Howdy! First post on here and it's only been like... what, 7 months since... this website... was made... oh well. Better later then never, right? There's a lot of things I can talk about but I can't think of much at the moment; well, except for one thing I'm saving for Halloween because of the topics that would be discussed but in the meantime, something has been on my mind.
I think I want to make a video game one day. Er, well, two. They will be called Absolution and Absolution 2.
Ambitious? Yes. Realistic? Well, I mean, I'm sure I would struggle to commit to such a large project like that (plus I'm struggling to even code this website LMAO), considering how long it would take and the difficulty of such a task, but I believe there's a chance I can pull this off. It will be a struggle, but I think it would be unbelievably satisfying to even finish the first one. And, hey, even if there was a 0% chance I could, a man can dream, right?
But enough about if I'm even going to do it, what the hell would it even be like? What would it even be about?
Well, I suppose I should start off with what the gameplay would be like...
The game would be a 2.5D (I guess?) platformer inspired by games like VVVVVV, Cave Story (major inspiration), Kirby Triple Deluxe/Planet Robobot, and to a lesser extent, Yume Nikki, along with maybe a few others that aren't coming to my mind at the moment. It would feature some precise platforming, puzzles involving the foreground and background, as well as where the player character is standing, and you would have many weapons to choose from. You can flip your character's gravity as well, but you need to be careful when doing this because flying into the sky kills you. You can use a gun to fire at something in the background and foreground, whether it's part of a puzzle or an enemy attacking you from over there. Okay, I hope you get the VVVVVV/Cave Story/Kirby Triple Deluxe thing now... I know that was a lot! Oh yeah, and I guess Undertale would inspire the story a bit.
As for the story... well... I don't want to spoil too much, but the basic premise is that of a kingdom. A kingdom once peaceful, until one fateful day where the king suddenly changed for the worse after a horrible tragedy occurred... one that resulted in a civil war and horribly affected the lives of many in the two races ruling over the land, and in a significant extent, the King's family. After some years pass, a boy sets out to put a stop to the tyranny. Okay, I think that's all I should say. Again, I don't want to spoil it all here, but uh... if you really want to know more then one of the character's names is probably going to be Sarayu (meaning "wind") and another being Tarendra ("prince of stars"). There are some things with the story I have not worked out yet, though. I'm not really a professional writer or anything, and this would probably be the first major story I ever made for anything.
I already have ideas of what the characters will be like both design wise and personality wise, the settings of the levels, gameplay mechanics, a few enemy designs, as well as the bosses, and even how some of the songs might be like, as in what kind of style some songs will be.
But at the end of the day, all of what I just said was nothing more than concepts. I have no experience with game development yet, but I think this idea genuinely has some potential. Oh yeah, also, I'm planning to draw some character designs that I will put on my Deviantart page. I can't wait to see what some people think. With that being said, I think that does it for my first post on here. To whoever is reading this, thank you. I hope you enjoyed my stupid rambling about things that might not even happen. I'm aware few people probably read these, and that's alright, no one has to! It's all just for fun.
I'll see y'all on Halloween!
