·The UNIQUE Gem.

THE GEM MONTHLY ISSUE #2

Paco Reading, Just Reading.

· OH! Hey there!

· It looks like we met again!

· Since the last issue, a lot of positive things have happened!

· AND THERE'S PLENTY OF NEWS TO SHARE!

· *It sounds like a RECORDER has started playing a message...*

· So, I propose we do something together, dear reader.

Oh. THE GEM, Again.

· Imagine you're about to delve into a new, unknown world.

· Now imagine you're at a key location.

· You unplug your ears and hear this SONG:

· The Title Screen!

A cool Title Screen...

· And this, my dear reader friend, is the MAIN THEME of the game!

· Composed by Elijah Rulz, who was eager to work on the soundtrack as soon as I contacted him!

· That's Elijah!

E: Hello There, I'm Elijah!

· Also, don’t miss a cool interview at the end!

· Getting back to the point...

· After listening to this splendid song...

· You decide to start a new adventure.

· You PRESS NEW GAME

· SELECT A SAVE AND...

· A dialogue from an unknown entity appears.

· Welcome.
· We imagine you're here because...
· This is YOUR journey.
· And...
· As time passes...
· YOU will discover new meanings.
· Everyone believes in YOU.
· Let the story begin...

· And even without a blink, another scene unfolds.
· This time it seems to be a kind of narrative...and one more SONG plays.

· At the dawn of TIME...Where NOTHING yet existed...

...

· At the dawn of TIME...
· Where NOTHING yet existed...
· A singular LIGHT birthed worlds.
· Upon reaching THE PLANET...
· The LIGHT bestowed life upon the HUMANS.
· But then...
· One fateful day.
· The LIGHT was shattered.
· Broken into countless pieces by an UNKNOWN force.
· This act left the creation of THE PLANET incomplete...
· And as the fragments fell from the SKY, they melded into numerous ARTIFACTS.
· These ARTIFACTS came to be known as "THE GEMS".
· Before long, the inhabitants of THE PLANET discovered them...
· And unveiled the immense power the GEMS possessed.
· Many ARTIFACTS were harnessed to propel the PLANET's technology forward.
· Yet, due to the fleeting nature of HUMAN life...
· THE GEMS self-destructed, leaving only a handful scattered across the PLANET.
· To this day, it remains uncertain if any GEM still exists.

· Woah, that's already too much for you, my reader!

· Don't think the game will be revealed here, what did you expect!

· Anyway, let's sa-

· !

· OH NO!

· I DROPPED THE GAME'S OST!

· Darn...

· Phew... Picked it up, hopefully in its entirety...

· (1, 2...3)...I think there isn't even one SONG missing!

· Let's hope our hero doesn't fall into the wrong hands...!

· Wait... WHERE'S LIAM?!

· *It seems like the RECORDER has stopped playing the message...*

· Uhm...

· That was not a good moment.

· But speaking of "THE GEM".

· How are things going?

· Pretty well, I'd say!
· The music, entirely by Elijah, and the new DISCORD server have sped up expectations!
· A great team is forming, and if things continue as smoothly as now...

· A DEMO COULD be available by 2024!

· Even though, the plot is a bit complicated to put together, obviously if you want to help, the link is right above, on that word in BLUE.

· Well...
·I've dragged on long enough, let me wish you a happy new y-...
· Uhm, some time has passed from there lol.

· So, happy February.

· See you SOON!

· And of course, I leave you with the interview between Me and Elijah!

· *It seems like Paco has dashed off to a highly famous TV studio...*

PACO INTERVIEW TO ELIJAH RULZ!

· That's OUR interview.

· P: Welcome back EVERYONE to “Paco’s Devs and Answers”! With us today is…Elijah!

· *Elijah magically appears*

· E: Ok.

· Ok.

· P: So, how did you meet the GENIUS AND BRILLIANT tomato, Paco?
(even though I wrote it up there…UH? WHY CAN YOU READ THIS?!)

· E: Well, one day Paco messaged me on Discord asking me if I could help with a game, and I said yes.
That was pretty much the start of it all.

· P: Whoa! That’s cool, even though I already mentioned how… :,)
So far, “MANY” people have been asked to know more about the game.
What should they expect from it?

· E: So... From the gameplay, art, and story, that I've seen, It's going to be a fun game with great characters!
Oh yeah, It might have some ok music in it too.

· P: NOW YOU ARE SATISFIED?! HUH?
So…Now a little question regarding the hero of this adventure, Liam, how you would describe him with 30 max. letters?

· E: Liam is a very complicated character for many reasons. You see, Liam-

· P: WH-WHAT. I SAID 30! 30! Uh nevermind.
What's the cool thing going around the project, what are your expectations regarding "THE GEM", you see a bright future for it?

· E: Basically everything in the project is something that I've enjoyed, or thought was cool.
I bet it's going to be awesome wherever it goes, (I mean, a demo obviously. Duh.)
And I'll be sticking with it no matter what!

· P: Aww...Thanks Elijah! Anything to say about this creature you've already saw?

· E:... I like to imagine its a duck...
It might be somewhere in-between being a duck and not a duck. (I swear if you chose the one with big lips, P: yup i did lol)

· P: Well guys, that thing it's " ".
YES. That's the name.
So, one last question before the GUARDS come here to catch US.
What was firstly your personal idea of The Gem without having info?
Or at least, how you imagined the game?

· E: Wait what GUARDS?! are we not allowed to be here or something?
Anyway, when I first heard of it, I assumed it took place in a desert and was about some sort of space gem that could destroy worlds.
(Maybe I wasn't entirely off???)
I Got a much clearer idea of the story and characters once it was explained to me though... lol

· P:Yeah, a sort of, Aaand I think i see someone running into here...Well, It was cool!
Thanks for watching/reading/listening everyone and thanks to Elijah too for the interview! Elijah.
WE HAVE TO RUN!

· E: Good by.

· *Paco and Elijah fled away, Bye.*
