Part 2, continued...
Use the Free Roam mode to explore the current map/continent you're on.
This not only will give you a better overlook of the maps, but also give you time to discover hidden parts of the map where treasures wait to be found.

You can keep up to 3 types of beast that you can use in racing mode.

You start off with your designated beast, but can later buy two more types of beast for the diferent races.
You can sell the other two types at any time, but not the initial beast.

Note that if you sell a beast, you will lose all the progress for that type of beast and have to start from the begining.
This also means that races that were unlocked for higher level beasts will now be locked once more.
Plus you wont be able to race in the Extras mode, since you need to be at level 10 (minimum requirement) to enter the extras.

More about Extras mode:
Extras mode include many challenges, such as speed races, endurance or last man standing.
For each type of race you get different types of unlockable goodies.

When you win a speed challenge, you will unlock items that make your beast go faster, or have infinite stamina.
When you win an last man standing challenge, you will unlock items that will give you infinite health, so on so forth.

You can use these items in any mode, except for the online multi-player.

to be continued...

Part 1
Concept and story:
As a great fan of beat em ups, I have this game concept...

This group of warriors, once normal humans...
They followed the path down the cave and found a hidden world.

There, the Gods explained that planet X will soon cross earth, and that the fallen Angels were planing an attack on earth.

The Warriors started the intensive training.

This is where you first take full control of the character.
You will have to do a training tutorial and learn your moves, acording to the character you selected.
if you created your own character, then you would have chosen which elemetal force you would use, and the first beast which will be permanentelly bound to you.

You can later purchase two more types of beast.

If you selected a preset character, you can't pick your own initial beast.

They emerge out of the cave ready for the War!

Game features:
Select your character or create your own. Each with their own elemental powers, and the ability to summon a mythical creature.

Play solo or Co-op against the angels or on their side, or go online multi player, and choose your side.

Earn exp points and you and your beast will evolve, giving you stronger assets that will make you even better than before. EG. Dragons will gain stronger wings, talons, and teeth, and will have more powerfull fire breath.
Watch as you and your beast change in battle.

Enter the Arena mode where you can fight one on one, or two versus two, or even on a tournament mode.

There is also a racing mode, where you have to take care of your beast to win races.

Characters and features:

Blastar - He has the power to summon powerfull meteors, and powerfull knock out attacks.
            He can summon a Dragon which also has huge destructive Power.
            He is the strongest character in the game.

Sauron - He can summon devastating fire, and together with agility makes him a strong contender.
            He can summon a Phoenix which can regenarate itself and friendly units.

Storm - She controls the lightning.
           Her mythical beast is the Griffin, which also has the ability to summon lightning. 
           It's increadible speed makes it the fastest character in the game

Aqua - She can summon water in any way or form, including ice.
          Her Mythical creature is the Hydra which can also summon water based magic attacks.
          She's not as tough as the other Warriors, but her magic attacks pack quite a punch.

Wolf - He commands Earth powers, he can summon just about anything related to earth, including 
         Earthquakes and volcanoes.
         His Mythical beast is the Cerberus.
         Wolf is very slow in speed, but he has tremendous stamina and is very resistant to attacks.

...more characters coming soon...

Beat em up mode:
Has 4 Sub modes, the Single Player Story mode, The Co-op/Online mode, or Arena mode.

In the beat em up mode is where the story will happen, defend the earth from the fallen angels.
You will go through every continent on earth defeating the fallen angels as you go.
Then you will move on to planet X for the final battle.

You will start off with basic skills, like punching, kicking, and summon small elemental forces, etc... and as you evolve, you powers also evolve, along with your beast.
As you progress, you can summon more devastating blasts, bigger meteors or lighting bolts, and your beast will also evolve, the more exp it gets.

You can also gain Expirience points, and Reputation points by going on the Arena mode.
There is also the extras, where you get challenges like survival, last men standing, etc...
The better you perform on the extras, the better stuff you unlock.

Racing mode:
In racing mode, there are 4 sub modes. Career, Training, Extras, Free Roaming.

In racing mode it's all about your beast, however you have more to worry about than the basic, energy and power bars.
In racing you will have nothing to worry about your character, except for making it look cool, but you still get exp points, and performance points.

This is how it works...
You not only have to win the race, but the more cool stunts you pull the more performance points you get.

What are the performance points for?
Well, they are used to buy you and your beast cooler clothing, including armour, etc... the cooler you look, the more reputation points you get, which are necessary to enter the extras.

In the extras mode, you can unlock even better armour etc... which will give you infinite health, and other spoilers, which you can use in all modes.

Points:
There are 3 different points, Expirience, Performance, and Reputation.
The expirience points are gained through battle and races, regardless of your performance.
Performance points are gained with combo hits in battle or stunts in the races.
Finally, Reputation is gained through wearing cool clothing, Victory counts, Combo Counts, Flawless Victories, etc...

Bars:
There are 2 Bars for Story modes, Energy and Power.
There are 4 Bars for Racing modes, Energy, Stamina, Hunger, Thirst.

In the racing mode, your beast will become tired, hungry and thirsty.
You have to obbey these simple rules if you want to win.

While racing, the faster you go, the quicker the beast will become tired, which means you have to slow down. Different beasts will have different atributes.
For instance, a Dragon will have more stamina than a Griffin, but the Griffin will be faster than the Dragon.

But you also have hunger and thirst bars which will decrease during the race, and if they get to zero, the beast's stamina and Energy/Health will rapidly decrease.

However there are ways to refill these bars.
Each map will have water ponds, and animals roaming around. You are going to use these to refill your bars. This is taxing however, because you have to slow down, and in some cases make a full stop with some Beasts to feed or drink.
A Dragon will have advantage on the air because it can glide over water or food and take it without wasting to much time.

Why do I need Energy in the race if I already have stamina?
Well, this is the fun part.
You can use your Beast to do a single attack on the near by opponent to get them off tracks.
If you attack an opponent enough times before it's energy is refilled, the opponent will get knocked out and will be out of the race.

Your Energy and Stamina levels can be refilled by drinking, feeding, or slowing down.

Bar Mechanics:
In Racing mode the Hunger and Thirst get depleated first, once these are at zero, then the stamina follows and finaly health, unless you get hit, in such event you will have less health untill you refill all of the other bars first. as for the stamina, will also start depleating if going full speed for long periods of time.
However, Stamina will refill it self when slowing down to a certain speed.

Normal Bar Depleat order:
Hunger and Thirst>> Stamina>> Health

Tiredness order:
Stamina>> Hunger and thirst (Rapidly) >> Health

Hit order:
Health>> (Lose race)

Racing maps:
There would be 3 different types of race, in which you would have to use a different Beast.

Land:
For Land races you would use: Cerberus, Pegasus, Unicorn, Chimera, etc...
Land have lots of natural barriers, such as trees and rocks. The race courses would be set through dense jungles, hot deserts, slippery tundras, etc...
The Land races require more stamina and endurance.

Sea:
For Sea races you would use: Hydra, Leviathan, kraken, etc...
Sea races would be on Rivers full of rocks, and underwater caves, and other man made debries.
Many sea currents would make it hard to manouver the beast underwater, besides the visibility would be decreased, along with many underwater obsticles.
Sea races would also improve the beast's health.

Air:
For Air races you would use: Dragon, Griffin, Phoenix, Pegasus, etc...
Across mountains, canions, etc... Check points in all races have to be passed through, so the Air race would not be as smooth as you think.
Besides, strong winds will make it harder to manouver the beast... and don't forget the opponents trying to hit you.

Race types and Beasts:
Every beast have their advantages and downfalls, for instance, as I mentioned above, the Dragon will have more stamina, and hold it's thirst for longer than a Griffin, which means it can fly for longer periods of time, and without water. But would have to feed more often than the Griffin.
The Dragon can glide over water ponds and drink, and also glide over food and just catch the prey without stopping.

The Phoenix can fly faster, but for less periods of time, it also can glide over food and catch the prey, but it cannot glide over water, since it's a weakness to the Phoenix, causing it to lose a great amount of Energy/Health; So it would have to stop by a lake shore, which means wasting time and staying behind.
For Air races the Beast will drain the thirst bar quicker.

As for the Sea Races, the thirst levels would allways be at max, but the hunger levels would drain dramaticly, which means an hydra would have to feed on fish often.

For Land races, Stamina bar will decrease quicker, which means that the beast will have to slow down often to feed and drink.
An Unicorn fills the thirst and hunger levels faster than the Cerberus, However the Cerberus have more Stamina and Energy than the pegasus.

The more Exp points you get the more you and you Beast will evolve.
Every 1000 Exp points, you go up 1 level, acordingly to what you use most.
There would be a Status menu, where you can see your character's progress.

The beasts can develop in race mode as well as in story mode.
They too develop acordingly.
If you use the Dragon's Fire Blast Attack often, your Dragon will go up a level on Mana, and you will see it evolve to a different form to adapt to that skill.
