Hi all,
I am working on a game that is mostly about Jewels that hold the power of various Fantasy minions. The game is about how these Jewels interact with each other...
My difficulty is that I am looking for a NAME for this game... Some games which are more puzzle games in comparison would be like "Bejeweled".
But the game I am working on is more Fantasy-oriented and is more than just a puzzle game. It is also part RPG. Games in this category are similar to "Puzzle Quest" (http://www.infinite-interactive.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/PuzzQuest...).
Of course my game is different and does not have gem matching as the primary mechanic, it's mostly about placement combined with colours. passive and active abilities.
For example races and their alignment (including the great dual RPS-3 mechanics it will be using) can be found on this BGDF thread: http://www.bgdf.com/node/14163
So what I need is a GAME NAME and something to call the MANA that comes from these Jewels...
Like I said the Jewels hold the power of minions that get used on the battlefield against your opponent (however your opponent has his own Jewels/Minions).
Many thanks for your input and help!
I'm still in the process of having a "small" storyline about the game, which may evolve later on.
As of today the concepts is sort of like this:
-As each great Hero ages, he comes face to face with the reality of life and the final destination upon death.
-Ancient Oracles through tradition have been responsible for helping the legends of those Heroes survive beyond death.
-The Oracles use magic crystals they place upon the body of the dying Hero such that those crystals embody each Heroes' spirit through a series of rituals upon death.
-The crystals are then used by great Leaders to deploy their spirit armies to do battle against each other...
This is just a rough idea. I am still in the process of thinking about the storyline. My apologies if this one may seem a little bit lame! :)
I'm not the best storyteller - so I will need to ponder further. I just wanted to give designers some clue as to what I am looking for in terms of a name for the game...
