2020 Spring Showcase/Presentations/Nightingale Labs

This will be information regarding Nightingale Labs's showcase at the 2020 Spring Showcase. Each game was revealed daily over the week on pre-days, with the exception of the final project, which was revealed on the 21st on the first day. SHOWCASE IS DONE
==Kaila's Daughter==
Kaila's Daughter is the spiritual successor to the original God of War, themed after Polynesian mythology and will revolve around corrupt gods being the antagonists. Featuring unique weapons that are based after the Gods and inspirations from Shadow of the Colossus, this game also steps in by having a all-original cast of Gods, instead of being derivative from real ones. Unlike most character action games, this game is not a linear action-adventure game, as the game is spread across open world continents instead of linear stages.
===Trailer===
The trailer opens up with a view of the continent of Recera, the first continent in the game
"Our world is ruled by the eight different gods of various elements and powers, protecting our lands from danger."
The next scene shows Nyselia, the main protagonist, viewing a meadow over Recera.
"But eventually, this sight is what I feared, something, was going to change..."
The scene shows Nyselia, finding two mysterious rainbow flower bracers, only to have a spirit absorbed into her before being able to grab them.
"This soul, lets you use the powers of the Gods as you go along in your journey. You will need it to be able to continue on your journey to restore balance to the world.
The next scene shows gameplay; Nyselia using the Flowers of Kaila against several beast monsters that function like the Blades of Chaos from the original God of War.
The following scenes shows Nyselia exploring through various lands; a savanna land, a desert land, and a rainforest land.
"The land, is in grave danger. You have to use the Goddess you have to be able to end the conflict between them.
The final scene shows Nyselia facing towards Jarb, the God of Earth, the first major boss in the game which is much more larger than her.
The trailer ends with the logo.
===Information===
In this game, you'll explore through different continents of the world fighting through werebeasts and in the end of each continent fight against a corrupt God. All of the corrupt gods are notably large and are inspired by the likes of Shadow of the Colossus. You gain new weapons and abilities from defeating the bosses as well, so there's no grinding for new weapons or equipment in this game. You can unleash the Elemental Augmentation, which augments your weapon to do additional elemental damage, and a utility move that depends on your weapon, such as blocking attacks, etc. You also gain stronger by fighting well, as you can berserk through combat. But unlike other games, the berserk activates instantly and stacks up to 3 times, giving additional buffs as the berserking goes on.
==Sapphire Annabelle==
Sapphire Annabelle is a new fantasy superhero revolving around the theme of gemstones and crystals. This will be a action-adventure video game revolving around a superheroine who is capable of harnessing the power of crystals that can shift into various polarities to take down her enemies. From her home planet of Crystalite in the kingdom of Crystalia, she must take her battle against the forces of evil to the cosmic realms.
===Trailer===
The trailer opens up with a view of the galaxy, before zooming down on planet Crystalite, surrounded by an icy ring.
The camera zooms through various areas of the kingdom of Crystalia, before eventually stopping at the castle, showing the main character of the game; Sapphire Annabelle.
"So, hello there. My name is Sapphire Annabelle, I am the princess of the Crystal Kingdom. I serve and protect for this kingdom. I am a new superhero with powers that you've never seen before, and that is, using my crystals to change into different polarities each with their own powers. Watch, and learn..."
The next scene shows gameplay of Sapphire practicing her crystal polarities; Classic Teal as the standard, Blood Red for combat, Indigo for ice. As seen, her main weapon of choice is the Blue Jade, a crystal broadsword that is capable of unleashing her polarity of choice against the enemies. Each polarity has various effects; such as Light Red for fire and Yellow for thunder.
The next battle shows Sapphire fighting against the Astrons, the enemies in the game, using various polarities for special abilities. 
"We will surely have our vengeance against the kingdom that we lost our homes to!"
The final scene shows Sapphire charging towards Oberon, the antagonist of the game with her Blue Jade and Oberon's Hauntizer, her main weapon/heavy sword.
The trailer ends with the logo, and then a "Exclusive for Nintendo Switch 2" message.
The afterlogo scene shows Sapphire pilotting her HexaCrystal, her main vehicle in the game through the city.
===Information===
This will be an all-new action adventure video game developed for the Nintendo Switch 2, meant to be something like a whole-new Nintendo take on the Arkham games or Spider-Man PS4. Here, you will go across various segments of the game, fighting against criminals, or fighting against the alien forces of Astron. There will also be stealth segments as well, where you use various weapons of choice. As you saw, Sapphire's Blue Jade is not your only weapon. You will get more weapons and polarities as the game goes on. You will be able to pilot the HexaCrystal through the cities of Crystalia, solving puzzles and various sidequests as well. 
==Blue Dragon 2==
Blue Dragon 2 is a thematic sequel to the original Blue Dragon JRPG, which was once a Xbox 360 exclusive which spawned two minor in-universe sequels. This time, it features a new cast who come across the Shadows, and then later bond with them and further their capabilities to the max. The plot will revolve around a supervillain that's aiming to take the Shadows for their own good reasons, a reason that is a "must" to them.
===Trailer===
"Xbox Game Studios Presents"
The intro opens up with a view of the land, with fantasy-themed music playing in the background.
The next scene shows the main protagonist, Takashi, using his own Shadow, the Drake, fighting against wild beasts, one of the types of enemies in the game.
The following scene shows a cutscene where the three main heroes; Takashi, Jett, and Fay are fighting against a army of robots using their Shadows; the Drake, the Cobra, and the Eagle. 
"These Shadows, are our only method of defense. You have no reason to make us hand them over!"
The next scene shows Takashi and his party fighting through the city of metal; the city of the robots.
"The world as we know it, has been relying on these Shadows for our defenses, and now you want to take them away?"
 The next scene shows core gameplay of the three main heroes using fast-paced action RPG, with the ability to switch out Shadows on the fly, each with varying movesets. As the game goes on, more Shadows are obtained.
The final scene shows the Drake Shadow using its hyper ability; the Blue Flames.
The trailer ends with the logo.
===Information===
Blue Dragon 2 is going to have at least some inspirations from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, acquiring weapons that function as sentinels but being able to switch between them. Each Shadow you'll unlock has its own secondary abilities and its own hyper. Up to 4 party members can be active. The Shadow cannot take damage but must recharge its magic by mana, which is regained by attacking enemies using regular attacks. Just like in Blue Dragon 1, you'll be able to use varying manas that consist of varieties of elements, so attribution is key to knowing which magic to use. Its also developed exclusively for the Xbox Series X, having been funded by Microsoft. 
==Splatoon Project REVEALED!==
OUT NOW!
This project is going to be a next-gen Splatoon game for the Nintendo Switch 2, released on the 10th anniversary of the first Splatoon game. It is planned to be the second Nightingale Labs's A-project after Grand Chase Chronicles.
===Part 1: The Premise===
The scene shows the Inklings going to battle in a 4v4 Turf Wars. Everything goes fine, until suddenly, another field is added in, and an additional 8 Inklings jump in, increasing the scope to 4v4v4v4 in a larger battlefield.
"Splatoon will return, with a bigger Turf War this time!"
The next scene shows gameplay of a larger 8v8 Turf War, with 8 Inklings on both teams instead of the standard 4.
"Hello, I am from the Squid Research Lab, and today, we're going to be talk about, the biggest expansion to the Splatoon world. One trailer isn't going to cover everything, so let's talk about it in multiple parts here. Let's go!
===Part 2: Exploring Through Inkopolis===
The screen shows the Inkling creator at a house.
"Inkopolis has expanded the amount of people going to the Turf Wars, so we've got so many additional as well; Echolings, Jellylings, Harelings, Branchlings, Eelings, Nautilings, and of course, Devilings. All of these species are based on underwater species. The Deviling is based on the manta ray, and the Jellyling is based on the jellyfish. You pick your species, skin color, all that important stuff. After this, we move on to the next scene, creating your home."
The next scene shows the Player Home, which is empty as of right now except for a bed, a drawer, and a lamp.
"This is your Player Home. Right now its kind of empty, but don't worry, you can customize it with various items that you can get in the game, such as trophies, monuments, and of course, bragging rights as well. You can get other things such as furniture or interactive items that animate, etc. Players who acquire your Player Card can visit your home."
"Moving on, we move on to the cities of Inkopolis. Believe or not, Inkopolis has expanded to a point where you can freely explore the city, not just a small portion of it."
The next scene shows the main Inkling exploring through the streets of Inkopolis, with a mini-map indicating where is what.
"Speaking of transportation, you can also transport to other cities as well; Octopia, which stars the Moonsong Garden, a electronic/nature idol duo consisting of Bleu and Luna, Gladiusburg, which stars the Beatlings, the FIRST Splatoon male idol duo and focuses more on rock music; consisting of Dara and Finn, both Echoling dolphins. Akrasville returns with Felice, no introduction needed. The only thing different is that the references and easter eggs that you can find in each city are different, and that the shopkeepers are different for each city, as they each have different lines but sell the same items. That also goes for the Gear Specialist Spyke in Inkopolis.
"Now, its time to get started on Regular Battles so you know what to do to become the next Turfmaster. Regular Battles have expanded more than just Turf Wars, because now you can play Splattle Royale, which is based on the mode from Fortnite where it is every squid for himself, and now you can play 8v8 Turf Wars; Turf Wars but with 2x the Inklings and a larger battlefield. Or if you wanna play hardcore, we got the All-Star Turf Wars mode, where everything that happens (splatages, splats, etc) counts towards your team's final score, so watch out!"
"Moving on towards Ranked Battles. All of the modes from the previous Splatoon games return, but we got some more; Turf Raid is where you must dodge through the enemy base's traps to destroy their satellite to win. Then there's the Training Modes, where you practice your skills to learn the aspects of Splatoon play. You start from rank C- to all the way up to rank SSS. Don't worry, there's a safety-net for certain gaps, which means once you get to that rank, you cannot drop down below it after losing."
The next scene shows the Inkling heads towards the new Grizzco base.
"Grizzco is back in business this time, and now, its going to have a group supporting the Salmonoids. The supporters of the Salmonid, lead by Nautiling Saqa, has defected from Grizzco in an effort to protect that species. In Salmon Run, you can now side with Saqa and play as a Salmonid Alpha. Salmonoid Alphas have their own abiliites from each other, as their are 8 types, but they are randomized and control much more differently from Inklings. Depending what happens on the side, its either Team Grizzco or Team Saqa!"
"Now its time for the single-player campaign, the Alliance Mode. The Alliance Mode will date back to the events from the Second Great Turf War, and is split up into 3 campaigns following a different alliance; the Accord of Inkopolis, consisting of Inklings, Octarians, and Jellyfish, the Sealite Alliance, consisting of Echolings, Eelings, and Mantalings, and the Serene Confederation, consisting of Branchlings, Harelings, and Nautilings. Each alliance consists of 13 stages, but they take place on large battlefields and have varying tasks to do, such as using large weapons such as tanks or turrets, sieging fortresses, or defending against waves of enemies. There are three alliances; Rise of Shara (easy), Echoed Battlefront (medium), and The Shellendorf Campaign (hard). Each section follows a specific alliance and what they did during the Second Great Turf War. This campaign will not only use the traditional aspects of Splatoon, but also incorporate some strategy aspects as well."
"The good news about the weapons is that rebrands and reskins are gone, and you're now allowed to change your sub-weapon and special weapon out as well. You can even skip the news intro, which can be configured in the Settings and even change in the battle lobby, though keep in mind that you will not be able to play with the same team, instead you'll be rolled with different players instead, so pay attention. You can even repalette your weapons if you miss the recolors of the weapons. If you buy the Splattershot Pro for example, you can repalette it with the Berry palette, based on the remix of the same name.
"As to keep our tradition, we now have 2 team Splatfests and also 4 team Splatfests. During a 2 team splatfest, each idol group (not members this time) will be pairs with another idol group, being teamed up on a Splatfest subject. During a 4 team Splatfest, each idol group has its own team." 
"Ah yes! One last thing! You can equip 8 things right now; hats, shirts, gloves, pants, shoes, necklace, and two bracelets. To keep things fair, stat boosts (Movement Speed for example) are capped at 27%, or 9 slots. Each equipment can hold up to 3 slots each."
===Part 3: The Real Trailer===
The trailer begins with the camera viewing through the cities of Inkopolis. As noted, the cities of Inkopolis are explorable, and are not part of the background, as shown in the scene where the Inkling is shown running through the pathways.
Following that Inkling, the inkling boards the train, and later enters Octopia, the city of the Octarians.
The next scene shows a montage of various Turf Wars scenes; 8v8 and 4v4v4v4. It also shows the new Splattle Royale mode in action as well. As noted, the Turf Wars aren't just Inklings and Octolings this time, but also Harelings, Devilings, and even Jellylings as well.
"The Turf Wars are expanding, once and for all!"
The next scene shows the new modes in action; Soccer, Splat Raid, and even the Training Modes and the Arcade minigames in action.
"Are you ready, to become the next Turfmaster?"
The trailer ends with the four Inklings awakening their hyperweapons, and then a full-on still scene of a 8v8 Turf War scene consisting of the throwback orange and blue teams.
