Ever since I was six years old and received my very first Game Boy Advanced, I have been fascinated by games. From capturing monsters and battling with them to exploring vast lands and having great adventures, this medium can transport a person differently than any other medium can. unlike television or novels, it puts you in the driver's seat, giving you control and investing you into the experience further. I have always wanted to create the same wonderful unique feelings and experiences and hope to do this here with the great group of passionate people I am working with for this project.

This is what we have come up with.

Finned Folk: into the Emptiness is a Medroid-Vainia style game with many twists and challenges. The player is on a mission to save his species from hunger and battle the creatures that lurk in the depth. The Finned folk have exhausted the fishing grounds near their home, the Coral Sphere, and need to find a new source of food. Surrounding them is a vast area known as the Emptiness, where many dangerous sea-creatures hunt and patrol. One particularly large beast, the Akurra, is threatening to eradicate the seal-like creatures if hunger doesn’t strike first. 

In this game, the player character is a strong and skilled fisherman who has decided to venture out into the Emptiness to explore and hopefully find a new source of food. He needs to use stealth to circumvent the many creatures who inhabit the vast areas of the Emptiness and skill to defeat them when encountered. They will find treasures and gain new weapons, skills, and tools, returning to the coral sphere to upgrade and buy equipment.

Finned folk will have unique 3-D characters, and an engaging story and take place in an alien, underwater world that you will want to explore further. The game levels will be challenging but fair and you will delight in the species you will meet along your journey.
