While I will send in my proposal separately. I wanted to make sure that it was easy to see what my idea is and where I have started from, so that hopefully I can show my progression and my evolution throughout my project.
The title is Exodus. This is a story that I have been wanting to display for a very long time. This is why I am able to explain my full idea. This world has been torn apart by war, literally creating islands from the damage. These thousands of islands worked together to connect in the recovery of the world. Countries ceased to exist and is now replaced with four simple sections where hundreds of Islands have connect to make a small hive cluster. The South/East/West and North. After awhile the world realised that they did not have enough supplies to feed everyone at once so they created a system to earn these supplies so that they may be regulated easier.
This doesn’t mean that the food has ran out, just they couldn’t make enough so quickly so they made a sports event system to regulate the speed of supplies. It started as normal sports but after a huge discovery, we had found an element that allowed us to create Augmented reality games, these games allowed us to put our consciousness into the created world. As such the Exodus games were made.
With the help of all four ‘nations’, they created one large hive cluster of islands for tournaments and academies to train gifted children to play in these games and win supplies for their nation. These were called to Academy islands and the Exodus Centre.
The Exodus games is a copy of the old League of Legends MOBA game. But this time, players entered the game and won through the use of skills from their own mental and physical abilities. The team and codes of MOBAs still remained (apart from the buying items part) but I will elaborate on these roles in another blog.
As such the games became majorly watched sports in which Nations sent in multiple teams of gifted children to work as teams. However, jumping into a game required a Avatar. These Avatars are based off of your own mental state. For example, a very shy individuals Avatar would be a confident being, Avatars could be out of this world characters such as robotic half animal half humanoids. But that all depends of ones creativity. These Avatars are first choose at 12 when you enter for the first time which forces you to create one.
The history of Exodus started well, The North were the first ever winners and dominated the games for years, hwoever they were cheated out. The south cheated with hacks and started an era of dominance. Over time the South have bribed the West and East to ‘bully’ the North for a share of supplies. As such the Northern nation is very poor and spiteful to the cheating. Thats where my story starts.
5 children from the North become new players and work there way up to beat the cheaters that destroyed their people. Each member has reasons and vices to beat and that is the journey I intend to show.
In the actual game, being killed does not result in actual death. Killing an Avatar in game simulates pain to the host but due to the nature of the game, they are able to respawn after a certain timer. This timer is decided up how many times they had died previously.

I will be creating the 5 characters in personal and then their Avatars. I will then design the maps they battle on and the HUD of the broadcasters, similar to the commentary that most sports have, but with an Esports twist. Finally I will create flags and symbols of the nations. Finally showcasing these on a Wix Website.
