Downfall Legend
“My name is Maria Harris. I recently graduated from Wormtown Technical Institute with a major in Science Writing and minor in Journalism. When I was a freshman, I thought I would be take the school by storm and be the top student. I thought I’d be going to class, partying and studying in between, and discovering myself like a typical collage student. What I found instead was a conspiracy…”
Downfall Legend is an on again/off again passion project of mine that I’ve worked on since 2016. It follows the adventures of a protagonist fresh out of college (and later her actual adventures in college) trying to find her way in life. Her Mother, a VP at an evil energy corporation offers her a job as a birthday present, but her boyfriend has given as present tickets to a science fiction convention on the same day you are supposed to start your first day of work. What will you choose? Work or play? Or are these choices mere distractions to a larger conspiracy threatening to destroy your entire home city of Luminosa and potentially the world?
No definitive release date is currently in site. But I’ve made it a personal goal of mine to complete at minimum the opening area by July 27, 2019 to celebrate Mother 1’s anniversary. To hold myself accountable, some potential public humiliation is in order. I swear by myself to complete the following items in my checklist by July 27 or so help me god:
key
X = done
C = complete, needs final pass
P = puzzles added
E = enemies added
i = imported
