Scroll of the Fallen

I'd like to introduce you to the latest project I've been working on. This project has been in development for roughly eight weeks and I think its about time I show everyone what's been going on.

The project has been broken up into three Avenues to tell the story in a way that will reaching a broader audience. The Three Avenues that we will be going down are building a Game, writing a Web-series, and constructing an App Book. These three different avenues will be following the same overall Legend but each will show the story from a different perspective to reveal a more in-depth story and allow the audience to become more engaged and introduce them to new mediums that they may not have used much before. An example of this would be someone who only watches videos and has never played a game getting involved in the web series and then choose to buy the game to get a more in-depth view of the world in effect broadening there mediums they get there entertainment from.

The audience will be introduced to Cyrus, an experience blacksmith that has taken on the task of protecting an ancient scroll as a promise to an old friend on his death bed. Containing a dark power that corrupts anyone who opens it, the scroll is sort as and evil relic and only the daring and dark seek its power. The Game will follow Cyrus's story as he fights to keep his promise while saving the world on the side.

The Web-series will be made up of small clips that give insight to the characters in the story  like the personality, motivation and history. We plan to make longer single episodes for larger events and characters that have a big impact to reveal back story leading up to the events that occur in the game.

The App Book will be a mystical encyclopaedia containing all kinds of information about the realm of Asradin and its history. Basic information will be accessible but other information will need to be unlocked through codes input through the Codex Page. As the audience plays the game or watches the Web-series they will notice hidden symbols and hieroglyphics scattered through out the world. If they key in these codes into the app books Codex page they will gain access to new pages and unlock hidden extras.
