Working Title: Waking Legends Wiki



Welcome to the Working Title: Waking Legends Wiki
How's about we make learning math a bit more interesting? What if we made it an RPG? This wiki is about the game, its world, and its mechanics.

Here's the elevator pitch:
Role playing games are fun. When done right, they're exciting, fast paced, have a good story line, and engaging mechanics that make the player keep coming back until the game is done.

Math, in the minds of many high schoolers, is not fun. It's boring as hell. It's a rote exercise in memorizing formulas and what numbers to plug into them. However, it's also a subject with the enormous potential for creative thinking and application.

The idea is to teach math in an engaging, thoughtful way through game storytelling. The tools that the player uses to move around, defeat enemies, and solve puzzles double as teaching tools for basic high school math in the hopes that not only will the critical thinking areas of the mind be challenged but that the techniques learned can be applied to real life as well as the classic classroom environment. A young woman and her companions live in a world where strange wandering leviathans are regarded as myths and spirits. When Jhana's peaceful civilization is attacked by an industrial war machine with two unknown leviathans in tow, she must leave her home to gather a counterattacking force. Along the way she begins to uncover the secrets of the leviathans' lost and often bloody past and why they're beginning to rise up against people all over the world. Using skills that she learns on the road, she solves real world problems with mathematics she learns from leviathans, friends and enemies. For this particular part of the project, the scope has been narrowed. I don't have the resources to design and program a full-fledged game. What I'm making right now is a vertical slice prototype. The goal is to teach basic trigonometry from angle measuring to the Pythagorean theorem using puzzles, clever visuals, and simple proofs. The main character has a grappling hook as their main tool for measuring.
