ALTERNA ARCHIVE: Online!

-



🔻Let's see... Where to begin...

(Please bear with me as I learn this thing because I've never really done any sort of blogging before.)

Welcome to the Alterna Archive, the purpose is basically written. It's a casual(?) holding place for all things Project Oronia, as well as just... Updates on any other projects that I may be working on.


So. Project Oronia. What is it?

Oronia is a bit of a long festered personal project of mine that is mostly just a story comprised of 12 (not super long) parts. The original goal was to make these parts into Video Games (The dream of a 16 year old me.), but honestly I don't much care for the format so long as I get the story out there and hopefully enjoyed. I've been learning mediums other than game design to settle this desire. (granted I'm barely fit to be called a game designer anyways, as I have zero experience, which, I know, will immediately turn some people off.)


About me: I AM Alterna Enjin. Sometimes called Altenjin for short, Sometimes Takotenjin because I like octopi and think they're cute (also tasty), sometimes simply K or K+ because my oldest handle was Potassium and I found it a neat name cause I was and always will be a nerd. I highly doubt someone from a little place called Iwaku will ever make it here and stumble upon this post, but who knows, I am "Ser K+" as it were, I was a little cringe sometimes, I was young, I am older now.

I am growing to be a sort of "jack of all trades", though I really should have heeded the rest of the saying. I'm an ok artist with 2 years of semi serious improvement, an ok midi musician, a fairly good story teller, a budding 3d artist, an ok but lazy animator, an indie hopping voice actor, a cook, a kinda cracked gamer, unfortunately have friends, am also yellow belt, a-

You get it, I do too much, and as a result of not focusing on one thing, I'm ok at all of them. 

I'm trying to cut back a little...


I'm sure things will be a mess but...


I'm going to make a game, among other things. This blog is for documenting my progress, having fun, and kinda just life stuff that goes along with that. Please be good to me, I have a weak heart.

    I was re-reading this a few minutes ago, and it occurred to me that I've actually been listening to some of your music lately. Whenever I'm waiting for something, idly working, etc., I'll usually listen to a song I downloaded on my phone, and as it turns out today, I was listening to something you composed that I downloaded a long while back.

    From one composer/dev to another, I know you've got what it takes to make something worth experiencing. I'll try to check this blog often to see how progress is coming. Good luck on your endeavors! 😃

Ariono Devlog Months 1 and 2

Yahallo! I've been working on a "little" (Inb4 exploding in scale...) RPG Maker project by the tag name of "Seed of the World Tree" that has been casually making it's way into becoming a real game. January January was mostly filled with a lot of planning such as refining the overall story, as well as theory-crafting events and my ideal combat system for the game. This project was originally going to be a mostly serious spoof on the ever elusive " Project Oronia " (Primed to truly start production in Late 2025 Early 2026, though, If Ainoro becomes enough of it's own project I might push that back. Oronia is supposed to be pretty well developed...) This idea was back in 2022, but I decided to revive it in 2024. Ariono was heavily inspired by the adventures of a(n unfinished) duo character run of an Imperial named Sirius and an Arcanist named Ainoro back in Etrian Odyssey IV. It was pretty intense. There was this very interesting dynamic; A Impe

Oronia:Zero - Public Pre-Design Documentation

-
"Here in lies everything beyond space, time, reality, and everything else. This you would inherit. If only you would remember the name..." Classification      Oronia:Zero is a linear 2d action adventure game, closer to a hack and slash, that aims to have a playstyle inspired by fighting games.     The story and world is inspired by series such as The Legend of Zelda, Shin Megami Tensei, Drakengard,(to a lesser extent Nier), Etrian Odyssey, The X-Files, Dragon's Dogma, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Valkyrie Profile, Berserk, Zone of the Enders, The Cthulhu Mythos, Shadow of The Colossus, Final Fantasy- ... So on... to name a few , and also takes ideas from quantum theory, wave function and collapse models, as well as Jungian Philosophy. And probably more vagely... an eclectic mix of religions. There are some horror elements invoked but Oronia isn't a horror series lol. Despite all of this, the rating being aimed for here is T for Teen+ or 12+. In case you: The Reader, are w

Concept: Oronia Zero

-
Image
The concept for Oronia Zero is generally complete, It is a 2d action adventure game, with a central hub, 12 (or so) levels, and a small, cupable number of bosses. I have to get an idea of how often I'll be able to work on the game itself, considering that I am a working man with a rather taxing job and a lot of hobbies, I would likely need to allot time during weekends or at least spend 1 to 2 hours a day working on Oronia. Every little bit counts amirite?  Oronia Zero takes place in a psuedo ethereal fantasy world that spans multiple eras, only, in this entry, it's left in stasis. A world beyond time and dimension, as it were. "A world that has already ended ; A world on the cusp of it's beginning." " If only you would remember the name... " Now Zero in particular is itself in an interesting position - It can either be the first part in the series, or the last, both metaphorically and literally. Zero by design was conceptualized after I had thought up a
