Life of Wolves

My world is among the kingdom of Wolves. Being a Luna, I have to fight for the freedom of the land from the other Luna from the other kingdoms. My family loves peace, Harmony , Playfulness, hunting, running and family. My kingdom is located between he forests and the mountain. There are a lot of space to run around for quietness and to cool down. We enjoy all the seasons throughout the year.

Game Story

During the middle ages in china, there was this war ridden emperor who built a castle that is the size of a mountain. The Emperor rushed his people to build this castle which caused a rift. Everything was far from peaceful because of the unmet promises by the emperor. The people began to riot and cause a major uproar outside the emperor’s castle. The emperor dispatches his 3 lieutenants to bring the peace. During the commotion, some rebels use a secret entrance to kidnap the emperor’s children. All hell breaks loose when the emperor discovers this betrayal. The furious Emperor issues a bounty on all who is involved and once again dispatches his special lieutenants to  figure out who the culprit is.Out of the 3 lieutenants that work on this quandary, one is the Villain(slick and persuasive) , one is the Hero(highly respected and loyal), and one is the Rival(deceitful and intelligent) . It is up to the Hero to navigate through the thin evidence and evade traps that await him. Unfortunately, the Emperor has given his lieutenants 7 days to solve it or he will execute them for the inability to protect his children. The Rival can help or disrupt you and the villain will leave behind breadcrumbs of evidence. The hero navigates through the evidence and discovers the shocking truth. As the hero informs the emperor of this betrayal, the villain appears and it seems he has told the emperor that it is the hero who is the culprit. The emperor seeks the 3rd lieutenant’s(Rival) opinion. And depending on the choices made against the heroes rival he will either help you or have you killed for his benefit (bounty reward). To be continued…?

Building your World

Building Your World (from Slay the Dragon) (Here’s a Word doc of this.)

Think about the world of your potential game. Now answer these questions:

  1. What is the HISTORY of my world?
  2. What is the TECHNOLOGY or MAGIC (if any) of my world?
  3. Who are the INHABITANTS of my world?
  4. What is the CULTURE of my world?
  5. Are there any CLASS DISTINCTIONS? DIFFERENT RACES? What is the HIERARCHY?
  6. What do the inhabitants EAT? Do they HUNT?
  7. What is their RELIGION?
  8. What are the different COUNTRIES? CITIES?
  9. What are the LANGUAGES?
  10. What is the CURRENT SITUATION in my world? Is it a time of war? Peace? Fear? Calm?

How to Pitch

Preparing for your Presentation/Pitch (Here’s a link to a Word doc of this.)

Pitching a project is, frankly, terrifying. In the screenwriting world, we use what’s called a logline to help us organize and get started on the process of selling someone else on our story or project.  Here’s a template for creating a logline:

In [location and time/setting], X [character] is faced with Y [challenge/situation] and must do Z to resolve it.

For example, for the adventure game 80 Days, the logline might be:

“In a steampunk version of Victorian London, wealthy gentleman Phileas Fogg and his valet Passepartout decide to see if they can make it around the world in 80 days or less so they can win a bet… and prove it can be done.”

The beauty of the template is that it doesn’t have to be presented exactly like that. Here’s one for the film Jaws:

“When a Great White Shark terrorizes a small tourist town in New England, the mild-mannered sheriff Brody must team up with a scientist and a drunken fishing boat captain to stop it.”

EXERCISE: Use the template to create a logline to use when you start your Game Story pitch.

Components:

  • Location/setting:

 

 

 

  • Character Name plus a brief descriptive adjective or two to let us know a bit more about him/her:

 

 

 

  • Challenge/Situation:

 

  • the action/journey that needs to be accomplished:

 

Write your logline:
