Fault: Re-engineered

Have a project in the works but not much media? How about an idea you are turning into a project? Maybe a game design document you want to start with. This is the place.

Fault: Re-engineered

Post by Last Known Hero »

A while ago I had an idea for a short film, and have been working on making it become a game instead. I am heavily into the whole fantasy theme, especially the Final Fantasy franchise.

I have realized as a one man team consisting of an artist I will NOT be making this an online game, strictly an RPG. But seeing as I am an artist, lets face it, all of the attention will be going to the art side of everything so that eventually I can get a programmer or two to jump on board to finish it up.

Before I start with the main character's 3d design I would like to ask you guys what you would prefer as a main characters abilities. I was thinking:

Super Strength, fights with his fists.
Dual Katana
Single large blade


Out of these what do you think would make an interesting main character?



The idea of the game is that the government was heavily invested into corporations and was working with main sectors to utilize the planets natural crystals, which provided a seemingly clean source of power. After time the use of the crystals started to tamper with the natural growth patterns and evolution of the beautiful world. When the governments invested so much into the corporations parts of the world were left in the past. The immediate areas of the super powers were far advanced in technology and other areas were left to survive on the land and from scraps they could manage to get from the booming cities. The government rebelled against the super powers because of the mutations taking place from the release of the crystal's energy but it was far too late, the corporation with the most power took lead in a mutiny. The super power started to invade cities to gain control of the situations and engaged in placements of soldiers and new creatures that they were secretly working on and testing for such a situation. Your character noticed that throughout the time of his childhood that he started to be able to do things differently, and when it came down to his family being killed he took it upon himself to take down the operation and bring the government back into power. His only friend wouldn't let him go alone.



That's just a rough template, wrote it as I let my mind go off on its own :) names and everything are still in progress

Sounds interesting :)

As far as the main character goes, I would say dual katana. Large swords are a bit played out, with FF7, Inuyasha and others, and just fists is a bit boring. Dual katanas never gets old ;)
