Kingdom of Tregoda Story Summary:
"You birth is a sin."
That is what I remember being told by people when we were on the run.
My family and I live in the kingdom of Tregoda where the Remo people are supreme and the Bloombirds are enslaved and oppressed.
This is due to the opposite being the case where the Bloombirds were in charge and the Remos were enslaved.
Regardless of politics, my dad is a Bloombird and my mom is a Remo. My mom marrying my father and stating that she was in love with him made a huge uproar in the Tregoda upper class society- not having me and my siblings.
No- their love that bore me and my siblings is what they called the 'true sin against humanity'.
Before they got married, they left the kingdom and have been on the run against the Tregoda people. Once out of the kingdom, they got married.
It has been many years since then and today was just like any other day- we were on the run. Over the 19 years, I learned how to fend for myself, scourge, anything that could be useful.
It was a regular day like any other- running around and making sure we wouldn't get caught. But today was different from the rest.
Show scenes of person collapsed on the ground, her parents tied up, and children tied up and scared, one scared and the other mad.
A sword is put up to her/his chin.
A soldier is seen wearing some armor, but not enough, since you could see his red skin. A Remo.
He starts to speak: "Well look what we have here. A Remo and a Bloombird got together and made some Parseflies!"
The other soldiers with him started laughing along with him.
The man continued. "How rare though.... pink hair. His majesty would love this."
"His majesty?" I ask, holding the sword with my hand. I tried pushing it away, while my hand started to bleed.
"My Son," A woman answered. The soldiers parted ways to welcome her highness, dressed in royal garbs, contrasting the dirt and poverty around her. Her red skin gleamed in the sunlight. "I have heard of some Parseflies having pink hair and heard about your family running from us. If you hear me out, I can help save your family."
The queen of Tregoda- Queen Riona. My mother has told me stories of her- pf her wicked demeanor and the way she would twist her words.
"Don't listen to her!" My mom yelled out.
"We can figure this out together!" My dad yelled.
I knew deep down mom was probably right, but the odds were stacked against us. I had to do something. “What do you have to offer?”
The woman smiled a wicked smile. She was obviously pleased. “First thing first, what is your name child?”
*WHERE YOU INSERT AND MAKE UP YOUR NAME*
“My name is Eve.”
“Eve. Such a pretty name. Your beauty is wasted here, running all the time. You could do so much better. Come to my son’s mansion and become his wife. You will be able to live a life of luxury and your siblings can come along as well, since they were blessed with such gorgeous hair as well.”
Lil sis: “Live somewhere else?”
Lil bro: “....”
“And my parents?”
“I will bring them back to the palace to get to know them better. I won’t have them killed or anything, just let them be around the palace under surveillance. It is our leverage after all- be a good girl and they won’t have to die. Plus, if you are a very good girl, maybe you will be fortunate enough to have them live with you as well.”
(I looked over to my parents. My dad was upset and in denial of the situation. I could tell by his face. Mom…. I could see it in her eyes. She had a sad determination and with that alone, I could tell what she wanted me to do. It was my job, after all, to watch over my siblings and keep them safe.)
“Fine. We will go with you. I know when I am cornered.”
Her smile became more pleasant to hide how pleased she is. “A wise girl. Let us head off then. I must get you ready to see him.”
The guard made me get up and put his sword behind my back. Everyone will then walk off out of the screen.
Next will be the narrator moving to the mansion, with MC narrating.
(I thought I had a shot. We all thought that. But we were just denying the inevitable.
You know, maybe it would be nice to live a pampered life. Never knew what that was like, after all. Why do we have to be on the run all the time? I know the horrors, my parents have told me so but….it would be nice to have a place to belong. At least for a little bit.
I had to do this anyways. Do what I need to do in order to survive, and if that means becoming someone’s toy for the time being, then so be it.)

Progression of Game
First Start
Title: Cleaved or Middleground
Team: 1 person
Story: Just a cutscene
Sharing system: None
Scenes put in: Prologue 1-3
Spent most of my time making characters: Eve, her family, etc. and playing with the software and making three scenes with dialogue. Named game, customized the title screen
2nd Try
File error, so I redid everything I had up to.
3rd Try
Title: Cleaved or Middleground
Team: 1
Story: the same
Scenes put in: Prologue 1-4
Spent most of time putting in the dialogue. Had a name input. Made guards and focused on putting NPCs in. Also played around by putting in sound effects into the game.
4th Try
Title Cleaved or Middleground
Team: 2, added Lucus to the project…. Novemeber 6th?
Story: same
Scenes put in: Prologue 1-4
Spent this time teaching Lucas the ropes. We worked on the name input mostly, trying to put in the delete button and having it be where Eve gets thrown in the air backwards It was there, but we made it more visually accessible.
We ran into our funny throwback error there
3.5 version only had it up to the name input, so the scene used to reloop. Called this Working Cleaved or Middleground
5th Try
All that work we were doing- putting it onto GitHub. We lost all the data due to issues but were able to get back a good portion of it: had the 3 dialogue portions but the whole scene me and Lucas worked on was gone.
6th Try
Same thing still. Just I added everything back in, including the 4th scene and Lucas’ edits
We decided when we moved the project archives to google, to call the game Hewground and decided to rename the files every time we made a change and send it to each other via Google Drive
9th Try
I add in two Locations: Map of the Kingdom and the Mansion.
After hearing lucas input and failing to do my own thing, I had the character walk, stop, and narrate.
One of the texts had no image of Eve on it.
We titled this Working Hewground 3
11th Try
Working Hewground 5
The actors were wrong due to google issues, so we had to go and fix things because it wouldn’t open it up. Changed some images for dialogue
12th Try
Working Hewground 7
Since I was sick during thanksgiving break, Lucas added in the hallway, parlor, and dining room. These didn’t make the final submission, but will in the long run of things
I also added in a NPC that only says blah
Lucas added in the quest system and struggling still to use it in RPG maker wheras I made some of the quests they can do. System not in yet.
13th Try
Working Hewground 8
Same thing as before, except in Prologue 4, we added in a battle scene
Prate saved us a spot so we can fix the bug where you move on to the next scene, so we can check it a lot faster
After this, I decided to change the Title to Kingdom of Tregoda, but you never see it in the game but in the trailer, you do
14th Try
It’s somewhere…. but Lucas got it to be where you can transfer to the hallway scene. That’s it.
