They come from a lone past and use a special type of magic that most have never heard of. At the moment the game takes place, our main character is searching for an object to aid in their journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are set in a Victorian England inspired world. Our main character is exploring the outside market for information and supplies. By exploring, the player learns the setting and some background information. I want it to feel a little whimsy, playing off that historical context with a magical twist. This is the first time the main character has gone into the magical city and I want the player to experience a kind of shocking awe that the character would be feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our character has a magic staff that can interact with different objects and people in different ways. The player must use the magic skills of the character to solve puzzles that advance the gameplay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want the game to be more stylized and abstract with the visual elements, using bright solid colors with high light\/shadow contrast. The vibe should be more calming, with aspects of cozy games, while still being visually interesting. The use of Victorian England as a jumping off point for the setting creates an environment that players vaguely recognize while also being its own world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gameplay would be focused on puzzle\/adventure in a fantasy world. The main mechanics would be the use of the magic staff to manipulate objects in the world to solve the puzzles and advance the gameplay, with an overall objective of seeking out the mystery of the main character\u2019s history and cause of their different magic while learning more about themself and magic during the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Untitled-Project.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Untitled-Project-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Untitled-Project-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Untitled-Project-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Untitled-Project-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Untitled-Project-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Untitled-Project-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Untitled-Project-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Concept_.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Concept_.jpg 2160w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Concept_-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Concept_-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Concept_-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Concept_-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Concept_-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2024\/10\/Concept_-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2160px) 100vw, 2160px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The characters in this world are mages, and our main character is a young aspiring mage with a goal of self discovery.
