Crescent Moon [Update, finally]

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

[update: 6/21/2012] Holy crap. After like a year I think it's been, I'm finally continuing this darned project with my new Soft Blue team. Not much can be revealed right now, I don't have any screenshots but I can tell you features, story, a character.

So, without further ado:

 

STORY

You play as Anez, the main protagonist. One night whilst sitting alone you witness something strange fall from what looks like the moon and into the sea nearby. Your curiosity becomes the best of you and you look to see what happened. Suddenly, a very large floating island spawns itself over the sea. The villagers start to use this Moon Island as a large resource. They find new plants that can be made out of medicine, food and even different animals that inhabit the island. But, no one goes past the other half of the island. Rumor has it someone went over there and never came back. So a fence was put up to keep villagers out of "District M".

Anez, being the daring adventurer he is, decides to climb the fence but happens upon a large alien colony riding vehicles and using cybernetic machinery. Terrified, he runs home but trips over a metallic glove that extends up to his forearm. He takes it and tells no one of what he saw.

It turns out the glove turns Anez into a fighting machine. It wraps Anez around in a black skin tight suit, or the "Predator Suit", giving him Dark Matter Powers: the ability to transform air into dark matter to make force blasts, teleportation, and telekenesis. It also gives Anez increased strength and agility.

Anez defends villagers of the upcoming alien attacks, but what do the people think? What will happen? What could YOU make happen?

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

i can't wait to play this !

 

Haha. Thanks, kevin. I did not explain how to get into the beta:

 

PM ME AND YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED IF YOU GET INTO THE PRIVATE BETA.

[Polraudio 122]

I cant wait to play either.

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

Ah, thanks. That means a lot coming from you!

[solshadow 0]

Games where your choices make an impact on the world, both immediate and in the future, are ones that excite me. Cant wait to see the finished project!

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

Yeah, me too! I love them! Thanks for the comment! It's a long way from beta everybody, so you guys will have to wait a while to play it.

[Bob423 52]

hmm.. looks interesting. and kinda weird

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

What I'm aiming for, lol.

Thanks though.

[Dragon324 16]

Looks good so far although there is not to much to comment on atm. I like games that allow the player to make choices, it also adds replay value imo. I'll edit this post to give more comments once there is some screenies.

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

Screenies coming tomorrow because I was being stupid and messed them all up so now I have to edit them, but they're upcoming.

[Dark Den 4]

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

Definitely will be fun! :) Sign up for the Private Beta and you might get in to play it first(well a buggy version :P).

[FranklinX 37]

You're building a lot of hype for your project. I like the story. I can't say too much until I see screen shots!

Haha, thanks, Kevin. Glad you like. :)

[gRaViJa 4]

Hmm, i expcected SNES like graphics since you said it is an homage to SNES era games.

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

Oh, nah, I meant storyline wise.

[Enigma 10]

So, you've started up work on it. Will it have a CMS

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

Yes, it utilizes Maki's Ring Menu as a CMS.

[Ecowolfsteen 14]

--UPDATE--

I have basically restarted a lot of this project in the last couple days. I've kept all of the old maps though. The story line is the same except for Prestosis.. Will update character bio's later. But I basically did this update to show you guys this video. I'm showing you a WIP Karma System that kind of ties in with the whole affect character/world idea. It's also showing some armor/weapon equipping and then some fighting imp's. Keep in mind a lot of the things in this video I'm still working on, The Karma System especially. As you can see.. The animations are still pretty choppy, and I'm deciding whether to implement a Karma HUD, so you know how bad or good you've been because all the work is basically behind the scenes right now except for the animations. Anyway, enjoy the video. >: D
