Legend of the Swordsmen

I have actively started working on this, But sadly I can not do this alone...

 

I need people that can.

• Create tilesets from scratch
  
• Create battlers
  
• Create Icons
  

 

and maybe someone that good at scrimping later on, but for now the above three is what I need the most.

 

 

'Legend of the Swordsmen' ('LOTS' for short) isn't a medieval themed game, it takes place ca 1990-1998.

 

LOTS is depicted from a story I've written a while back, but here is the gist of the story:

 

Thomas (Main character) Is a boy of 10 years old and he is a descendant of a long line of military experts, with their family leading an elite branch of military specialist in Holland.

 

Being the next in line to lead the branch, Thomas was trained is martial arts since an early age.

 

at a funeral his grandpa, who was the commander of the branch, was targeted for assassination by a sniper. the attempt failed, but Thomas was directly in the line of fire for the bullet that missed its target. before anyone knew it, the bullet had cough his mother who had stood in front of him when the shot was fire. the bullet did go through his mother and hit Thomas in the left eye, but there wasn't enough kinetic energy to actually go any further then that and damage the brain.

 

having survived that while his mother died, Thomas lives with survivors guild, which no one was ever able to help him with. to make manners worse, his grandpa doesn't act like a grandpa should as he hides behind his rank and treats Thomas like a soldier.

 

at age 14, Thomas joins the military branch of his family and enters active duty at age 15.

Thomas his motives are to make his mother proud by following in her footsteps of being an elite soldier.

 

He becomes a Rear Admiral at age 18, which is when he meets his wife to be in Japan.

Funny enough, his future wife appears to be the daughter of Yusuke Futuba. the man who taught Thomas everything he knows about swordsmanship and martial arts. even funnier is the fact that when Thomas his mother was still alive, Yusuke and his mother and actually allready planned for the two of them to marry.

 

Sadly, the plan never came that far because Thomas his mother died, and his grandpa was only intent on making Thomas the perfect soldier to lead the family branch afterwards.

 

another thing that worked against the plan, was that Thomas didn't understand what affection really was. the meaning of the words 'I love you' was a mystery to him, because of his up bringing being to abnormal.

 

However, the Original reason why Thomas was in Japan, is that Sora is one of the leading professors in the field of Cybernetics in Japan. and she had successfully created a Cybernetic eye for those who had lost their eyes do to injury or war.

 

at a certain point a Local shrine, where a relative of the Futuba family was a priestess, started to run into trouble with Yakuza's wanting to take over. knowing that Thomas was living a few miles away, they asked for his help. but his helping them drive off the invaders came at a price.

 

as a retaliation, the Yakuza had attacked the home he was living in with sora, and kidnapped her while killing Sora's maid.

 

Thomas managed to save Sora. but because Thomas didn't grow up and develop normally, he too retaliated against that. where others would just sit around while waiting for the police to do their job, Thomas actually started his own personal war with the said Yakuza. After having fought through an in tire 20 story high building, he confronted the leader who surrendered to him.

 

After quite a while, Thomas finally leared to express his feelings for Sora. actually saying that he loves her, and wants to protect her until the end of time. which is when they got married after taking some flak from his grandpa. The End.

Well... I am still trying to get this project on track.

 

sadly, there aren't many interested in helping out in area's in which I totally suck.

I contacted a close friend who can make sprites, but he is a little bit busy at this point.

 

I have also been digging left and right to find modern/Sci-Fi Tile sets and what not. with no luck so far. I can not even find any decent sprites for generic characters that have a modern theme.

 

 

 

I did however, make two new websites:

 

www.swordsmenwiki.org: the name says it all really, its a wiki for the written novel. you will find information of the characters and such. and even a few drawings of said characters.

 

www.legendoftheswordsmen.org: hosts the stories themselves.
