I really don’t like her either… but I overlooked her and just hoped that each moment could be her last=)

I disliked the Ju-On remake, mainly because I can’t stand SMG and cannot take her seriously.

But you’re right in a lot of what you say, what was up with the horse scene in the American version of Ringu? I still don’t understand that unles it went over my head.

Asian films just have better atmosphere to them and while a bit cliche they just deliver the goods so much better.

As a player you switch between playing as Ryuunosuke and Cian=)
And I guess it will be a kind of RPG game, just without the need for a new screen when you are going into battle.
It is a single player game. =)

Thank you for clearing up your story for me Anki. You seem to have it all sorted out! That is good, because now you can start to think of how you are going to make a short description of the game you envisage, and then focus on the artwork. The details you describe on this blog will help you, so continue with them as you develop your artworks.

BTW: The relationship between the dark lord and cian remind me of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader!

And now, some more questions!

So, if I am the player, am I Cian?
Game genre: RPG?
Is it a single player or multiple player game?

I found the name Ryuunosuke in the charaters list of Rumiko Takahashi manga/anime series “Urusei Yatsura”. Did you find it there too? If so, you can make a reference to it! I also found “Ryūnosuke Akutagawa”, who is often cited as being the father of Japanese stories. His name means “dragon son”.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ry%C5%ABnosuke_Akutagawa

I googled “Cian”, and found a wikipedia reference to the name – meaning the ancient one in Irish folklore.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cian

Is it a conscious decision on you part, to use names from different cultures/folklores?

I think the faceless ones are interesting. A mask-like face showing no character or sign of age, on which they draw scars of lost memories. Yet still they are afraid of Ryuunosuke’s crumbling mask, and the face that is revealed beneath. Is his mask crumbling as a result of finding and waking Cian, the ancient one?

Why has Cian been put to sleep? Because he still retains memories from the crumbling world? In your idea for a game, can a player choose to take the path of either good or evil? What is the mission?

What if the lord of the castle was not a lord at all, but a nature force/phenomenon, a gravitational force that is affected by the psyche of the beings that live under its influence. (Humans are great at personifying the forces of nature: Earth Mother, Sun God, etc).

Then, what has happened to cause a rupture between those who remember, and the faceless ones that have forgotten? How is this connected to the world that is crumbling? Say there was a phenomenological shift in gravity caused by an exploding sun or something. A world was ripped apart. Much of the world was lost, but two parts of it survived, held together by a “bridge”.
The shield could be a natural phenomenon, affected by fear and the re-awakening of memories from times gone by. So the dilemma – memory recall may cause the two remaining parts of the world to fall apart – to implode, be sucked into a black hole. But what is better to live as zombies, without memories or personalities, or to retain a sense of self and become extinct in the process ……

hmmmmm ….. those are just my thoughts. You can tke them or leave them,
