Basic Story:
The story itself is the story of the rise and fall of the government and how it is overthrown. You will play as a multitude of characters each with their own personalities. You shall only play as one character at a time. Each character’s story takes place at different time periods, so the story of the government skips around time. Some of the character’s stories may interact with other characters, and some will not.
Setting:
This takes place in a world far below ours underground. Light does not pass there and its citizens live in the dark. The main source of power in from the world’s core, where they have an unlimited source of power. While there is a humungous city, much of it is in somewhat of a ruins state. Things are falling apart, houses are crumbling, and people are starving. Many use sheet metal, wood, and bricks to repair their houses and other estates, as only the government has access to concrete and steel. There is high pollution and many factories constantly working to produce war material as well as other things.
Historical Overview:
2107-2109: Government is all powerful
2110: Tension is rising between citizens and government. The government is starting to lose all support.
2111: The resistance is formed. Things have not cleared up between government and citizens. Political movements are to be made in order to eliminate the “old” government.
2112-2113: The government has started mass producing combat cyborgs to do its bidding. Therefore, all robots are to be eliminated for the best interest of the citizens, even the humanoids.
2114 2117: The war has begun between resistance and government. The government has lost much support, so it is crashing down. It is inevitable that the government will be quickly defeated, as very few support the “old” government. In a last ditch attempt, the government has ordered an all out nuclear attack.
2118: The government has fallen, yet there is much devestation. Many have died, and very few have the knowledge to run the country.
2119-2121: The country is in a state of panic and chaos. Everyone fends for themselves.
2122: A new leadership has formed in attempt to create peace in the country. Thus, a new government is starting to be formed.

Sis, 2110: Samuel’s hopeful sisters. (non playable)

ANDY, 2115: A child humanoid looking for a purpose in life. He is looking for someone to accept him as who he is. He carries around a teddy bear named Teddy.
Max, 2108: He was a government official at one point, but fled in order to escape. He disagrees with the government. He fights for what he believes in.
The gist of it all:
I plan to make this game a 2D somewhat RPG type game using GM. For the battle system, I plan to create an ABS system. There will be enemies on the map, and if you touch one, the will be a screenlock and a variation of monsters will appear. This means that the terrain you battle I will be important and may prove to be an advantage or disadvantage.
Each character will have his or her own spells and specialties. To use a spell, you must point at where you want you spell to be cast. Once chosen, you must press a combination of keys in order to use the particular spells you wants. The better you are at memorizing these key patterns, the better you will be at battling and using magic along with other skills. If you are to press the wrong keys, your spell will backfire.
This is a re-rough draft of what I plan to do for the city. I understand there are some fatal kinks such as the perspective and the porportions, but please bear with me. The buildings will be worked on, yet I am not a pro artist. Therefore, some details may have to be overlooked in order to finish this project. Once I add an animated background and some more details, it should look somewhat better.
Other notes
- characters are still not done.
- things are subject to change
- Title needs to change
I am sort of rusty with this kind of thing and I have no clue whether or not I will finish this project.
