I might need some help with the story. I have it all in my head, but I'm kinda stumped.

What do you have already?

So far I have the intro stage where the main character looks for his uncle, the head researcher, at an excavation site inside a cave. Reaches the shrine where the sword is and his uncle is somwhere else. At the moment I don't want any cliche callouts at all.

Hmm, did you make any sort of story outline, or some idea of what it would turn out to be before starting it?

Story outline?

Like, making your story ahead of time before starting development on the game. Did you have any idea of where you're going with it? Or are you just making stuff as you go along with development?

I think I jotted it down before I got started.

Ok, have you made anything for the story after he reaches the shrine, or is that where you’re asking for more ideas for the story.

He gets to the shrine, finds out his uncle isn't there, then the shrine starts to glow. Out of the light comes Marino, the Guardian Fairy. She starts off doing the whole "O noble being" bit, then starts complaining about how she ended up being buried for centuries and stuff. A comedic touch, like Luvbi from Super Paper Mario.
