dont want to be mean... just wanna help....
girls are girls.. no matter how nerdy they are... they want something to (brag/proud) about to their friends...something to remember....but a game...meh.... she would like it for sure but its still... umm... not something she would tell every friend she has...
just imagine her talking about How you proposed to her in front of all your wedding guest...
people wont understand how sweet it is... she would love it but peoples reaction or comments would destroy her...
its too small for a big ...event?... add more stuff... like a date after the game... dont propose in-game... propose with a ring, in a nice place, in a date or something...
just saying...
EDIT: Turn ur game into reality....
after making her play... try to do it in real life... like "Treasure Hunt"
and when she opens it... BAM! a fcking ring... lol
...she wants to have SC2 themed wedding cake topers...so, I think that might raise some questions too.
Look, I do plan on proposing in person. I will take her out, wine and dine her, and then go back to our newly renovated office and use the game as a trigger...a gift...a way for me to present all of our experiences together in a fun way; through some story telling and some co-op game play.
Thank you for taking the time to respond and the treasure hunt thing is a fun idea, but I am quiet undeterred from executing this ploy.
Eheh, it's certainly a lot less work to pick an existing map and modify the storyline or ending ( many civilians doing the happy dance with fireworks and such? :) ).
What about you pick an existing map and ask the author if the changes you want can be made?
You know, I've been looking around for an existing map, and I can't seem to find one that really fits my intentions. I don't know, this just seems to be one of those situations where it might be easier to make from scratch.
WTF chick is going to sit through a shitty custom map RPG just to pop the damned question?
As for this, I plan on having a ring in real life. I also plan to be playing the map while sitting right next to her, the map will be a 2 player experience. Near the end of the story, I want to have a dialog come up that "pauses" the story while I ACTUALLY propose to her, looking into her eyes, and having what I want to say prepared in advance.
I know this whole thing is a bit different than the normal, but what I have in mind I know will be right up her alley.
I'm posting over here on Malpheus' recommendation. He has claimed that you guys rock.
I am planning on asking my girlfriend to marry me soon. Things have been going really swell between the two of us and I believe we are finally getting to that point in our relationship "for the next step."
Being that we both play SC2 pretty heavily with our free time and love watching tournaments on the weekends, I thought that this would be an excellent medium to propose through. I was thinking of a single player small map that takes a hero unit through an RPG of sorts with some scripted events, where you have to fight zerg/zombies, and that somehow ends with you finding a ring that promises happiness and love and all that good stuff. I will write up better specifics when we enter discussions.
I tried my hand at doing this on my own, but I really want this to be perfect. I would like someone with some experience under their belt.
Expect there to be some major sappiness involved through all this. Also expect a good deal of cold hard cash to be involved!

Wow, thanks for the super fast replies guys. I appreciate your suggestions.
First off, this isn't something that needs to be done ASAP. A few months is ok by me. I'd rather have it done right rather than done hastily.
That said, modifying an existing game actually makes a great deal of sense. Does anyone have any recommended games that I might want to look at?
