rax. episode IV: Untold Legends

[sloth 0]

umm... my general game, um yes. *shy*

 

 

the game's subtitled "episode IV" becaurse it's really the 4th version of my original world ^^; (it also exists as trading card game, pen&paper game and chatdice game.)

 

usually i use original art or collaborations with close friend artists for my products

 

however for this game ( at current stats / developing / whatever ) i used some more or less known pics of other series, too.

it's becaurse i haven't yet found pics that match my idea of the new characters so well. so the ones i have chosen match really best. i wish i could draw all characters as i imagine them myself but i don't really feel like i can. ( i bet some of you know that feeling ) - well at least some of the characters are drawn by me, and the sprites, well i used BIG FAT RO sprites ;D (and i'm proud of it, there! )

after all, there was more work behind that than it seems. i had to resize all of them to 77% of original size, which was a lot of pixel work and spriting. some of them are completly edited, some just slightly. also they have only the 4x4 movement frames. ( isn't there a way to.... oh well.)

 

the main plot.... is yet secret.

 

and in fact there is just a "frame setting" - the interesting part of my RPG is ( like it or not ) - it does NOT force you into the storyline. it gives you a few hints there and where, you can try to follow them or not, but in general it's like freeplay, offering many small sidequests..

the 2nd interesting thing is, you can chose from a set of characters, which one's story you want to play. they all live in the same world but depending on which char you pick, the story and sidequests are completly different ^^; all they have in common are some general quests and - well maybe the last boss...?

 

so, in fact you could think each character travels alone... but that'd be a little sad. so i added abilitys to make friends and allies in the world. those can join your party or be summoned to support you in battle.

 

whew, that's all for now. maybe you want some screens and concept art.

 

 

battle system: classic, turn based.

( oh no more upload space for the characters.. oh well i'll try uploading them somewhere else later... )

the main plot.... is yet secret.

<_< I hate when people do that. You really should give some sort of plot. Your screens look good thoug, I like the last one, it looks cool. But you should add at least a small plot

Ah, thank You red-eyesD.dragon.

 

*lol* yah, please don't think bad of me :P - as I sayd it's more of a frame setting and the real game is, trying to discover a whole bunch of mini plots which all seem to be more or less random but in the end , eventually may lead u to the REAL THING... XD .

 

At most single player RPGs, I always feel "stressed" becaurse everything seems so dramatic and urgent: GO THERE! NOW! HURRY! NO TIME TO WASTE!"

I want to make the game more like ... player gets some information and thinks " oRLY? i wanna check that out... maybe now.. or later... " it's kinda an experiment.

 

.. maybe that's why it's subtitled " untold legends " ....

 

i made some random banner XD well it's on my game's website.. =)

 

 

 

The game starts in a completly unknown space and the player is playing a very strange high lv character with magic spells of scary damage. however that IS neccessary at thet place...

He gets a VERY vague hint of the frame setting, and then the player can chose his actual main character, INgame.

The frame setting is about demons, gods and the opposite of gods - which is NOT devil in this case ;D but i don't want to spoil.

 

 

maybe u wanna know more about the characters of which u can chose. (Warning, they're all quite crazy and unusual XD )

 

Lavendel

 

An outgoing, cheerful young girl. Lavendel is not too shy to speak her mind and a pretty skilled fighter.

her father is a novel writer and mapper.

She loves all Animals and Beasts and wants mankind to live in peace with the enviroment.

 

Psalm

 

Although working as a priest, Psalm is more of a light hearted and easy-going womanizer. He grew up in St.Etoile and thus is very self confident and saying he "loves every girl and woman in her own way". But although he might not look like it, he is a strong and loyal beliver with much faith in his heart. He is a good, funny and charming guy.

He wants everyone to have a good life.

 

Isolde

 

A rather shy and silent girl who hasn't been out of her hometown St.Etoile since her birth.

In fact, she hasn't seen anything of the world yet. Isolde is gentle and pure hearted, yet scared of most strangers. She is not married yet (since the population of male townsfolk is very low in St.Etoile) - however, as many St.Etoile girls Isolde is kinda chubby and surprisingly well endowed for her young age.

She is a summoner and wants to learn more about summoning creatures.

 

Dr. Nebelstein

 

This alchemist gentleman is in his mid -or late 30s. Although he is always smiling, there is something creepy about him. People are often scared of him. He always works alone, often moves from town to town, his past is a mystery... It is sayd, his hands are always cold and that he might be slightly insane. But then again, he seems quite friendly... Lately, he has been experimenting with something called " homunculus " . . .

 

Loreley

 

A silent and mature person. In fact, she is some kind of Ninja / Necromancer mix. She calls herself a stealth Necromancer and nothing much is known about her. Just, that she takes her job very serious. Ironically, her parents have been Necromancers, too and mysteriously vanished.
