Hurricane Simeon

---

Hurricane Simeon is Shadowtext's current "main" RMXP project, planned to be an attempt to master some techniques of storytelling, graphics, and programming. It is therefore overly ambitious and a clear member of Club 20005.

Summary

Hurricane Simeon is the story of Simeon, a young man from the Gray Realm who must travel to Annwyn and prevent the biblical Apocalypse.

During the course of the story, Simeon will become the master of the Lance of Longinus, a Sky God, and maybe even a Hero.

Story

The story follows Simeon as he becomes a hero, and fights any number of spiritual and ideological nasties.

Characters

• Simeon - The lead character, Simeon is a half-American, half-British man in his mid twenties who becomes a far-from-reluctant hero.
• Alyson - Simeon's dour girlfriend.
• Maria - A mysterious spirit in Alyson's body.

Mythology

The mythology from Hurricane Simeon is terribly eclectic, and intentionally so. Because the game is set in Annwyn, where all the spirits and gods ever believed in are real, it only makes sense that anything would be fair game.

Battle System

The "Battle System" will be a part of normal gameplay, the game basically resembling a sidescrolling platformer, with gameplay similar to that of Terranigma.

Resources

Graphics

The graphics will be largely custom, and made by Shadowtext. This is yet another reason the game will likely never be finished.

Sound

The sounds will largely be MIDIs based on old rock and roll songs, just because Shadowtext doesn't have a composer, thank-you-very-much-Sei-or-should-I-say-Mr.-I've-got-two-composers-because-I-suck!
