First Post

Hello to any and all reading this post.  I have a bunch of things to say, so I'm going to prioritize.


First of all, this game won't start development for probably a few weeks to a month after this post (My computer's hard drive is busted and I need to get a new one), but I'll still be posting game idea updates until then.


Second of all, here's the run-down on the game:


The game is a platform-style side-view RPG. I haven't worked out all the story details yet, which is one of the things I'm open to suggestions about. 

The game revolves around you, a Traveler. You see, in the game world, there are five different dimensions all in the same space - Fire, ice, jungle, sky, and abyss. Each is very distinct - you can guess what they all look like.  You, a Traveler, can Pop from dimension to dimension at will, unlike others, who need to use portals to get from world to world.

The game will be highly customizable - I love RPGs. There will be tons of items, ability trees, magic spells, ways to take your character etc.  To start, you even select your character's build - large, medium, and small.  Big dudes are strong and slow, small ones are weak but fast and agile.

The singleplayer will be all about your journey from simple peasant to Traveler hero extraordinaire.  The storyline, which is not set in stone, will probably be along the lines of two warring dimensions (Probably fire and ice) distracting all the other dimensions with battle, and then the Abyss dimension starts taking over the jungle dimension and moving on until all but the Sky dimension has fallen.  You are born in the Sky dimension, raised as a farm boy, but are snatched by a man who begins to teach you the ways of the Traveler.  You then fight back a small force of Abyssian warriors who invaded the Sky dimension and it goes from there, as you take back each dimension one by one until you finally face the Abyss Master.


Remember:  I'm really very open to suggestions, so comment as you will with whatever you've got - as an indie developer, I've got nothing to do but whatever the heck I want!  :)
