Description A game idea imagined by me and and a friend of mine.
Drawing and character belongs to me, LightWaveDrake.

Long time ago, a friend of mine named Alex gave me an idea for a possible game I could make. At first, he suggested me a game where you control a bounty hunter griffin, but a griffin was hard to draw and didn't look good. So after some redesigns, from a lizard to a dragon warrior, I decided to google for inspirations, until I found something awesome.

Using that image as inspiration, I made this very drawing of my shark man.

Game story:
The backstory behind the game was based on Splatoon. After humankind mysteriously vanished, millions of years passed and the land have been taken by oceanic and river animals, now evolved into humanoid creatures. 
Somehow, incredibles intelligence and knowledge was granted for these creatures, enough for them to basically become the new humankind of the planet, very alike...
My idea was to make a 2D game, linear but with pinches of exploration, like a Metroidvania but not in full. 
I also wanted to add religious thoughts and references in the game to cause reflection and mystery, obviously not extremely accurate for I'm not expert about that and for I want to make an original experience.

Character:
Svend is a relatively small shark compared to the other species of the planet. He works for other people in the search of priceless jewelry and treasures out the planet, using his swords of niobium. With him, we would explore a post apocalyptic world now reconstructed by the new civilization of animals, that now have no idea of what humans possibly existed.

His lore:
He was part of humble village of other nurse sharks, one of the few species that can connect themselves to the nature, but also recognized by the others as weak and worthless. Trying to make himself stronger physically and mentally, he leaves his land to train hard, and during his training, he realizes his mind was connected with old spirits of the forest, grating him great power after many years, he comes back and a shocking coincidence happened: his village was under attack.

Nobody survived. Svend was now the last. Among the fires of the burning houses, he sees a face he would never forget, a promise to himself to take revenge from that manace.

During a mission, Svend uses the help of a jet pilot to travel to a distant island. While the fly to their goal, Svend met with someone overskilled who managed to cut off his left arm and kick him away, falling to an unknown island. Now, he needs to come back to his mission.

Skills:
Unknowingly, Svend hered some marvelous mind skills, able to control the energy of PSI (psychic power), such as feel the opponents' will (kinda read minds), power his perception of time (slow the time for himself), summon spiritual fire and fast regenerate his flesh and blood. He might use his mind wisely though his adventures.

Well, it's very probable that the game would suck, would offend people even if it was not intentional, would promise too much, or basically would not even begin to be worked on. After all, I saved this project since 2019 or 2020 I think.
Well, rest in peace, Svend.
