Well, after a long while, at last, I'm gonna release some info regarding one of my stories. I've only shown some of these concepts and ideas to some of my friends.

Well, technically, I'm still figuring out the name for this story, this new 'world', so for now, lets just call it Axachariyah-verse, based on the name of the main character.

Well, this Axachariyah-verse is a mythical magic world set around the medieval ages, with some Renaissance and early 1700s mixed in (oh god that sounds dumb haha). Well, for now, that's the best description that I can give for now. A world of magic, technology, countries and different races.

It seems that world-building (creating a fictional world from scratch) is hard for me, so my ideas are still rough around the edges, hopefully it will smooth out soon.

Well, unfortunately, I only have one sketch to present to you today, a mix of major and and not so minor characters. I don't want to reveal much, but let just say the main character is the masked hooded sword guy, and with him is a fire mage, a musketeer with a deadly secret,  an archer who is a member of a secret group, a mercenary for hire, and someone that sucks....which is is which? guess away...Hopefully, I will reveal the answers soon...

P.S.: I have a comic in the works regarding on some of these characters, sketching is done, let see if I can move my lazy hands to ink it....

 Yes, it's been a long time since I've updated this shit, and I apologize, I will try to update it more often.....So I will try to redeem my absence with a long post~

So this post is about a game idea I had quite awhile now (Creating games is one of my life's dream)....and I took alot of inspirations (AKA copy paste ideas and modiefied it abit) from lots of games, movies, anime and etc.

So, the name is SuperHuman, the game is kinda like a modern day Skyrim, a sandbox game where you are a legendary character who holds the key to saving the world. You can kill the people for fun, you can run errands, take jobs, marry someone, rob a bank and other stuff.

Okay, here's the story, set in the modern day, one day aliens suddenly pop out of of nowhere and want to invade us for some reason. Earth, of course, try to fight back, but of course failed to do so, but then out of nowhere, a superhero, the Phantom (which is who'll youll be playing), fought the aliens with his various superpowers!

So, he managed to defeat everything the aliens threw at him, and he succeeded to enter the mothership's main core, so he just casually super punch the core to hell. But nothing happened.

Suddenly he's feeling weakened. To his surprise, the core is actually sucking all his super powers, and he saw his life flashes before his eyes. And just like that, he is reduced to a normal human. Blacked out, he fall from the sky as the world watches their final hope defeated so easily.

So, with the hero gone, business as usual for the aliens, wreaking havoc and making humans slaves and all, you know, the usual stuff you see in most 'alien rule the world' movies.

25 years have passed since the 1st contact with the aliens, and somehow, the Phantom managed to survive with the little ounce of his  super invulnerability left with him! But because of the power sucking the core did, the aliens now have HIS powers. And also because of the fall, he lost alot of his memories.

<<GAMEPLAY>>

So, you will start pretty much like in Skyrim, you and a few prisoners are captured by some rogue raiders. You we're close getting executed for some reason, then BAM, an alien scoutship suddenly attack the rogue's base, so in the chaos, you and some prisoners escape, and two of them offer you to follow the (cause you somehow helped them evade the attacks). One is from the HEtA faction, one is from HFF. So your choice to follow whom will effect your storyline.

So you'll do some random missions related to the factions, and because you lost you powers, you mostly use firearms. Then in one of the missions, you somehow managed to take down an alien scoutship. And when you rummage through its wreckage, you see the a small core that powers the ship, and then suddenly, you start to regain your powers and memories back (just a little though!).

So, the more 'soulpower'you retrieve from the alien's core, more powers and memories you receive (like points upgrade to unlock cooler weapons).

<<POWERS>>

I don't want to show much, but I'll list down the basic:

Strength-> You can do strength related stuff, from the basic like heavy lifting and reducing weapon's recoil to upgraded ones like punching tanks and jumping high.


Speed  -> Basics like faster reloading and running to upgraded ones like flash-move (kinda like shundou) and moving so fast that times freezes/slows down.


Ice        -> Basics like shooting icicles to upgraded ones like creating an Absolute Zero.


 There's lots more of course, so you can basically shape the hero you had in mind.

<<FACTIONS AND ENEMIES>> (sorry for the bad picture scans)

One of the guards, they are particularly simple and ragged with their uniforms, and wield firearms. Though they can pack quite a punch.

>>Humanity Freedom Front (HFF)

A faction that completely rejects any deals or alliances with the aliens,and will fight with whatever they have to destroy the aliens.

Much more advanced from their anti-alien friends, the have better uniforms, good protection, and they sometimes use more high-tech weapons.

>>Humans-Extraterestrials Alliance (HEtA)

A faction that try to work together with the aliens, and try to somehow co-exist with them as much as possible.

Yes, the aliens are a floating mass of 3d shapes etched with weird markings and binded together by some weird electricity.  They rarely show their true form, and usually wear on of those tentacles suits.

A regular alien grunt. About the same size with a human. Some of you might ask why does these aliens look like some ancient floating magical rocks that belongs to some fantasy RPG....the answer is because they are aliens, they are suppose to be REALLY weird. And I wanna change the whole idea of aliens being more technologically advanced by showing them having cool gadgets and shit. I mean, they could look like some ancient rocks, but still have advanced technology. Its aliens were talking bout. They are supposed to be other-worldly and weird.

>>Celestial Beings (Aliens)

The main antagonist, they came to earth for a secret reason that you will know when you finish the game.

That's some freaky looking combination huh? and by the way, she's holding some weird alien firearm.

>>Inter-species protoypes (Hybrids)

A product of the aliens experiments on humans and animals, they produce this weird alien/human/animal freaks that have some powerful skills and powers.

>>Rogues

An enemy type, basically humans that wants the earth to turn into wild west, they do shit whatever and whenever they want, and don't give two shits bout what is happening in earth.

>>Mutations

An enemy type, they're are zombie like humans that have been attacked by the alien's biological weapons. They're many types, from normal zombies to vampire like creatures. Animals are affected too.

Those are some basic enemy ideas. More will come I guess. And no matter what faction you choose, you will always end up facing the final alien boss somehow, and will try to defeat the core that have once sucked your powers.

Phantom facing off one of the game's boss. Yes, the hero is wearing a mask and a fedora. I kinda reject the idea of superheroes with silly overcomplicated costumes, I mean, it's the future, people laugh at that shit in reality. So, this hero just wear everyday clothes, and when trouble comes, he just puts on a mask to hide his identity, and go fight. Simple as that.

<<PARTING WORDS>>

So that's basically it, it kinda mix of Skyrim, Protoype, GTA, Darksiders and Battlefield (planning it to be a first person perspective game).

So hopefully it will become a reality somehow haha.



BTW, I have alot of pages of comics to draw, and my University results coming in, so I'm kinda busy after this, but no fear, I will try to update it as best as I can.


For you Malaysians readers, I've finisheda short comic titled 'Mat Hoodie', here's the link http://www.mediafire.com/?5fg16djwhj49lrj , and plz comment about it.

I really need to speed up my works, cuz most of em are largely delayed. Work faster!!

With that, good evening/morning/afternoon and see you next time!

*Sighs* Haven't really updated for awhile, and sorry for that. It seems my ideas are running low these days, not just ideas, my will to do anything it seems. I need something to charge me up!

If you guy don't know, I draw alot, anime style (yeah, got a problem with that artsyle?), mostly of what I've been thinking or any concepts that I like. Some time I do comic strips for fun. I have a short comic in the making, but having problems with typesetting (damn you Mangastudio!). I usually have alot of ideas to draw and share to the world, but sometime my ideas and inspiration goes down, and I will start to do activities that I mostly do when i'm down and depressed  (surfing 4chan/marathoning anime/eating).

And right now thankfully I have some inspiration for something to draw, though it doesn't really have anything with what i'm working currently. Sometimes the reason why I feel down is I forgot ideas, or my ideas is stolen (albeit, taken by another show that I don't know existed). One minute you think your ideas are original, BAM, someone else already done it.

Okay maybe not up to that level..

My original character in my story..

Zakaria fighting a villain. I'll show the concepts and stuff when it's fully fleshed out

Short one bout my early school life... By the way, if you have a deviantART, add me http://haxorxor.deviantart.com/

Music is important to me, and I'm pretty sure it's important to most people. A mixture of beats, rhythms, melodies and voices that is fused together majestically to give various emotions, feelings, inspirations, satisfaction once it entered our ear canals. And every genre has it's own appeal and it's own fans.

Anyhow, music is something I live off and it's like oxygen to me (though I've never heard anyone who breathes in at least once a day, but you see my point right?). When I sketch, I listen to my music, when I take a short walk, I listen to music, even when I'm bathing, veeerrry rarely. I don't know why, but my music seems to inspire me about my sketches, or make me feel energetic on slow day.

And I don't know if its just me, but some of the songs I have always remind of some places and events. Some remind me of walking in the rain, some remind me of the last house that I've lived, and even a song that reminds me of me staying up 3 in the morning to play MMORPGS while my parents are asleep. And  to me, those memories are somewhat nostalgic to me and I'm glad these songs 'awaken' some moments of life that I've long forgotten about (Darn it, I feel old).

So keep listening to music you like, and enjoy it till the last beat.

This is one of my favourite songs, with energetic fast rock tunes mixed with slow and relaxing notes. Lend me your ears if you may~This song is called Sorakaze, maning Sky Wind, sung by Nana Mizuki.

Ideas. Everyone have their own ideas that they want to see being materialized. Ideas about a plot of a story, ideas of a new invention, ideas that might have the potential to change the world. But most of these ideas are nothing but a mere thought in someone's mind and will never be of any use to the world unless that person decides to make an effort to turn the idea of theirs into reality.


What I meant to say is, if you have an idea, a concept, that you think is interesting/beneficial, work hard to make it into reality. If it's a plot, make a short comic/piece, share it with others. If you have ideas on a new invention, make an effort to read books related to your ideas and make some small sketches/models of it. If your idea is a song lyric, try to learn some basic musical instruments to make some tunes to accompany your lyrics (or the hi-tech Japanese way, use a Vocaloid singing synthesizer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocaloid).




So, if you have ideas about something and want to make it into reality, start working!

P.S-This blog is one of my ideas becoming reality hee hee
