Syphon Dreams

[Midnite Reaper 2]

Hi, as I want my first game to be a success, I thought I should get help from some of the best. :drool:

 

The game is called Syphon Dreams.

 

Story:

 

 

 

The land of Hath Malaar, a recently barren land awash with death and poverty. This has been brought about by the over overcrowding

of the many towns and villages which marr the land. The higher powers of Hath Malaar have sent requests to bordering nations, Erth

Gorin and Elinstall, but no aid or messages have been returned. Even the messengers recieved this odd fate. Now, due to dwindling

numbers of guards due to a lack of funding, wild monsters have been sacking and pillaging the small outer villages.

 

Kadrass - a town near one of the razed villages - is home to the Kadrass Academy, a training home for villagers and townsfolk whom

have been found to have latent magical abilities. Amongst these few, is a young adept called Svakin. She was found when villagers

returned to their pillaged homes, when a man by the name of Yoweth saw a limp body sticking out of some rubble. He found her to

have the faintest of pulses, and immediately took the girl to Kadrass for healing. By the time they arrived, Svakin's life force

had almost completely left her, and was given a small chance of survival.

 

Against the circumstances, Svakin responded well to the healing. When questioned about why the monsters had left the village, she

simply shrugged and told them they blew up with a light which came from her hands. Instantly realising what had happened, the

mages took her to the academy to train her in the arts of magic.

 

Svakin quickly became one of their top students, showcasing more power than some of Kadrass' most powerful mages. During her study,

she met another girl called Methen. The two quickly became friends, and it was soon revealed that Methen was not only a white mage,

but also a summoner, able to summon elemental spirits, called the Oricalos. As this power was very rare, and often dormant for

centuries, Svakin and Methen vowed to protect each other. As such, they were often called out on missions together.

 

When Svakin was 15, the Academy recieved word of an assault on Geren Malaar, the capital. Svakin and

Methen assembled a group of mages to go with them to aid Geren Malaar's small army. Along the way, she comes across Yoweth, and

finds out he has become one of the top swordsmen in the land. Yoweth agrees to go with them to Geren Malaar.

 

On arrival, they find smoke rising from inside the stonghold walls. So the three of them and the mages run through the gates, and

prepare to battle...

 

 

 

 

Character Bios:

 

 

Svakin Elridge

Age: 14

Race: Human

Eye Colour: Brown

Class: Mage Adept

 

Svakin was saved from death when she was still just a small child. Saved by Yoweth, she was brought to Kadrass to be healed, and

where she was found to have magical abilities. Svakin was trained ay Kadrass Academy, and that was also where she met Methen, and

the two quickly became friends.

Methen was sent to Kadrass Academy by her mother after she almost burnt the house down by accidentally summoning the Oricalos con

Æthis. It was at Kadrass where she met Svakin, and the two were often put on missions together, and grew a strong bond of

friendship.

 

Yoweth Hewa

Yoweth saved Svakin 9 years ago and has never forgotten about her. The two developed an almost fatherly-daughterly bond as Yoweth

stayed by Svakin's side as she was being healed. However, he had to leave her due to her training at Kadrass. Yoweth reencountered

Svakin as she travelled to Geren Malaar.

 

 

 

 

I need graphic artists to create face images and battlers of each character (will add more later).

I am likely to create cutscenes using Blender using 3D models (which I am still getting used to as I only just remembered I have it).

 

Scripts:

 

I plan on using Minkoff's battle system but with a window showing the whose turn it currently is, and the next five turns like so:

 

 

 

I would also like a script which modifies the menu to this:

 

 

 

and the status menu to this:

 

 

 

As you can see in the menu, there is a area for "Beast Souls." I would like 6 little spiral cloud animations, each a different colour to appear in the six slots with activation by a switch.

 

With the status menu, I would like it to be that characters can equip 1 weapon, and up to 4 accessories instead. of a shield, armour, helmet etc.

 

If there is anything you need to know or I have forgotten, don't hesitate to ask.

 

Midnite.

 

note:

 

Face graphic frames are 68x68 and the smaller ones in the turn counter are 32x32.

I would suggest using the Face Maker to make faces for your characters. As for battlers, I'm not sure. If you need anything like title screens and game overs, give me a holler.

Yea, give it a go...I'm not too good with that area of things. I'd actually like fully custom faces...facing right.

I read the story. It is very good. Are you only going to have a playable female cast?

[Midnite Reaper 2]

No. Yoweth is a male, and there are probabaly going to be about 3-4 other male characters.
