Description

Between the many wars waged by humanity against themselves. They are made united, by a greater threat that threatens the foundations and civilizations they have since built since when man first sparked fire. Monstrous Creatures of ancient origins, called "Kaiju" Have arrived ever since the early end of a world war. Bringing with them in an all-consuming conflict between Man and Nature. To fight Kaiju, mankind  have come to adopt their own giant monsters of steel and iron called "Titans". Japan is only one of many fronts in this ongoing conflict, where the struggle for supremacy between humanity and the Kaiju grows ever fiercer. The story follows two perspectives: Yoshiro, an altruistic and determined young man driven to join the fight alongside his friends, and Riku, a hardened veteran of it. What can be expected?:HEAVY character focus, and tons of world building. A Kaiju/Monster V Mecha fiction, mixed in with plenty of action combined with war-and-military elements. What is this story is about?:A theme of Man vs Nature and how can both sides counter the other. Anything else of Note?:The world ofTitan Engineis designed to be expansive and global in scope. While the story’s primary focus remains on Japan, the conflict with the kaiju is a worldwide phenomenon. One that has forced nations across the globe to respond in their own ways. At its core this is a passion project. Because of this, it is intentionally structured as a slow burn. Regardless of pace, honestly—the goal is to see how far the world and my own writing can grow over time! This was heavily inspired by several pieces of fiction and literature that I adored; Kaiju no 8, Parasyte, Attack on Titan, Pacific Rim, and Godzilla. All played a part in how the world and story was designed. As I always loved a good old concept of Giant Robots and Giant Monsters.
