The Wandering Blade - Original IP Project
The Wandering Blade is a original intellectual property (IP) I created and worked on in both my Game Writing 2 class and Narrative Design and Leadership class, both taught by Evan Skolnick. Each student was assigned to create their own IP based on a previous game they have made a presentation about, and use that's games mechanics as a base while creating your own story, characters, world, lore, weapons, levels, etc.
Story/Mission Overview
Character Description Documents
Character Description Documents of three of the main characters of The Wandering Blade: Samayoi Yaiba/Sam (Protagonist), Asahi (Antagonist), and Alice.
Cutscene Blocking and Cutscenes
A big part of this project in Narrative Design and Leadership was working with junior writers, giving them material on your IP and assigning them pieces to write. To that end, I had written Cutscene Blocking Documents of the Opening, Midpoint, and Ending cutscenes of The Wandering Blade. I also have my own written versions of these cutscenes from Game Writing 2.
Opening Cutscene - Knights and Demons
Middle Cutscene - A Fusion of Wills
Ending Cutscene - A Final Battle at Journey's End
Lore Item Concept and Specs Documents
These are another set of documents I wrote to hand to junior writers. Based on these lore documents, junior writers were suppose to create lore items you would expect to find in game.
Barks Guide and Barks Template
Another set of items to be given to junior writers. Using this guide and template, the junior writers were suppose to write their own barks for the characters in the template
