Wow...posting this topic actually makes me nervous since I know you're all such experts! So here's my idea for a game. It's based originally on an rp my friends and I did. It's not exactly the same, but it has the same main characters and follows the same concept and major plot events (mostly, anyways). So here's the link to the site! Please let me know what you think.

Nice game. You are a good maker aswell. Everyone is if they just put alittle time on getting it all. Nice screenies
-
impressive site, i'll look for it.
-
Love the site :D! I can't wait till a demo comes out~~~ :jumpin:
-
Yeah nice site.
I looked at your screenies, they looked pretty good, but some are a bit empy.
-
Could you tell me which ones? I can go back and edit those maps if they look empty.
-
Basicly all the outside ones could use a bit of touching up, they're pretty good now, but I think they can be better. I suggest adding some differant ground tiles in places, dark grass, long grass, dirt, light grass, or whatever your chipset has in it, you can also add a variety of little plants and rocks in places.
You're game overall so far is looking pretty nice, good luck finishing it :)
-
You look like an expert to me. :)
-
Er, okay.
To me, all of those maps look a bit empty, and you have a bunch of graphical errors in all of them. Minor, and prolly not noticed by those who don't look closley, but still, you might wanna fix them up.

It's been a while, but now that I have the entire plot written out (extensively, I'm talking language, history of the world and certain objects, legends, religon) I thought I'd just add a little update to this thread so it doesn't disappear!
I know I put these on the site, but my firend informed me those on XP with an 800x600 resolution are not able to view it. Also, these are a bit more descriptive than on the site. Please keep in mind these aren't all the playable characters, they are just the main ones. Temporary ones are left off, as well as an entire set of characters who explaining would only give away the plot. Sorry! ;) At the end of the game I'm planning on linking to somewhere where you can get more complete description
The name meanings are very brief here. Some longer explanations can be given without spoilers, so if you would like, I'll post them. Also, not found on the site, but found here are special notes for certain characters.
------------------------------------------------
Updated Plot Overview:
For long before anyone can remember, two warring clans have existed- those from the north who worship The Immortal, Phoebus, and those from the south who worship The Immortal, Reţe. 700 years ago, the southern country of Lithia seized control of the continent, under the leadership of the Lycurgian Warlord, Kanae, whose bloodline could be traced back to the Domasdaeg, the Judge of the Heavens. At the peak of his power, Kanae was unexpectedly overthrown and his country was taken by the good Queen Ishia. However, his empire still remained under the power of the Reţeans.
Now, humanity exists in fear of those that they call "demons." Day after day, the borders of their country are destroyed as the continent is reclaimed and their race is exterminated.
On the eve of war, Queen Ishia receives a strange message from an even stranger messenger. Without further detail, the warrior, Nichi Aitsu, along with his newly found companion from a lost (and once-thought mythical) island, must leave the safety of the city in search of military aid from the lawless countryside. Soon, this simple task takes a turn for the unexpected and the two find themselves in for the adventure of their lives.
------------------------------------------------
Classes
Yes. This uses the class system. Unlike most, however, the classes are not as limited. There are certain ones which excel in physical attacks and others which excel in magic, but most characters can use both with reasonable success. The exceptions are Artemis and Glenn who can only use physical attacks. Also, the success of physical attacks with both Belial and Titania are dependant upon their skill in magic.
New abilities are learned through levelling up, except in the case of Belial who can learn many additional skills through items and Titania who needs certain items to activate the learning of skills.
------------------------------------------------
.Character Descriptions.
Note: There is no main character. The story revolves around everyone. The following are listed according to the order that they join your party.

Origin: ?
Age: 26
Sex: Male
Height: 5’7”
Race: Dia Sou
Weapon: Sword
Name Origin: Means Sun. (even after beating the game, you'd need to think to understand this one)
Blood Type: B
Nichi is not new to the world, and has seen his share of battle. He was raised in Gracia, and spent his life training to defend it. Serious and hard-working, he sees the world in black and white: good or evil, as is the norm for those from his city.

Race: Theiran

Name Origin: Means hatred.
Blood type: AB
Young and impulsive, Malice was raised on the lost island of Theira, to be an adeption warrior. Because of the nature of his kingdom, he was rarely allowed to use his skills other than in training, and so he constantly fights with an edge of excitement. He is free and easy-going, but his attitude is soon to be faced with an unforgiving world. Though he tries to keep up his light nature, as time goes by he has a harder and harder time accepting and understanding the reality of life.
*You cannot change Malice's weapons, but you can "level" them up to increase attack and also power of spells.
| Artemis | Sceadu |

Age: 36
Sex: Male

Name Origin: Named after Artemis, goddess of the hunt.
Blood Type: A
A stranger to the world of Palis, Artemis travelled through a portal on purpose when he heard news that someone he had been searching for had been pulled into one years before. A loner, and a bit mysterious, he has a dark aura about him, which makes other un-easy. To him, his self-appointed mission is what is most important, and he will not let anyone stand in the way of his search.
| Belial | O'Shauva |
Origin: It's been so long he can't remember
Age: ?
Sex: Male
Height: 6’0”
Race: Demon
Weapon: Enchanted Cards
Name Origin: Named after demon in the Bible.
Blood type: ?
An unbeatable card shark, Belial never loses a game. Though he will not speak of his past, he is known for being different than others of his race. To him, the world must exist in balance, and it is every demons duty to uphold that balance. Belial is unpredictable, and seems to have his own skewed vision of morality which for some reason always turns in his favour.
*Additional skills can be attained through the use of cards, and special attacks can be gained through a "lucky" sidequest.

Age: 17
Sex: Female
Height: 5'3"
Race: Lađian
Weapon: Silver Flute
Name Origin: Means "white queen/faerie."

Pulled into Palis during a hurricane, Titania is quiet and does not adjust easily to the violent surroundings. Raised to believe in the importance of peace, she at first fights the idea of war and unknowingly stifles her own magic. Though she is mortal, her Life Prescence is disturbingly strong.
*Can learn elemental magic if the right objects are attained (fire/water stones will allow her to learn skills from that element). By default, she learns light elemental skills.
| Glenn | Cahan |
Origin: 1428, Terra
Age: 27
Sex: Male
Height: 5'11"
Race: Human

Blood Type: AB
Righteous, and easily respectable, Glenn comes from Terra. As a knight, he believes in the value of loyalty, and the need for order in the world. Though it is not known how, he was once acquainted with Artemis, and the two seem to share a brotherly bond. Even in the deepest of chaos, Glenn manages to keep a level head and persevere despite the danger.
| Syne | Rya |
Origin: Synic
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Height: 5'9"
Race: Zabasu
Weapon: Sword
Name Origin: means "Next"
Blood type: O
Young, bubbly, and beautiful, Syne comes from a land of eternal chaos. Armed with her sword and temper, she's nearly un-matchable on the battlefield. Fighting aside, Syne is friendly and always ready to cheer everyone up, despite the circumstances.
| Kaarina | Rose |
Origin: ?, Palis
Age: 19
Sex: Female
Height: 5'5
Race: ? Human
Weapon: Pike
Name Origin: Means "underworld"
Blood Type: B
Kaarina was orphaned at a young age, but taken in by a group of gypsies who raised her as their own. Spunky and ill-mannered, she is an excellent and agile fighter as well as a posessor of deceptive magic. Depending on how you play the game, she may or may not join your party.
----------------------------------------------
Also, I have some ideas written into my plot and I'm really not sure if they're cliche or not. Why can't I just read a guide? Well...these things have certain similarities but are not entirely the same. I'd really appreciate someone (who doesn't mind the plot being ruined for them) to give me some advice. Please PM!
Also, some feedback is welcome. I'd really like to know what you think of the characters etc.

Yeah, it's been awhile.
Looked over your website. Not half bad. Your screenshots are a bit empty, and one of the things that I think Chaotic was talking about was how your roofs overlap. You have it in twos. You should have the bottom go all the way except for the last set of tiles, then do the top.
Other then that, sounds swell.
-
If you're seeing multiple screenshots then you're probably looking at a version of the site your computer already saved. Try refreshing.
Right now there's only one up because I've redone so many maps that those ones are no longer accurate. Also, the one that's up right now has no other sprites in it because I haven't finished making all my NPCs. (correction: I made them, but I'm running windows ME which by default crashes when you finish your work)
Thanks for the feedback though! I guess from my point of view, they just seemed like bumps in the roofs. I thought it was supposed to be like that!
