I have a story for you guys. not a true one though. its my original backstory for my dream game: Sun Gazed

An RPG where you seek happieness for the first time ever, and to do this, you must go find the sun. but, to do so, you must leave home, Forever.


Before it begins, i would like to clarify something:

Her name is entirely up to you. though i was thinking 'Emma' at the time and if you want you can go with that.

THE FULL IDEA OF THE GAME AND ALL THAT ARE FOUND AT THE END OF THE STORY!

There was a very important city that held great powers. But, a war broke out around the world. And the city was in danger. So, the king decided to bring all of the mages together, and together, they made a force-field that could protect them from all intruders. But, there were three flaws in the force-field… the first flaw is that it blocks their only source of magic, “The Sun.” The second flaw in the barrier, is that all of the happiness was sapped from the entire city. The third and final flaw is that the people inside the barrier can leave, but NEVER return. This lasted for 23 years, until one day, in one decision, one person changed the world forever. 

A 23 year old woman had dreamed of seeing the sun and feeling happy for the first time. So she left her homeland to venture out into the wilderness in search of the sun… 

The first obstacle on her journey was the new terrain she had to cross through. The Forest. She had only ever heard of this place, but she never imagined that she would be standing at the entrance to a brand new world herself. She decided to take out her notes that held her years of research and studies. The book said to take notice of her surroundings and use them as landmarks to give her an idea as to where she was. With her pocket knife in her hand, she made marks on the trees every few steps so she had a straight path back to the barrier. after several hours of just wandering through the deep forest, she saw it. The long stretch of field and plains ahead. She ran toward the open land and set up a small tent and started a fire as she was very tired and was lightly wounded from many thorned bushes from her long travel. 

As she woke up, most of the thorns that stuck in her body from the day before have fallen off. She sat up from her tent, started the small fire back up and put some food above the flames. She pulled the rest of the thorns from herself while the food was cooking.

THE BACKSTORY TO THIS BACKSTORY

it was for a school project a few years ago.

it was based off of my oldest dream game: Sun Gazed. i wanted to develop it like, 9 months ago when i gained some interest in actually getting up, and truly attempting game development, but found it as unrealistic for my skill level at the time.. i hope i can return to it in the future and make my dream game real one day.

i might cancel PlainTale or put it on a massive pause. People dont seem to care enough about it and if its not doing well and im not motivated by it right now i might unlist it either for good or a long while. unless people want it, im not working on it.

I kinda forgot how to be an engaging person while I was gone for a month straight. Though I did learn to make better scratch games by putting different engines like gaster blaster, soul, bounding box, engines etc. into one! So games will be higher quality

Phase 1 of True InkTale is complete and is realeased now. i may still have to fix a few bugs. the phase is mostly gaster blaster spam because i wanted to play around with that specific gaster blaster engine... yeah...

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

This is where the game stands with attacks and stuff. I forgot to upload the video last dev log but that was before adding stuff.

I added "Frisk Mode" which is just hard mode where you take double damage. It has a 10% chance to activate when starting.

Fun Fact: I made my first Undertale fan game… BEFORE I played Undertale for the first time. However, I did play the Bad Time Simulator, before I made SlipTale (which was my first Undertale fan game). I then LEFT the Undertale community, then I CAME BACK.

About my six phase inksans fight (True InkTale), well, ive released a very very early test build to see what people think about it. the art, music, and some code, are not mine. but overall the attacks and all are made by me.

A new quest celebrating Dead Pets Unleashed just entered your quest log!

Dead Pets Unleashed is a rock feminist adventure where you play as a demon named Gordy (the bassist of the punk band Dead Pets.)

Play the #DeadPetsDemo now: https://bit.ly/deadpetsgj

It took me a very long time to make all this work but i think it was worth it. i decided to add healing points because it became a literal nightmare to just get to an attack to playtest at this point.
