Title: Tarandel
Genre: 1st - 3rd person shooter/puzzle
Theme: Realistic/horror/educational
Platform: PC (for now)
- Quick Breakdown -
Main Character: Father Tarandel
Birthdate: Unknown
Organization/Religon: Unknown
Years of Service: Unknown
Note: Not too much is known about Father Tarandel. Keeping it vague allows for a wider "religious" demographic.
Premise: You are a priest on the East coast of the USA. You receive a frantic letter from the Vatican, (possibly some place else) "get here asap...do not delay." Upon arrival, you are informed that hell, (from all religions) is about to take over. Man & woman kind (HA!) have gone to far. The demons and evils are taking their places getting ready to make hell on Earth. You, Father Tarandel, are on a quest to travel around the globe, study different religions, thwart the unholy with relics, spells, and of course...some good ol' fashioned classics. This is all in the efforts to save the world, while learning about, and developing respect, for different religions.
Personal note: I've got some other stuff that I'll add to the post later...chow time.

I defiantly think it should be a 3rd person game. I think that would make puzzles easier to do/make.
ReplyDeleteIt's all sounding really cool. I do have one question, Is Father Tarandel special in anyway? Or did the Vatican, send a letter to every priest? I remember a quick comment about how the letter may not have been for him. I'm really just throwing questions out there. I know nothing has been set in stone yet.
I agree with the 3rd person too. Is there anyway to maybe combine both with the mouse scroll wheel or something? It would be like Oblivion which is pretty nifty. There are puzzles in there that are nice in the 3rd. Plus it has the benifit of 1st person aiming when battling creatures, or kids. A word to the wise...nobody likes Dark Elves. Don't be one.
ReplyDeleteI too have been thinking about the letter, maybe it has been sent out to all priests. Possibly the player could meet up with some of their brethren down the road to help battle evil or get special artifacts? Maybe it doesn't even have to be from the Vatican.
As far as the Father being special in any way...maybe a special amulet, relic, or possible spell could be initially equipt.
In Clive Barkers Undying, the player starts with this crazy stone that sends out a shock wave. It shouldn't be like that...but...something in that nature?
Maybe he's the only priest with a double barrel shotgun! :D
Throw 'em out there! Throw "em out!
This is gonna be good!
ReplyDeleteDoes it even have to be a priest? Maybe it could be John "Corned" Beef...?
ReplyDeleteI think the priest thing works best. It's almost like a cheesy "B" movie from the eighties. Remember the Priest in "Dead Alive"? Awesome. You know what else is awesome? Priests with double barrel shotguns.
ReplyDeleteAll joking aside though, do we want the priest to have "magical powers"? It's not that it's a bad idea but so many games have gone down this road recently. What could we do that would be different enough but still shy away from just brute force lead slinging?
Also, one other note, quad core's with hyper threading are awesome. Mcafee is doing a virus scan, adobe is updating, I've got like 20 tabs open in ie, and nothing is slowing down.
