Making a motivation and info dump thread for my latest and greatest story, Seekers of the Imperial Seal. For those not in the Discord server or otherwise haven't heard me talk about it, this story is heavily inspired by the likes of Indiana Jones and Uncharted. Now, onto the story's official description!
Fill the eager shoes of rookie treasure hunter and thief Daniel Palmer, a would-be archeologist who has taken to traveling the world in search of the greatest lost treasures known to man. His latest adventure may be his greatest yet: finding the Heirloom Seal of the Realm, a jade seal passed down to the Emperors and Empresses of China before being lost in the 10th century. But with a rival treasure hunter backed by an army of Russian mercenaries on his tail, this latest adventure may turn out to be more than he bargained for!
I'll post in this thread with tidbits about my progress in the story. Planning on there being four chapters; the first, The Amber Room, will be the shortest of the three chapters that make up the bulk of the game and is more of a prologue, detailing the protagonist's discovery of the titular Amber Room and being more akin to the introduction scenes from the first three Indiana Jones films detailing a separate adventure detached from the main plot. The second, Hunt For The Seal, will make up the bulk of the story and be about tracking down clues to the Imperial Seal's location. The third chapter (the title of which is a major spoiler) will involve the protagonist and his allies finally uncovering the Seal. And last but not least, the last chapter will simply be an Epilogue.
Expect me to turn on Sneak Preview once the Amber Room chapter is finished, essentially letting people read that chapter as a demo. Once players reach the end of that chapter, there won't be any links to continue. When the majority of the story is written I'll end up turning sneak preview off in order to proofread it.
Anyhow, that's all for now.
