"Maiden City: the last collateral damage" Game Dev Diary #1 Intro& Game Concept


"...we had everything before us, we had nothing before us..." - Charles Dickens, <<A Tale of Two Cities>>




Hello! I'm Uirusu!
First of all, welcome to my homepage! I'm not an English speaker so please bear with my grammer.
This is a GDD(game developer diary) for "Maiden City: the last collateral damage". We are going to talk about the concept of this game.
But before we go to the main topic, let me introduce myself first.
I'm a gamer since I played "Total Annihilation" when I was in elementary school and still counting.
Just like most gamers, making my own game has been my dream since the first day I stepped into the gaming world!
I'm studying in college now and my favorite game type changed from RTS to stealth-based game.
I play almost all types of games, FPS, RPG, ADV, you name it. I don't know but I have something special about stealth-based game since I played "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty".
Metal Gear is still my all time favorite until now.
"Maiden City: the last collateral damage"(referred as "her" from now on) won't be a stealth-based game, but I intend to make the rest of this series that way.
I personally value the story and the gameplay of a game very much, and for her, I'm focusing on the story.
She is a cyberpunk-themed visual novel, or you can say an adventure game.
Story happened in 2099 AD where mankind had suffered WWIII and other devastating events.
Maiden City is a country founded by serveral maidens on an island called Formosa (aka Taiwan) in 2022 AD.
They aimed to build an independent country and army to put an end to WWIII started by the elite societies*1,and to free mankind from elite socities domination.
But things gone wrong, and the Maidens turned against each other.
At that exact moment, mankind was doomed to a dystopian future.
Back to current time (2099), Maiden City had become a corrupted and dangerous place.
Government is just a puppet for gigantic coporations, and common citizens struggle to survive the day, living on the crumbs the coporations dropped while munching on the city.
However, at exact November 26th of the year 2099,Maiden City comes to a destiny point where the future will be altered by two maidens, once again.
But this time, you are here to witness it.
You will witness the rise of Springfield, the legendary vigilante group*2 leader, and Alyson, the PMSC*3 chairwoman and the most powerful person in the world of Maiden City.
Exactly what happened on the same snowing Thanksgiving night that altered the future of the world?
How did their fate cross and drift away to the point of no return?
Would you be the one to witness the present?
Would you be the one to change the future?
I'm here and you are here with me, at our very first game developer diary.
We will watch the story reveals herself to us as we walk along the path together.
I'll make here my home and here's your invitation to come to Maiden City.
Okay, that's it for today! I'll try my best to talk to you guys and girls about her backstories or progress everyday or at least every other day.
Next time we will probably talk about backstory. I'm personally is very excited about it and I hope you do too!
Enjoy this very first concept art, feel free to write down comments below, opinions or questions or anything, I will see you next time!
Goodbye!
