Hello Everyone,

I wanted to make a game about "pursuing your dreams", but I couldn't think about it to all kind of people. So I thought, why not, making a game about people who want to be professional video gamers?

The story goes like this:
The kid run away from his home at 13 to go after this crazy career, there's simple dramas (traveling, finding a place to sleep, eating...) , coming of age events, a love story, and all that kind of stuff.
There's 3 chapters at the moment: Learning the game, The virus (a conspiracy that makes people who play the game to buy arbitrary stuff) and the World Championship.
(I actually wrote and thought more about the story, I'll tell more to the interested ones)

The "battle system" is not a traditional rpg battle, I'm thinking in a platform fighting game like a Megaman, and I don't want this non-sense like in pokemon where they solve all there issues with poke battles, this game have to make sense in this particular area.

About the 'monetization', I was thinking in making the game in flash and release a demo across flash portals with some limitations inside, and then, the person can buy the full version from a website. I chose this for two reasons: 1st: everybody plays games in flash. 2nd: It's the one I know to use the most. But this is not a final decision, we can change all that.

As you've already noticed, my native language is not english, it's brazilian portuguese, so I may have trouble communicating sometimes.

Check out my blog too: (It have some posts in portuguese) juliobortolon.blogspot.com (http://juliobortolon.blogspot.com)

And finally, we have a very talented 2d artist with us. Seriously, he's really good.

Nice idea man, from which part of Brazil are you? I am from Rio Grande do Sul.
