Title: The Warlord Chronicals: The Winter King
Post by: Jaded Rockstar on August 09, 2005, 06:18:29 PM: My other project (Iron Wolf) is currently on hold. Why? I hear you ask, the answer is: Writers block. But anyway, this isn't a medieval game but is based in the dark ages.

Story: In the Dark Ages, a legendary warrior struggles to unite Britain...

Uther, the High King of Britain, has died, leaving the infant Mordred as his only heir. His uncle, the loyal and gifted warlord Arthur, Arthur now rules as caretaker for a country which has fallen into chaos - threats emerge from within the British kingdoms while vicious Saxon armies stand ready to invade. As he struggles to unite Britain and hold back the Saxon enemy at the gates, Arthur is embroiled in a doomed romance with beautiful Guinevere. Will the old world magic of Merlin be enough to turn the tide of war in his favour?

Your screen isn't bad, but you really want to go all out on the intro scenes, after all, its the first thing a person will see in your game, and you want to make a good impression and get them hooked on it :). Like I said, you're screen isn't bad, but it isn't all that impressive either.
