. What we're going to show today is a game that is about halfway done, perhaps a bit more than halfway, and that we're planning to release sometime next year. We called it Project DREAM, and now it's very close to being a reality.*
*A video plays on screen as a teenage boy begins to speak. The boy is sitting in a badly damaged home on an island as his younger sister sleeps nearby.*
I've always wondered, what's out there....? What's out there beyond this place that has nothing left for me?
Boy: *he looks at his sister, a sad look on his face*
Before my parents died, they said there were dangers, that we could never leave this place... that everything we needed was right here.
*Scenes are shown of the boy wandering around, gathering food, fishing, trying to provide for his sister, but then a scene is shown of a terrible storm that nearly destroys their house and kills them.*
Girl: *looking into her brother's eyes* Edison, are we going to be okay?
Edison: Of course, Ella...I promise.
It was a lie. After the storm, I knew if we didn't get off this island, we were going to die there. Whatever lay beyond this ocean, it couldn't be worse than what awaited us here.
*The boy builds a raft, and with his sister, sails out across the ocean...another storm hits, he holds her close.... the raft washes up on shore and the boy is alone, nearly dead, as he is found by an anthropomorphic bear and his bird companion.*
Kazooie: Who is he....?
Banjo: He's hurt, we gotta help him!
I made a mistake. And now, Ella's.....
Edison: *sits up in bed* Where's Ella, where is she? ELLA!!!
*The boy realizes he's in a village full of animal characters, including Banjo the bear, Kazooie the bird, Tiptup the turtle, Bumper the badger, Pipsy the mouse, and a dog named Dinger*
Tiptup: Please, don't try to get up-
Edison: I'm going to find my sister!
*The first gameplay scenes are shown, the game seems to be a 3-D platformer like Mario but with much deeper combat, indeed the game in reality plays like a hybrid of OTL's Banjo-Kazooie and Kingdom Hearts, less role-playing elements than Kingdom Hearts and with a lot of Banjo-Kazooie-style collecting, after the gameplay scenes the boy is shown being brought on board a ship, blindfolded with his hands tied in front of him, a pretty girl about his age removes the blindfold and smirks at him, her name is Madera*
Edison: Let me go, I have to find Ella!
Madera: You're not gonna be findin' anyone, pirate!
Edison: I'M the pirate?
*More scenes play, showing a mix of human and animal characters in various roles, also showing more gameplay with Edison fighting alongside Madera and Banjo, Kazooie can be seen attacking out of Banjo's backpack. Then there's a scene showing a towering castle with lightning flashing in the sky, standing in the castle balcony is an ugly green witch who is almost identical to OTL's Gruntilda.*
Gruntilda: Find them, find them all and bring them here!
*Edison and Madera are seen standing in front of a shaman, OTL's Mumbo Jumbo.*
Mumbo Jumbo: Inkum bokum! *casting a spell that causes a wave of smoke to engulf Edison and Madera*
*Another scene plays, showing the two under attack from a pack of werewolves.*
Edison: Madera, behind you!
Madera: *barely dives out of the way in time to avoid the werewolf swiping at her*
*Another scene is shown of Banjo strumming on his banjo as Edison and Madera and some of the animal characters begin to dance. More scenes play, including a boss fight against a huge lava creature.*
I don't know if I'll ever see Ella again. I don't know if she's even still alive. But I'll never stop looking. I'll find Ella, or I'll die trying.
*Edison and Madera are sitting on a hill underneath the stars. Madera places a hand on his.*
Madera: I'll never stop looking either. We'll find her, Edison. You and me.
Edison: *just smiles at her*
*The game's logo is displayed.*
