Bafta young game designers competition

[Perseus]

It's going to be a 3rd person adventure game. It's still a WIP, the nations are basically set in different points in time. You start in a steampunk era (Victorian styled but with steampowered technology) and advance through the different nations starting with the least advanced, the Stone Age then the Ancient Greek Age then the Arabian nights styled Age then the Old Chinese Age.
You basically have to try and help the people in that nation reclaim it as it is being taken over by the leader of the Steampunk nation, who's name is undecided but we're leaning towards Desiron. The main character's name is chooseable, like the Pokémon games
You get given a steam weapon by the stranger, kind of like a giant penknife except that you win or buy the attachments and equip them yourself.
There'll be a main quest you have to do for each nation, which will take you around that area and you can help people and fight enemies etc.
The name we have so far is Uprising (though I think it might sound a bit to much like Kid Icarus: Uprising)
