My game concept

After about 2 weeks of struggle and some uninspiring ideas I've managed to come up with a feasible and reasonably interesting  game concept.  Explaining it going to be a nightmare as it is based on Lithuanian poetry and art.

I haven't got a title for the game yet, but the story is  about a 'boy' called white Nothing or Noone.  It is loosely based  on a series  of poems  from a book: 1985.Baltoji varnele: Eilerasciai. Vilnius:Vyturys written by Sigitas Geda (1943-2008).

In these poems Sigitas Geda talks about  a 'boy ' who usually lives in the sky with his father-Moon, mother - Sun and sister-Stars. For some unknown reason he is cast  down or drops down to earth where he  meets and interacts with real and  imaginary creatures while trying to make his way back home.

During his time on earth he has adventures under water, on the ground and in the sky.

Some things he does:

• herds fish in the sea and animals on land
• fights mystical beings
• has parties with his friends: crickets, fish, horses, sea donkey etc.  

How he looks:

white, might be wearing a jumper/shirt, boy, red ball , feather, tree branch.

Character:

playful, wise but ambiguous and undecided

Lithuanian musician Vytautas Kernagis (1951-2008) in 1979 released an album called Baltojo nieko dainelės ( en. Songs of white Noone/Nobody)  All the songs  in it have been created using Sigitas Geda lyrics.

Here is the title song White Nothing Song from that album.  (translated by me so might not be perfect) :)

My translation of another Sigita Geda piece.

NOONE FIGHTING FOR
THE LAMB AND THE SEAWEED

When there is a dark day-
No animal, nor a man.

Noone, dressed in clothes of iron,

goes to fight!

With a gold belt on his waste
and with sword that made of stars
Noone goes ...

The abyss
From flaming threads!

Wrapped in marine robes,
Thrashing in water
a five-mouthed, six-lipped
And with nine tongues ...

Noone will strike with his sword -
Sulfur will spill.
Noone will rescue the sun,
flowering marine rose,
fern, lamb,
silent evening for his Sisters,

shining little stars, healing herbs.

Then he'll sit down on the sand
and will lay his sword.
Cold sea water will start turning
blue from his voice

Extract describing the Marine Donkey

MARINE DONKEY

Marine Donkey
Can be very white, ears of lily
and slightly raised ... donkey, donkey,
Tell me why  you come?
Donkey, donkey,
Are you not afraid of the wolf?
