Introduction: The game is called "The Magic Gate", which is a 3D, open world game for the PC and Mac that will use the the proven Unity engine. The player will play as a nameless knight who while resting in a village, gets trapped in it when the evil wizard, Crulock, places a curse on the village where an invisible force traps the village and the woods around it and the only way out is through an enchanted gate that no one can open. The player is instructed by the village elder to gather thirty fairy dust orbs around the village and forest so they can cast a spell on the gate and set them all free.
Description: The game is set in a third person perspective where you as the knight have to roam and explore the village and the land and woods around it to find thirty fairy dust orbs to open the gate at the end of the village. Once in the game, you go where ever you feel without restrictions. Meaning you can either get starting on collecting or just explore the land. You can also talk with the people in the village who will give you more lore about the world of the game. This will be done through text boxes. You can also encounter skeletons who are trying to stop your quest and you can slay them using you sword. They will take one hit to take down but the player can only take three hits before they die. When they do, they will be sent back to the village where they started but they will still have all the fairy dust orbs they collected before dying. There will also be environmental hazards like rivers, pits and snakes that the player has to avoid. Like the skeletons, even the player gets hit by these three times they will die and be sent back to the village. The game is targeted at people between 7 - 20 years old because fantasy and collecthon games are usually timeless and appeal to all ages. The story will be light in tone with friendly villagers who will have funny dialogue. It will have the feeling like that of a fairy tale with minor dark elements here and there.
