So there I was laying in my bed, thinking about two problems that Illuvium has to solve.
- How is Illuvium going to connect all of these very different games (like an Illuvial Cart/FPS/MMO) to the greater story of the Illuvial universe?
- What does Illuvium need in order to really give Illuvials some personality and connectedness to the individual player?
Then it hit me. Ok picture this:
You are in the Illluvium Overworld as your character. You go over to area where you can portal to the Illuvial Cart game, and immediately you enter a cutscene. the cutscene starts with you and Moz4rt going about your normal business of catching Illuvials. You happen across a strange looking mirror Illuvial. You successfully defeat it with your Atlas, but when you try to capture it with Moz4rt the mirror on the Illuvial reflects the attempt, and instead of Moz4rt capturing the glass Illuvial, it reflects and captures your human character instead! You find yourself inside Moz4rt in a very dark place, pitch black. Then you hear voices of what sounds like people excited to see what was just caught and what new friend they will be making today. One of them "turns on the light" to the area and reveals all of your previously caught Illuvials staring at you. They gasp and scream with surprise and so do you! Your Illuvials can talk and they can understand you! They are as shocked as you are! You ask what is this place, and they respond saying that they are in Moz4rts holding area waiting to be summoned for battle by you! You are still in shock at how you even got in here, and that your Illuvials are talking to you, but then the Illuvials start to get excited and want to play with you now that you can understand them. They reveal that Moz4rt has allocated some programming tools for them to create fun games in this holding area while they wait to be summoned to the real world. You crack a smile and then Illuvial cart starts!
