The Prometheus Secret [Prototype]
This is much more than just another project for me, this is regaining my lost childhood dream of games development and owning a games studio. Time is not my friend at this late start but determination drives me forward even harder. I have been developing "The Prometheus Secret " for the last 6 months mainly after hours so its been really tough not having dedicated time for this project. The project is still in prototype stage, but I would appretitate your feedback if you find this game at least interesting.
Summary
The mortal man, forever in the middle of the will of a higher intelligence. Some call them alien but most call them gods and every nation will tell the tales of battles between gods to defend good or for evil. Religions tell of a single saviour, a guiding light to mankind.
Greek mythology talks of Prometheus, son of a Titan god who sought to defend mankind and help advance their progress. We look back at ancient civilisations and wonder where they received their advanced knowledge of engineering, astronomy and mathematics. Each dream of an inventor eventually taking us one building block further.
Greek mythology also speaks of the Golden Age, a time a very long time ago of peace, stability, harmony and prosperity. This was a time where man was believed to live a divine existence, but as each Silver, Bronze and Iron Age that followed man has declined into an existence where there is no shame at wrong doing. In our quest for power, riches and self-reliance by the use of science by the year 2043 the world was again dark. At the brink of collapse having depleted all our natural resources and entering into anarchy.
This is where you are needed, a hero to take up the quest to save the world and bring humanity back to a golden age. The Prometheus Secret is a physics puzzler game that takes you on a adventure to solve the mystery of our connection with immortals and our progression as mortals. Having found the Fire Orb of Prometheus on your adventure through an ancient Mayan temple, you try to yield its powers as best you can to gain more knowledge. In reality though it will lead you through many ancient worlds in its quest to go back from where it was originally forged.
Gameplay involves completing each puzzle like stage by using placement, weight, push, shield, timing, force and attack to move the Fire Orb through the Gods Eye Teleport. Move through all ancient world stages collecting treasure to purchase power-ups and clues to complete a final adventure puzzle stage before moving to the next world. All worlds hold the key to entering the final birth place of the Fire Orb and solving the secret that would eventually save mankind from itself.
The games is inspired by the early love of 2D games from the early 80s, I am not keen to go pixel art or use sprites but to move typical 2D enviroments into more dynamic 2.5D camera perspectives using 3D models and lighting.
Wield the Fire Orb of Prometheus, use weight and Force Push to counter physics and reach the Teleport, avoid damage, create destruction, with an arcade type feel by collecting power-ups and coins.
In the adventure componant a player will be able to select a hero character to do the bidding of a god and solve the mystery during their journey.
