wk03 Final phase

The game is called Lexington Corner, a top down, turn based strategy game set in the City state of Lexington. Similar to Fire Emblem, the player controls one group of players, the military, and goes against an enemy AI, the Gangs of Lexington. 

 The entire game takes place in the rapidly expanded city state of Lexington, which has been created out of this white stone that is plentiful in the nearby quarries. Due to the smog created by factories and lack of order in the poor districts of the city, the white buildings have blackened, almost as if it represented the decay of the city due to gangs and industrialization.

 While having a large supporting cast, the main two characters are Lenox and the Beast, who only met a few times throughout the game, it makes Lenox unique since no one else in the military has seen the Beast and lived. The other characters also resemble animals that appear humanoid such as bird like people, and large Rhinos and Elephants. I choose to move away from actual humans with animal likeness and just going with animals with human likeness because I found it worked better with the feel of the game.

With the coming of industrialization, the City-state quickly grew out of hand and the government quickly lost control. Due to this, factories began selling their mass produced goods to whoever would buy them, creating a large black market that the gangs used to get their weapons and the citizens of Lexington used to buy protection from the gangs. For the most part, this consisted of pistols, but the gangs began to work with factories to get better weapons such as rifles and shotguns. This is before automatic weapons, but the guns created were able to have small clips that hold multiple rounds. By focusing on the Technology of the City, I decided to scrap my original idea of a world filled with transformation magic and instead chose to have a world where magic never existed and was more like our own timeline with animals being the main species that evolved into civilizations.
