Well, this week is it. I finally managed to finish the last of the lore pages for Mageball. It was very exciting to create a world from scratch and develop two amazing tribes who couldn't be more different from one another. All that's left is some editing and the pages will be ready to be implemented in the game. I also believe that the art work, which helps reflect the narrative of the world, will interest the players enough to want to know both tribes. They'll ask questions such as: why does the Ice Tribe has giant ice stag statues on their level? What is their significance? What are the "Drago Mines"? What's its history? These questions will propel them to move towards the lore page and find the answers they seek while learning more about the world of Myran.
The levels and art work have been well developed by the artists and level designers. Both levels reflect both tribes society, culture, and mindset as a whole, mostly thanks to basing both tribes on the likenesses of elves and dwarven from other fantasy games. The Ice Tribe are a lot like the elves, in which they worship nature while seeking wisdom and beauty in life, rather then conflict and destruction. The Fire Tribe, meanwhile, is more like the dwarfs in which they mostly live underground, mining and fighting of dangerous beasts for their lords. They have a tragic past, but have survived with teamwork and dedication.
I want to start showing off the pages I've managed to do in the blog, but I'll need to ask Alex for permission first before doing such a thing. With nearly all the narrative work down, I now must assist the audio team with their tasks by finding sounds we can use for the GUI.
