Charas-Project

Hey, all. I'm making an Adventure Game with a program called AGS, or Adventure Game Studio. So far I have gotten some help from people in the Charas board. I have used such things as PM and IM to ask people for help, but with what I recently learned, I am now posting here in a hope that people can help me. I learned that I can't get in trouble for posting Non-RPG Maker game stuff on here, so, that's why I'm posting it. If I can...then sorry, but I asked GhostClown and he said there was no problem with it.
Anyway, here's the main storyline. The main character, William Alexander Denhom, was enjoying his life as a Prince when suddenly, his kingdom was attacked by the General of Darkness. No one knows what happened that day, only that the Kingdom of Drandor was destroyed, and not a single soul was left alive, except for Prince William. At this time, he was rescued by Gavin, the Master of the Knights in the Kingdom of Jiran.
William was taken there, and Gavin raised William as his son. William was then put through the whole knight training thing, and now he must complete three trials to become a true knight. He must pass the Trials of Love, Wisdom, and Strength, and receive the three gems at the end of each trial.
Characters:
Name: William Alexander Tilean
Age: 22
Race: Male
Fianceé: Andrea Drow, first born of Senor Sidnos Drow
Well, I just got done telling you the whole bio of William, so I won't repeat it here.
------------------------------------------------
Name: Andrea Drow
Age: 20
Race: Karagan Female
Fianceé: William, the main character
Andrea lives in the land of Karagum, which is, in fact, a large desert land. She lives with her father - Senor Sidnos - her three sisters - Jessica, Belia, and Sara - and her brother - Pedro. She has lived there ever since her birth, and was the first born of the Drow line. Her mother died when Pedro and Belia were born (Pedro and Belia are twins). Her father is the rudest man you'll ever meet, when it comes to guys wanting his daughter's hand in marriage. So, you can imagine pretty well what William has to put up with.
------------------------------------------------
Name: Senor Sidnos Drow
Age: 50
Race: Faylorian Male
Spouse: The Late Senorita Elsa Drow
Senor Sidnos is a wealthy man. He met and married Elsa Drow on the exact same day. Him and his wife have lived well for the last thirteen years. Alas, after giving birth to twins Pedro and Belia, Elsa Drow fell sick and died. Now, Senor Sidnos has to finish raising three teenage girls, along with two children that are not yet even a year old. Seven years after, Andrea has gotten engaged to a soon-to-be-knight, and Senor Sidnos has come to make sure that when the two get married, that they will know it is for love, for he will put them to every kind of test imaginable.
------------------------------------------------
Name: Jessica Durand
Age: 19
Race: Evannian Female
Boyfriend: None (her last boyfriend died)
The blonde-haired cleric is back. After becoming the sole survivor of the Underworld mission, she has come back to the overworld with a new friend. Her friend, a guy who claims to be the Seer of Ages, joins her in her quest to aid William through his trials. What can she do to help make sure William passes the trials? You'll have to play to find out.
------------------------------------------------
Name: Dragona Dragmus, Archmage of Ages
Age: ???
Race: Male
Girlfriend: None
Dragona was a horrible mage. He barely held any magic power, but the power he did hold was enough for him to get pulled into the Institute of Magic. He got mocked and ridiculed by the four lords of the institute because he held very little magic power of his own, even after thirty years of training. Dragona then disappeared for three hundred years. When he returned, he held a magical staff in his hand. The staff had a dragon skull on it, which meant the staff held great magical power.
Dragona got his revenge on the lords of the institute, leaving them near death. He then disappeared once again until ten years ago. Upon his re-appearance, he attacked small outposts, not really aiming for anything big. Ten years later, he had joined forces with the greatest destructive force Nirana had ever seen. He was the second-in-command of the General of Darkness, the very essence of evil.
------------------------------------------------
Name: General of Darkness
Age: ???
Race: ???
Nothing is known about this monster. No one has seen the monster's face. No one has even seen the monster himself. No one is sure if the monster is male or female, or if it is even human. Some say they caught a glimps of the monster and that it had ten heads, each with drooling slime coming from its mouth. Others say the monster had crystal weapons. Others say the monster had one head, and claws that could destroy an entire castle in a single strike. Whatever the case is, this monster is the greatest destructive force the world has ever seen.
------------------------------------------------
Name: Telenia
Age: ???
Race: Some sort of cat with wings (I can't say her race, cause that would be a spoiler)
This cat with wings follows Tilean around everywhere he goes. The two have been good friends since William was still a baby. The cat doesn't seem to age at all, as it never looks older, or even acts like its older. This cat is special, though, in not just its wings, or its immunity to age, but in the fact it can talk. The cat is a good source of information at times, which William is happy about. The cat even helps William in battle at times. This cat is very special, but what secret does the cat hold? Play the game, and you'll find out!
------------------------------------------------
Name: Master Gavin
Age: 46
Race: Human male
Wife: I haven't got a name for her, yet.
Master Gavin is William's teacher and mentor. Gavin always had fun with him, even while helping William learn about the things he would need to know. Gavin seemed so childish at times, because, even though he was a strict man, he still knew how to make learning fun. Sometimes they would play games that would help teach William whatever he was learning. Like when William was learning to read, Gavin taught him by playing a game that he called "the Reading Game," which, to this day, is one of William's favorite games.
His family lives in the City of Baladar. William and Telenia were taken there when The General of Darkness attacked the Kingdom of Drandor. Gavin has brown hair with brown eyes. At his city, brown eyes were considered a mark of extreme importance.
-----------------------------------------------
That's it! Those are all the REALLY important people. If I posted EVERYONE in it, then you'd have a list of about...50 to 60 people ^^" So, can someone PLEASE help me with this? I am in DESPERATE need of help. I'll give credit to Charas and anyone who helps me if I can get some help. I guess you could say I'm using Charas generated resources, since I'm asking people on Charas here to help me.
New: Game Statistics. Note: These are statistics from AGS, and, thus, the numbers on the right sides are the max amount of that thing I can use in the game. So, you don't really need to pay attention to that side. The left side is what I have currently.

Also, thanks to everyone who is supporting me. I have officially come up with a game making group called "Knights Creations" and thus, that is the group making my game. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say.
EDIT: New main character: Master Gavin

You're too careful. Relax, the rules aren't THAT strict.
Nice game idea, dunno if I'll be able to help though.

All right. Well, can you give it a try? I'm in need of a picture of a magical sword, and the picture needs to be 32X32
-
Is this good enough?

Good sword. It'll work for a magic sword. Thanks for letting me know it was a magic sword, too. I'll use it.
Okay, here's everything I already have: Sword with a dragon skull, sword, three gems, and a gold necklace.
I still need sprites, dialogue pictures, backgrounds, and more inventory items (which I haven't made up, yet) I'll be posting screenies as soon as I get some. Also, can anyone help me with making some buttons? I need some 32X32 buttons. Here are the buttons I need: Feet, mouth, pouch, slider. Anyone think they can help?
-
Hey, small update and a request.
Request: I need a 320X240 picture. Most of it needs to be black, but it needs to have a banner of some sort at the top that says "Sir Tilean and the Way of the Knight" Anyone think they can do that?
Update: I have a few more inventory items done. I also have all the cursors and stuff. As soon as someone supplies me with a few backgrounds, I think I can get to work on making some screenies for people. Until then, though, I don't have anything. I'm still trying to get stuff, though!
-
Hey, I could make you a spiffy banner if you wanted one.

Oh, I know, I was just telling you that you've got one on the way. But I am having a problem with what you want on it. I've just got a fancy background with the name and a sword. Is that okay?

I think so. If the words "Sir Tilean" are big, then under it are the words "Way of the Knight" and they aren't as big, then that's what I'm looking for. I don't really care if you put a sword or anything in it. Make sure you get a small "and the" between the two lines, though. And make sure the background is fancy, as it sounds like you have done.
-
How about this?
-
Very good! Thanks! I'll use it ^^
EDIT: Umm...you made it a LOT bigger then 320...Can you possibly shrink it down? Cause if not...it's unusable.
-
Who's Sir Tilean?He wasn't mentioned in the characters.

Sorry! My fault! I edited it. The character listed for Sir Tilean was listed as William Alexander Denhom. I edited it. Sorry about that!

lol, that's funny. Anyway, I edited it, so Sir Tilean is listed above as William Alexander Tilean, now. BTW, Denhom is the last name I use for my character when I'm playing Quest for Glory, so...I probably got a little confused, seeing as they're both named William.

You want it as a sig, right? It should fit

No, I want it as a logo for my game. You know...one I can use in my game? It needs to be a 320 image to fit in my game, because the screen is 320 big. If you want, you can try making me a 320X240 image of it. That should work. But, if you do that, I'd need another one that would fit a space smaller then 240, because I would need one for when the start menu.

For anyone who didn't see the edit (although it is hard to miss) I now have statisics for my game up. They are using AGS statistics.

Well, that's about it, just figured I'd mention that. Also, I'll be updating those statisics at times, so check back every once in a while to see if there is an update.

I have an update! I have the main storyline complete, and ready to be posted! Here it is! This is Knights Creations biggest project this year...and I could use some REAL help with this game.
Story:
The Kingdom of Drandor was a peaceful kingdom, until a strange arrow came flying into the kingdom. One of the guards noticed the arrow, and picked it up. The arrow held a note on it, and when the guard read it, he was thrown into absolute terror and horror. He quikly ran back to tell the King and Queen about the note.
The note spoke of how the Kingdom had prospered, and how great it was now. Alas, because of that, the one who sent the note said he must destroy the Kingdom. Thus it was, that the great Kingdom of Drandor was attacked by the General of Darkness.
Two survived, but only because they weren't there when the Kingdom was attacked. The King's son, William Alexander Tilean, was one of them. William's teacher and mentor, Gavin, was the other survivor. They both journeyed back to Gavin's home, where William lived for the next ten years.
Ten years later, William has grown, and is now ready to gain his revenge on the General of Darkness. But first, he must omplete a simple task. He must become a knight, which means that for the last ten years he has been training to be one. This also means he must pass the three trials of Knighthood.
First, he must pass the Trial of Wisdom, as he journeys through the forest. Second, he must pass the Trial of Love, as he tries to finally win and wed his beloved, Andrea, who cannot marry him until her father, Senor Sidnos, says she can. Finally, he must pass the Trial of Strength, as he journeys into the mountains to fight the great dragon, Zithrax, the Chosen One of the Dragons.
Can William complete these three trials AND destroy the General of Darkness? What other dangers await him other then the dragon? Will you dare to step into William Tilean's shows and journey to become a knight? This is Sir Tilean and the Way of the Knight, the first of the three Sir Tilean games.
(Coming after Way of the Knight)
Sir Tilean and the Path to Darkness
Sir Tilean and the dark Lord's Reign

Double posting XD
This is why I have a anti-doublepost mod on my forum
Doesent sound that bad, im not a fan of AGS tho.
-
Yeah, I know I did a lot of double posting for that, but it was almost on the second page, so I figured no one would pay attention to it if I just edited. So, I actually posted, that way I might get SOME help which I am in DESPERATE need of...
-
Thats quite obvious. Everyone needs help, you just need patience.
-
Syntax, that doesn't count as a double post. Tamo had to do that or the update would have been ignored.
-
My bad.
-
Hey syntax ^^ u got my sig ^^
anyways, hav u got any screens tamo, or do you stll need sets?
-
I dont think he really started the game, other than resources and such.
-
For this game...I have NOTHING other then a couple of inventory items, a title screen, and 1 character's beginning walking sprite. Basically, I have nothing at all...I don't even know how I'm supposed to work when I am getting no help from anyone...5 forums, and not a single one supports AGS except the AGS forum, which has no place for getting help with graphics and stuff...so...I wait here on Charas, GW, and MystCC in a hope that SOMEONE will ONE DAY aid me in this great game...even though no one has yet.
-
Okay, quick update...this game will probably be scrapped, as I have too many ideas to work with my game making program. We'll have to see, as it all depends on how my ideas go. So, basically, don't be expecting this game to come out, and also, sorry that everyone's work they did will get scrapped if this project does, even though there wasn't much help, but I've got enough that I might be able to use it for something else.
