Hello, players and authors!
I’ve started a new game - “The Story of a Unicorn”.
Genre: fantasy adventure / slice of life.
At the beginning the unicorn happily spends his days doing whatever a lone unicorn in a forest might do. Sooner or later he discovers a threat to the forest and the main quest of his life begins.
This story is not suited for a typical adventurer attitude "give me quests to solve, butts to kick and chests to loot". Instead, you can get most of it by using imagination and empathy, trying to become one with the main character.
The game features a small open world with dynamic tracking of time. Many events and world changes are time-based. There is a limited time to save the forest. Many encounters are random or can happen only in a certain place and certain time, but the main storyline does not depend on luck.
The game may contain scenes of death. A slight romance is possible, but no sexual content. There is almost no combat.
To date, I thought-out a general storyline, made some scripting, sceneries and dialogs (not all of this is uploaded yet). It will probably take from months to a year to finish (if it will ever be finished).
I’m not a native English speaker, so it will require some proofreading. Maybe a co-author will help with additional ideas and side-stories. But it’s too early for that now.
Why unicorn? We live our lives each day as humans and even in games we are still humans (or at least humanoids). Not many games offer you a chance to be something else.
Right now I'd like to hear your opinions about that kind of story and how much you are interested in it. Its further development depends on your interest.
