As a child I would dream up fantasy worlds, lands and places I can see in detail in my head right down to the polygons. But back then my family couldn't afford the right education I needed for game development let alone my very own computer. I have attempted to make games in the past but I always hit problems I could not overcome and such that even my determination and spirit to make began to wither. I'm nearing the end of my twenties and I seemed to have lost my desire to progress to my dream. I just hope that desire will return to me someday so that in the future I can be the next Shigeru Miyamoto or Takashi Iizuka of our time. That is very beautiful. I can sometimes relate to that. I have this idea about a universe I wanna tell about, but I am terrible at writing stories. Inspired by Warcraft, LotR and Avatar: Airbender/Korra (especially the art style), I've been making my very own high fantasy world. It has elves, dwarves, trolls and dragons and such. I would like to share it someday but worry it maybe considered just another generic high fantasy world like most of them are. Thats why a semi-anime art style is in mind for it in order to blend the magical elements well with the lore as well as appear more attractive and different.

But I'm sorry for taking this thread way off topic. I love talking about my ideas for games, they're precious to me, but I'm accidentally derailing the thread over it. That is all so amazing! I like writing stories (especially fantasy), and to be honest, what got me interested in writing fantasy stories was Sonic! And I love hearing what you guys have always dreamed about, and being able to relate to them! I hope someday I can share some of my stories with others! After all, why practice a talent if you don't want to share it? Sonic the Hedgehog ultimately inspired me to want to make games.

I recall when I was a child and wondering what I will be when I grew up, I tried making comics. But these comics were either Sonic fanfiction or my original stories were comics had video game like characteristics, such as an inventory meny and such.

It was from Sonic games I realised my ideas for stories were better off for games than just comics, not that I can't make comics these days. (Though find comic making a rather long task.)

But I'm sorry for taking this thread way off topic. I love talking about my ideas for games, they're precious to me, but I'm accidentally derailing the thread over it. You know. You and me do have the same ideals in mind. I for one have been working on both epic fantasy and Sci-fi action stories since 2012. Mainly their inspired by LOTR, DC comics, Halo, Star Wars and Sonic.

I must get them written one day soon. I've had two original ideas for game franchise.
 * Elevyn is my high fantasy medieval idea, set on the world of Dirth. Dirth shares some historical points with Earth, such as the Age of Dragons (Dinosaur time), Age of Chaos (After the meteor wiped out all the dinosaurs and most dragons, The Eldritch arrived on earth and monsters were born) and the Dawn Age (When the storms settled and life could return, such as the evolution of the thal and the alfen). One of the differences is that the major religion worship a white dragon instead of a bearded human like god.
 * My other sci-fi futuristic idea is called Vtopia and my inspiration was Metropolis and Headhunter''. Like GTA games you can freely explore a large city, but this is a futuristic city where technology in teleportation has become so advance that the most advance of machines and robots have been constructed in advance 3D rendering software before being materialised into reality. The protagonist must help a father and his little daughter escape from an evil corporation, seeking help from his three brothers.
