fthmdg 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2010 Outpost The dwarven leaders held counsel recently, discussing what they had recently found. Although they are uncertain as to exactly what the stone is, they know it's powerful. They want to harness its energies, but the only people that understand 'natural' magic are the Elven people. Years of racial tension and warfare between the two cultures make this a difficult situation. The humans are driven by greed, as they often are. They are siding with the elves because they know if the elves get it, then they will reap the benefits as well. The tensions are getting higher, and though war has not yet been declared between any of the factions, it is undoubtedly coming. The arms race has been building, leaving the economies on both sides struggling. With trade routes both on land and in the sea slowly being taken over by equipment caravans and soldiers, towns and shops aren't getting the things that they need. Even the townspeople are being affected, which is just more fuel to the fire.

There is what is known as natural or arcane magic, and artificial or chaotic magic. While both schools of magic have the same or similiar spells, arcane magic is usually a little more powerful. Only the elven people can harness the powers of natural magic, while other races must turn to chaotic magic. Those that practice chaotic magic are generally thought of as evil people, due to the fact that a lot of damage has been caused by non-magical people trying to use chaotic magic. Since only the elves can use natural magic, they have a huge leeway point. They help the humans out, making magical items and artifacts for them as well as protecting them with their magic, as long as the humans help them out via use of trade routes and other resources. Features New!! >> Full ABS system, bosses and critters alike >> The world will react to your actions, while staying balanced >> Reputation will play a large part in the story >> Different characters will have different storylines >> Main questline as well as numerous sidequests >> NES-style graphics, 8bit or possibly 16bit? >> MIDI music The oldschool graphics and music I feel will give the game a sense of nastolgia while the gameplay and how it all works will lend towards a more 'modern' game Characters Not quite done workin' on it yet, have to develop the bio's a bit more. Will be on ASAP tho, sorry Screenshots Testing the tileset and the hud and such more to come soon! Sidenote:: If you're going to complain to me about how you like my story and such, but aren't going to play the game due to the fact that it has 8 bit graphics, please don't. Im not doing it because its 'easy', I'm doing it as a tribe to oldschool games. Ive had a lot of people tell me they like it so far, but that they wont play it due to that fact. It's pretty lame :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
