Well it's time to put an end to it...
It was a world vast in history and adventure. A World ripe with magic and spirits fowl and kind alike. It was, unfortunately, a World being choked to death by war...
Empire's fought for the seat of power in this world, their armies gigantic and their lands were incredibly vast, that it would reach the horizon and great the warm sun with open arms...
Records of yonder year speak of beings with such power corsing through their veins, that they could rival the gods...
The Power could rip the skies asunder, cause the earth to cry out in agony and crumble onto itself...
It could anger the mountains, make the ocean's froth with fury and plunge the world into a hellish nightmare of chaos and fear...
Yet somehow, the world still exists, these beings did not wish to use their powers for evil...
What happened to the People of the Power and the Power itself is unknown...
But none-the-less, the Empires still search for it...
Even if it means the death of the World...
Here are the Empires guys...
Semag, the Sculptor Empire
Yrellag, the Hidden Empire
Sec-Rouser, the Flame Empire
Sesetqur, the Merchant Empire
Sectonts, the Towering Empire
Lalo-Fall, the Freedom Empire
Ok, now for the characters...
Name:---- (You choose Name)
Age: ---- (You choose Age)
Gender ---- (You choose Gender)
Apperance:---- (You create him/her using the inbuilt "Charas-Generator" in the game)
Personality: ---- (Forged during game play)
Charas Allias:---- (You can decide wether or not he/she is from the charas forums)
I need around 20 other characters to be hero's, and around 9 for villans...
Ok, now onto the features...
Hack 'N' Slash Battle system; run around the map strafing and slashing the hell out of some decent enemies
Tactical Game Play; Fight alongside and comand 9 heroes at a time and more depending on where you are, sending them to attack certain targets and defend others.
Rock Sissor Paper style tree effects,
Ranged defeats Magic,
Magic Defeats Close Range,
Close Range defeats Ranged.
Magic Circle...
Pure Forms
Fire>Water>Air>Earth
Chaos Forms
Volcano>Tsunami>Storm>Earthquake
Natural Forms
Desert>Sea>Sky>Forest
Natural>Pure
Pure>Chaos
Chaos>Natural
If you hit an enemy with an afflicting element, you will do a certain % more damage to it, and vice-versa...
Charas Engine; One of the highlights that's going to be in the game...
At first you use this to create your main character, then later on you can create heroe's for your squad on this (not including story characters)
I got some sprites done for it, but there of Final Fantasy Legend (GB) Style. Not good for now days, so I may need an alternative style if it doesn't suite people's tastes.
If you are willing to send me an alternative sprite sheet, it's going to need attack animations for up down left right and the left-right ones must NOT BE MIRRORED FOR ATTACKING!
I'll also need a fairly decent tutorial or coder to help me make the battle system and the other nice bits in the game...
I also would like some original music in the game, but not midi, if people can cook up some midi music, I'll try to pention some people who have instruments to remix them and record them into an MP3 type file...
Finaly, I'll need some people to suggest some characters for this...
The Attachment has some shots of what the sprites I currently have look like...
for some strange reason it's deleted the attachment, I'm gonna post it again...

This time it's my character, well here he is, Kley.
As for the pieces I need...
I need some magey kind of clothing (Think Black, Red, Blue and White Mages) and just generaly anything you can pull together...
I noticed a buggy animation in Draknitis, his crystalised arm wasn't drawn on his right attack frame. fixed on my Dream maker, I can't change the attachment though...
Ah HAH!
I remembered, Summons!
I need these summons done as well as the sfx etc....
Here it goes...
Name: Exuro
Apperance: A huge ash-cloud-humanoid.
Skill: Pyroclastic Flow
Summoning: Fade out of area... Zoom into a volcano, then the Volcano explodes, launching a huge column of ash-cloud into the air, forming a human shape, arms outstretched lashing towards the view of the player, it falls down and starts charging down the hill, creating a Pyroclastic Flow...
Effect: The whole Area is bombarded by these ash clouds, anything that runs into them get's damaged, badly, this also includes you.
The Clouds keep rolling across the screen at a fairly fast speed, with gaps in between and it slows down when it hit's trees and objects.
Lasts for three minutes...
Name: Praefoco
Apperance: Gigantic Water Hydra.
Skill: Mega Tsunami
Summoning: Fade out of area... Zoom onto the coastline, a huge wave is aproaching it at super fast speeds, zoom closer into the wave, it consists of a five headed Hydra. The Wave reached the Coast, Fade out. Fade in to the Battle area and the wave crashes onto the ground below.
Effect: Flings everything around the place, (Including you) and destroys most fire enemies on contact. Does heavy damage (but not as heavy as Exuro).
Name: Dimidium-Victus
Apperance: Huge Golem.
Skill: Earthquake
Summoning: Fade out of area... Zoom onto a huge Golem standing in an open field, Golem stamps on ground, causing an Earthquake. Zoom back to battle area and a huge crack begins to form across it.
Effect:The Tremor's shake the characters around, movement is hard, does no damage until you fall into the crack, which does heavy damage.
I'll post some more later...

As for now, I GTG, my brother's playing Runescape...
Post by: Dragonium on June 18, 2005, 09:33:49 AM
Age: ---- Around 5000.
Gender ---- Male.
Class ---- DragonSlayer.
Alignment ---- Neutral. Works in what way he sees fit.
Appearance ---- Wears full silver body armour, with a helmet that looks like a dragon's skull (Think Kain from FF4). Helmet covers all of his face except for his mouth. Crimson hair coming out of the back of the helmet. Carries a 6 foot long leather scabbard on his hip.
Personality ---- Quiet, calm, mystical. Doesn't speak often (Speaks an ancient language as well as English). Can get angry when upset. Is secretly half-Dragon, although he does not know it.
Charas Allias:---- None.
Weapon: Slayer Sword: A 6 foot long two-handed sword which only a DragonSlayer can use. It is very precious, because the craft of forging the Slayer Sword, which causes heavy damage to DragonKind, has long since been forgotten.
Skills:
- Dragostrike: Heavy damage to DragonKind.
- Tireke: Harnesses user's anger into a 4 hit combo.
- Dragovenom: Physical attack, good poison damage to DragonKind.
- Dragofire Shot: A red hot fireball from the hand. Ranged magical damage.
- Gyesin: Increases Magical attack and defence for 2 turns.
- Sunburst Cannon: Heavy non-elemental attack used by reflecting beams of light down the sword and focusing into one huge beam to incinerate foes. Often reduces them to 1 HP.
- (Story Attack) Kaiser's Redemption: Transforms into an uncontrollable Kaiser Dragon. Could only be used for story purposes, obviously. Perhaps he transforms and you have to fight him to return him to normal?
- Mentiazo: Doubles HP for 1 turn. Costs a lot of MP.
I'll do what I can to help with this. I'd like to see this game succeed.
Post by: Neonlare on June 18, 2005, 10:42:35 AM
As I said I need help with the battle system...
I want the number's 8, 6, 2 and 4 on the numpad to be the attacking commands when in dungeons, talk when in it's pressed near a freindly NPC, with hot keys with the other numbers on the other side of the keyboard. I'd like strafing, so if 7 and 9 on the num pad were strafing, then that's preaty much it...
Post by: Dragonium on June 18, 2005, 11:12:28 AM
The other thing is entirely my fault. I forgot to add that the helmet has horns on it at the back (See my attachment so you know what I mean). Sorry!
I feel like helping. I suck at coding, but I'm sure I could find a way to make a picture or two, say for a summon. I'll give it a shot.
