Purgatory's Shadow: Help wanted
Plot
Purgatory's Shadow is an RPG based around the biblical rapture - when the worthy ascend to heaven and the unworthy descend to hell. I haven't decided on a time period/background yet but I'm thinking about going with a steampunk world (no guns or planes but mechanical weapons/machinery and airships) this means that there's no, "Why don't they just fly there or shoot the bad guy?". The story follows 3 childhood friends: Neito, Kona and Natari. After Natari's rich father is taken to hell by the Reapers leaving Natari (who was rich and spoilt by her father) to fear for her life. Neito and Kona decide to try and get Natari and themselves into heaven by going on a pilgrimage through purgatory. Eventually the plot will expand with new characters and challenges.
Cast
•
Neito: The protagonist.
•
Kona: Neito's childhood friend/older brother figure.
•
Natari: The love interest.
So far I have only really done their place in the story and names so I'm open to ideas. I want some characters with unique personalities but not too weird but also with a good backstory that links to the plot and can be developed on throughout the story. By the way I don't want just a farm boy or an ex-soldier unless it's really good.
Religious Aspects
Whilst the main plot is a biblical event, I am trying my best not to associate any of it with a certain religion (e.g. I am going to change the terms for heaven and hell and will be making many gods each with no connection to real life gods) because I don't want to offend anyone. I also want to make a new set of commandments made by the gods. I'm not religious myself but a game about the rapture sounds cool to me. I don't think it's been done before or successfully at least however if it has please tell me because I need to steer steer from it.
Other Points/Ideas
•
The Reapers: A group of fallen angels. Their job is to bring the unworthy down to hell and hunt those who are reluctant. They will each represent one of the commandments of which they have disobeyed.
•
Neito's a demigod?: I was thinking he could be the son of a god (a Demigod) explaining his importance to parts of the story. If I did implement it I would hide it from Neito and the player until later on when it becomes important.
• Plans Money Wise: So far this is going to be a free game but if it goes well we might be able to sell it to another company or put it on steam or something.
What I need
I am in early stages therefore I am not looking for any mappers or eventing. But I am looking for these:
(in order of importance)
•
A co-designer: Mainly to help me design more of the story and other ideas.
•
A Battle System: I want something unique therefore I need someone to help me come up with a battle system. Whether or not you have the skill to make it, I just need the plan first.
•
An artist/sprite artist: Whilst I am in early stages, it would be cool to plan and maybe get a few drafts on the characters.
•
A musician: Whilst I am learning to play piano I am at no point to start designing my own music. I need someone to make music with me.
•
Anyone: Even if you don't want a long term job any idea can help me and get you into the credits.
