Hey, I’ve been sketching out a new product line that we could base on ancient tales—thought you’d love the lore angle, and I could use your creative vision to shape the story before we lock down the design.
That sounds like a beautiful adventure in motion, and I would love to help weave the story. What ancient tales are you thinking of? Which characters or motifs feel most alive to you? I can offer some gentle twists that might resonate with the line’s spirit.
We’re looking at a few options—Greek hero epics, Celtic mythic quests, and a bit of Japanese Shinto folklore. The Greek hero, like a modern “Odyssey” with a twist of personal accountability, feels very structured. Celtic wanderer tales could give us that mystery vibe, while the Shinto stories are all about harmony with nature. Which of those feels like the right mix for your creative style?
I find myself drawn to the Celtic wanderer’s quiet wandering, where the forest whispers secrets and every path is a choice that shapes the soul. It feels like a gentle echo of the harmony in Shinto, yet it carries that elusive, wandering spirit that invites reflection. So perhaps we could let the Celtic mystery thread through, and sprinkle in some subtle nods to nature’s balance—like the Shinto idea of harmony—while keeping the hero’s journey a quiet, introspective quest rather than a grand, structured odyssey. How does that sound?
That sounds great—quiet exploration with a subtle nod to harmony is exactly the tone we’re after. I’ll map out a timeline with key decision points for the story arc and link each to a design milestone, so we keep the flow clear and stay on schedule. How does that plan feel to you?
