Entry 000 - Hello World!

Hello people!
My name is João Moura and I will be the Game Designer of our first project, "Hellevator".
Our group is composed of three members, myself, Rodrigo Pereira as the Game Developer and Valeriya Haponyuk as the Game Artist.

Hellevator is going to be a 2D platformer about a little girl who was in Purgatory and was wrongfully accused, just because she decided to do some gambling with a few of her classmates, so she ended up being thrown in the wrong elevator, which sent her to Hell.
There, she is going to try to escape the seven rectangles of Hell, which resemble the looks of an Hotel, get back to Purgatory and be sent to Heaven. Each rectangle is going to be the home of many demons and will also be ruled by one of the seven deadly sins, whom will try to stop her ascent, so she must win against them in a game of cards.

We took some inspiration from, well, the Seven Deadly Sins, which we based on the well known list that the Pope Gregory I revised; Death Parade, an anime that depicts an interesting form of how Purgatory could look like; some well-known 2D platformers, like Shovel Knight, Fez and Braid and last but not least the card game Blackjack, which is, somehow, going to be our main fight mechanic.

For now we don't have that much more information to give you but we will keep you good looking people updated, with at least one weekly post, so stay tuned for those.
