[XP] Legends of Valaera

[vincestick 13]

I figured it would be best to post my project stuff here in, well, the project forum.

 

Okay, this is my project, titled Legends of Valaera. I don't know if I'm going to turn this into a series yet, I'm waiting to see how well the first title goes. I am doing the whole kit 'n' kaboodle by myself (no easy feat, lemme tell you) but it's going pretty well so far.

Here is the plot in a nutshell:

Plot Plot Plot Plot Plot

A thousand years ago, the land of Valaera was in turmoil.

 

Magical portals opened up in the sky, unleashing wave upon

wave of monsters from other realms upon the peaceful

Kingdom of Alvah.

 

Casguard, the heart of the kingdom, and home to the current

King Roddrick Alvah, was sieged by a dark army led by Vauron,

a powerful wizard in the dark arts.

 

Before the evil wizard's overthrow was absolute, a guild

known as the Valaeran Garrison focused their powers and

defeated the army, and sealed Vauron away.

 

The artifacts, or Gems, used to seal Vauron were scattered

throughout Valaera, and in time were soon forgotten.

 

The Great Mage of that time foresaw a prophecy that would

occur in the next thousand years.

 

This prophecy tells of a being known as the Dreamer, who, in a dream, will

foreshadow the seal holding Vauron to break, ensuring the end

of peace in Valaera once more.

 

The Dreamer must then set forth on a quest to recover the ancient

Gems and activate the seal once again.

And, as we all know, things like that just don't run smoothly.

 

Here are the main party characters in the game. They are in a custom menu system (background by me, menu graphics by Darkhalo, and CMS by Catchm.). They don't just join your party like that, I just want to show you who will be joining.

Character descriptions will be coming shortly, I'm writing them right now.

 

Let's see.....oh yeah. Other stuff about it:

 

BS - I will be using the default, turn-based battle system.

 

A Bestiary Book, and Quest Log accessible through the Items menu.

 

Achievements! ('cheevo diary accessible through Items).

 

Secrets, Easter eggs and references.

 

Plenty of items and weapons ranging from Rusted to Epic.

 

Mounts (Horse for ground, boat for water, giant bird for air.)

 

Screenies (old and some recent)

The First Town (A Farm. It's not done yet, but I want to show you how it's going.)

:D I really like your graphics the CMS and Title Screen are Awesome

I have some advice, you know for story plot.

If you make back stories for your characters you can create sub plots from those back stories and use those sub plots to warp your story so it becomes more intricate.

As Of now I though I like the overview of the plot.

When can I expect a demo?

Thank you :D

 

The character's backgrounds will be included in the descriptions, which I will do once I'm done finishing them. =)

 

Funny thing on how you mentioned on using character sub-stories to wrap-up and inter-twine with the main story. After this I do plan on making an RPG based on my manga. The manga's plot is branched to connect with the other character's back-story (and I took my time looking through them, so the plot doesn't branch out to death.)

 

And a demo........ah jeez...I knew this question would come eventually =P

 

I'll probably make a small demo in about...well, I can't really promise a given time. I will try to make a demo sometime soon.
