About Gate (for those that do not know)
Gate is an anime recently released on Crunchy Roll as a 2015 summer simulcast. It's premise is rather basic but is something I have always fantasized about. In a nut shell a inter-dimensional gate has opened in Japan, where an army of knights, orcs, goblins and other magical creatures poured out. They of course, having the element of surprise, slaughtered a fair amount of people This of course ended up drawing the attention of the JSDF whom with modern military might routed the fantasy army with ease. About six months after the incursion the JSDF sent an expeditionary force into the new world where they will establish a foothold and presence in this world.
Now this of course opens up a ton of plot options and possibilities. Rich with combat, character development, political intrique and humor the setting and plot is a treasure trove. The way that battle happens in this anime is much more tactical as opposed to one on one combat, which is why I personally feel a tactical battle system would fit better in this world and game.
What I am looking for...
Currently right now this is an interest pitch. I am wondering what the general feel and opinion on something like this would be. If I am able to build the game that I would like out of this I believe it will be a solid game with great writing, mechanics and polish. I do intend on making this a commercial project as I am a Game Designer trying to build a startup, so bear with me through the ups and down. When I finally have some concept art and things to show off, I will definately do so.

All that said and done, I am open to critiques, opinions and general thoughts. Thanks!
