ABOUT THE GAME
"Mythic Tails: Cursebreaker's Odyssey" takes players on an incredible journey through the mystical realm of Ethoria. The game offers two intriguing prologues, each featuring a unique protagonist with their own gripping story. In this RPG-style game, players become heroes tasked with breaking the curse and saving the land of Ethoria. Throughout the game, players encounter mythical creatures, each plagued with unique curses, and must decide between saving the creatures or confronting the evil being behind the curse.
CHARACTERS
Alara, The Cursed Guardian
In the first prologue, players assume the role of Alara, a young guardian chosen by the Spirit of Balance. With her special abilities to connect with creatures and wield the latent magic of the land, Alara is the last hope to break the curse cast by the power-hungry sorceress, Aveline. Guided by the Spirit of Balance, Alara faces crucial choices, including whether to help a suffering forest spirit named Elowen in her quest for the Radiant Bloom. The decisions players make shape Alara's path, her abilities, and her ultimate showdown with Aveline.
Nyx, The Lost Cursebearer
The second prologue puts players in the shoes of Nyx, the enigmatic Lost Cursebearer. Nyx roams Ethoria, haunted by visions and possessing dark magic. With no memory of their past, Nyx believes they hold the key to breaking the curse. Players must make a pivotal decision when confronted by a cursed creature begging for release. Nyx can choose to continue their solitary pursuit of the Tear of Radiance or show compassion to the creature and gain a powerful ally. As Nyx's powers grow their destiny hangs in the balance.
About the Project
Hey there! My name is Chelsea Quindipan and I'm thrilled to present "Mythic Tails: Cursebreaker's Odyssey," a passion project born during my time at the Software Engineering Bootcamp at BrainStation. As a huge fan of video games, I wanted to create something special that brought back the charm of those classic story-driven and choose-your-own-adventure games that enchanted us in the past. As part of my Software Engineering Bootcamp at BrainStation, this project serves as my final Capstone endeavor, combining my technical skills and creativity to bring this fantasy world to life.
What Inspired Me
You know, there's something magical about games that have straightforward mechanics yet offer an engaging and immersive storyline. The nostalgia of those old-school games stuck with me, and I knew I had to pay tribute to that unforgettable experience. Thus, "Mythic Tails: Cursebreaker's Odyssey" came to life!
Technologies Used
To make this enchanting universe a reality, I dived into modern web technologies. I used React for building interactive user interfaces, while on the backend, I harnessed the power of MySQL, knex.js, and Node.js for seamless data management and real-time interactions. And, of course, Express.js served as the backbone for handling server-side operations.
Let me tell you, crafting the stories and designing branching paths that link to various endings was both thrilling and challenging! As a Full Stack Software Engineer, this project was a defining moment for me, stretching my creativity to new heights.
