Development Plan Update
Industry Research
This week, I have been doing quite a bit of research into what makes good games and when to use certain elements in certain genres. To fit my current project, "The Curse of Aetheris", I did most of my research about old styled JRPGs as my game is based around that traditional style. For story and narrative, I looked towards games such as Final Fantasy, Earthbound and Chrono Trigger. However, I also looked towards popular animes (Japanese Animations) for elements of story-arcs and character-arcs. I mainly looked towards animes such as Fullmetal Alchemist, Soul Eater and Attack on Titan. These animes were crucial in me deciding on story as it gave me a perspective on how characters change over time when something happens and how some things that happen being unavoidable.
From all of my research, I have been able to develop a basic plot idea. My current idea is having an ancient evil being reawaken and the main character being set a mission to stop the ancient evil by assembling chosen warriors and sealing the evil away for good. However I also plan for there t be a twist towards the end to make the characters and the players believe there to be something more going on than just 'Bad guy is bad and evil because that's what we've been told' and to have a sequel be about revealing the truth behind the smoke and shadows.
