Devlog 10/5/2020 Part 1
So I chose to do a devlog this Monday instead of Friday because I will be very busy that day. Besides, this is a rather long devlog, so it will be split into two parts.
Today, we are talking about the lore of Pixel Sports. Now when you first start playing the game, you will see a short cutscene where two disembodied voices are discussing something about a recent incident, and later on Boris tasks you with a dangerous secret mission to steal this so-called âSword of the Universeâ.
Now, I usually request reviews of Pixel Sports to other people to see what they think of the game, and the results are admiringly positive. Thank you guys! Anyways, one of those people that made those reviews was @ManiacPumpkin, and he made a rather interesting comment about the story of Pixel Sports:
No no, he has a point. Pixel Sportsâ story is a bit melancholy.
There is an entity named Master and his assistant Demon who created the Universe in order to help the Cubes who were âin a pit of â â â â â. He also gave those Cubes full freedom. While freedom is good, and was one of the building blocks of many democracies, those Cubes kind of took advantage of their freedom, much to Masterâs disappointment. He hid himself away from the rest of the world, and threatened to destroy the Universe if another âincidentâ occurred.
Now you, the player, is tasked by Boris to steal the Masterâs weapon, the Sword of the Universe, in order to delay the Masterâs plans. To gain access to the rest of the story, well, youâll need to be sneaky and pay attention to details. If you succeed, then youâll confront the Final Boss: the Master himself. Although he might be rather weak, his boss fight is long, has two phases, and requires a Level 5 Hero or above to even pass the first phase. This means you need to REALLY grind in the game for you to even get to the hardest part of the fight.
If you defeat the Final Boss, the Master apologizes for his aggressive behavior and decides to teleport you back to the main game. This will reward you with LOTS of coins and diamonds, a free level-up, and a secret outfit.
So that is pretty much what the story of Pixel Sports is. It is the tragic tale of an entity creating a world for his people, only for his trust to be snatched out of his hands (even though he technically doesnât have any) and smashed it into bits in front of his very eyes, and then taking to extremes to alleviate his anger. Then comes a hero, who shows him that his behavior, while sympathetic, is unacceptable. But what if I told you that there was a hidden meaning to this story? Pixel Sportsâ secret story is secretly telling another one. What is that hidden meaning? Well, just wait next week. Or Friday. Or perhaps it might come tomorrow? It depends on if I have time. But youâll get it soon enough, if youâre patientâŚ
