Done le, rush until sick only to know that the deadline has been postponed. Again, it didn't turn out the way I wanted it but I'd give it a pass. Think I'm not cut out to do 3D stuffs... still can't believe I got only a credit for 3D modelling. Not expecting anymore this time... haiz...

Anyway, this is my 3D Animation project. It's a CG opening sequence to my made-up game. So here's what the 'game' is like...

It's like a tower defense game actually. An RPG Strategy game. The main hero is also called Destiny. He's a Guardian of a Sacred Sanctuary on Mount Alpheus. The Sanctuary holds a vortex to all dimensions. This great power cannot fall into the wrong hands, so Morpheus, the God of Dreams created an island only accessible in dreams called Cryptonia. He not only made it difficult to get to the Sacred Sanctuary, like making the Mystical Morpheus Mines and the V Stairs, but also made 100% sure it does not fall into the wrong hands, He created Destiny, Guardian of the island.

He's made from the stars and has several Astral abilities like manipulating plasma, means he's like lightning itself, he can move so fast it looks it he is teleporting. His movement are random, so he may end up slightly off target sometimes. Like how Man was made from dust, he was made from space rocks and his armor from space metal, thus his bulkiness. He has control over the basic elements like water and fire but his flames are that of the Sun, never dying, and water he controls can go below freezing point but always in liquid form. And lastly, he govern the forces of gravity, which he can also fly. He sounds too good to be true but he has a weakness. He is only most powerful on Mount Alpheus. Time and distance away from the Cryptonia will severely weaken him to the core.

That is how the story goes. As for gameplay, u start off knowing nothing of ur abilities cos u were just made. U get to roam around to learn more but as for now, all u know is to defend the island at all cost. There is a star shape radar on the interface that has a countdown at a random direction to show the direction of where the invasion is coming from and when it is coming. The objective of the game is to protect the island from anyone to anything that is trying to get to the Sacred Sanctuary. Using his Astral abilities and ur brains, to lay traps all over the island, summoning Elemental Beings as and when is needed. And finally maneuver through the Mystical Morpheus Mines to confuse the enemy.

The story continues to get more interesting as he learns more about the other world's technology and gets to upgrade his traps and discover new ways of using his abilities when people like u and me accidently drops onto the island. Ever had a dream of unknown monsters attacking you? Maybe u were in Morpheus Mines...
