"Long ago, in a world far different from ours. The evolution of mankind grew stagnant, and for centuries the only thing the world saw was the rise and fall of kingdoms, arrows flying and swords clashing.
Till one day a rupture in the sky tore through the world, opening to another realm, one of power and technology nobody thought possible. However, the creatures inside this realm didn't feel like sitting around, and walked out of the rupture. Attacking the entire world as a whole, and with no united power the monsters were unstoppable.
Finally, a group of kings and lords came together. Forming a new alliance to defend and defeat the monsters of the magical realm. Working together to close the rupture once and for all.
They succeeded, closing the monster's gate and creating a new government around the unity of the world. Even while they all saw the horrors of this realm, the power they saw from the rupture was still a tempting gain. No normal man could enter this realm though, but this new unified realm sought to find a way to reap the spoils of the magical world they glimpsed into.

One day they found their answer, in a young boy and girl. "

The game I am thinking of will only be known as Project Oracle for the time being, but that little tidbit up there is a small bite of the story I will be trying to create with this game.

It will be a linear, story focused game where you play a character who can enter a world where the greatest powers mankind has ever known rests. With the goal of gaining all the knowledge of the realm possible and returning to help bring mankind to further glory. It will have basic combat, puzzle solving and boss battles inspired from games like Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and The Legend of Zelda. With a goal of telling the story of a young man venturing forth into the unknown.

Again, like I said. For a while this will be a side project that will help me learn a lot about game development and design. While still being simplistic enough for a small game designer to develop. How far I will go with this game I am unsure but we will see.

So, what do you all think? Would you play a game like this?

This isn't a game

This is just words

Reminds me of Zelda's Link to the Past thing, in a good way me thinks. I like it.

I gotta play that. I was pretty much on a Wind Waker binge...watch binge on Youtube...over the week so I got some ideas from it. Plus looking at Majora's Mask and Ocarina really helped.

Idk what type of art style would be good. Definitely something simplistic though.

Testing it out soon.

Almost all inspirations for this game have simplistic art styles. Definitely would work.
