Hi everyone! In an effort to give you more content i figured i started a new type of post related to the stories and mechanics of future projects, when i still have nothing to show. I'm getting close to starting development for "Blessing of the Princess" but it will take a while before we can see gameplay or screenshots, so in the meantime i'm sharing a quick sketch showing what is planned to be the opening scene of the game.
The game is planned to start at a snowy forest, here Princess Alfie and her father the unnamed king are sharing a moment during a hunting trip made to spend more time together. They have conversations about the ongoing war and how it has affected them. They don't get the chance of doing this often due to their responsibilities, Alfie being a warrior princess needs to be on the battlefield quite often and the king needs to lead his nation.
Their kingdom has many traditions that originate from even more brutal times in the past, where most countries were just tribes of barbarians that killed and destroyed everything they saw. that's why princess Alfie is a brutal beauty, a delicate balance between a sofisticated and primal state is key in her design. As is tradition for girls, she needed to learn how to hunt for survival, now an experienced hunter she makes her father proud by gathering a great specimen for tonight's dinner.
In a cold night the first mission has princess Alfie hunting for wolves, here you will be able to get used to the controls, learn how to jump and fight. A few bikini warriors of your kingdom are here as well for protection, you can talk to them for additional tips and lore about the game.
The game will be a bit more cinematic, if you have played the last missions of ROAG you can tell that it is more cinematic as well with it's camera angles and changing focus during conversations. Here i'm trying to implement some cutscenes. We get to see the lonely wolf minding it's own business, when a sound startles it, as it looks to the bushes a striking half naked blonde princess in a jacko pose prepares for pursuit of the beast. We see the pursuit and as she's about to catch it we fade to white, then the scene with Alfie and the King takes place, hopefully a deep an interesting conversation takes place, we explain some lore and world bulding and then we cut to the title "The Blessing of the Princess" The first mission of the game is done.
Like this, i want to share a bit more of my plans for specific scenarios, they will sometimes be accompanied with quick sketches to give a better idea. I think this will help me planning the game and keeping track of my plans. You can also give some input on each scenario or lore exposition, maybe you think adding something could be hot, or make it more interesting, so feel free to give me suggestions.
Thank you for your support!
