Title: Realms of the Demons
Post by: Tomi on June 29, 2005, 02:55:52 AM

.::Story::.    

     About 3000 years ago, the world of the Demons and the world of the Human were one.  Humans and demons moved freely throughout both worlds for ages.  Then there was a group of corrupted demons that planed to take over both worlds, seizing total control.  The human leaders heard this, and decided to put a stop to it.  The humans gathered up a group of wizards to combat the demons, and the demon leaders gathered up an army to fight for them.  All demons were banished from the human world, and all humans from the demon world.  The Demon Leaders strategically built portals between the two worlds so they could have easy access to the key points of the human population.  The human wizards found out about this, and used the portals for their own advantage in battle.  Both sides fought hard, but the brute force of the large demon army started to press on the humans.  The humans were losing.  The leader of wizards, named Hoji Altec had an idea to end the war.  He was going to seal off the portals so the demons could no longer get through.  The only bad thing was that he would have to cast it from inside the demon world, which would lock him in.  Altec decided to try to modify the spell so only humans could go through to the demon world, and only humans could deactivate the spell on all 4 of the portals.  As he was casting this weeklong spell, he was attacked, and, defenseless, was killed a day before he could finish.  The demons thought that they had won, but when they tried to go through, they couldn't.  After the demon’s wisest wizards examined the sealed portals, they figured out that only humans could pass into their world, and yet that was a very rare occasion.  Yet it was legend that if a human were to deactivate all of the portals, he could get back home, but all the demons could too.

     Now, some 3000 years later, a mercenary named Tomi was hired to find some rare herbs called Engaropla to heal a rich noble's daughter of cholaria.  As he was looking for these, he stumbled through some sort of invisible portal to another dimension, another world.  He quickly found that this world was run and lived in by the demons, a race that, in human legend, was pure evil.  As he was wandering through this forest in the new world, he was ambushed by 3 large, brutal, and vicious demons, who seemed to be barbarians in this area.  He was saved by a demon necromancer named Mortuus, who summoned a skull to shield Tomi from their attacks.  After they defeated them, Tomi said thanks, and tried to go back to his own world, but the portal in which he came through had sealed, and there was no way back.  Mortuus brought Tomi back to his village where he learned of the legend of the Four Portals of Altec, and that if he unlocked them all, the portal through which he came through would open up, and he could go back into his own world. But some have other plans for him...

Your ideas suck, this game sucks, and you suck. :s


















J/K!!! XD It's looking good so far dude. I definately can't wait to see the rush thing, and your CMS looks great. Keep up the good work! ^^

Ok, would you explain one thing to me?

The worlds were one right? But then how are they seperate? If they are two seperate worlds you should state so in the story. :yell:

Other than that it sounds pretty good ^_^

GRRRR!!! Stupid loophole...  What I mean is that you could travel between the worlds, and that there were demons in the human world and humans in the demon world.  And then they closed it off when the war started.  Its basicly just there to show that humans and demons can live in harmony.

Post by: drenrin2120 on June 29, 2005, 05:03:40 AM

ahh... although the main story is a little cliche. There are plenty of original ideas to make it a good story. I think this is one of the better games to be coming otu as of lately. Good luck!

Post by: darkrune on June 29, 2005, 05:10:05 AM

I like it, 3000 years is a bit long, but hey nice screenies :)

Title:
Post by: Tomi on June 29, 2005, 02:09:44 PM

Thanks for all the comments!  And darkrune, 3000 years is SUPPOSED to be long, so the humans cant remember when they live alongside the demons.  And Drenin, dont worry about it being cliche, theres a HUGE twist in the plot, but I'm not tellin what it is... :P

Title:
Post by: Bart_Fatima on June 29, 2005, 02:35:21 PM

hey bud! nice story, is this your first game? that you posted on charas? just wondering.

Your main dude tomi's face is cool.

Title:
Post by: Tomi on June 29, 2005, 03:03:19 PM

I posted one before, but I quit it the next day.  This one, however, I have been working on for months already geting the story together and tweaked.  Yeah, and in case anyone didnt know, thats Tomi's faceset in my avatar right now...

Oh yeah, I was just messing around with Tomi's charaset, and made a few poses.  I think I may have lost some of my pose making ability, but, here they are anyway.

Title:
Post by: Bart_Fatima on June 29, 2005, 03:10:02 PM

yeah if you  stop making poses(Like I did) You lost your old touch. Like that Duran character, awesome poses. Now I can only do climbing ladder poses >_>

Tomi, I am really looking forward to playing your game

Lookin' good

Tomi, it looks sweet.  Just don't stop like your last one on The Golden Compass.

Title:
Post by: Tomi on June 29, 2005, 09:41:45 PM

Don't worry, I won't...

BTW, everyone, this is my friend who helped me with some of the story.  Thats why his name is Mortuus, just like in my game.  Thanks for the comments and keep them coming!

Hey, Tomi! Added a lot of stuff, I see...sounds good though, I like the 3000 years thing. Well, I'll help in any way possible. I love the faceset. And good screens. Keep it up!!!

Title:
Post by: Tomi on June 30, 2005, 12:24:32 AM

I just did Tomi's battle charaset.  As you see, there is no magic animation.  Dont worry, battle animations (sweet battle animations I might add  XD) will be used.  What do you guys think?

Title:
Post by: Bart_Fatima on June 30, 2005, 12:44:26 AM

holy moley! that is some sweet graphics and poses!

Post by: VulcanRaven336 on June 30, 2005, 02:32:35 AM

Your game looks really good tomi!
Your story line was very much similar like mine. You see you know how when you first get rpg maker you immediately try to make a game? Well that was my first Idea of a game. my stroy was at least 40% similar to yours. My title for that game was called Kamikaze. But don't worry because I stopped making it. . .a long time ago.
Nice CMS tomi, I really like it.
Hit me up once it's done because I would really like to play it.

Post by: Ace of Spades on July 02, 2005, 12:31:11 AM

Nice battle char, you did a good job. (as usual) ;)

Title:
Post by: Tomi on July 02, 2005, 12:55:43 AM

I just finished the second main character in the game, Mortuus. Comments?

Title:
Post by: Luthien Ichijo on July 02, 2005, 12:57:48 AM

Hey Tomi, you going to add other races, or just Demons and Humans?

Title:
Post by: InsaneJP on July 02, 2005, 12:59:38 AM

cant wait to see your next character ;)

Title:
Post by: Tomi on July 02, 2005, 01:02:22 AM

Fenix, the 4th character, is a fox type race, and they are really short and mischeivious.  I called them fox demons, but I need a better name.  So the races in my game are Human, Demon, Half-Demon, and the Fox people. (suggestions for a name?)  And thanks for the comments.

Title:
Post by: Luthien Ichijo on July 02, 2005, 01:13:27 AM

How about The Kitsune (Means fox), The Shirogitsune or The Byakko (They both mean albino fox / white (spiritual) fox) Yes they are Japanese -.-

Title:
Post by: Bobb on July 02, 2005, 02:28:20 AM

Lookin' good! Keep it up! Can't wait for Fenix.

hey nice character man.....i like the weapon ;)

Yeah, coolness. i've gotta make a few sprites for my game soon *grumble* They won't be nearly as good as yours.

Title:
Post by: Linkforce on July 05, 2005, 03:32:10 AM

Game looks real good Tomi.  I just finished reading everything, and it sounds very interesting.  Looking for more screens and updates soon. :D

Title:
Post by: Tomi on July 05, 2005, 03:52:55 AM

Thanks for the comments! And I am almost done with the final character, so from there I'm going to take a break from spriting and go into map-making-mode. (I cycle from coding-mode, to sprite-mode, to map mode, to story-mode, to event-mode, and anything-else-you-can-think-of-mode. :D )  So, yeah.  Keep them comments rollin!

Title:
Post by: ZeroKirbyX on July 05, 2005, 04:03:26 AM

Lookin good. But demon + holy = oxymoron = greatness. I wouldn't really consider half-demon a race, caus ethen they're half human, which is 2 separate races..

Title:
Post by: Luthien Ichijo on July 05, 2005, 07:23:08 AM

The other half doesnt really have to be human either does it? It could be half....Cow and still be called a Half Demon. @_@ But...true it would be a Hybrid race...but a race nodoubt! O_O

I called him half-demon, because in a lot of games, elf + human = half-elf.  So using my sweet math skillz, I figured that demon + human = half-demon.  So, yeah.  And in this game, Tomi finds out that, contrary to human legend, not all demons are evil.  Thats why Tomi can walk around without geting killed by all the NPCs. :D

Man, I'm suprised how fast a game thread falls!  

And yes, I am now in mapmakingmode, and I have a screen of a town where Mortuus used to live.  Enjoy!

Well, I was watching Insane's trailer, and after seeing all the really sweet move, I was like, *twitch* moves *twitch* are too *twitch* awesome *twitch* must *twitch* attempt to make *twitch* some *twitch*. So I did, attempt that is. Here is an, for now, unnamed move for Tomi. Please comment and give suggestions!

Title:
Post by: InsaneJP on July 12, 2005, 02:00:22 AM

ive seen this move in action and i can say its very good and i like how its so original! i never would of thought of it myself!!

Dunno if anyone asked, but is this for 2k or 2k3? I know you have battle animations, but they can be used for battle chars in 2k3.

Title:
Post by: Bobb on July 12, 2005, 06:43:22 AM

He's using RM2k3.

Yes, I am using RM2k3.  I have battle charas, but they will only be used for idle, dead, getting hit, and status conditions. The rest will be battle animations, so I can make it look cooler than some 3 frame animation.

Title:
Post by: Tomi on July 30, 2005, 01:39:48 PM

Whoa! On page 3 already?!?  Wow.

Anyway, I have finished the rush system. (*cheers*).  The only problem with it is that there is nothing visual about it now, so screenshots would be useless.  If someone could find out how to get around showing pictures in battle, or somehow make battle animations to work sort of like a picture, please tell me.  It will make Rush awesomer than it already is. :D

Title:
Post by: RPG LORD on July 30, 2005, 01:54:40 PM

The story seems reasonable enough. I didn't read enough of the pages, but do you need a system graphic for it?

Title:
Post by: Tomi on July 30, 2005, 03:37:08 PM

Nope, I made my own. :D  But thanks for asking.

Title:
Post by: InsaneJP on July 30, 2005, 04:07:09 PM

hey Tomi why not have a message that just stays up top for the same time as you do thr rush like the message says left up left right and you hafta press it but you can make the message wait for so long so it stays with your timer also

Title:
Post by: Tomi on July 30, 2005, 11:58:31 PM

Insane, my good sir, you are a genious.  It looks sweet.  Now, the first screenshot of the Rush system!

Title:
Post by: drenrin2120 on July 31, 2005, 12:34:00 AM

nice dude! That is sweet, excepting that background, sorry but it don't match the monsterset. other than that, no complaints! goodjob! :D

Title:

I havent made/gotten any monster sets yet, that was just an RTP one I was using for testing.  But thanks!

The Rush system looks really really cool.  I'm keepin my eye on this one.  *writes it down in book of few good game that i will play*  Keep it up!  :D

Title:
Post by: Tomi on August 02, 2005, 09:30:18 PM

Ok, for the first time in probably a year (no exageration), I have some requests.  I need some midis made, and I am looking for someone who is very good at time of stuff, aka not me.  I will be very grateful to whoever can help me with this.  Thanks.

Title:
Post by: Tomi on August 03, 2005, 10:30:45 PM

WOOO!  *Bump*  

I have an update though.  The Battling card game I spoke of at the begining has evolved to become a battling Coin game.  InsaneJP and I thought of and worked on the idea of this game over AIM.  Here is the basic gameplay:

First you choose 5 coins from your pouch. Each type of coin has a different attack and defence power. At the beginning of each of the 3 rounds, a coin is flipped to see who is on offence and who is on defence. You then choose 3 coins from the 5 you have to put into battle. If you are on offence, it adds all of their attack powers to make a full attack on your opponent's defence. The defence adds all the toughness powers together to defend. The values are subtracted (higher - lower) and the one with the higher power wins. Then the winner chooses 1 coin from the opponents 3 that he used, and you get to put that coin in your arsenal. It goes on for 3 rounds, and the winner of at least 2 of the 3 battles wins, and keeps the coins he takes. So yeah.

What do you guys think?  All comments are welcome/needed!!!

Title:
Post by: maxine on August 03, 2005, 10:33:08 PM

sounds very interesting, sounds like a ultimate team over msn you 2.... I will look forward too see this system.. Keep it up !!!.. If you dont keep it up i will cryyy :(

Title:
Post by: Tomi on August 05, 2005, 09:48:46 PM

BUMP!  I would really like your guys' input on the Battling Coin Game Idea, as seen 2 posts above, such as ways to make it better without making the coding imposible.  Also, input on anything about my game is really appreciated.

Title:
Post by: Bobb on August 06, 2005, 07:29:53 PM

The coin game sounds awsome! And while I'm in this thread, nice battle midi, Al~len.

With so many threads, I seem to miss some great games! I'm glad I noticed this, it looks great! Btw, what do you need for midis. I'll see what I can do.

Title:
Post by: Shady Ultima on August 07, 2005, 06:56:15 PM

The game looks really great. Just one slight problem I found in the story...

There has been no human/demon interaction for 3000 years, yet your one character is a half-demon. It would make more sense if you gave him a mother who is a dragon or something, as opposed to a human.

Just my 2cents

Title:
Post by: Tomi on August 07, 2005, 10:28:53 PM

1) Demons live a LOT longer than humans (notice the age difference in the characters)

2) Your mother or father doesnt have to be human for you to be half demon.  As long as you have human blood in you, you are considered half demon because your blood is no longer completely demon.

Thanks for the comments.

Title:
Post by: Shady Ultima on August 08, 2005, 12:28:06 AM

Ok, good to see you have it cleared up! Just was checking to make sure you've got it taken care of  :)

Title:
Post by: Bobb on August 08, 2005, 12:51:00 AM

Tomi, you need to finish something soon, like an update :yell:

Title:
Post by: Tomi on October 20, 2005, 12:52:31 AM

WHOA!!!  *KA-BUMP*

Yes, so its been a long time since I've updated my game thread.  Just recently (2 days ago), I decided to restart my CMS.  I have a few reasons for this, but the main one is lack of organization.  So, yeah.  Also, monster ideas for my game would be greatly appreciated.  Ones like Spider, and demon world type animals.  I have maps for the first town and dungeon, but thats about it.

Also, I need some ideas for mini quests for the heros to go on.  Just simple things like hunting a certain animal for dinner, scaring all the bugs out of the elder's garden, stuff like that.  It would be great if you all could help me with this (credit will be given)

Title:
Post by: Mortuus on October 24, 2005, 04:15:21 PM

How about a quest where they have to find someone's kids and tell them to come home for dinner but a monster is in the way.

Monsters:

1) Hellhound
2) Shadow Golem
3) Centipede

There you go.
