Happy New Year's everybody! Life's been busy for me, so I haven't had much time to work on my project. I have been working on the story recently. I recently came across a story that's really inspired me.
"What's the story?" you might ask. I could just tell you, but that's no fun. Instead, I thought of creating a riddle for you to figure out. Here's the riddle of the story that's inspiring the story of my game:
Who Am I?
I am referenced by the following works
- Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
- Chaucer: (Once in the Canterbury Tales, and referenced again in a lesser known work of his)
- Shakespeare (one of the characters in my story is referenced in one of his more famous works)
- Nietzsche
- My story is a brutal satire of the clergy, nobility, and the feudal system.
- Walt Disney tried to adapt my work, but gave up because I would be too dark a main character for children. Furthermore, my story was also too violent for children. Instead, they made an animated film that’s partially based on my story.
- The Nazis tried and failed to use me for their propaganda.
- The Catholic Church did use my story as propaganda against a proto-Protestant movement.
- My tale was so famous that my name eventually became the standard term for my species, replacing the Latin word for it.
- There’s an animated movie of me that’s eight months older than Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs film. It is the sixth oldest animation film to have ever been created.
- One author of one of my many stories went by the name "Heinrich der Glïchezäre", a name that translates to “Henry the Hypocrite”.
P.S: For those of you who've figured out the riddle - This character would make for a fantastic villain, wouldn't you agree? ;)
