IntroductionThis is a game idea I have come up with. Something like a adventure platformer game featuring a lynx (thanks drfeelgud88), the game will be made in Blender 3D. And so far it's only me working on it, I post this here to get feedback and ideas. It's always good to see things from another angle. Below you can read some of the magic lynx. (Taken from Wikipedia).
Information - Magic LynxThe Lynx is an elusive, ghost-like animal that sees without being seen. Often called "the keeper of secrets of the forest", its magical appearance stems from the mystery that such a creature's secrecy can also be its strength. The Lynx teaches us that even the smallest can succeed in life, and that the world can unfold itself to those who stop and listen.
The lynx is not a guardian of secrets so much as the one who knows them, especially when it comes to those secrets that are either obscured by time and space or are completely lost to the world. The lynx is therefore associated with divination and clairvoyance. Those who seek the lynx may find difficulty in getting it to cooperate. Just because the lynx knows secrets does not mean it wishes to share them. Only by respecting the lynx's behavior and listening carefully may one begin to receive an answer.
This power and ability to remain unseen attracted ancient warriors to adopt the lynx and, thus, they believed, its nature. Cunning, solitary hunters, lynx have large eyes and a keen sense of hearing which enables them to hunt at night.
Those who have been touched by the lynx's presence may be given a boon and bane. A lynx may guide the listener to a secret, whether it be a lost object or a hidden truth that is somehow relevant at the present time. On the other hand, the lynx may be an omen to warn those who have somehow betrayed the confidentiality of oneself or others.
The lynx was chosen as the emblem of the Accademia dei Lincei ("Academy of the Lynxes"), one of the world's oldest scientific societies. Its piercing vision was invoked symbolically as characteristic of those dedicated to science.
GameplayA classic Ps1 styled platformer game in third person. The gameplay is quite simple, you run around on levels that goes from point A to B and collects pickups. Not sure what kind of objects yet. While you are trying to avoid enemies, if they see you, you have to fight them. The graphic design should be in between realistic and cartoon style. See the Lo model below. Basically a game like Yo Frankie, but more realistic.
