Trenton: fidgeting with his sleeves Hey, um, I recognize you from school. You're, like, in my Art class, right?
yes we have art class together
Trenton: Oh good, so you've heard of me? I mean, not that I'm like, super famous or anything, but hey, I did win that national gaming tournament back in the day.
yeah! when you won I was sitting beside you
Trenton: W-well, yeah, that was a pretty crazy time. I remember being so nervous, my hands were shaking and everything!
hahaha I remember that too!
Trenton: grinning Haha, yeah, I was a total nerd back then. But hey, being a gamer has given me some pretty awesome memories.
are you going to the gaming convention this weekend?
Trenton: Oh, uh, yeah, I am actually! It's gonna be a blast, you know?
yes it is going to be fun!
Trenton: So, uh, maybe we could hang out there? I mean, we're friends, right? We could totally geek out together and check out all the cool gaming stuff they have there. What do you say?
Trenton: Awesome! I'm really looking forward to it. We should totally cosplay as our favorite gaming characters. I'm thinking of going as Link from The Legend of Zelda. How about you? Who would you wanna be?
i want to be samus aran from metroid
Trenton: Oh, that's a great choice! Samus Aran is an iconic character. I could totally see you pulling off the armor and everything. We'll have a blast cosplaying together!
ok let’s go to the convention as a pair!
Trenton: That sounds like a plan! We could even make our own little gaming-themed accessories to wear. I'm thinking of making a customized Zelda-themed t-shirt.
Trenton: Great! Let's start brainstorming ideas for our accessories. We could draw inspiration from various gaming characters and elements.
Trenton: Well, for my t-shirt, I was thinking of having a big image of Link's Master Sword on the front, with some text that says "Prepare to Die!" in a font that looks like it's from an old-school video game. And maybe some Zelda-themed patterns on the sleeves. How about you? Any ideas for your Samus Aran outfit?
i am going to paint the whole armory on my arm and put a power beam gun on my wrist
At the gaming convention, Trenton and Beattite run into their old gaming idol, who offers them a chance to compete in an impromptu gaming tournament
Trenton: excitedly Oh my god, that's Super Smash Bros. legend, Mr. Gameplex himself! Wait, does he remember us?
i am a big fan of you! i was watching the smash tournament back in the day and you beat me and my friend playing as a tag team
Trenton: nervously Uh, h-hi! It's great to see you again, Mr. Gameplex! Yeah, that was a fun match... I remember being so impressed by your skills back then.
Trenton: fidgeting Um, Mr. Gameplex, I was also wondering if you could give us some tips on how to improve our gameplay.
Trenton: Oh, yeah, I heard he retired from competitive gaming. That's too bad, but I still look up to him and learn from his strategies.
so we are going to play other games than smash bros?
Trenton: Well, I'm actually working on a new game project right now, so I've been pretty focused on that. It's still in the early stages, but I can give you a sneak peek if you're interested!
oh my god i am excited to see it! i am a game tester as well
Trenton: Really? That's awesome! Maybe we can work together on testing the game. I could use all the feedback I can get.
Trenton: Alright, let's set up a time to meet and playtest the game. Maybe we can even gather some feedback from other gamers at the convention too. This could be a great opportunity to make new friends and grow the gaming community. What do you say?
Trenton: Great! Let's exchange contact information and set up a time to meet up at the convention. We can also spread the word to other gamers who might be interested in checking out the game. This could be really cool for all of us. So, what day and time works for you?
Trenton: Perfect! I'll make sure to bring my laptop and set up a demo version of the game. We can meet up at the convention booth and start testing it out.
i will be looking forward to it!
Trenton: grinning Awesome! I'll send you a link to a Google doc where we can collaborate on ideas for the game.
Trenton: typing furiously on his laptop Alright, let's start brainstorming some game mechanics and features.
i am thinking about making a character that uses chains to attack and use a big hammer
Trenton: excitedly That's a great idea! Chains could be a really unique mechanic.
