Every single day I wake up and think about the multitude of different projects that I would like to work on, and actually finish. For the last year I have been thinking to myself over and over again that I really need to work on this site. Well, I have at least gotten this far.
So you want to hear the basics of my game idea?
It is really quite simple…it has to be anything too complicated and I am likely to never actually finish it. I have taken influences from several different games and mechanic styles; 7h Sea, Burning Wheel, Mouse Guard, Octane, Spirit of the Century, Bliss Stage, and Houses of the Blooded. But, the main influence I have for this particular obsession is the setting. The thing that kept me up at night wondering what would be an interesting setting that combines all the elements I love. That is without becoming a horrible mixing pot of bizarre and non-sense ideas i.e. RIFTs. Instead, something that stayed true to a more feasible concept that could follow some sort of logic, at least from a story telling/fantasy perspective. Time and again I came back to one story; Avatar: the Last Air Bender. I have loved this story for years, but have always rejected it when it came to taking it seriously as a possible project. Yet, in analysis I find that being a fan boy is no worse than writing my own take on a Tolkien Fantasy Heart Breaker. So here I am, attempting to psyche myself up to take these stack of mad scribbling accrued in the odd spare minutes of my dreaded nine to five, and attempt to filter out all the intended pieces to create what I have been envisioning for the last few months.
More to follow very soon…….
