Now, you may be thinking “Stock, since when do you write things?”, but I’m actually making all this for a game.
It’s been a joy coming up with all the stuff that could happen in the game, and I have somewhat of a vision in mind.
I might even show some gameplay mechanics when it’s actually developed to that degree.
Shown below is one of the bare-basic undressed and barely customized character models, or at least the current working version. Gives you a little idea of the visual style.
The face shape, among other things, are planned to have many options to pick from in any release version, for all kinds of players, including ones who would stray from the cutesy looks.
For those who simply can’t stand the way these look at all, helmets will probably be provided near the beginning of the experience.
Onto a little bit of story.
We’ll start with the gods. There are as many gods as I need for gameplay purposes, so a specific number won’t be provided.
Although starting with gods may make me sound unoriginal in an AO space, these are conceptually much different to the gods that we’re familiar with in Arcane Odyssey.
The gods of this universe were created by the original god who existed at the very beginning, who has the working name Yaima. Yaima has a unique power, in that everything imbued with his power becomes a terrible evil. Despite having only power to create terrible things, he really just wants to make something pleasant.
Luckily for Yaima, one of the things he successfully created with his own power was benevolent planetary being that could grant any wish. He wished for more like him who could create things without immediately negative connotations.
From the wish was born the rest of the creator gods. One god could forge heat and light to bring a serenity, and thus was born the sun; one could create solid matter, like stone, and thus was born the land; one could create fluid, and the seas were born.
Most importantly, one god could bring willpower and sentience into living creatures. The world was perfectly balanced.
I’m going to cut it there, because that’s already a big dump. Besides, if nobody’s interested, why should I continue? Gotta find some interest first.
Don’t get too excited about any gameplay. Nothing is final yet, not even this story, and I’m probably not going to share any.
