Video games, particularly role-playing games, have long held a fascination for me through their intense storylines, stirring themes, moving melodies, and cutting-edge graphics. I have always believed that video games can be used for more than mere entertainment; they can be effective tools also for education and moral instruction. For this reason, I see this project not just as a game but as an interactive entertainment experience. The first step in the production of any video game is the creation of a design document integrating all details relating to the game. Role-playing games in particular require their design documents to include story crafting, event flowcharting, character generation and interaction, world building, graphical design, set-up and layout design, musical composition, a great deal of creativity, and intense revision. Since my early childhood, I have taken special delight in creating such wondrous characters and plots taken out of the fantasy and science fiction genres. Paradox evolved from a collection of ideas developed over many years. Recently, there has been much refinement of these concepts and encouragement from loved ones to take the initial musings and evolve them into a dream. My design document describes the game Paradox as a fantastical world of heroes, magic, and monsters, and also as a collection of lives and events exploring themes of love, friendship, good, and evil. I am at the point where my dream has the potential to become a reality.
