Pikmin 4: Lost Colony

Pikmin 4: Lost Colony is a concept idea for Pikmin 4 by Zipmin. Lost Colony would feature returning features such as dungeons (caves), as well as new features like "Nighttime" a special scenario that occurs when you fail to make it to the Ship before Sunset. As I do not have ton of time on my hands I will only update the game in brief spurts as time permits. Expect updates twice a week.

Plot

Intro

"It's been over a decade since anyone visited PNF-404" Appears in blue letters on a black screen, not unlike the opening of a Star Wars film. The screen fades to reveal an character that looks like Olimar but with more hair and nearly identical suit (that has yellow patches and a yellow light, instead of red patches and a red light) with a backpack lying on the ground. It is raining at night and you can hear a strange call of an animal in the background. He wakes confused and scared exclaiming: "Huh? What happened? Where am I? Where's my ship?" He begins to hyperventilate but calms himself down saying: "Calm down Sage, now what happened?" A flashback of him and three other characters in a junky looking bridge turning around to find something like a gun pointed at them. They are shoved into a ship resembling the Ship's pod from Hey Pikmin! with an autopilot on with a view of a planet outside the window and the pod shoots off, rocketing towards the planet below. "Asmir! When I get my hands on him I'm gonna... Wait, we above PNF-404 weren't we? OH CRAP! Just my luck I get marooned on the same planet Dad crashed on!" If you can't tell by now this Olimar's son Sagittarius, now an adult with a ship of his own. (Who for ease for me and the reader will be referred to as "Sage") "Huh? where'd I get this backpack?" Sage takes it off and looks inside. "A Koppad, rations, a medical kit, and Hotendo Super Antenna. That's good, I can create a distress signal." All of his dialogue is displayed on the bottom of the screen Pikmin 3 style. (All further text in or out of cut scenes is displayed the same way.) "I should probably find some shelter," Sage says looking up. "...Of course it's night and no one has been on PNF-404 when it is because of nocturnal predators." Sage gulps. Now the game changes out of cut scene mode and you can walk around, you walk down a small path to the shore of a large pond with a stream running into it. You look around only to discover a Orange Bulborb and a dwarf version staring at you hungrily. Sage shouts "YIPES" and you run away from the Bulborbs up another path to some trees where you spot some light coming from a hole in the bottom of a flower pot on it's side, you run in and enter a small cave made of tree roots and the flower pot occupied by two glowing mushrooms and a trio of odd stems in the ground. The full size bulborb cannot reach you because of the flower pot, but the dwarf can, Sage is corned by it and reaches for the stem, quoting Spongebob "Stay back! I'm warning ya!" A c
