What this is...

I am a game production and design major.
I want to make games.
I am pissed off that many games being announced have begun to have the exact concepts I've wanted to implement in my games.

All of these have led to this blog.
This is basically to document that I have legitimately written this shit down as a part of the games I want to make.

All I need to do is get a team of programmers and whatnot and I can have these bitches in motion. (Though I think some other games should be made before this one)

Stinger Story progression v1

Stinger Story background/progression v1
highly favored by Velode, the Emperor* of Dithers. She was ordered to go and conquer Midrift but she disregarded orders after observing how the people lived. After some “persuasion” to the governing bodies of Midrift (threats) she decided to become a protector of Midrift and warded off constant attacks by the Emperor’s forces. Eventually she met a man who was half shadow demon* named Raziel, and had a son with him.

*/
*Blood Devil Kings/Queens are known for causing massive destruction by manipulation with various energies - mostly in the form of energy blades, and eruptions of energy that effect the immediate area around them. They are called blood devils because of the countless casualties and the rivers of blood that flow in their wake; also their hair being predominantly red.

*Emperor Velode is a Grand Emperor Demon, these demons are almost impossible to kill as they require a certain set of circumstances to be killed. They possess incredible phyisical power. Also known to use beams and blasts of light/darkness. This, combined with their nigh invincibility and power practically enable them to be prime candidates for ruling.

*Shadow demons are a rare race as well, usually serving the demon emperor as assassins. They use stealth as their main advantage, resorting to teleportation to get around incredible distances while maintaining stealth. Shadow demons have the ability to form their bodies and aura into weapons/tools for whatever they need to use them for.

The battling continued for 5 years and Iuliya realized that the only reason the attacks would cease would be to sacrifice herslelf, for the sake of her family. So she went to Dithers, battling her way to the Emperor’s chamber and battling him. She could have won the fight, but then she would have to stay and rule.She dies, figuring that it’s the only way her son can live a full life in Midrift. For as she thought, it would probably stop there.

Nay

A few years later, when Stinger was about 10, Raziel left out and just disappeared. No body is found, so he was presumed missing or dead. Stinger was made to live with Jack, a close friend of Raziel, and his daughter, Rayne. Jack was a former wrestler and made it a goal to toughen up Stinger, make sure he has some moves to hold his own. at age 15, Stinger goes out with friends and Rayne, they get jumped by shadow demons. Stinger’s friends are killed and Rayne and Stinger are about to be killed. A voice comes to Stinger offering power in exchange for a host. Stinger accepts and Damien takes control.
When stinger comes to, the shadow demons are dead, and Rayne is unconscious, so he carried her back to Jack’s. It was in that moment Stinger resolved to kill demons for a living.

To get to that point, he had to do a lot of other jobs, even did a bit of running, but he was too lazy to keep it up like Rayne did. Rayne had a thing for running.
After Stinger moved out into a place (from savings and loans) he finally got a place of operation. Rayne was the runner, she got him jobs and he did them, giving her a cut of the reward. Kept going for at least 5 years until….


*—Between each boss fight, players can do demon hunting jobs/running jobs for money and experience to buy items and new moves for weapons, respectively.

*—Destructable elements in environment

*—Optional demon world quest in which Stinger goes to each boss’ realm and quell the chaos that ensues. Doing so will gain trust from citizens and in turn give access to the area that contains the super secret sacred collectable that will allow the player to defeat Legis quickly.

*—World will have randomly spawning enemies

*—collectables(items from optional demon world, pieces of an item to increase health, pieces of an item to increase how long player can limit break before hurting themselves)

After intro, and training, Stinger enters the town and discovers the hole, Only Stinger can still move. A voice beckons to him, telling him to walk outside of the city and Stigner ends up outside of the main area of the city where he sees a mysterious man. He strikes first and the battle begins. Stinger holds his own and the mysterious man reveals himself to be Ryujin of the dragon world. He is there to warn the humans of prince Legis’ ambition, as the dragons have been able to identify the origins of the hole, as this is something Legis has done before. Legis opens a portal as a formal warning, Other demon lords to scout for areas to call their own(they are also allowed to kill any who get in their way). For now, Stinger is the first capable fighter for the realm of Midrift.

Afterwards, he goes on to fight the first Lord Letum and he obtains Letum’s remnant. After that, he is transported to Dithers, the demon world. In that world he has to return the soul and complete a task so he can continue in the realm of Dithers.

The basic plot for Dithers is he’ll have to go back when he defeats one of the lords.

Varr the berserker is one of those battles that stands out because she’s a Berserker, and in a sense, so is Stinger.

Draegon is another fight that stands out because Draegon is a…personal rival of Stinger’s.

Arrancar is a collossal fight.
After this fight is a collection of skirmishes where allies will aid.
And then Legis. The prince of Dithers.
Legis is cold in personality, but seductive in nature.
Legis is half Grand Emperor and part succubus.
Seductive yet malicious and brutal, Legis has led a campaign to conquer Midrift to make it a demon’s land. As well as to position himself to battle those who call themselves gods.


Dithers is a realm fit for demons. They don’t mind being called demons. A Half demon can DT and stay that way for an extended period of time. However, fights against demons are more intense. Demons live fairly stuctured, but it’s generally more chaotic than Midrift; It’s like the closest thing to anarchy under a monarchic-type rule. 


Midrift is the place for humans. Demons have migrated there and have been able to live amongst humans quite well. Integration of demonic power and human technology has led to vast improvements in society and for the better relations of both races. Since demons can’t really withstand the environment, they have limiters that restrain their powers and their demonic forms. There are a few large cities separated largely by deserts and plains. There are many bases where mercenaries are. As well as various groups. Runners mostly travel between the cities and mercenaries to get info to take them to the hunters.


Vreebona is a constuct dimension. Each god creates their own aspect of vreebona. So in a sense, they create their own worlds to suit their own preferences. Each god is asexual, and not all gods control a world.

Xion game progression

Draven
Terra + Sergra
Baku (Roku interferes)
Roku (Dragon Fists)
Rayne (runs away)
Liro
Regina *rocket launcher
Leona (Rayne interferes, Leona gets away with harsh injuries)
Rina
Rayne (runs away) *drops double blade weapons
Leona
Cero (multi part battle, nightmare stinger battle, giant cero battle) *levitating multi-blade weapon
Ryujin (supposed to lose, but she learns about Damien, etc.)
Rayne (finishes fight)
Stinger
*Xoren

As the story progresses, Xion’s version of the story becomes re-imagined based on decisions.

World is constantly dark/cloudy/maybe rainy
Before the true final battle ensues, it becomes sunny and bright, giving a false sense of an ending.

If she lets Stinger’s friends live, Xion becomes more understanding of Stinger’s perspective.

if she kills the friends, she demonizes him more and more, focusing on everything she lost. Attempts to justify being right for doing what she’s doing.

Xion has to go through nightmares experienced either while unconscious or when she sleeps.

Potential plot twists:
-Xion has been dead all along.

-Xion was revived as a tool of Xoren’s plot to get Damien’s power.

-Xion is actually a demon/dragon/wraith hybrid that has been following Stinger appearing as a massive entity of shadow, dust and white fire.
