Though you were trained from a young age to slay otherworldly beasts, you've always doubted that their existence amounted to much more than mere superstition. As a fairly accomplished musician, you've managed to break free of your family's legacy, and you have long since given up the hunt. As of recently, however, you've received an offer you simply couldn't pass up...]]> 2021-10-11 05:34:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806732382 dalecausey2395 https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806784476 A group of physicists have created the Aether Crystal, the result of years of research and hard work. It is worth nothing on its own, but in theory, it can be the catalyst of the single most influential event in human history - the discovery of magic. Whoever wields the Aether Crystal very well could have the fate of the world resting in the palm of their hand, and they would have you bear that responsibility. You will need to protect it from all manner of foes, supernatural or otherwise. Success is far from guaranteed, but you're frankly the only one suited for the job.]]> 2021-10-11 06:16:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806784476 dalecausey2395 https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806835133 The Aether Crystal reacts to the presence of aether, an energy that emanates from all beings capable of magic. Although there are traces of aether all over the world, your group has found an extremely high concentration of it along the coast of Brazil. You must find the source of this power, and use the Aether Crystal on it to usher in a new age of humanity.]]> 2021-10-11 06:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806835133 dalecausey2395 https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806913604 You will not be undertaking this mission alone. Not everything that is drawn to the Aether Crystal is your enemy. In fact, it might just bring in a friend or two.

Jason Umbra - capable monster hunter who only recently accepted the existence of them. The secrets passed down to him seem to work just as well as they did ages ago. Also, he's the guy you play as.

Dustin Strive - Physicist who has learned enough about aether to bend it to his will. He is living proof that humans are capable of magic in the presence of aether, and has all the best party tricks up his sleeve.

Maxxie Rose - Anthropologist who's led the group across the globe in search of a strong enough presence of aether. She's a fantastic navigator, and bold enough to bring a gun to a spellfight. Carries around a party-sized box of bonbons wherever she goes, for some reason. The focus of her research is the concept of sin, and she goes on completely unprompted tangents about it quite often.

Miles Faraday - An actual werewolf who seems to have been sleeping for centuries. He's been sleep-fishing for all that time. Before the Aether Crystal woke him up, he was singlehandedly feeding a city of birds who's culture revolved around him. Having been rendered some kind of bird-god since he was last awake, he's reluctant to leave them alone, but he feels obligated to watch over the Aether Crystal.]]> 2021-10-11 07:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806913604 dalecausey2395 https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806931685 I want this to be like a first chapter of a full game. Just a few hours of gameplay after introducing the mechanics. Within the game you will complete the laid out mission and introduce magic to the world, but not everything will have a satisfying conclusion. I will do my best to make sure everything that is there very fun, though.]]> 2021-10-11 07:43:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806931685 dalecausey2395 https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806939057 Me. I wouldn't think so much about it if it wasn't. I'd like to perfect it and add on top of it after this class to make it worth everyone's money and time, but creativity only blooms from being selfish.]]> 2021-10-11 07:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806939057 dalecausey2395 https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806954445 I would love to make it a turn-based RPG where you choose someone to go last and pressing ATTACK enables you to engage in action game-esque combat with the enemy, that's the idea I have in mind. That's probably too technical for me right now, though. I'll definitely start with it being a turn based RPG focused on exploration.]]> 2021-10-11 07:55:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dalecausey2395/apcnbzrykl57vqwe/wish/1806954445
