Title: Bretheren Steel
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on April 07, 2005, 04:39:38 AM

Okay, I'm going to post character, item, plot ideas for my game and I would like some help on removing all cliches.
Stroy and a brief explanation of the 6 races are her:
http://charas-project.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=9612&forumid=11&catid=4
I decided to make a new one and keep it up instead of bumping the old ones..

Characters:
Sengal- Half Blood
Age: 19
Class: Warrior
Weapon: Hades Bane- Broadsword
Desc: Child of the forbidden combination of a Dei' Chak blood with "fool's blood"(any race not dei chak). His Dei' Chak name means "forsaken"because of his mixed blood. Although he looks like a human, he holds certain Dei' Chak features such as great height and strength, fangs, and wings, but he lacks the natural armor most have. Due to the Dei' Chajk blood in him, he can weild the Hades Bane with his right arm.

Reishin- Dei' Chak
Age: 19
Class: Warrior Mage
Weapon: None, but since a Dei' Chak can't naturally cast spells he carries an ancient bark from the Kao (extinct magic tree) tree in a bracelet.
Desc: Only friend of Sengal. His Dei' Chak name means "Lost Child" because he was raised by two people in the nearby village  until the age of 6. He was found when the Dei' Chaks raided the village. Because of his different upbringing he lacks the viciousness of the other members of the clan.

Eiphen Citadel- Human
Age: 20
Class: Monk
Weapon: Ancestral Point- Rapier
Wielder of the Ancestral Point, he is the last member of the Ancestral Covenant. He joins Sengal after finding him lost in his forest. Raised his whole life by monks, he is a very religious man but will use his sword to "cleanse the sinners".

Hrein- Magonian
Age: 22
Class: Gladiator
Weapon: Heavy blade
Desc: Due to the violent mentality of Magonian society, battle is a large part of life. Hrein is a gladiator in the colisseum with hair completely covering his right eye and half of his left as a handicap, as long hair represents a great gladiator. H epairs up with Sengal and Eiphen to claim the Pyros Hulk after he is defeated in a colisseum match by Eiphen.

Oz- Dwarf
Age: 83
Class: Farmer
Weapon: Old battle axe he uses as a plow
Due to the active lifestyle and healthy diet of the dwarves, they have incredible longevity and aging, Oz only looks to be in his 30's. An old soldier, he went AWOL right before the attack that wiped out his platoon. For the last 60 years he has lived his life as a simple farmer, miles away from any other dwarven colony.

Ryuku- Elf
Age: 24
He carries the other twin blade, the Zephyr Shiv. Sent with his sister to explore the outside world, he and she were separated until he found her when he joined up with Sengal.

Ryoko- Elf
Age: 17
Class: Ninja
Weapon: Gale Shiv- Katana
She carries one of the win blades, the Gale Shiv. She and her brother Ryuku were sent as messengers to explore the world below the floating elven capital.Separated from her brother, she is reunited with him when he joins Sengal's company.

Tenir- Mermaid
Age: 19
Class: Priestess
Weapon: Staff, chakram
She weilds no sacred blade but does posess the Alchemists Chain, an item which is held above the Atlantean Spear by the merpeople. Given the responsibility of gaurding the great sea beast Leviathan, she's forced to tag along with Sengal and company by the head priest when they must retrieve the Aquarius Spear.

Sounds delicious! YUMMM
Post more stuff so i can learn more more more!!!

Post by: ZeroKirbyX on April 08, 2005, 02:26:48 AM

Thanks, I'm gonna update this as I get new stuff for my game.

Title: 5 of 7
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on April 09, 2005, 12:47:32 AM

Here's the ancestral, hades, pyros, zephyr and gale. I like all of em but I'm still unsure of the zephyr and gale.  If anybody'd like to help I still need the Terran Edge(axe) and the Poseidon Staff(Spear).

Title: Bad News
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on April 10, 2005, 04:49:19 AM

After working for a few days I realized that I don't remember much from 2 years ago so now I'm going to be working on a new game, "Squippy Qwest" to try and get my groove back. It will star these guys:

Title:
Post by: SleepAid on April 10, 2005, 06:02:16 AM

Sweet.


Dude... You have ****ing awesome handwriting.
Just a little nit-pick, the hades sword would be near impossible to weild. The hand guard would be tearing away a lot of your arm while your fighting. Just letting you know.

By the way, what do those runes mean?

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on April 10, 2005, 04:10:48 PM

The runes stand for blood, flesh, and bone. Basically it's because the swords are made of the flesh and bone of the corresponding dragon and the blood is required to ressurect them.

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 13, 2005, 12:41:20 AM

Okay, my ma finally ley me get ungrounded from compy (yes, I have been on, but I shouldn'ta been) and my PC is now hooked back up so, UPDATES!!! Still no internet on it though. During this time I've made random stuff and ideas so I'll post em as soon as I find my Palm.

But to start off here's a new char:
Mikael Falconis Lombardi- Human
Age: 30
Class: Alchemist
Weapon: Boomstick (Shotgun, but it s the only one so he calls it a boomstick. Yeah, too much Evil Dead...)
Desc: A hermit that lives in a cabin near Clymeria. The more traditional alchemist, his house is cluttered with jars and vials. Inventor of the Boomstick, the first weapon to take high advantage of black powder, he becme a hermit to avoid nations who wish to control the black powder as he does.

I'll probably update the other chars.

Post by: kodakumi on June 13, 2005, 12:57:04 AM

a cliched thing you dont wanna have, is a revenge story.


you also see alot of


heros been sent out to save the world from being consumed by utter chaos.

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 13, 2005, 01:04:26 AM

Yeah, it's not really revenge. He steals it just to spite the Dei' Chak leader, that's kinda why in the first part he doesn't know what the hell he's doing.

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 18, 2005, 01:37:45 AM

Still no screens, (Awwwww) but a new char.

Alvarez- Human
Age: 27
Class: Theif
Weapon: Dagger
Desc: Leader of the rebellion Clymeria, not much is known about her but she bears some connection to Mikael.

Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on June 18, 2005, 02:01:10 AM

Yeah, there's this new japanese invention that let's you move small files such as screenshots from computer to computer.
It's called a FLOPPY DISK.

By empty wallet I meant I have no money to buy an external floppy drive for my mac. Someone at apple thought not giving the iMac a floppy drive was a good idea. That guy should die.

Ewwwww.... iMac.
A peripheral for an iMac is a waste of money.

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 18, 2005, 10:04:43 PM

Eh, no matter how crappy they are, I don't pay for it so it's all good.

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 20, 2005, 02:00:43 AM

Okay, I had an epiphany. (Oh my god I know what epiphany is! I think...)


I was thinking that since Sengal weilds the Hades Bane that he'd have two battle animations. When he's equipped with the Hades Bane, he's got the D arm with a whole set of Hades only moves. Then when you equip him with a steel sword he uses his left arm with a special set of normal moves. And instead of buying new swords you just have a blacksmith fold the steel and you can give it attributes by folding it with special items, like Prusce (another magic tree, not as strong as the Kao) bark for magic strength, dwarven steel for extra durability, glowing magma for a heated blade, etc. So, what'd ya'll think of these? I'm redoing Sengal's battle so I figured I'd ask.

Title:
Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on June 20, 2005, 02:12:11 AM

So you mean instead of buying new items you just get upgrades?

Now that you mention it, it seems like it'd be an obvious thing to do, but I've never actually seen it in RPG maker.

I say go for it.

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 20, 2005, 02:30:05 AM

Cool, so it sounds good? Righte-o then. I just hope I can make good custom animations...

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 20, 2005, 10:59:26 PM

Just thought I'd say screens will hopefully be coming soon. And to add that pubs are going to actualy be useful. When you go into a pub you can buy a round of drinks and it will show a scene where the party goes over infrmation they know and can set you on the right path if you get lost. And that I've set it up so that the item you use to cure darkness is whiskey which you can only buy, you got it, in a pub.

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 21, 2005, 07:32:52 PM

Last night I got the basis of the sword upgrade system and I just made the CMS. Here's what it'll look like

Title:
Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on June 21, 2005, 07:41:06 PM

Cool. You made that yourself? Awesome.

Erm, you might wanna convert that to an image that people without photoshop can see it.

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 21, 2005, 07:45:12 PM

Damn, I thought I had. My PS has been kinda... glitchy. Kinda fixed it too.

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on June 22, 2005, 06:10:00 PM

New feature in the works. You can train the chars in different "Styles". Now as said before, pubs will have a use. When in a pub you can "rent out" the back room for so much money and have one char train anoher in their style. Ex. Eiphen has a fencing style and Ryoko has a japanese style (I dont know them). When you go into the pub you can select who to teach and who to train. After a set amount of times, the student will learn the new style. Of course, since Hrein has a heavy blade he can't learn fencing and eiphen has such a small blade he can't learn berserker style. But you get the point.

Title: New Char!
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on July 04, 2005, 04:05:32 AM

I decided I needed a fist fighter, but instead of perpetuating the kung-foo dea, I made him a boxer, How often do you see them?

Name: No idea yet...- Dwarf
Age: 73
Class: Boxer
Weapon: Gloves
And old soldier who was friends with Oz. And... that's it...

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on July 06, 2005, 12:46:36 AM

My god... its screens!

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on July 06, 2005, 12:48:15 AM

I shall destroy the attach-box! Yes, there is RTP and facemaker and the default menu, I just haven't gotten the graphics for it all yet.

Post by: Ian'sRPGstuff on July 06, 2005, 12:54:39 AM

Nice lava cave! ^_^

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on July 07, 2005, 03:59:10 AM

It's not really a cave, more of the chars home "town".

Title:
Post by: shinotebasiiackh on July 07, 2005, 03:39:50 PM

It looks a little empty...

Title:
Post by: Moosetroop11 on July 07, 2005, 04:26:07 PM

Doesn't look bad, a little empty perhaps, if people lived there there would at least be caves for homes.

Also, It's guard, not gaurd :D

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on July 08, 2005, 08:21:53 AM

Damn, typo. But the way it's set up is the Dei' Chak (wing people) mainly live in a cavern above the one hes in so its never really used. They threw him down there because he's a half' blood, but there are a few that are down there.

Title:
Post by: InsaneJP on July 08, 2005, 05:15:28 PM

Yeah, I need to add a good color to the system to change it, but I have no idea what color the text should be... Maybe a grey?

And here's yet another confliction. Do ya'll think I should add faces when the talk or just the name like I have it? ,, blah blah blah.

Title:
Post by: Linkforce on July 21, 2005, 06:25:59 AM

Well, I use faces, cause you dont have to keep typing their  name. :D

Title:
Post by: ~Calvern~ on July 22, 2005, 01:45:28 PM

No faces, names all the way. Sorry but that's like a petpeeve for me >.<  but other than that the screens look pretty good. And I was wondering with the empty matter myself but i read how u said that the wing people live above and they throw the
"half-bloods" down onto that level.

Pretty interesting.

Get some more screens up there though >.<

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on August 21, 2005, 10:07:36 PM

Okay, game is not dead, just moving slowly.

New Char:
Name: Nikle
Age: 23
Class: Lv. 2 Gladiator
Weapon: Mace
Hrein's first sister

Name: Deim
Age: 18
Class: Lv. 3 Gladiator
Weapon: Any
Hrein's second sister, she is widely skilled in any weapon she has used, almost as if she was a great fighter in her past life

Title:

Not really, I've made all the chars and stuff I need til now 'cept Ryuku, who was done by Insane. But if I need anything I'll let you know.

Lava cave looks empty, and "off" in some way that I cant put my finger on..... because It'd get burned.

HA!.... I don't get it... :D

Now that I look at it, it does seem empty when I look at the map itself. I think I just made it to big for what its supposed to be. I have a problem making maps too big.

Well... it IS a lava cave....

Yeah, maybe the problem is it's too big... its like, wide open spaces. Good for a claustrophopic antagonist..

 Is that guy in the screenshot explaining how to "Save" with a stone that creat a distortion in time when you die? ... does he killed himself so he knows that?

No, since he's a full blood he was in the upper chambers, got in a fight, and got thrown down onto a stalagmite. (Dei' Chaks don't grow plating until maturity, which is around 20)

you drew them yourself

Title:

Indeed

Title: Sub-Quest Added
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on August 27, 2005, 07:52:33 PM

I added a very large sidequest, called the Strander Sidequest for now. Basically you have to find 26 Stranders (People from our future that are stranded in the past) and defeat them. Yeah, they're all military men so they can be tough. I won't say any more for fear of MAJOR spoiler though. If you wanna know though and ruin the experience I'll be glad to explain through PM. It starts off mandatory when you have to take out Mr. Sipher in Marishkin, maybe I'll have a few others down the line for story purposes. Maximum 5, the rest'll be the side quest.

Title: Revamped
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on August 29, 2005, 07:53:56 PM

After listening to comments and my own opoinions on script/mapping/events/etc, I decided to redo the game. With a script written before hand!

Title:
Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on August 29, 2005, 08:04:10 PM

You mean you're erasing everything and starting back at square one?

Also, that sidequest seems pretty cool, but why would a side-quest contain major -spoilers? Side-quests aren't supposed to be that important to the main storyline..

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on August 29, 2005, 08:09:14 PM

Yep, square one.

The 6 stranders that you have to fight (S, T, L, K, I, G) are part of the story that seriously have to do with my plans for a sequel. the 20 others are for future equipment and just a tad bit more insight into the whole time travel thing. The game gets pretty f'ed up plot wise. I mean Big-O f'ed up. Not "It doesn't make sense" f'ed up.

Title: New CMS
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on August 30, 2005, 11:55:40 PM

My new CMS, and it looks good! This pic is just a demo of it, still forzen. Just shocasing it.

Trust me, I will. I hate thos Pl faces, I just need to color and resize the ones I drew... As soo as I figure out how to do that and make em look good.... :D

Title:
Post by: Blazingheart on September 02, 2005, 11:37:44 PM

U can Try fire emblem facesets (See atachment to see one of mine)

**EDIT*** Ouch¡¡,The center pose does not have face lol¡¡¡

Hmmm.... I may just do some heavy edits/recolors if I can't get my faces looking good...

Title:

Ok,Show more updates cause i really like this game,i dont know,but i got a good feeling of this game

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on September 17, 2005, 09:58:12 PM

Game is goin slow, but for those of you who do care about it, its not dead.

Just thought I'd show a new system I'm making. Its a little odd and may be dropped, but its a stamina system if you will. If you check into an inn you get rest yes, but to keep ytour energy ypu will have to go to shops and restaurants for food. Also, if you go to the pubs to often you can get drunk, lowering accuracy. You must of course stay in an inn to rid yourself of it and when you wake up, you have a hangover.  Its alittle odd, I know, but I thought it'd be intreresting.

Title:
Post by: Meiscool-2 on September 17, 2005, 10:04:50 PM

Ah! Like a 2-edged blade en?

So, it's like, food gives you back maxium health, beer makes you stronger but less accurate, and the inn makes you more accurate and less strong.

With something like that, you could also include gyms and other various training grounds.

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on September 17, 2005, 10:35:53 PM

Basically. I figured that if I'm going to actually have the pub serve beer (A rarity in rpgs), and you can get as much as you want, why wouldn't you get drunk. So yeah. I figured it could make for interesting battles.

Title:
Post by: AsakuraHao2004 on September 18, 2005, 01:21:00 AM

Sounds cool... might get a little annoying, though.

Title: Damn, damn, crap, crap, damn it all to hell!
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on October 23, 2005, 05:49:37 AM

I... am officially pc-less.... I was using my moms bf's comp, getting progress done, albeit slow, but still, progress nonetheless. But now he has taken it to his wok, so I am forced to put the game on temporary, if not permanent stand-by.
