Hi all,
Okay! First of all, this is not my first journal and I ignored my last journal completely (The game was scratched completely). I hope I finish this game as expected.
Storyline:Disclaimer:
1. English isn't my first language. I ain't an author in my first language itself. So the storyline may not be written in a proper novelist manner but I hope the story would still impress you.
2. The story may seem like a Platformer, but it's not. It's a puzzle based game. It was not our war! But we had to become a part of it!
It was the dark age for the lovely people of Zybtonia. Their Arch rival Naginians have been recruiting for long and it's time for them to conquer the Zybtonian empire.
Before they could even realize what's happening, the Kings, Queens & heirs of the thrones of the Zybtonian empire were assassinated. The majority of Zybtonia civilization were sentenced to death by the heartless Naginians. Only a handful of Zybtonians were left alive to become the slaves of Naginians and to serve them. These alive Zymbozians were split and imprisoned in the many different Space Stations.
But the kind hearted yet brave people never lost hope. They knew that Zybtonia will once again become their home. They knew that Naginians will once again be kicked out from their home. Those Zybtonians who escaped from Naginians, traveled far across galaxies to look for help.
One of them found hope in a small blue beautiful planet called Earth.Unaware of what was happening far away in our universe, a mad scientist was designing a robot which is good in analyzing patterns. But is that all the legend about the bot? Not at all! It is capable of something that doesn't isn't possible by anybody or anything else in the Universe. Whenever it is destroyed, it is capable of traveling back in time and be born a day before it was destroyed (Edge Of Tomorrow effect).
The escaped Zybtonians knew that Earthlings are also kind hearted people. (Yes, we will spoil our own planet but help others. ) They can also see the potential of the Robot as it can travel through time and win the mighty 'death' itself.
The Zybtonians named the bot, 'Savior' and took it with them to rescue the captured fellow beings. The Zybtonians were aware of all characteristics of the 'Savior' but one. (What is it incapable of? It'll be discussed shortly). When they identified that the Savior is incapable of that one 'particular' thing, they needed an help of an Earthling. They need a master for the Savior who must guide it.
Be the master. Help Savior to save the Zybtonians and regain what's rightfully theirs. Be the real Savior of Zybtonians.
Did I forget to mention the cunning Cuticus? The cunning Naginian would do anything for money. Even betraying their own people if you pay him. You may get his help to rescue Zybtonians by paying a huge price.
Actually it isn't that huge. The currency Converter between HND (Heartless Naginian Dollar) & USD would make it very less fee for you. Confused how you would pay the guy who is in Zybtonia? Don't worry. Visa / Mastercard are recently established in Zybtonia and you could pay via iAP.
(P.S: In case anybody really enjoyed the story despite my poor writing skill and want to know more, please watch this space
)
Budget Planned:=> 150 USD Maximum for Graphic assets (I'm short on money since I had to recruit that cunning Cuticus paying a lumpsum money. ) I'll be glad if someone good in art could work with me in a profit share basis. If not, 150 USD is the maximum.
=> 50.00 USD Max for a promo cartoon for the intro story. Not completely animated cartoons but illustration of wars / Zybtonians traveling through space / Scientist working on the Bot / etc... / And a voiceover narrating the entire story you read above. I have a good friend who is very good in hand painting and know people in editing industry who could do these things at cheaper to no price for me.
=> Music / Free. I have sources for music as well. But budget may exceed much than expected here.
=> Promotion. Not yet planned.
Deadline For Release:Planned to release within 3 months (March 10). A prototype of the game is ready with 3 puzzle levels. I'll share it once I have much more puzzles.
