Camera has been since changed so it doesn't move with every jump.
Technology. It's what puts us on top. Some is basic, some complex, some built to last; some will outlast us, even once discarded. Some is "smart", some are "Life Companions". Many use digital assistants daily that will be cast aside once a more capable device takes its place. We aim to make technology better constantly and to make it self-organizing,..
What happens when we make technology even smarter, more human, more of a companion than ever and when it becomes no longer relevant for modern use, where does it go..? How would we deal with disposing something that looks and acts just like us?
Meet Aarel,
She is 13 years old. She's different but like anyone is trying to find her place, contribute, and just figure things out. She resembles an ordinary studious school girl but is really something else; she has extraordinary amounts of energy and doesn't know her true power.
She is from a time of advancing technology. It advanced so quickly that it caused problems and needed to be held back.
She was created just before then to be as human as possible; but only made it through the prototype stages before being scrapped as the world declared a creation like herself would be too much.
She was left wrecked, missed, lied about, stolen, sold, transported, modified, repaired,..? There had been a period of ten years that are a mystery as to her whereabouts..
She resurfaced nearly thirteen years after being made. Her technology is quite old after this much time but in many ways, less inhibited. She becomes an immediate target of interest but manages to hide so she could reprint damages and now has run off, left to fend for herself!
She is docile by design but violence finds her and changes that were made to her put her on the offensive. She is also equipped with an attached involuntary cannon which she would very much like to get rid of.
She believes she has a brother and is somewhat unable to grasp the concept of how much time has passed since they were both together as time isn't important to her. She wishes to find him to restore herself, in hopes to replicate his conscience and go back to a factory state.
Little does she know, life will never be as planned for her...
She is positive and very goal oriented but has conflicting corrupted and damaged emotions which she keeps to herself until she can understand and trust others. What people could ever realize from her as she learns from them is limitless.
-------------
This game is aimed at being action / casual. It will play like a platformer but with dead simple controls. There shouldn't have to be any knowledge of a story to pick it up and play but it helps in developing the environment. It may or may not have dialogue though if so, it would likely be little. The goal now is to start with a demo release on the PC and hope to expand from there. The photos of the screenshots displayed at this time are of very early concept.
Next on the todo may be to unveil more of the detailed plot / profiling of Aarel and the large version of this story which is already written, if that's of interest.. But it's big! Will also be working on creating a first level and assets for the game.. Thanks for reading
