This idea arose when I was finished with my Rift Up custom map and was looking for another project. I noticed the dream journal I have kept since 2012 and decided that it was full of resources I could use to construct another enjoyable adventure. It's almost like a journal of ideas that I have had while unconscious.
The general premise of the map will be this:
A portal opened near your home and a being came through that didn't understand the way you worked. It accessed your mind and started learning, but this unfortunately meant that you were pushed unconscious. Your experience through this has been a series of dreams as you've explored your own mind trying to find the problem. You've been noticing clues and the other characters you encounter have been analyzing the situation, sometimes saying things when they think you can't hear. After you progress through all of the areas, you meet a projection of the being and are tasked with teaching it who you are by using the objects you've collected along the way. After the being understands, it withdraws from your mind and you wake up, only to find the world around you is different; the being has altered it with similar features that you found in your dreams.I'm planning Awoken to have a similar style as Rift Up, but the project is slightly more ambitious, which leads to my next point:
Development time for this project is undetermined until more plans have been made and my schedule is a bit more predictable, but I will diligently pursue this goal until more news comes about.
