Hey guys, VesperiaX here with a indie game I'm working on. I'm working out some out some of the parts of the story, characters, and game-play. However, I'm the only one working on this, so this won't be out soon or at all if I don't pick up the pace with this
First let me explain the settings, the events take place years into the future, sometime around the 2200s. The population has dropped due to little fresh water, food, and other supplies. But this has not effected everyone, only areas of great poverty and poorly cared for soils. Certain places take water from the ocean and convert it into fresh water to live on. Early in the years a new type of technology has been made, this tech is know as Psi-Gates, which allow people to go into one another's thoughts and explore he/she or even animal minds. Strange sittings have been accruing with these though, people say to say monsters in their minds, even being attacked by them, however this news hasn't gone public so people are unaware that something out there wishes to harm them. These monsters are known as Rune Poison, once they take over the body... they can do almost anything, secretly live the person's life, spy on other people, and even change the DNA structure in ways people haven't seen yet, and when you're taken over, you are then a Rune Slave, forever lost.
The characters are an interesting bunch, not just because they have a good backstory, but what they're based on. Take a few for example, one of them is a musician that even though music media of today is slowly dying, he still tries to make his original and sounding great. Another is based around the idea of forgiveness, this characters is full of hatred and is always willing the pull the trigger on people, even allies, but after an encounter with the one person they wanted to kill, they can't do it. Lastly one of the them is based on redemption, this character... well lets just say he/she fucked up quite a bit, but is still willing to stop whatever is causing the Rune Poison and who's behind all of everything.
The game play is split into two sections, survival-horror and RPG. The real world isn't to be taken lightly, there are moments where everything wants to kill you, however most of the time this is where most of the story will go on. Then there are the Psi-Gates world, these are places were death will come, but you are given the chance to fight back. The Psi-Gate restricts you quite a bit, fighting loosens the restraints and allows for more endurance and abilities. Abilities are shown in 3 levels, normal, super, and hyper nova (Examples: Fire, Volcanic, Phoenix; Dragon, Draco, Ryu; Frost, Glacier, Sub-Zero)... So yeah, in this world you are going up against beings that can rival gods, yes, they are that powerful!
At the moment I'm still trying to figure out the art style to use, if anyone has any ideas please share them with me. So once I get somethings worked out before I release a demo (Two chapters out most for the demo I think?).
