Welcome to the Project Clockwork Tumblr!!!
For any who have joined without knowing about the project, what is Project Clockwork? Project Clockwork is a game development idea that The1TrueAnon (that's me! ^w0) came up with back around March of 2020, after making some character designs after an earlier project made by some friends. Clockwork takes its roots from old cartoons, as well as many other games I've seen and been inspired by throughout my lifetime, and a few other fan-made projects by other creators (Bendy and Boris in The Inky Mystery by ThisAnimatedPhantom and Mercowe, Ink Weilders Mystery by Aura and others, and Bendy and Boris: The Quest for the Ink Machine by TheGreatRouge, for example). This project will mainly consist of the game Clockwork, though there are also ideas for a prequel comic (Potions, focusing on Witchita's story before her fall), and possibly 2 sequel games (Fantastic, centered on Eleanor - Fanta's character - and others that might not have gotten quite as much of a spotlight as wished in the first game, and a currently unnamed third game, based on the story of the Muses during the time of Clockwork's events). Clockwork will focus on the story of a city by the same name, run by the power of a very powerful magic artifact, and figure-headed by three toons: the Timepieces Bilbo, Bunni, and Anon. It will tell of their - and their Protectors', Minchy and Marisa - tale to stop the fallen Muse Witchita from taking the precious artifact that runs their city, while learning the previously hidden truths about their world and the magic they are a part of.
Why such deep sharing of details for this project? Promotion is obviously the most known reason, but there's much more to it than that. This blog, as well as other social media and such for Clockwork, aren't just promotion for the game, actually! As a kid invested in video games and how they are built/created, I've wanted to have a game that was involved deeply in the fan-base, so that I didn't feel like I was going into my own journey of game-building on my own! While there are possibly games out there, I've still gone about this myself, so I figured I'd build this scenario for a later kid like me! Also, I love this new world I've started, but I've loved even more the involvement of my friends and even some of my family! Every character in Clockwork has someone they were built off of, someone who made a character, who I then adapted into this version (with permission, of course!)! And while I love exploring this world and building with with my friends, I want to share it with the rest of you guys too! So this project is to see what we can all do together, with something that's started, but is ready to be built! I'm hoping that this form of community project won't just result in a cool game, but an amazing world built by all of us! So, I'm hoping that this experience will be a fun, new way to build up something new that I randomly came up with based off a couple similar stories and a few doodles I drew in the spring before 2020 quarantine! XD I can't wait to see what happens along this ride!
So, without further ado,
Welcome to Project Clockwork!!
