Gods Don't Compromise

[TheManlyFairy 51]

This is a pretty big moment for me. I'm as new as it gets to game making and this is the first time I'm putting something up for display. Right now the game is extremely short but still has a bit of replayability value. This is because you can see how your choice affects the behavior of Ballins towards other characters and how this chosen path affects the other main character, Lisa.

 

Abstract Idea: This game will test your morals under the guise of an old-school epic adventure to bring peace.

Genre: RPG, Fantasy, Adventure (hoping to add modern / steampunk to the world later on)

Demo Time:Expected to be around 20-30 mins. Twice that if you replay and try the one other choice.

Current Progress: Out of planned five chapters in the game, I guess you could say this is 95% of the first one.

Recruitment: Anything, really. I'm a one man show right now so I could use all the help I can get.

 

 

The Plot

The player controls Ballins, an ordinary human with no special powers, god-given gifts or legendary skills. Yet, he plays a major part in deciding the fates of many lives and the fate of the world. This is because he finds himself traveling the reincarnations of light and darkness. As they traverse the world, trying to bring bring balance by solving one problem at a time, they find out that lifes' problems are not so black and white. With the two incarnates always disagreeing, Ballins must try and make the right choice, even if it doesn't always seem right at first. There is no middle ground here, and the path you take will affect you, your companions, bystanders and more.

 

Meet The Crew

Ballins

This brash young boy is the son of a sheep farmer mother and a deceased father. Every day he tends to the sheep with his mother and spends his afternoons playing games with his friends. He's a bit of a thickheaded fellow that dreams of one day becoming a powerful warrior and is always getting in weird antics around the village like trying to catch birds in his bare hands or trying to do backflips off tree trunks, all for the sake of showing off skills he doesn't posses. These failures don't deter him and he's always energetic and giving it his all at everything.

 

Lisa

This girl is far from cute and innocent. A childhood friend of Ballins, she has quite the tomboy attitude and usually gets the last say among the village kids. With the combination of her rough attitude and Ballins being pretty ignorant, it's hard for her to speak her mind and admit she has kind of a crush on Ballins. Even when she had the courage to admit she will (not wants, but will) marry Ballins, it sounded like a declaration of war rather than a confession, so he brushed it off as a joke. One day, during a game of hide and seek, Lisa was caught in a situation which led to her discovering something amazing about herself. How she behaves during this discovery is decided by your choice in the game.

 

Elder Bailey

The village elder & mayor, he is the maternal grandfather and guardian of Lisa, raising her after her mother died during childbirth. The elder is a bit over-dramatic at times and likes to make things a bigger deal than they ever should be, though he does this only to entertain the children. Every so often he gathers the children in his study and reads them a story from his collection of books. Despite his loving and easy-going attitude, this old man has deeper and darker knowledge than anybody in the village knows. Well, almost anybody.

 

Anna

Charming, graceful and regal by birth, Anna is the princess of Arbor and heir to the throne. As a princess, Anna lived a life of absolute luxury and while she does not hate that fact, her heart yearns for more. She feels too distant from her own people and believes as their future leader should learn of their troubles in person. She is undoubtedly a strict and noble presences who commands obedience, sometimes without realizing it herself, but means well at heart. One day, upon meeting with Ballins and Lisa, she felt something stir inside her. Something ancient from long ago, like a sort of connection she can't explain. At that moment she declared she is leaving the palace to join the two villagers on travels, leaving an entire kingdom in shock.
