What is Tele-Spirits™?
Tele-Spirits™ is a collective work that is inspired off the human experience mixed with fantasy, supernatural, spiritual and sci-fi elements. Tele-Spirits™ is based off real stories of real people and their experiences with the world in the form of a game.
Tele-Spirits™ is a multi-faced project that starts as a TCG (Trading Card Game) and will be built into multiple mediums, such as an app for the game, an anime, a manga, and a video game.
The foundations of what the first Tele-Spirits™ series will based on comes from my life growing up in South Florida in high school starting at the age of 15-16. I am creating Tele-Spirits since I feel that the world, we live in now a days is disconnected and dehumanized, and this project can bring people together and create opportunities to better the modern world that we live in.
The crux of Tele-Spirits™ is it is a fantasy universe where people can use smart phones to summon spirits from an alternative universe to do battle and engage in high stakes games that decide the fate of people’s emotional, financial, physical and mental welfare. The art is based on different mythologies across the world along with a lot of original ideas exclusive to Tele-Spirits.
Tele-Spirits™ TCG (Trading Card Game)
One of the first projects that is being worked on is the Tele-Spirits TCG. This game will be similar to other major card games such as Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic the Gathering in that it is a very in-depth game with a lot of complexity and will have competitive play. This is not just a regular game like a board game but rather an experience in itself.
The Tele-Spirits™ TCG is about two players who are using the forces of the universe to do battle. This means that they generate energy to call forth various spirits and spells. Two players will engage in a high stakes battle to decide disputes over who gets what. This game plays similar to other card games in that it has a resource system (the energy system) and that the game is designed to be tactical and grindy. This is a game that is designed to be competitive but is also good at creating positive values between players and builds connections between people.
Here are some samples of the Tele-Spirits™ TCG. This game is still in process and has not been fully released to the public. Date of release is still TBA. There is also plans for an App + Online platform similar to other online games (without microtransactions needed to play the game), which will not be started until 2024 as well.
Early Prototype of Tele-Spirits paper cards and what games will look like
Tele-Spirits Anime/Manga
Tele-Spirits™ Anime/Animation/Manga series
•Release date: TBA Late 2024/Early 2025
•Card game to be released first along with an app/digital platform.
•General ideas of what the manga/anime will look like:
-First series takes place in a town called Radipolitian, which is a sunny place with shady people
-Card game to be incorporated into the animation (series will be like a Yugioh/Cardfight Vanguard in that there will be tournaments and high stakes games that decide the fate of the characters)
-The main character is Max Power, a Jewish teenage boy born into a world of misfortune and tragic events that is left to fend for himself in an uncertain world. Max meets both allies and enemies along the way that define his place in his chaotic world.
-While Max is the main character, Tele-Spirits is a collection of stories and multiple characters will be featured.
-Episodes are mostly driven by the card game battles but there will be some that don’t feature it
-Each Tele-Spirits has multiple themes to it, which the first series some of the themes will be coming of age, friendship, the spirit of competition, and probably more that I cant currently think of.
-Down below is what some of the characters will look like along with their signature cards. Art is still not finalized.
Tele-Spirits™ Video Game series
This stage of the project is not being planned until 2024-2025, but here is a rough idea of what it will look like.
The Tele-Spirits™ video game series will be a turn-based RPG (in the style of a jRPG, think Shin Megami Tensei mainline games or Final Fantasy X and before). These games are going to developed this way since I believe this is a very underrated design style and this is a type of game that is still being played to this day (with Pokémon, the #1 grossing media franchise, being a turn based jRPG). I grew up loving these games as a kid since they are easy to play, require a sharp mind, and is the closest thing to digital chess minus the RNG elements.
This project will not be worked on until 2024 since the TCG, App and the Anime/Manga are the first priorities and are needed to have a foundation for this project.
