vlada, Thanks for the feedback. Im trying to keep my brief down to a paragraph to save Amit some time. I agree the future city is probably my weakest concept at the moment. I dont have much in mind yet in how it will fit in with the rest of the story. One of my main goals is to develop an IP that successfully fuses magic and technology. I want to reflect this in the towers design by making it an odd combination of old and new. Also I have a longer story in mind where they will revisit the future later on and develop it further.
I hope to have them stepping out of the magical portal to indicate that they have be transported from somewhere else. Maybe even have them on horse back to further drive the point across.
wasgodx,
I have an easy fix for that. They find the relic in the past and return but they find they've altered their time. The rulers are now the shape shifted reptilians disguised as humans and they worship the Blood God instead of a pantheon of Gods and Goddesses. The deities will be a major story element.
I like your idea but I dont think I could do that many environments in 4 weeks. Amit wants us to have 4 pieces at the end I believe. I will eventually develop the home city of the knights so to show the drastic changes that occur when they tamper with the time line. I plan on having lots of twists and turns to the plot.
So I have the ref for the mountain environment. Im thinking now I'll have a closer shot to the tower to show more of its architecture. The lightning storm would be off in the distance and the structure would be an over grown ornate gothic style. A lot of the statues outside and inside the tower I want are inspired mainly by Kris Kuksi. He combines classical with various other cultural and historical elements. I want to convey that the tower is influenced by all periods of time and cultures. So maybe it would be a little steam punk-esque?

wasgodx,
Quote:The variety of environments is very good, but it might break the sotry in itself? I mean, they have this objective and bang, suddenly they appear on a portal on a cyberpunk city in the future.. and then they go the past.. and they forget their objective :P

Their time > Priests to the portal > Prehistoric > Find the cure > Return to the portal > Return to their time
