Currently under construction. 

I am working on a text based Final Fantasy story to be released in chapters. 

The Crystal Philosophy: A Final Fantasy Story will focus on a world very much like our own. It is a story where science and magic coexist alongside religion, and various other social issues that we are familiar with in the real world. Many of the locations and characters are named after existing Final Fantasy characters and locations. The intent in doing this is to create a sense of familiarity with the reader. These characters and locations have similar names in order to invoke a certain feeling about them. 

The game is being written in Twine2 as I learn how to use the html based system. I was around during the Myspace era, so my familiarity with the language is pretty basic. Lucikly there are tools that assist me with producing. 

Currently this is a one-man operation, so there is no accompanying artwork or music to go with this project, until I can figure out how to produce/ include it. I have seen Twine games that get pretty in depth; this one, so far, is bare bones text and choice. I hope to provide multiple pathways for each chapter so that the experience feels unique. However, I do not yet know how to create a story where choices impact the overall narrative. Instead, I want players to get to the conclusion in different ways.
