I had this concept right away after I saw Beneath the Surface as the theme.  Below is my original story.

The final Darkwalker wasn’t always alone in his struggle, almost 1000 years ago the phenomenon occurred that turned humans into either Lightwalkers or Darkwalkers.  Now Zin is alone to fight the Lightwalkers and he needs to find a way to save the human race or perish.  There were rumors of a device that could restore the human race but without the device the Lightwalkers relentless assault to exterminate Zin will no doubt end in death and the hope for civilization to be restored vanquished.  Memories of the phenomenon are so faint now that it’s hard to remember what exactly happened.  Zin’s last memory is of Emi, a recently deceased Darkwalker, and her death after being zapped with UV light by the Lightwalkers.  Emi’s dark skin faded away bubbling from the light, releasing her life force in a violent volcanic-like eruption.  Many others have gone the same way but none more traumatic than Emi’s encounter.  The Lightwalkers’ technology has advanced further in recent time to become even more deadly.  Sunlight is the last thing Zin wants to see, this too is a faint distant memory.  The life of Zin the Darkwalker is subterranean, moving underground or during nightfall from place to place hoping the Lightwalkers do not find him to catch a breather in order to give him time to find the device to end this nightmare.

I am using Unity, the AutoTileGen tool, Photoshop, if I’m able Spriter for animations, LMMS for music, sfxr for sound effects, and I’ll be searching for public script help but I’ll end up writing some of my own.  The picture above is the cave starting point.

 

I have no idea if I’ll be able to finish this but I’ll keep working on it even if I don’t complete it in time for #LD29.  I have a ton of artwork to do.  I wrote a song this morning but I think it still needs a little work, I’ve linked it below.

Good luck everyone!
