Hey folks, I’ve had the idea for the plot of a thief centric hack for a while now, but i’ve never sat down and fully written the whole concept down in one piece, and i’ve finally got around to it. Below is the general concept and a little worldbuilding i put together.
(I hope i formatted this correctly)
The Age of Technology. The Dawn of Steel blanketed a world dominated by magic in the blink of an eye. The People once skeptical were shown that there was no such thing as “Impossible” when Mana crossed Sheets of Metal. Every stone was upheaved and thrown aside shortly after. Tripwires and Bells gave way to new developments, their past ideas of security growing and mutating into an incomprehensible panopticon of invisible eyes.
All’s to say, If you were a thief, you wouldn’t be for very long.
Alas, every Polyphemus has his iris, every Goliath his David. With the rise of more advanced technological scrutiny towards the criminal world inevitably came a blind spot. One place told only in hushed whispers to those with ears to hear it, the one place left unscathed by the new age of steel-
The Underground. The last remaining tunnel network of the modern thieves guild, and the last active contract hub for brothers of the Cloak and Dagger.
You take control of The Flock, A fairly well established brotherhood of Thieves, Assassins and Bodyguards for hire within the underground. Their founding member, Code-name Wren, is hired by a Nobleman to fulfill a seemingly simple job, no questions asked. What’s left unsaid and what’s uncovered from this job will set in motion a chain of events that threatens the sanctity of the entire underground, and the lives of those within…
I’m not super well versed in coding. I’ve taken a look through the febuilder documentation and I’ve fooled around with making a couple test maps, but that’s about the extent of my knowledge of actually making this thing a reality, as in all honesty, writing is my strength above all. still, i do want to see this idea become an actual hack, so I figured I’d put this out there to see if anyone vibes with the idea.
Let me know what yall think!
