GAME IDEAS

1.Chronicles of Zen
Mai Lin,a teenage girl in China, lives with her father on their small rice farm where she helps him harvest and bring the rice and vegetables they grow to market. Mai enjoys her life with her father but she misses her mother, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances when she was a baby. Mai Lin’s father refuses to tell her what happened or where her mother is.
One day, Mai Lin is picking wild raspberries when a strange man approaches her and asks her if her name is Mai Lin. The man goes on to say that he knows where her mother is and they must go find her now or she will be killed. Mai Lin hurridly takes the man to her father who finally tells the whole story of where Mai Lin’s mother is.
Mai Lin’s mother was a beautiful girl, the most beautiful girl in the village. Her real name was Qingqang, but all the boys called her Lotus. Mai Lin’s father fell madly in love with her ,succeeded in marrying her and they had a lovely daughter they called Mai Lin. When Mai Lin was just a small baby, Lotus was kidnapped by a powerful Japanese shogun named Hirowashi. Hirowashi took Lotus with him to Japan where he forced her to be his wife. Mai Lin’s father was too humiliated to tell her the truth about her mother so he kept it secret all his life.
The stranger, a Japanese warrior named Akinori, is part of Hirowashi’s army. He left the army because he was tired of Hirowashi’s draconian rules and abusive treatment. He found out that Hirowashi had grown tired of his beautiful wife and had ordered her to be executed so he could remarry. Hirowashi accused Lotus of being a witch.
Akinori traveled for days to find Mai Lin and ask for her help. Unbeknownst to Mai Lin, she carries a powerful ability-the ability to foresee the future-and she also possesses a powerful amulet given to her by her mother before she was kidnapped. The amulet, a small jewelled bird, must be opened in order to defeat Hirowashi and bring her mother back. The only way to open the amulet is to find Lotus and have her say the incantation that will open the bird’s wings and free her.
Akinori and Mai Lin leave on a journey to bring back Lotus. Along the way, they will meet many people and animals that will be willing to help them, some for a price, others for free.
This will be a vast, magical RPG with plenty of characters and side quests. The game is won when Mai Lin brings Lotus back home and marries Akinori.
