Thanks guys. As much as i love oddworld will be noticable in this game. I am working on the story currently before i get into any artwork. In a few weeks ill start posting some of the backgrounds im designing. My problem, though, is whether or not i should actually use the oddworld mythos and the species and or characters that oddworld has already developed or to allow it to be heavily influenced and to use my own chacters and species. What r ur thoughts.
Heres a taste of what i got going:
The main character (the playable character) lives in a small vishing village in a river valley. One day he decides to leave the village (perhaps its tradition , a way of discovering one self) and begins to climb the cliff face out of the valley. Half way up, something terrible happens, the village is flooded under 30ft of water and everything he knew is gone. He has nothing left to do but finish climbing the cliff. When he reaches the precipice it is lined with forest which he enters
He begins walking through, there are bugs buzzing and other nuances of life, when decides he must rest to take in all that has ahppened. When he awakes it is nightime. I'm thinkign, there will be torhces that beckon him to continue and eventually lead him to a forest village.
Thoughts?
