So, any hints or thoughts on the story?

[Krissy]

Is it supernatural? Is it about good & evil? Does it trancends space & time? Is it heart felt & emotional or just plain explore & fight?


To me these days the story & premise of a game is just as important as play mechanics and immersion. Yes I do believe this.
Whether its finding your lost family, Saving your world from imminent & impending doom. Fighting the forces of evil.
Good stries are hard to build & maintain.

The best way I can describe the story is "layered".

There's at least 3 levels to the story... you'll experience the most immediate, and you can choose to dig deeper to uncover more, depending on how you want to play the game.

The world of Aquaria is a fantasy underwater world, so there is a system of "magic" that Naija uses... being able to sing to change the world around her and to change into different forms. That's one of the main supernatural elements and its also a major part of the story.

There are definitely strong emotional elements. How they come to the surface will be different for each player. Certainly the voice acting conveys a lot of the emotion of the story events, but there is also emotion conveyed through the music and gameplay.

[Krissy]

Music is also quite important. Will you eventually release samples of the tracks we will hear in aquaria. I have no doubts they are awe inspiring and just plain beautiful. Judging from the video. It sounds very much dramatic, emotional & omnipotent at the same time.

[Alec]

Yeah, we'll probably release some samples at some point. I'm not sure exactly when... I guess Derek and I should come up with a plan for that stuff.

[Krissy]

Yes, Indeed..I am very curious.

Does this mean we can expect multiple endings?

My lips are sealed!   

[Assault]

Fair enough. I'll take that as a maybe with a tint of yes.

[SBKT]

My understanding now is it's a very open-ended game, here.

What kind of glue did you use to seal those lips? I only have turpentine for dissolving at the moment!
