Chief 30 Report post Posted July 2, 2010 My return to RPG Maker, using only custom made content! "Fenrir: Blood Oath" takes place in the time of the vikings, utilizing Norse mythology. Fenrir is fated to destroy Odin, and has everyone is in a state of panic. who will set course to defend Odin and his court? Many young men and women will try, but only one shall be named champion and defender of Valhalla. The game starts out with you in your village, when all of the sudden, heavy fog rolls in. you hear a viking war horn just on the other side of the village. you run quickly home to where your sister is. you hear roaring, running, slicing, and howling. You decided to get you and your sister out of there. you sneak out of the back door, but it fails. you are immediately confronted by large men, bearing cleavers and axes, all dressed in wolf skins. The are men who serve Fenrir, the wolf-like beast. They kidnap your sister, and bash you over the head, knocking you out. You wake in the hut of a strange, mysterious old man. He tells you of the men that took your sister, and killed the village people. He spoke of Fenrir and how Odin is in danger. He then leaves the hut, with a busy mind, something you are left guessing for. He comes back with a clean cloak, one that fits you. He tells you to put it on, and then he takes you outside. He speaks of magic and mysterious of the world. He then begins to teach you... Autumn arrives, and a ship is found nearing your old village. You are cautious of its habitants, but go looking anyways. Its an old, yet strong man, followed by a large crew of about 15. He spots you, and demands you come to him. You do as he says, and he slaps you on the back and asks about your village. you explain, and a grim face falls upon him. He tells you that his wife and child were taken by them as well. He then explains that he is off on a voyage to Valhalla to speak with Odin and be granted information about Fenrir, and given the tools to defeat him. He asks you to join him, and you agree. Play the game to discover how it unfolds! Gunnar This is you. you may choose to be a warrior, brave and courageous, or a coward, a mutt in all you do. Hjort The old man that finds you, and brings you to his hut. He is wise, and knows of many mysterious of this world, including hidden magics. Eirik The old man that arrives at your village on a viking ship of his own. He is an explorer, fearless, a leader, and he is viewed highly by his crew. Finn Eirik's first hand man. Brave in all he does, yet submissive to rule and authority. You will find him to be a noteable ally, and beloved friend. Odin The Norse god that is considered the chief of gods. He rules over all in his great hall, Valhalla. He is not to be trifled with. Fenrir He is a monstrous Wolf that is destined to kill Odin, and cause trouble. He is a bloodthirsty beast, and must be stopped. This is your main goal: to kill him. More charaters to come shortly... screenshots coming soon. Check back for updates!

Siverix 4 Report post Posted July 3, 2010 i just expresed my opinion about it what i mean is if your going to use a wolf where make it less muscular Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief 30 Report post Posted July 3, 2010 i just expresed my opinion about it what i mean is if your going to use a wolf where make it less muscular You realize that the Norse Fenrir was a massive wolf beast, thus depicting him as muscular? it fits perfectly.

Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted July 3, 2010 The grass tile looks great! However I do think it should be less square and more random. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief 30 Report post Posted July 3, 2010 Now updated first post with a sneak peek on the dirt tile, with auto-tile! Kiriashi, yeah, I plan on having it be a bit rounded in some parts too, have it flow a bit smoother, and go great for variety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Siverix 4 Report post Posted July 3, 2010 sorry but the only thing i really know about the vikings is they kicked duke Margiris ass at the castle of Pilenai but the people in the castle seeing what they are losing decided to burn all the valuable stuff they had and kill themselves so the vikings won but didn't get any loot they never attacked the grand duchy of Lithuania ever again the end oh i also know what Yggdrasil is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steelz 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2010 Your story line sounds awesome and I think it could turn out to be a sweet game. I can imagine it to be a fairly long game by the sounds of the sotry and how it could play out. Anyways you said you needed some team members still so I could compose music for the game if you want. I haven't made the "Viking" sounding music before. Mostly instrumental rock songs and prog rock stuff if you know what that is. I could send you a recording I made if you want. I've been playing bass guitar, keyboard and drums for a few years now and I have all the equipment to make recordings so if your interested tell me I'd love to compose some music for your game. :biggrin_002: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief 30 Report post Posted July 6, 2010 hmm. Im not sure. Usually people compose music for games using software and all that, but if you think you can give it a whirl, please do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted July 6, 2010 Dude, you just got an offer that will give your game it's own soundtrack. ACCEPT IT! xD The dirt tile looks cool. I think it should be more... subtle? I don't really know how to explain that.. umm... Gah. *facepalm* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
