I’d love to share the official cinematic trailer for our game LIRAI: Heir of Darkness.
This project has been a passion for our small team, and we’re excited to show the world the tone and atmosphere we’re building. The idea of the story direction inside this video actually totally came out randomly. But, I guess it works.
Hi @56legion The pacing of your video is great, it really kept my attention through the video. Love the feel of the story, it seems like it has a lot of depth to it and makes me want to find out more. Were you inspired by any stories, myths or legends when developing the game?
Thank you so much! Honestly, this whole story started from the weirdest place. I was walking around the park when wolves just randomly hit me, probably because I spotted some huskies nearby. But then my brain flipped it, what if I make the wolves a threat to the world. And I thought the opposite of wolves are the rabbits. Thus, it became an idea.
The funny thing is I usually lean heavy on references like images, videos, anything visual to spark ideas. This time though, I challenged myself to go completely freeform. Just sit look and let it run wild. I wanted to see what my mind could cook up if I let it wander without any visual guides. And it works!
It was a mess at the start, but when you organize the idea, it just turns out great!
I hope that answer your question.
Thank you again for checking out the video!
