Personal Narratives & Creative Expression

Reflecting on the evolution of my RPG projects, from the early RPG2000 creations to the halted development of “Leomorn Sword” in RPGVX, I’ve discerned recurring themes that echo throughout each iteration. Central among these is the motif of family ties, particularly the protagonist’s relationship with their brother and the presence of a “formidable weapon.” Whether it’s Lheon or Leomorn, the brother figure plays a pivotal role, depicted as a mercenary or a Gemma Knight apprentice. This motif mirrors my own experiences, as my brother embarked on university studies during the genesis of these projects. As the projects unfolded, themes of familial expectations and self-discovery emerged, with protagonists grappling with their legacies and forging their own paths. “Leomorn Sword,” in particular, delves into the protagonist’s journey of solitude and resilience, echoing personal experiences of navigating transitions and upheavals. Through game development, I’ve found a medium to explore and process my own narrative, intertwining life experiences with creative expression.
