In Search of Wonder Story Notes

I’ve been developing an Art Style and related Storylines for over 20 years now. As far as World Building goes I have a very detailed series of journals where I’ve designed a fairly complex Universe of characters and character motivations. The main story I call “In Search of Wonder.”

Essentially the protagonist is on a kind of Hero’s Journey through Other Dimensions in search of  the Galactic Oracle. There are many such oracles throughout the game, but they are mostly only reflections of the main oracle. To find the oracle, and become it’s energy/information is the point. But this is not a simple task, and the task demands a lot of attention to detail and nuance. The main character meets other characters who are the guardians of specific domains or dimensions, and must interact with them to get what he’s after.  And each domain has a unique version of the Galactic Oracle.

 The other factor is that the game would have a lot of color. And very meaningful color as it represents the various qualities of experience that the players and characters in the game are having at any given moment. 

So, although the drawings, paintings, and writings that I’ve done so far have been for a graphic novel, I feel confident that it can be translated into a fun and intriguing game as well, where new concepts are discovered and fresh ideas introduced.
