Week 9 - Interesting Story

After creating a few levels I began to realise that I need some kind of story to motivate the player, so I opened up chat gpt for some inspiration. As a result this is the background and story of the game:

Background

The game is set in a bustling city known as "Assistown," where each district is dedicated to a specific service industry career. The city thrives on the contributions of its skilled professionals, and it has been a hub of prosperity for centuries. However, an ancient artifact known as the "Harmony Crystal" that maintained peace and balance in the city has been stolen.

Plot

The game begins with the player's character, a young and inexperienced adventurer, arriving in Assistown. The city is in chaos without the Harmony Crystal, as each career district is now at odds with the others, causing social and economic unrest.

Your character's journey begins in the neutral district, where they witness the consequences of the Crystal's theft. The Mayor of the city approaches the character, recognizing their potential, and entrusts them with the mission to recover the Harmony Crystal and restore peace to the city.

Story

As the player progresses through the game, they discover that different service industry careers are somehow connected to the theft of the Crystal. Each district represents a particular profession, and the player must explore and assist in various ways to uncover clues and progress the story. The player's goal is to collect these 26 Crystal pieces by progressing through each career-themed level. As they collect each letter-shaped piece, the corresponding district in the city gradually returns to harmony, and the Crystal becomes more complete.
