Just as the title says.
I have been playing Bloodborne and The Witcher recently and got a bit inspired to make a game like that.
The main storyline is that monsters and humans are at a war. During the start humans where obliterated, until a group of 10 people that held abilities and reflexes beyond the normal human had stepped up.They called themselves Hunters. They use weapons that are a formed from the remains of a monster or demon.
After 20 years the group of people appered they had drove the monsters close to extinction. But even though they were almost extinct there were still hundreds of thousands. This was how immense they were. Even as strong as the Hunters were they still aged, so they each trained a apprentice to take over them. After 100 years the apprentices became a Hunter and took a apprentice of their own. They continued to do this until a certain Hunter by the name of Chael White had decided to open up a Academy to be able to train more then 1 at a time. This brought forward the age of NewBloods. There were hundreds of them and they flourished and slayed monster after monster.
Now after 20 years monsters are now dropped down to only thousands. However now the Hunters are nowhere as near as strong as the Originals and because of this many Hunters do die when faced with a monster or demon too strong.
Now there are still 4 monsters that they call āEldersā These are the very first monsters that hold unspeakable powers, but they are slumbering.
The main storyline takes place when 1 of the Elders awaken from itās slumber. There is currently no one that is able to defeat the power of an Elder, only a Original Hunter can, as they were the ones to drive them into their slumber. Chael White the founder of the academy one the only one with a chance to drive the Elder back into slumber has vanished.
Well that is the main storyline so far, of course I have more to tell but donāt want this to be to long. Iāll keep you guys updated with progress about it. Thanks for reading! Please leave some feedback!
I will be writing the storyline and choice options while my friend will be coding, so a demo might take a while sorry. Also Iām a bit preoccupied at the moment with exams and things so Iāll be spending about 1-2 hours on this game per day about, so progress will be a bit slow. Sorry for the trouble!
gotta change the name before publishing or Capcom ( I think thatās who owns the name) will sue your pants off. I think that the premise is a good idea though.
Kinda reminds me of the manga Claymore. 'Cept in that one you can hardly call the conflict between monsters and humans a warā¦ So, is it really a war like a World War, or is it more like The War on Drugs, or The War on Terror? Do the monsters have some organization and sentience or are they mindless killing machines? Are monsters all one species or are there distinct types?
@Hell_Satan Are you talking about that really bad movie called Van Helsing?
The anime isnāt ābetterāā¦ It follows the Manga pretty much exactly up until a point and then just ends. Itās like if theyād stopped making Harry Potter movies after number 3.
Hunters that are now trained in the academy donāt really have any special abilities (Canāt say the same for the MC) like flying, the force or things like that except for a bit of magicbut the Originals do have some special abilities. But for Hunters now a days instead they have better hearing, they trained their eyes to be able to see a lot better. You know the usual human enhancement.
When I first read the title I though of Hunter X Hunter which is a pretty great Anime/Manga and I think you can get some ideas about powers for the MC from it
For the title you could say something like, āPronoun; The Fall of the Eldersā or something dramatic like that, hehehe, anyway, the story sounds good and it looks like itāll make a good game.
Sorry about no updates! Very busy with Exams and some personal issues.
Quick update about Hunter PlayStyles and Classes. There will be 3 main classes:
Bladesmiths, Magicsmiths and Techsmiths.
They will all be divided into 3 subclasses. The class names will probably be changed.
A detailed post on the classes with be posted tomorrow aswell as the MCās role and backstory!
Also feedback would be amazing and if you have any suggestions for classes they would be greatly appreciated!
You would most likely focus all of your attention on one style, and only be able to do very little things with other styles. Although you can do something like a jack of all trades, which would be very difficult to play with, as you might have to have certain stats to win battles. Or you could focus on 2 styles and try to use that but you wouldnāt be as strong as in battles and might only have the bare minimal to be able to pull off a move. A lot of freedom will be given as to classes.
Also I had forgot to mention magic will be a bit hard to obtain.
Later post today will explain everything
