Celestial will be an action adventure game that takes place in heaven and hell.
Anyone can join the collab at any time but you have to actually help with something, you can’t join because you want to join something.
I joined to be the ideas guy, so, I shall spit out ideas:
Story #1
A sorta classic story of redemption, You are a fallen angel trying to climb back up to heaven. The enemies could just be demons trying to drag you back down to hell, “Where you belong”.2. 2.
Story #2
A twist to the first one, You are an angel fighting your way down to hell to either find or kill someone (either could be interesting). The enemies could be a mix of angels and demons trying to stop you for it and at the end (succeeding or not) you become a fallen angel for disobeying the rules of life or something like that
Story #3
Basically Kratos, You play as a mortal who crawled out of purgatory and wants to tear away the concepts of heaven and hell as you see them as unjust and corrupt (whether this is true or not doesn’t really matter to the Mc). Same enemies as 2 but could also have Npc’s along the way that could paint the truth of these concepts (either proving the Mc right or wrong, again either would be interesting)
Each one is just a base outline and could have variations with the twists and gameplay
Before we decide on a story, we should make gameplay and then fit it to a story.
Action/Adventure is not quite a genre of game. We thinking Legend of Zelda? Or possibly a text-based story game with player-controlled action interludes?
It would be cool if you had a sorta floating mechanic, like clicking the jump button in the air stops you in place allowing you to hover over the ground for a while to jump again or maybe attack
Game Idea: When the Angel dies, There could be an Animation of a demon hand (reaching out towards the screen) grabbing the halo and breaking it then the Game over screen will have shards of the Halo in the game over.
Sliding on a wall creates smoke, jumping from a wall creates smoke and your character leaves a cloud trail, falling at a certain speed creates a cloud trail.
