Hello everyone! I’m Atropos, level and narrative designer/writer on Deadmaze. As the alpha approaches I'm creating an outlet (this thread) that will allow us to discuss. If this thread is to be my realm, then you guys would be my trusted advisors (if you want to!). I figured we could have open discussions about everything narrative related for Deadmaze, in this thread. But let’s get the “where I come from” out of the way first (in case you wonder). In a sentence : I travelled around the world while studying international affairs, wrote a book, studied cinema and screenwriting, wrote short movie screenplays for a while, directed 2, then moved to videogaming (Game Design), and eventually here I am. Now, to what matters! Here’s Deadmaze's world synopsis/teaser (which is a WIP, everything is WIP until release) : “When left in a fog of questions without any answer, explanation, nor justification, all that’s left are facts. So let’s see what we’ve got : 3 months ago, the ground shook everywhere around the Atlantic ocean. A gigantic earthquake located on the mid-atlantic ridge partially collapsed over 8 thousand kilometers of abyssal plains while deploying an energy equivalent to 5000 megatons of TNT in the shape of seismic waves … that’s 300 000 Hiroshima right there. Yeah, that’s a lot. That energy created the first tragedy : 45 minutes later, our coasts were ravaged by a 200m tall Tsunami wave. It penetrated 15 kilometers into the lands ravaging everything in its path. New-York? Rio? Lisbon? All instantly wiped out. But that was just the start of our end. Consequence of the consequences, something was brought by the waves from the abysses, something that started it all … people changed, people turned. Damn … still can’t believe I survived … so far.” A couple influences for Deadmaze’s world/storytelling : The Martian/Mad Max/Zombieland. There, I hope that makes you curious! More to come about Deadmaze's narration in the near future. There’s a lot to talk about, but one thing at a time! Cheers! :) Dernière modification le 1477652340000 |

Seems like a good story :) Even if Dead Maze world is not "destroyed", let's guess it's on center of a continent ^-^ And welcome to you on forums ^^ Are you Eric ? Dernière modification le 1477528620000 |

I love the WIP, Feels like a whole new world has come to live, I like the vocabulary used in it & you made the wip closer to people imaginations. |

That sounds so great. I don't get how a tall tsunami wave can destroy Rio/New York AND Lisbon tho |
