A month since my latest journal entry?? This simply will not do.
I figured now would be a good time to reveal some details about one of the games I'm working on.
I've got two playable characters for this game, a boy and a girl. I've named the girl Dawn, but I haven't named the boy yet. I was considering naming him after one of the angels that helped God defeat Lucifer. No artwork of him exists yet.
Anyway, you choose which one you play as. Dawn has lower defenses, but she moves faster. The story begins with the hero arriving in Rosewood during a rainstorm, with their ship landing close to a warehouse where A is believed to reside. You're armed with an Energy Pistol with a Super Crystal installed. It takes out the enemies in one shot. After going through a few rooms, you encounter A. Attacking her does nothing, because she's protected by a barrier that makes her invincible. After a few attacks, she'll use her super move and knock you to the floor with minimal health. A then threatens you and leaves you for dead.
One week later.
You then see Alison, who tells you the backstory. She was tracking down 10 orbs that will help you weaken A if they're gathered together. She was in the middle of this when she vanished. Her friends found out, and tried to continue her work, but they're missing as well. She tasks you with finding her friends and collect the orbs.
You awaken in a hospital, with the nurse Sara Shepard watching over you, telling you how lucky you are to be alive. All the others who went after A were not so lucky. She directs you to th front, where the other hero is waiting for you. You get back your gun, but the crystal powering it is missing. As such, your weapon will be weaker.
At this point, the game becomes nonlinear. You can explore the dungeons in any order, defeat the boss, and collect the orbs. Four of them house Alison's friends, who will give you a crystal for your gun, which gives you a stronger weapon.
I'm not spoiling the ending, but depending on how many orbs you have, your rematch with A will be much easier. She's at her weakest if you got all 10, but as few as three will open up her dungeon.
Be warned, A will be very strong if you didn't collect enough orbs. And your ending might suck.
And yes, this game will be similar to the Zelda series.
