Hey all I thought I'd start with an introduction, I've been working at various game companies including Namco HomeTek, Bungie Software, and Ronin.

I've seen many game design docs which were long threads of unrelated "wouldn't it be cool if" statements. I decided I'd put together something that would be a step up from that and I thought I'd post it to this form considering that I'm designing with the DS in mind.

http://www.okita.com/ES/EmberScribe_CompleteDesign_2005-06-03-1955.pdf this is the Design for Ember Scribe a Fantasy spell casting game where the player draws a symbol to throw magic at monsters.

Go ahead and give the doc a once over, I'd like comments and questions. I'm not expecting too much from posting this since I don't have any programmers, or other artists, or even other designers working with me.

you can send thoughts to emberscribe@gmail.com lets me know that there's something specific to the design.

thanks!

I can't understand nobody replied to your post, your project design is a great tool of inspiration!

Has anything happened with this?

I like this idea. I like it a lot. IMHO, this could be a really solid reason for having the touch screen in the game mechanic at all.

i think it looks amazing. the whole idea of spellcasting with the stylus looks intreging.

let us know if your design ever gets implemented by any companies.

good luck dude

A game similar to this has been released in Japan. I forget the name of the title.

You might be thinking of LostMagic, sgeos.

Actually, it was released in Europe too. I have it and it's quite good.
