Harvest Souls | Total Pebble Knockdown #82
1On this episode of Total Pebble Knockdown:
Imagine coming back from your epic adventure to find that you were a legend that existed 1,000 years ago. Now what do you do? Are your parents still there? Does anyone recognize you? What was the last quest you went on? We explore another adventure hook as Nathan leads Alex down a time trippy rabbit hole.
What if you took Stardew Valley and smashed it together with Dark Souls? Think about it. Now you don’t have to, because we spent time working out the pitch for such a game. What will be our farming/dying ratio? Let’s find out.
Perhaps it’s time to sunset the idea of the tragic backstory. It’s been a common trope among RPG characters for decades now, but it’s getting very boring. We discuss some of our characters and how their backstories were interesting without being tragic. Avoid heading down Crime Alley with us!
