Summary

During my time in high school, when I was in the 11th grade, I started drawing up concept art & writing a script for a video game I've always dreamed of making titled "Legends of Arkadia" what led to the inspiration is when I was visiting a family friend's house, she & her family where watching Disney/ABC's "Once Upon a Time", a show that I started watching back in middle school during the show's 3rd season, which I immediately fell in love with ever since but unfortunately fell off due to missing an episode, but got back on after discovering the complete series is on Netflix, before that sometime around 2017, a childhood friend of mines introduced me to "Stranger Things", another core inspiration as the show was entering its 2nd season, immediately fell in love with that show as well, deciding to make a sci-fi/fantasy video game inspired by both shows, as time went on, I also got inspired by a popular anime series titled "The Seven Deadly Sins" (Nanatsu no Taizai) which is what brought me back to anime after being forced away from it for so long, also served as another core inspiration, alongside other anime I've seen & also served as core inspirations such as "Bleach (including its spin-off Burn The Witch)", "Inuyasha (& its sequel Yashahime)", "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", & "The Promised Neverland", I was also inspired by a graphic novel series titled "Amulet" which I have been reading since middle school, fell in love with the story & characters, another graphic novel series I've been reading titled "The Rema Chronicles" which also served as an inspiration as well, animated series from my childhood such as "Avatar: The Last Airbender" served as another core inspiration because of the heavy storytelling it tells, alongside Guillermo Del Toro/DreamWorks' "Tales of Arcadia" franchise, other video games such as "Devil May Cry", "Bayonetta", & "God of War" franchises, all of whom also serve as core inspirations, originally I wanted this game to be a Hack & Slash title, but after playing modern titles like the "Megami Tensei/Persona" franchise, & "Final Fantasy (beginning with Final Fantasy 7 Remake)" inspired me to go from Hack & Slash to Action Role-Playing, & while looking back at the "Bioshock" franchise, it also inspired me to add horror elements despite not making it a COMPLETE horror game.

​

As of December 2024, I still intend to make it an Action Role-Playing game in a sci-fi/fantasy based setting with horror elements.

​

I am still writing the script with the game.
