Some NPC (pretty important chap, but haven't decided on a real role for him) build a security system in his mansion, But by accident he activated it and can't enter his own house now. You, as the hero, are sent in to flip the switch, so he (and you) can access the house again. I hope you like it, or don't, I'd just like your honest opinions, please. Thanks

Hello, all. I'm Scarrlet of shatteredwind, and today I bring you an idea of mine that I've had for a little while now. The idea is for a game called RegeN, in which you play entirely solo, do not have any tag-along characters, and are completely independent. This post's purpose is to try and get feedback on what ideas I have so far for this game as well as to get some chatter going about what not to do and what to do. Any and all feedback is welcome, good or bad, praise or criticism, so here we go. The basic premise of Regent is something you may have heard before. You play a child of royalty that has been cast out of their kingdom by the King and Queen who have become corrupt with power. Sound familiar? Well, here's the twist: this game is not about exacting revenge upon the corrupted rulers, nor is it about retribution and reclaiming your kingdom. No, it goes much deeper than that. You see, this game is placed in a time period where magic is an almost entirely normal thing. But this magic isn't just levitation and rabbits in hats, no. This magic is the type of craft that could entirely drain a world of emotion and color within a single year if not stopped. This exact magic is what the King and queen possess. They had begun doing just this before you stepped up and attempted to stop them. You knew something was wrong, as this was a very sudden and irregular act upon their part. Upon your rebellion, they both paused simply to ridicule you and forsake you entirely. They knock you out and when you wake up again, you're outside a small town with nothing but peasant garb. The remainder of the game is spent playing on your own, traveling through an almost entirely freeroam world, trying to get back into the kingdom you were cast from and stop the spell from happening before it's too late to do so. I realize that this may sound like an idea done before, but there are a lot of things I'm wanting to implement into the game itself in order to make it more unique. A few of these features are a morality system, side-questing, custom weapon upgrading, custom inventory, class selections, and more. At the end of the game, your morality rate would affect the way that the ending played out. I don't wish to spoil too much about this, as I'd like to get some feedback on what I have down for it already first. I realize the amount of work that all of this would be, and I'm willing to put the time in to do it all and possibly even more. The entire world will be having its own custom lore in an attempt to deepen the entire story, and this lore will play into things whenever possible.
