Title: SilverFire
Post by: DragonBlaze on August 13, 2005, 12:17:42 AM

For those of you who have played any of my games, you know that they have a lot to do with dragons, I'm sorry, but this one is no exeption :p


Story:

A 50 year war between humans and dragons is finally coming to an end. Both sides want piece, but one final task remains. there are still a few who crave war. The game starts off with a green dragoness flying over a forest carrying an egg, when all of the sudden a black serpent starts pursuing her.The serpent fires a few shots at the dragon, causing her to drop the egg into the forest below. The two face off, and just before the serpent gets a shot off, the green dragon is able to release a burst of energy, when it dissapates, the two are nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile in the forest below, the egg hatches, and you start off on your journy. Starting off on a tutorial mission to find some food, Zesher, the little red dragon, learns a few things about the world as he tracks down a fox-like creature.

The main part of the game starts 14 years later as he is chased out of the forest by some unknown creatures. Although the war is over, a few skirmishes are still being fought on the outer rims of civilization. Being only 14, Zesher is easily manipulated to participate in some of these battles. He follows others blindly untill during one raid two orphans (Nioma and Jarrek) beg for them to stop. He listens, but then another dragon enters the scene called Zersevick, seeming oddly familuar, Zesher wishes to investigate. His efforts are in vain as the two break out into a fight, both are badly injured, Zersevick manages to flee the scene, while Zesher collapses on the ground. The people of the town want to kill him, but the two orphans manage to drag him out of town to a deserted cabin.

It takes a week for Zesher to recooperate, and during this time the three get to know eachother. Nioma is an adventurious girl who has always wanted to go looking for her real parents, Jarrek, her older brother, is more of the quit type and would rather settle down somewhere and start a farm. Unfortunatly for him, he's vowed to take care of his sister when the two were very little, so now he goes along with her wherever she goes to protect her. Anyway, Zesher has made quit a few enemies already, and the outer territories aren't a safe place, so he decides to travel to the capatol (Zaddamal). Nioma wants to come with in hopes of finding her partents, and thus Jarrek is dragged along as well. Secretly Zesher also wants to find Zersevick, he doesn't know why exactly, but he knows he must.

The plot quicly develops and thickens as the party learns more about themselves and who Zesher really is. Doubt sets in, it seems that for every step forward they take, they go back two while searching for answers, all the while as danger looms around every corner as they make their way to the capatol.

OK, a lot of the heroes are pretty young, but theres a time gap half way through or so when they go their seperate ways and grow up a bit. During the first half I'm not gonna set them off to save the world or anything like that, but it'll still be fun :)


Character Profiles:

Zesher
Age: 14
Race: Dragon
Description: Zesher is the hero of this story. He is easily manipulated and doesn't know who to trust. Although he considers Nioma and Jarrek friends, he feels alone, which is one of many reasons he's after the mysterious Zersevick. He strives to learn more about himself, but the answers he gets are not what he had hoped for.

Nioma

Race: Human
Description: Nioma has been an orphan for as long as she could remember. She is always on the look for a new adventure, whether its checking out a cave, or going on a dangerous quest to the capatol. She is always searching for her parents, but all she has of them is a single memory.

Jarreck

The party agrees to let her go once they reach the next town where she'll be able to get a transport.

Keckshio
Age: N/A
Race: N/A [name pending]

He was found by a group of scientists called Dark Moon, after being revived he was used as a test subject for a new mind controll device. He meets up with the party after escaping from the lab. However, after Dark Moon kidnaps Nioma, Keckshio must choose to run away or submit himself to a fate worse than death.

Kyruto
Age: 35
Race: Human
Description: Keckshio used to be a high ranking officer in the Zaddamal defence corp, however on one fatefull night that all changed when he exiled himself to a life of solitude. He is leery of being around people because he's afraid of what he is and what he might do.

Age 14
Race: Dragon
Description: Zersevick is a dragon who loves to fight, he has always been a loner. Destiny has choosen him to follow up on the same quest as Zesher, although he goes off on his own. Unlike the others he uses all means possible to find the answers he is looking for.

I'll be needing some voice actors for this game for battle skills and attacks, so if you have a microphone and would like to do some voice overs, please let me know :)

I have screens and I'm almost done with a very small demo, but since its made for a 'certain' system, I won't post them here. You'll have to talk to me elseware if you want to see the screens.


Voice Actors thus far:

Zesher - Weerd Thing
Nioma - open
Jarrek - Chocobomaster09
Yara - open
Sal'ahhadra - open
Keckshio - PyroAlchemist
Kyruto - Fortet
Zersevick - CoolZidane
[Name Pending] - Open

I'll take a shot at Zersevick's voice.

So this means her attacks will always miss when used against Undead and Constructs, because they have no life force.

LOL M I RITE?

Thanks :)

I don't really have his parts down yet because *spoiler* he doesn't come on your party till almost the end of the game, and even then its optional. *end of spoiler*

I'll give you the parts as soon as I get them though :)

Heres a pic I recently (as in 5 mins ago) touched up from an old ms paint drawing of Zersevick. I feel its best to get the feel for the character before trying to do voice overs for them :)

Hmm, I haven't really thought about that, lets say that she can lock on  to their negitive energy :p, otherwise I'll just set her accuracy down really low for them.

Very good man, I like this story a lot, and it seems much better than A Dragon World's. I look foward to your demo, and even though it's made with this 'certain system' I'll still play it because I'm very interested. ^_^

Post by: Starduster on August 13, 2005, 02:12:01 AM

THe war type thing is quickly being overused but i can't really talk cause mine has war in it too :P besides that it looks pretty nice, I love dragons as well and to see a game revolving around them is good. I'm REALLY glad you didn't just do a team consisting only of dragons, that would have been a real dissapointment. So I'm glad to hear about this, i'll be sure to keep up with it.

Title:
Post by: DragonBlaze on August 13, 2005, 02:22:24 AM

Thanks guys :)

@starduster - I agree the war thing is over used, but in times of peace, there really isn't as much drama, it just works better this way. I want a mix of humans and dragons to add conflict and diversity, it works really well with two species that where just at war with each other :)

Post by: InsaneJP on August 13, 2005, 02:43:35 AM

hey i like this game so far...i personally love dragons myself so this game is good enough for me to play it already!!.....and i wish i had a microphone....i might go get one!....but i got a really deep voice like a barry white kinda voice lol

Thanks :) If you would like to get a mic and help out it'd be great, but I don't want you to feel obligated to buy anything. Anyway, a deep voice would be good for a few chars :)

Thanks :), I've had this game planned out for at least two years now, but there was always something keeping me from making it. But now I'm really happy that I actually got started.

hey thats cool....i been meaning to buy one anyway and there not expensive really so i might go and do that...when im tired its like CRAZY deep so that could help for a villian or sumthing

I think the names can use some work though. They sound like you tossed together a bunch of cool vowels and stuff and made some name.

Theres too many K's.

The key to a good party of heros is balance.

I can't wait till I play that introduction when the egg falls into a forest and all that.
Amazing story, DB.. I will have huge expections for this one.

Btw, may I ask you.. Some of those characters there are in your other game.. Is this before or after the events of your first game?

However, I wish you luck with this one. ^_^

I agree, I tried to diverse the names and the heros themselves as much as I could, I'm not the best with names though. These names are just the defults though, you'll be able to select most of the hero names :)

Sure, I still need to write up the lines, but I'll have it to you soon :)

I used the characters from this game as a basis for the other. I originally started making the other game as a contest entry for another site, it was just gonna have a bunch of mini games and such in the town. I then slowly developed it into a game after the contest was cancelled. So the characters and the game aren't really ralated at all. The only two characters that will be almost exactly the same are Yara and Kyruto, and I didn't really get to them in my last game.

I'll probably work on my other game in between this one as well, cuz I really don't have much left to do on that one.

Title:
Post by: Dragonium on August 13, 2005, 04:44:13 PM

Sweet. Very nice story. ;)

I got something to say. I'd like to try and do a voice over for something, if there's a small part. Say for an NPC or something, not a character that'll be used for the entire game. I can't spend all my time recording myself. :D

Trouble is, of course, I happen to be British, I have a weird accent, my American accent sucks. So if there's any character with a slightly... Odd accent (Say, something like Wakka, or something similar), then I might like to have a go.

Any thoughts on that? :|

Title:
Post by: DragonBlaze on August 13, 2005, 04:45:14 PM

Yeah, I can have you do a part for an enemy if you would like Drag :) Or err, accent gives a nice variety to the cast, so if theres a char you want to be it'll be fine.

Hmm, I decided to post two screenies from the intro :D

Notice the rm2k3 resolution, meaning these could quit possibly have been made with rm2k3  ;)

But these two are the only ones I'm able to post :(

Title:
Post by: DragonBlaze on August 13, 2005, 04:49:20 PM

And heres the second :D

Title:
Post by: Dragonium on August 13, 2005, 05:01:16 PM

Very cool screen. I like the way nearly all your resources you use, not just in this game, are custom. Makes the game instantly more likeable.

And an enemy would be good. Or a shopkeeper or something. :)

awww man thats great i love the dragons!

Post by: Fortet on August 13, 2005, 07:56:08 PM

I could do a voice. My age goes into accout here... I guess Jarreck would be the best bet for me. If that's okay and nobody is already doing his. XP I'd have limited time to do it, though. But I can hopefully get some done every weekend.

I still don't get it, what maker are you using for it?

very nice dragonblaze!!!

Title:
Post by: DragonBlaze on August 13, 2005, 08:54:36 PM

Thanks guys :)

@ Fortet

Its a first come first serve basis here for the voice acting, chocobomaster09 beat you to it. Age really isn't a factor here, I can use a wav modifyer to adjust the voices to match the characters. Otherwise it would be really hard to find someone who is in their 30s to do the voice of Kyruto.


@ RPG LORD

Its gonna be made with RMXP, since charas doesn't support rmxp, I won't post the demo or any contents that show off rmxp such as 640 x 480 resolution screenshots, or anything else that'll promote rmxp.

Title:
Post by: Fortet on August 13, 2005, 09:09:01 PM

Darn you! XD j/k
I guess I could do Kyruto, then. :D As long as I can help.

Post by: Rikushinblade on August 13, 2005, 09:11:08 PM

The overall game looks really goos and screens are great.  I can take a shot at the voices since i have done a voice rpg before :D

Yuh-huh. :D

Meh, the microphone built in to my MP3 player is actually better than my normal microphone. O_o

Just a thought: Does Keckshio speak much? For some reason, I have visions of a Kimahri type character with a very deep, slow voice. :)

I still stand by shopkeeper or enemy.

Well my voice is kinda like aurons not to be full of myself i got a mic and i have pre-recorded voices of myself

Title:
Post by: Dragonium on August 13, 2005, 09:39:28 PM

My voice is nothing like Auron's. Although it ounds a lot like him when I say "Hmph". Which you could argue, contributes most of my vocabulary. O_o

Title:
Post by: Leon_1990 on August 13, 2005, 09:41:13 PM

If squall had a voice , I would sound like him (with a scottish accent of course lol), cos' most of my vocabulary is the word "Whatever..."

aahh.... that word has gotten me into sooooo much trouble :)

Title:
Post by: DragonBlaze on August 14, 2005, 01:34:34 AM

I finally got all the parts down, so I can send them to people now :D

Lol, thanks :).

Alright :), I'll see what I can find for you. You said you had some pre-recorded stuff? Think you could send me something?

 

Quote

No, Keckshio isn't much like Kimahri at all, I'll attach a picture of him. He's vary out going, talks a lot, and sometimes gets annoying because he talks really wierd. He walks on all fours, but in battle he uses a large katana like sword.

@ Leon

I don't think I'm gonna have any scottish drunkards in battle, so sorry  :p, but like I said earlier, accents just add to a character, so don't let it discourage you from trying out a part.


Heres the voice actors for the main characters thus far. I posted this on the first post, and I'll update it there.

Zesher - open
Nioma - open
Jarrek - Chocobomaster09
Yara - open
Sal'ahhadra - open
Keckshio - open
Kyruto - Fortet
Zersevick - CoolZidane
[Name Pending] - open


And heres Keckshio, I found this picture, but its pretty close on how he'll look. I'll have a differant outfit though, and throw some armor on him.

Well Keckshio is a boy, I don't know about the creature in the pic though :p Thats just to get an idea of what he will look like :)

Title:
Post by: PyroAlchemist on August 14, 2005, 01:54:46 AM

Alright then. Well if it is then I would like to try to be it's voice. BTW FOR ALL WHO DIDN'T KNOW BUT SHOULDA, I'MA BOY!! :p But I want to be that blue guy if I can.

man dragonblaze, did u draw those pics? pretty nice, i cant do nothing like that!

Title:
Post by: DragonBlaze on August 14, 2005, 02:46:01 PM

Well I drew the ones in the screenshots, I didn't draw the one of Keckshio. I didn't think I could draw them as well. I was just scribling around in ms paint, and I drew the outline of the chars that I needed, instead of  taking the next 3 days to shade it and everything, I was like "what the heck" and I tried it in photoshop. It only took me an hour and it turned out pretty good, especially for my first attempt.

@ Insane

Sorry but Pyro just beat you to it, once you get a mic, you're gonna have to talk to him about it :cow: <-- I felt like I needed to attach some sort of smilie, but I didn't know what to put  :(

Title:

hey its cool i dont mind! ....im still gunna get a mic soon hopefully tho mayb i could be someone else! :]]

Post by: Moosetroop11 on August 14, 2005, 04:25:21 PM

E-mail if you need any more voiceovers after this, but I doubt you will... I can do a huge amount of voices so lump me with any that others don't want to do :)

This looks really good, good luck!

Title:
Post by: Robotam on August 14, 2005, 04:54:30 PM

Keckshio sure is one cool dragon.
Please let me voice for him, I just have to get my mic back which shouldn't take too long.

EDIT: Damn.. I just noticed someone's already doing his voice.

Title:
Post by: Dragonium on August 14, 2005, 05:34:45 PM

Hmm, many of the characters are being taken, I see.

Well, never mind. Can I do a sort of semi-important NPC? :)

Title:
Post by: PyroAlchemist on August 14, 2005, 05:48:36 PM

Wow. A lot of people wish to be the cool blue dragon. :| Good thing I'm fast at typing. But in case I can't perform my duties, InsaneJP is next in line.

Title:
Post by: Dragonium on August 14, 2005, 05:57:25 PM

I thought Keckshio wasn't a Dragon?

Crap, I just realised how good my stuck-up princess-type voice is. XD Maybe I could try for Sal'ahhadra. :D

Meh. My American accent sounds too girly anyway. But my other accents are better.

Title:
Post by: DragonBlaze on August 14, 2005, 08:24:03 PM

Yeah, Keckshio isn't a dragon :p Originally I was planning on making him one (which is why he was one in my previous game), but I decided against it. Although theres a lot of dragons in the game, I don't want to overload the game with them.

I need to check what parts are left and which ones are taken, everyones replying so fast and its hard for me to keep tack of them :p, basically all the guy parts are filled and all the female ones are open.

There are a lot of important NPCs that people can voice for if they wish, but just to let you guys know they'll all be 'bad guys' or at least they will be when you fight them. Since voice overs are only for battles, I don't really have any 'good guy' npcs since you won't need to fight them. I know there are gonna be a group of three NPCs that you'll have to fight a few times later in the game that will be from Keckshio's tribe/race, theres the main bad guy, an evil demom type guy, a dragon slayer, a few dragons, a hand full of milatary people, and a bunch more important npcs that can be taken.

I have a question..I have a microphone and I have a voice that can be used for a younger character (I'm 11) So if you have a young villain or hero I can come in handy. I can modify my voice to serve as an older character or a female. How do I record my voice? I have the mike plugged in but how does it work.

I said I may NOT be able to. "But in case I can't perform my duties" is what was said. But I dunno yet. I'm hoping I can. That blue dude is awesome.

I don't need the voices for a while. Right now I hit a dead spot, basically I need to make a ton of graphics before I can go any further. It'll be at least a month before I get any other characters in the party. So take your time, you don't need to be in any kind of rush :) But yeah, unless pyro dies, he gets the part, but like I said earlier there are 3 npcs like the blue dude that'll need voice overs :)

Alright, click on start, then go to accesories, then entertainment, then sound recorder. All the male main characters are already filled up, but since you're 11, you may be able to stretch it as a young female char (with a little help from my sound modifyers). Otherwise I can just set you up for an NPC char. :)

Most of the time when someone tries to impersonate someone from the oposite gender, it turns out sounding really cheesy. But since there aren't too many girls here, I may have to improvise *shudders*

This game looks nice. I think we're all in for a treat if it's half as good as your last game (well, maybe not half but you know what I mean). Anyway, if there's any voice you need someone for you want me to do, I could try, even though I don't like my voice too much it could sound good in a game. I also could disguise/modify it.

Well right now I can't do a thing untill I get more graphics made, so basically thats what I'm doing. Otherwise I'm fixing up the battle system, it works with one player, but when you add more the stuff gets messed up  :(

Story:

A 50 year war between humans and dragons is finally coming to an end. Both sides want piece, but one final task remains. there are still a few who crave war. The game starts off with a green dragoness flying over a forest carrying an egg, when all of the sudden a black serpent starts pursuing her.The serpent fires a few shots at the dragon, causing her to drop the egg into the forest below. The two face off, and just before the serpent gets a shot off, the green dragon is able to release a burst of energy, when it dissapates, the two are nowhere to be seen.

Meanwhile in the forest below, the egg hatches, and you start off on your journy. Starting off on a tutorial mission to find some food, Zesher, the little red dragon, learns a few things about the world as he tracks down a fox-like creature.

The main part of the game starts 14 years later as he is chased out of the forest by some unknown creatures. Although the war is over, a few skirmishes are still being fought on the outer rims of civilization. Being only 14, Zesher is easily manipulated to participate in some of these battles. He follows others blindly untill during one raid two orphans (Nioma and Jarrek) beg for them to stop. He listens, but then another dragon enters the scene called Zersevick, seeming oddly familuar, Zesher wishes to investigate. His efforts are in vain as the two break out into a fight, both are badly injured, Zersevick manages to flee the scene, while Zesher collapses on the ground. The people of the town want to kill him, but the two orphans manage to drag him out of town to a deserted cabin.

It takes a week for Zesher to recooperate, and during this time the three get to know eachother. Nioma is an adventurious girl who has always wanted to go looking for her real parents, Jarrek, her older brother, is more of the quit type and would rather settle down somewhere and start a farm. Unfortunatly for him, he's vowed to take care of his sister when the two were very little, so now he goes along with her wherever she goes to protect her. Anyway, Zesher has made quit a few enemies already, and the outer territories aren't a safe place, so he decides to travel to the capatol (Zaddamal). Nioma wants to come with in hopes of finding her partents, and thus Jarrek is dragged along as well. Secretly Zesher also wants to find Zersevick, he doesn't know why exactly, but he knows he must.

The plot quicly develops and thickens as the party learns more about themselves and who Zesher really is. Doubt sets in, it seems that for every step forward they take, they go back two while searching for answers, all the while as danger looms around every corner as they make their way to the capatol.

OK, a lot of the heroes are pretty young, but theres a time gap half way through or so when they go their seperate ways and grow up a bit. During the first half I'm not gonna set them off to save the world or anything like that, but it'll still be fun :)

I'll be needing some voice actors for this game for battle skills and attacks, so if you have a microphone and would like to do some voice overs, please let me know :)

I have screens and I'm almost done with a very small demo, but since its made for a 'certain' system, I won't post them here. You'll have to talk to me elseware if you want to see the screens.


Voice Actors thus far:

Zesher - open
Nioma - open
Jarrek - Chocobomaster09
Yara - open
Sal'ahhadra - open
Keckshio - PyroAlchemist
Kyruto - Fortet
Zersevick - CoolZidane
[Name Pending] - Open

Looks like a great game! Do you mind if I try my hand at
Zesher's voice? Can't wait for the demo!

XD I WAS JOKING. Chill out. :D

If I am to do anything at all, I stand by an NPC or an enemy. Or something. I've said it 4 times now, I think you get it.

By the way, I note that you said you wanted voices for skills in battle. I was thinking, there're the three types of battle voices, and I was wondering which one you wanted. There are the "Name", the "Quip", and the "Name/Quip", right?

For example, a skill called "Frost Wave".

Name: "Frost Wave!".

Quip: "Freeze!".

Name/Quip: "You're gonna freeze... Frost Wave!".

Know what I mean?

I was thinking of having the saying along with the skill name, but i decided against it, basically to save space. I'll most likely add the quip for a few of the more powerfull spells, but I won't have them for the weaker spells.
