Game Design Brainstorm

The game that I am making is a Role playing adventure game. My game is based on one of my favorite books Sabriel. In this game, Sabriel (the main character) sets out on a journey to the Old Kingdom to find her father.


(Old Kingdom is a place that is not like the modern world. It's very old fashioned and there is also...magic. Or more specifically Charter Magic, and Free Magic. Charter magic is controlled and legal magic, while Free magic is something that is supposed to be banned.)


Sabriel's father is the current Abhorsen, which is someone who can travel into the boundary of Life and Death, who's life's mission is to send back creatures and spirits that escape Death, with the help of his 7 magic bells.


When Sabriel leaves Ancelstierre to go to the Old Kingdom, she decides to go to the Abhorsen's House, where she finds Mogget, a free magic creature who is bound by Saraneth, the sixth bell, also known as the Binder. From there the leave to the castle. Along the way they fight creature, travel into Death, rescue a 200 year old prince, and figure out a way to save Sabriel's father from an ancient dead creature, that wants to destroy the whole Kingdom.



So the challenges of the game, is going to be rescuing the father, fighting dead monsters, dealing with Mogget's sense of humour (jk.), and restoring the Old Kingdom, ans saving everyone.

The game will be taken place in a land of monsters, that resemble an ancient city.

There are quite a few different characters in this game. The main character, Sabriel will be there of cource. Then there is Mogget, the spelll bound white cat. There's Touchstone, the 200 year old prince, that doesn't look a day over 20. And Sabriel's father, the Abhorsen. There will also be Kerrigor who is the ancient monster, one of the greater dead; and there are also the minor deads, like Dead Hands and stuff.


Question 1: The Game will be called Sabriel. In the beginning Sabriel will find out that her father is missing and that she has decided to go to the Old Kingdom to go and find him. The middle will be where she meets Mogget at the Abhorsen's House, and finds out the real story and has happened to her father, and who has captured him. The end will be where they bind Kerrigor in Ancelstierre. The player will have to find places, and fight monsters and use their mind and stuff. I don't know if there will be any puzzles involved at this point. To win the game, the player will have to successfully bind Kerrigor.


Question 2: The main character will be called Sabriel (I don't know her last name). She is human and the Abhorsen-in-waiting. She has dark hair, and an average build. Wears a blue surcoat, with silver keys on it. She moves by walking. She can use Charter magic, travel into Death, and because she is necromancer she can use the 7 bells, that she gets in the Abhorsen's house.
