Vakrian

Vakrian is a world I’m developing for a fun, loving, humorous, even ridiculous video game for kids from ages 13-25. The narrative so far, will be filled with funny Robots doing silly things like fighting with nunchucks and weapons that shoot random objects from their surroundings. Consider it a sort of Mario, MegaMan(hero qualities) meets Gundam and Transformers. Evil villains can shape shift their weapons to adjust to any environment when they are low on energy. They will shot random object like oranges, cakes ,toilet paper but basically anything they find at their opponents. Robots often play a limited role in video games because they are often seen as taking over the world like Terminators or replacing Humans. So, I wanted to create a simple funny game that helps the player empathize with robots. I want to give my robots truly Human traits, both good ones and Bad ones. For example, the original idea for my main character was for him to be a Planet Protector, Classic hero, who takes his job seriously and defeats the main villain. But I thought it would be funnier, if he was kind of a slacker, second best or underdog like young Naruto who also starts off slow as a character but realizes he wants to become the strongest fighter to protect his friends. The main protagonist will be using Absurd ridiculous Weapons like nunchucks and a soda gun.
