Genies & Gems Story - Coggle Diagram

- - - - What are their motivations? What is their mission?
        
        Why are they collecting treasures/gems/glyphs?
        
        Who is after them?
        
        Why are they collecting genies?
    - - Is the player Jenny or a bystander going along with their adventure?
      - Is the player a normal human or a genie?
  - - - Palace
      - Desert
      - Marketplace
      - Seaport
        
        This could be used as a jumping off point for going to different locations
  - - - Need to introduce that there are multiple genies in this world because audience in unfamiliar with this concept
  - - - After these 5 images, the world can be more open-ended since their traveling has begun
- - - - Could each gem represent a genie?
      - Each gem represents an element that is associated with a group of genies
    - - The conflict has to allow Jenny & Trix to begin traveling to many different locations in the world.
        
        Maybe there is an evil genie that is trying to "collect" all of the genies to become all powerful with more wishes
        
        The evil genie has gone around and trapped all of the genies in lamps and hid them in different locations around the world.
        
        but why has he hid them?
        
        Maybe the evil genie wants to be the "only genie" or the most powerful genie. So he trapped all of the other genies in lamps and banished them all across the world.
        
        Jenny travels around the world to free each of the genies
    - - Meeting new Genies
        
        Do the new Genies join Jenny & Trix on their journey? Or do they stay in there "home" location?
        
        Can the genies be "collected"?
        
        Could we have a "Genie Library" where the player can see all of the new genies they have "collected" in the game? (Like a Pokedex)
        
        Why is Jenny & Trix meeting new Genies?
        
        To save them/rescue from something
        
        They were already friends from before but became separated. They are trying to reunite the friends.
        
        Just making new friends
        
        Trying to collect all of the Genies together for a cause?
        
        What if each location has a new genie?
        
        Genie can have characteristics of that location and have powers that are compatible
        
        EX: Duffy & Friends: Each location Duffy visits, he makes a new friends who has a new "talent" (Story is told in 5 simple art vignettes)
        
        Japanese Anime: Magi has a story concept where the main character travels around the world looking for "Dungeons" that are protected by a Genie. If the challenger conquers the dungeon, they befriend the Genie and they live inside the challenger's weapon. The Genie can be summoned to give the owner magical powers during battle.
        
        A location tied with a new genie may give each location more character
        
        Need to establish that there are multiple genies at the beginning so we don't confuse the audience
        
        What if each gem represents a new genie?
        
        As the player keeps going in levels, do they unlock new genies?
        
        If there are only a limited amount of genies, what happens when they are all collected?
        
        Thinking long term, is it better to be able to keep adding new genies without being restricted by the number of different gems?
        
        Does each genie/gem represent a different natural element?
        
        Do the genies have different powers?
        
        Do these different powers affect the game play?
        
        Are all of the genies for each gem a good genie?
        
        Is there a bad genie?
        
        Are the genies trapped within the gem and Jenny has to rescue them?
        
        Maybe the genies are trapped in the lamp and Jenny & Trix are trying to rescue them
        
        What if each color gem represents a natural element and each genie is assigned to an element? (Pokemon)
        
        What are the characteristics of these new genies?
        
        Maybe they have powers/personalities associated to each new location
        
        Maybe like the characters associated with astrological signs
        
        Anamorphic
        
        EX: Sphinx-like genie for desert/pyramid area
        
        Human-like
      - Animals/Creatures we meet at every new location?
        
        May be difficult to tell this story in one image unless we establish it at the very beginning
        
        Would this make the story too complex?
      - Jenny & Trix (main)
        
        What are their personalities?
        
        Do we introduce their back story?
- - - - Each portion they uncover could be a set number of levels and could be represented by a region/climate/environment: Desert, Ocean, City, Oasis, Cave, etc.
        
        While the player is in that specific region, the key art will reflect that specific environment
        
        The genie that player collects could have a characteristic associated with the main natural element in that region (ex: Desert = earth powers, Ocean = water powers)
