[XP]Dark Path (Playable teaser)

Dark Path

 

I finally decided to release it as it is. This is a project I started quite a while ago, but I haven't really had the time to finish it. The foundation is there, with only the fun part left, so I might actually finish this project eventually. I'm using GubiD's tactical battle system and have made all the resoruces available for you guys to take, like battle animations and such!

 

Other than the tactical battle system I've also implemented a stealth system which I had a lot of fun with. Credit goes to GubiD for the detection script for that one as well.

 

It's more of an introduction than anything else at this state, but I plan to make it more interactive in the future.

 

Story

 

The empire is corrupt from within. The wealthy minority has surpressed the rest of the empire for decades, but in their own greed they have neglected the growing numbers uprising from the slums and outskirts of the empire.

 

As the tension is rising the emperor and his council feels threatened by the growing numbers of discontent citizens especially around the poor parts of the empire in the slums. The empire is vaster than their citizens really know about. Actually, the empire stretches to the entire east, having the kingdom of Dalia under their control. People are under the delusion that the kingdom of Dalia is an independent state and a threatening force towards the empire, which is false. The emperor and his council intend to use this to their advantage, staging a false war. In this war, the emperor and his council wants to wipe out all the citizens they feel oppose the empire under the false pretense that they'll be casualties of war. All that remains for this great scheme to be put in motion is a valid reason why the two nations should go to war to delude their citizens. The wheels are already in motion…

Nice! Be sure to give me some feedback. I'm really curious to see what people think of the stealth portion of the demo.

I'm still not back on my own computer but I am drooling over these pictures and videos.
