to put it in. This was fine in the room the reality machine was in, but a large device deactivated solar flare happened and caused the machine to go to another dimension between dimensions, between the real and the fake, the darkness and light, the end and the beginning. This caused the game to superimpose itself everywhere, which includes amity, washington. Named for its friendly atmosphere and its falls and the fact that some famous actress from some famous show called something something amity (bisexual witch romcom). This leads to YOU, living with Timothy and Max, your fathers.
So basically you are at school, you walk through the halls, overhearing people's utterly boring conversations and then you go home.
on the wood land path back to your home you "strife" or "have pg 13 rated combat" with a slime, befriending it.
you go home and immediately sleep due to friday being today.
in your dream you access the subworld (?????) subever, where you meet Milisia, some foxgirl who helps with difficulty settings(set to hard), then allows you to wake up.
you go down the hall and meet your father Timothy, he makes you eat breakfast (eggs) and then meet your dad, Max. he passes down his knowledge of this game and the entire goal of it(to stop the game), he also teaches more advanced combat(using items and or absconding, Max then gives you the chore of buying about 75000 cherries for something he's doing.
you begin to walk down the suburb, meeting various kids(Juniper: mechanic's daughter, Milo: sword guy, Welch: Jokester, Detroit:bullied as hell, very good defender) and the antagonist: "Michael Brian", who stops you and whoever you brought(depends on who's door you knocked on). who attempts to stop you from getting the cherries by throwing himself at you and (starting a lovely discussion between you and him that does not end in violence and leads with everyone being friendly.).
you enter the main plaza of the town and go to the vaguely defined gardening area. Once there you realize you don't have enough money to buy cherries so you need to do sidequests to get coins(not shekels). Once you , you bring them home without a fuss, albeit it odd since you're carrying a crate of cherries. When you enter your home, Max and Timothy congratulate you on doing the task and reward you with ice cream and cherries.
Sunday you get up, and go outside, due to Sunday being a church day, most children and adults are at church, in terms of "party" members, only Welch and Detroit are not at church and you decide to team with them for the day and attempt to fulfill the family goal of stopping the game. you (and party) decide you head into the forest behind the town or west (everamite maybe?) forest.
After about ten or so "scuffles"(with slimes, encounters with your pet and or other children) and or exploring the forest rooms with them till you find a rocky stone cliff-face, Detroit implies he could be thrown up there since he's small and used to be thrown against walls. Welch jokes about the grape plants even though we can't see them. You all quit till you and or anyone after 25:00 minutes can find or buy rope.
After 3:00 church is over, so Juniper and Milo can join the party again, bringing Milo reveals he can climb stone walls with (relative) ease and bringing Juniper reveals she has rope(a very long rope).
Someway up this stone wall it flattens into a stony plateau, you don't know why you're up here so you head back home.
school day starts, school day ends, not very interesting. You enter the forest marketplace re:set up by the town's children "Michael Brian" burns his house down and ends up in another house across town, you have no chance to change this.
Due to the aimless ness of your task, you decide to ask your fathers how or what you're supposed to do.
Max says something about deactivating a machine in some other reality.
Timothy says that there is no goal other than fun.
you exit your house.
and go to school and then go home. Within the afternoon time, you go get juniper and enter her house, mostly to find her, in which you discover she is at [catholic equivalent] church, praying with her family, by sneaking by the priests and asking her to build a working internet connection. You could also just wait an hour and 30 minutes.
Juniper attempts to make the internet, she fails, as you can't make the internet. She asks you to find a vacuum cleaner and a hose, you do, and she creates a proton sucker, allowing the reactivation of devices.
do that. use the proton sucker to suck every proton in existence (item makes things begin to float or reverse gravity, very, very slowly in a 10feet radius)
you enter the west everamite forest and enter the weekly setup village. You're bored. Some kids pick up your location and begin to attack you due to bigotry. it;s like 7 kds. and also an entire enemy faction called the grasshoppers of amity, who are basically shopkeeps who converted their customers to using real American 100% real fact checked dollars. They attack the village during your strife toward the group of nine kids.
the village is violently and valiantly defended but lost, and you abscond to your house. you gather Juniper, Milo, Welch and Detroit for another adventure to find out who did this horrible task and find out it’s Michel Brian’s faction after an obligatory tailing mission, the grasshoppers who picked an extreme approach to gaining more land by burning to down, the grasshoppers believe that we don’t need.
school day starts, school day ends
sjsjwjsjsjsjs oh yeah, you Detroit and Welch recruit a squirrel, sir nibbles for you as a prank gift, mostly from Welch, less from Detroit. Milo gets a stone sword from his mom as a gift for his birthday. Nothing else happens
at 12:00am, sometime while you are sleeping, you are pulled into subever for another settings check for milisia, she mumbles something about a machine, and or bubbles and or the pensacola company it;s really vague you know. anycase, settings set here are difficult, displaying the stats menu, volume settings, display settings (do you wish this to look like srb2?), the time of the room, and generally a class selection screen.
by default it goes to hard, no, 100%(music) 100%(effects) 100%(dialog), vsync on, aspect ration 4;3, fullscreen, no, melee.
and then you awaken again, in your bed, your fathers have left another note telling you to go on another fetch quest, something something, so there's a lycanthrope in the forest named millie who's technically your sister but she's stupidly unstable and violent without a large supply of melatonin, so while the quest is to get more cherries, it is also to find a bigger source of melatonin.
you leave your house, go to the mailbox and check it, finding a disk, and picking it up. which somewhat explains this… conundrum, or situation i guess..
in anycase, you either buy the cherries again with the leftover money from Saturday or you do more sidequests and buy the cherries. And then you gotta give all the cherries to the local science teacher sometime Thursday or Friday or any weekend day so he can extract the melatonin from the cherries and put it in liquid form.
you are then given a choice, give the liquid melatonin to your father and or millie directly OR go find an enchanter in the east everamite forest, a very scary and dangerous forest full of thorns and weeds and or such
your party faces the machine, the thing that started all this chaos, ripped your family apart and has been haunting you with this stupid game since a month ago. Milisia peers out from the machine. saying some vague villain stuff before facing you and starting a battle, a real one.
after a very very very tough amount of osu clicktime events, timing, pressing \edt and right mouse buttons, kicking, pressing p. Milisia is down, and juniper attempts to deactivate the machine, which she fails at, as she is a child, this is a big girl machine and the machine explodes and you face the true finale boss, president of the coca cola pencicola company, the monopoly guy, jeff kenny. He delivers a monologue about mmo’s video games, taking peoples money with deceptive practices, making anime waifus pretty to screw over women and men and to push AI to make the most generic games of the most profitable as possible. He charges up his lightning attack and switches dimensions to black hole zone from srb2. You fight against what is the living embodiment of a black hole, sacrificing yourself for the greater good.
and then getting spewed back out because the black hole is jeff kenny and he’s not a canibal, you wait for his death due to hawking radiation and you all reawaken back in Detroit, your parents are dead and suburban knights is gone, society is destroyed and generally you and your party if still alive, begin to walk home( or its remains
