Spooky Scary Fantendo Showcase 2016/Presentations/Inora

Welcome, , to presentation! While none of the four games announced here are particularly spooky, we hope that they delight you anyways. We recommend that you check out other paranormal presentations part of the showcase first, but if you're ready to delve into the tricks and treats we have prepared for you, please continue reading! 
Our Halloween tale begins with something rather scary in it's own right: a dead series. But not for long...
==Day 1: Spine-Chilling Style==
The first trailer begins with a beautiful shot of the sea, everything rather peaceful as the ocean blue waves go by. Suddenly, a large, wooden pirate ship comes into view.
::???: Finally, after years of searching, an island untouched by man. Who knows what fame and fortune awaits us, my crew?
We then see the source of the voice, Captain Syrup, leader of the Black Sugar Gang, looking out a large island with a spyglass. A massive skull-shaped mountain at the center of it helps to differentiate the island from others.
::Captain Syrup: I, brilliant explorer and pirate Captain Maple Syrup, shall name this discovery the Island of Bones.
As Syrup monologues, a Pirate Goom walks up to her and hops onto her shoulder, whispering something into her ear. Her expression quickly changes from pride to rage.
::Captain Syrup: You say you've heard rumor of someone on this island?! A short, grotesque man with a love of riches?!
Captain Syrup stomps on the ground, her face a bright red, as we go to our (anti) hero Wario, who is exploring a temple in the jungle as a massive voice booms throughout the ruins.
::???: GO BACK, FOOLISH MORTAL! ONE MAN ALONE COULD NEVER TOPPLE THE GREAT-
Wario nabs a golden idol shaped like a feather and suddenly becomes Thief Wario, disappearing into the shadows with a treasure.
::???: WAIT...where did he go?! 
Thief Wario frantically dashes out of the temple, holding a giant bag full of riches. He laughs to himself as we go into a tomb inside the temple, a massive, skeletal shadow on the wall.
::???: That fool shall not escape my island or my wrath...he knows nothing of the traps I've prepared for him. And anyone else looking to steal from the pirate king, Dreadskull...
Wario runs out onto the island's beach and looks out to see Syrup's ship. He growls and looks across the sea to see his arch-rival: Captain Syrup.
::Wario: Oh no...
Loud, tribal music plays as we see gameplay of Wario hopping across platforms in an open, 3D environment, charging into a group of Pirate Gooms shoulder first as Thief Wario, and then Wario alongside Captain Syrup (controlled by a second player) battling against the imposing Captain Dreadskull.

Given that the creator of Inora's username IS Sr.Wario, it might surprise you to know that this is the company's first Wario game. We hope not to disappoint you, though, as Wario: Style over Substance is a 3D platformer that blends the characters and humor of previous games in the series with gameplay based upon classic collectathons like Banjo-Kazooie.
The game follows Nintendo's iconic character Wario, as he explores the uncharted Island of Bones on a quest to collect and escape with as much treasure as possible. However, the island's treasure is guarded by the villainous Captain Dreadskull, forcing Wario into an alliance with his rival Captain Syrup, who is also looking to get rich quick on the mysterious island.
While the story isn't particularly unique, the gameplay does bring new things to the table. There's a wealth of treasure to collect, and he'll need to use his unique abilities as well as the help of Captain Syrup, who is playable here for the first time to get it. Another new feature is Styles, the game's namesake, which the two thieves can attain by collecting special Golden Idols.
These Styles, which range from the returning Thief Wario to new forms like General Syrup, give the characters new abilities that will change the game up. Wario: Style over Substance is coming to The V² in 2022, as part of Gear Games' Year of Wario.
That's all for today, but tomorrow will bring two new treats. Thank you for joining us.
==Day 2: Double Doom==
The next trailer opens on a black screen, as white text suddenly appears on the screen.
::YOU KNOW THE STORIES.
The white text disappears and is suddenly replaced by a new sentence.
::BUT NOT LIKE THIS...
The trailer then cuts to gameplay of Rachel driving through the doors of a large building on her motorcycle, before leaping off of it and looking towards something.
::TWO HEROES. TWO BATTLES. ONE WORLD.
Suddenly, the trailer cuts to footage of a monochrome hack n' slash game, where Crow, alongside a Cherry Note, are fighting through a wave of soldiers. As Crow slashes through the army, the bright red blood stands out from the black and white color scheme.

The trailer shows quick shots of Rachel in a fist-fight with Six, using light gauntlets, and Crow firing a flaming arrow through a soldier's chest.

The Lethalverse is a project I've been working on ever since December 2015, and although it currently only has one completed installment, the series has gotten a decent amount of praise since it started. We look to continue the universe in it's second phase with two new titles: Rachel - First Strike and Crow Versus.
The concept of giving Rachel her own game has been in our minds for quite a while, and though we ditched the idea for a time, we think that Rachel - First Strike is an excellent way to give the character her own game. The story is a retelling of Fantendo - Genesis, but with a lot of new content and twists, including the lack of Unten. The game is an open-world action title that builds upon the Strafe: Lethal Seven formula and adds various features to keep the gameplay fresh.
Meanwhile, Crow Versus is a much different game from anything the Lethalverse has shown off so far. A linear hack n' slash game with RPG elements, the game takes inspiration from martial arts films like Kill Bill. One of the game's primary features is the ability to befriend and battle alongside some of the unique foes in Crow vs the World.
These two fast-paced adventures will be headed toward you on The V² sometime in the near future. The fearsome fun will conclude tomorrow, so please come back then.
==Day 3: Alarming Aftermath==
The final trailer begins with a pod drifting through the blackness of space silently. Suddenly, a meteorite crashes into the pod, causing it to spin around uncontrollably. When it stops, it focuses on Zeon.
::???: Oh my god...
The pod flies towards Zeon at high speeds, burning up as it enters the planet's atmosphere. It crashes into a wide, grassy field, and the hatch door opens.
::???: You're back.
Zerita steps out of the pod, running her hand through her hair and adjusting her bandanna.
::Zerita: Yeah, well, I couldn't stay away for long.
The trailer then shows gameplay of four players controlling Zerita, Mioda, Kaio, and Sia fighting against waves of Grimebots and destroying crates to collect loot.
::Mioda: You kind of missed a few things, Zeri.
::Zerita: Nothing too important, right?
::Mioda: Well...
The four are shown exploring a giant expanse, as a massive mecha modeled after Doomulus Grime climbs out from the underground.
::Zerita: That sounds bad, Mi.
::Mioda: Ehh, nothing we can't solve with you.
We then see the players change into Plum, Boare, Queen Pixella, and Yazoka before charging off towards the robot.
::Zerita: Are you sure?
::Mioda: Pretty sure.

Following the theme of announcing Lethalverse titles, Zeon: Aftermath is a reworking of our planned Zeon game, keeping the same basic premise but adding several new concepts, both story and gameplay wise. And the biggest difference is that you won't be controlling Unten at all.
The game's plot follows Zerita, who has returned to Zeon after the events of Fantendo Smash Bros. Lethal to find her homeworld in turmoil. While Doomulus Grime's plan to destroy the planet has been foiled and his ties with the Doomuli have been severed, he and his surviving minions regroup as the Grime Raiders, looking to reclaim the planet and slaughter anyone in their way.
Meanwhile, the gameplay blends various genres to create a fun, unique experience. The game allows up to four players to drop in and out and take control of a wide cast of characters, each with their own skill set and upgrades, and explore Zeon while platforming, puzzle solving, and engaging in beat em' up style battles.
With this game, we look to continue what Inora does best. Taking existing ideas, anything from the Fantendoverse to the Wario series, and expanding on them in new and creative ways. We thank you for reading our presentation, and we sincerely hope you had a frightfully fun time.
