The Lords of Time who watch over the world and the Flow of time summoned 4 powerful Heroes to fight the Demon Lord and his Minions.

The one remaining Hero became a Lord of Time to watch over these lands, His name was Tymus.
Exactly 500 years after the Demon lord was defeated, darkness has been growing throughout the Land. Tymus has noticed this increased demon activity and Knows what’s coming. Tymus and the other Lords of Time Gather there powers and summon 4 new Heroes to help Save The World from the Growing Threat. -=Game Starts=-
*** SPOILERS AHEAD ***
[spoiler]
Upon landing in the world Tymus communicates telepathically with you telling you where he is. When the Heroes Find Tymus He informs you of the Growing Threats in the Land, Mainly the Growing Undead Threat and the Nearby Blue Nation. The Blue Nation is a Race of Humans that were once friendly but now have a much darker Demeanor. During this conversation an enemy Appears who insults the new Heroes. Tymus instantly recognizes the Foe. Its Dylon of the Dark Council.
The Dark Council is a group of very Powerful Dark Magi. They are the ones responsible for summoning the Demon lord and helping to open the Demon Portals. Seeing one of the Council here, on earth, instantly Informs Tymus what’s happening. They are trying to Resurrect the Demon lord!!
After a Quick Magic attack Tymus injures Dylon forcing him to flee. It’s time to start cleaning up this land of all the Evil. Tymus then tells you to clear out the Undead Threat or what ever is making the Undead Thrive. Tymus then Heads to Times End.
Times End is where all Strands of time intersect. It is a safe haven for all Heroes of Time, including past and Present and Future.
After fighting Deep enough into the Graveyard you stumble upon a Necromancer Stone. This stone boosts the Controlling power of a Necromancer allowing him to support a much larger minion Army. Before entering the Grave Crypts Dylon appears and attacks the Heroes. At this point in the game he completely obliterates your Team. After the defeat he laughs and leaves claiming the Undead will finish you off. After killing the Necromancers, the Necromancer Stone dies and releases almost all of the Undead. The Final Undead also Gives you a key that allows access to the Bone Crypts, which is a Grinding zone with Powerful Monsters.
With the Undead Threat Stomped you return to Tymus who rewards you. He then informs you of a Meeting going on in the Counselors Room. An important meeting between the more powerful Beings in the Land. After some debate about how to deal with the Now Evil Blue Nation another Secret is uncovered. The Phoenix Nation, The Largest organized civilization in the Land has also been tainted. The Dark Council has convinced the Phoenix Lords to fight for the Demon lord. Promised with Power and wealth even their powerful nation could not comprehend. You also learn the Phoenix Nation is allied with the Blue nation. Suddenly, a dark flash of smoke explodes in the room. Several Dark Figures appear. You recognize Dylon from the Dark Counsel as well as two new Cloaked figures. Tymus Demands they leave Times end Immediately and never return. After refusing to leave, Benithous, Whose Led the Time Guard for almost 1000 years attacks one if the Phoenix lords. Several Time Guard Soldiers charge in and engage the Phoenix Lords. Tymus and the other Time Lords start blasting the Dark Counsel with Magic. After several minutes of combat, the Dark counsel with the Phoenix Lords open a Portal and Flee. During the Fight Several Time guards were slain as well as Mr. Hour, one of the Time Lords, was injured in the Combat. After this calm down from the attack, Tymus asks you to assassinate the Blue Nations King. Leaderless The Blue Nation will no longer be a Threat.
An army of soliders heavily protects the Blue Nations Main gate. The Heroes remember talking to someone who informed them of a Secret entrance in the Nearby Forest. After some searching you find a Time guard. He shows you the secret entrance. The Secret entrance brings you inside right near the Kings Throne room. Upon confronting the Blue Nations king, he informs you of the Special Training he’s gotten from one of the Phoenix Lords. After a tough fight you Slay the King. Suddenly a Puff of Smoke fills the Room. Dylon Appears: “How can this be?” Dylon is so infuriated by the fact you killed the Blue Nations king and thwarted his Plans. Dylon attacks you once again, but this time you must win against him. Heroes: “Were a lot stronger than the last time we fought Dylon. Prepare to Meet your Match.” After defeating Dylon he begs for his life, But You Chop off his head and end it. Dark Smoke and evil looking spirits flow out of his bloody neck, but soon dissipate while his body burns up in black flames.
Upon returning to Tymus you inform him the Blue nations King is Slain as well as Dylon is Slain. Tymus can hardly believe you defeated Dylon! He rewards you for feat of Power.
With the undead defeated, the Blue Nation Leaderless and having a Dark Counsel member slain its time to focus on the Demons. There are 3 Demon Portals starting to be opened as we speak. One in the nearby Forest. Another in a Cave in the Phoenix Hills to the West. The last Portal is in The Flame Skar far to the East.
When you find the First Portal you notice its still very small but there are Demon Mages working it open. The Heroes Slay the Mages and Destroy the Portal.
When you find the Second Portal, there are some stronger Demons defending the Mages. After taking out them and the Mages you close the portal.
The Last portal is deep within an Inferno Tooth Clan Cave. The Inferno-Tooths are a nasty band of Inferno Orcs. After fighting your way to the Portal and slaying the Demon guards and the Demon Mages you Close the portal and return to Tymus for your reward.
Tymus has detected more Demon Activity! He needs you to goto Flamespire Mountain in the Flame Skar and find and kill the Demons there. As far as Tymus can tell they are either trying to harness the Volcano Power or use it as a weapon.
After fighting Deep into Flamespire Mountain you find a Fully opened Demon Portal. Several Demons are passing into the world proving its functionality. Tymus talks to you with Telepathy saying that this portal is not closable. He suggests you charge through into the Demon world and Find the Dark Counsel and stop them.
The powerful heat as you enter the portal hits you like a wall. Its much harder to move let alone Fight in this World. Its very Fiery and hot here. There is a lot of Lava and Jagged Rocks everywhere.
Tymus speaks up again. Apparently To get into the Demon Lords Fortress you will need to destroy 5 demonic Runes. The Runes all store Demonic Energy Powering the Demonic lords revival as well as Locking the Main Door.
Each rune is guarded by a Greater Demon and many Normal and Lesser demons. After dealing with the demons and destroying the Rune, a Powerful Rune Demon is Summoned.
Each rune is deeper and deeper into the Demon world. Heroes will fight many powerful and unique demons along the way. Also The Rune Demons are much stronger than even the Greater Demons you fought.
When you get to the Last rune, you can spot the Magically Sealed Gate ahead. The Demon Lords Fortress is Close. After destroying the last Rune the magical Seal on the Door explodes in a bright Red light.
After opening the door the Heroes are Swarmed by many powerful Demons all trying to stop you from getting to there master. After swathing through the Crowds of Demons you find the Dark counsel. They are still summoning The Demon lord! This is perfect the Heroes think, we can end this now!
Skarlon blocks your way, one of the Last Dark Counsel. He must die! After an intense battle the Heroes defeat Skarlon and turn there focus towards The Grand Master of the Dark Counsel.
All of a sudden the Earth starts to shake. The Fortress starts to crumble, and you notice something you thought would never happen. A Large fiery hole in the ground starts to open. The Demon lord has been revived Again! The Heroes attack The Grand Master of the Dark counsel wounding him. The Demon lord stands up stretching. The Demon lord towers over the Heroes like a Giant. The Grand Master of the Dark Counsel opens a Portal for the Demon lord, which he Enters. The Grand Master turns and faces you with a Grin. The Heroes engage the Grand master in an Apocalyptic Battle but eventually the Grand Master Falls. Enough is enough, think the Heroes who Slay the Grand Master and end his 1000 year Reign Chaos.
The Heroes try to portal back to Times end, but are unable to use their portals in the Demon lands. The Heroes start heading back to the Demon Portal Entrance. Along the way back Tymus speaks through telepathy. “Help heroes The Demon Lord is at Times end! We cant hold him back much longer!”
After Hearing this the Heroes run as fast as they can back to there world. They jump through the Demon gate and instantly portal back to Times end.
The Heroes land in times end just long enough to find Tymus and Benithous fighting the Demon Lord. The Heroes help them by attacking him also. You Notice Segmond Slain on the Ground, a new level of Anger fuels your Attacks. After some intense battling the Demon lord smashes all of you away. The Demon Lord turns his gaze to Mr. Hour whos casting some nasty lightning spells at him. With one swift Stab of his Demon Blade, Mr. Hour gets impaled and then tossed aside like Yesterdays Garbage. Benithous and Thalithous both fill with rage and rush the Demon lord. The Heroes are stumbling back to there feet in hopes of helping them. By the time the Heroes get there Benithous suffers a Nasty Slash Severing his Arm. With a powerful Yell Thalithous Lunges at the Demon plunging his Spear into the Demons Neck. The Demon Lord Lets out a huge roar and snaps the Spear out of his Neck then Backhands Thalithous sending him flying into a Statue. The Heroes continue to attack the beast who seems barely phased by your best attacks. After some intense combat your Heroes are drained of there energy and still unable to defeat The Demon Lord. Tymus continues to blast the Demon lord with his most powerful magic spells, but the Demon lord just walks up and Slashes Tymus sending him flying into a wall. The Demon lord Chuckles! “Finally! Revenge for 500 years of Torment Tymus. Your world shall burn!” “NEVER!!” yells Tymus who blasts the Lord in the face. The Demon lord takes a Step back while grabbing his face. “NOW HEROES!!” Tymus opens a Time Portal behind the Demon. The Heroes give everything they have and knock the Demon back into the portal. The Demon lord fights and struggles but gets sucked into the Portal.
“I’m dieing heroes, and that portal took my last power. I opened a time portal back 500 years ago when the Demon Lord was first Defeated! You must quickly go through the Portal and Kill him.” Says Tymus while coughing up blood. “Help the Time Lords of Old. I’m sure you can do it….” Tymus dies with one last breathe.
The Heroes jump into the Time Portal and hope for the Best.
“Im going to too father.” Says Thalithous. “I will return a Hero.”
With that Thalithous Jumps through the Portal.
“noo… Son… why…” Benithous shakes his head. “God Speed son…”
Part 4:
The Heroes first sight upon landing is a Large Army of Time Guards. They have amassed their entire force at this one spot. In the distance you can spot a large Red Demon Portal. Below the portal you can see an Army of Demons. The heroes meet up with a Much younger Benithous and Tymus as well as the Time Heroes of Old. You explain to Past Tymus what has happened.
“Your saying there is more than one Demon Lord here?!” exclaims Tymus! The Heroes just nod, confirming his Fear. “Then this must end now Heroes! Prepare your troops Benithous we attack now!”
Thalithous lands on the ground.
“Who is this boy?!” Benithous Says as he draws his Weapon.
“Ha! You look so young Father.” Replies Thalithous “I am your son from the future, I have come to help all Time in this Dire Hour.”
“Brave and stupid… just like your Father” chuckles Benithous. “Let me guess… your name is Thalithous.”
“How did you know father?” questions Thalithous.
“Its just what I always planned to name my Child. But enough sappy Talk crap, we got a War to win”
“Right..” says Thalithous as he draws his weapon.
“Charge!!” Yells Tymus as you all rush the Demon Hordes.
The two Armies clash in an apocalyptic Battle. During the Slaughter-fest The Future Demon Lord flies down from the sky and begins wreaking havoc on the Time Guards. “Take down the Demon Lord” Yells Tymus. Moments later the Heroes notice a big monstrous creature coming through the Demon Portal.
“It’s the Demon Lord from our time!” exclaims Tymus “This is it boys! Give it all you got!”
The Battle Rages on for a while but it becomes very clear that you are fighting a losing battle. With the Demon army outnumbering the Time guard by two to one and Both Demon Lords Shrugging off your Best attacks, Things aren’t looking good. One of the Past Time Heroes, Lina Feather was her name, speaks up.
“I know how to kill the Demon Lord Tymus.” Tymus’s eyes Widen.
“I am a warrior of Heaven gifted with A Magical Bow of Light. I have been taught how to make an Ultimate Light Arrow… that should be enough to Mortally Wound the Demon Lord.”
“It almost sounds to easy!” Tymus chuckles.
“If only it was that easy Tymus…” Lina Bows her head, and then glances to the Sky. “The Ultimate Light arrow needs to be made with a Soul… a Soul of a Pure Hearted Person…”
“I will do it!!” Shouts Your Hero.
“NO…. I will do it…” Replies Lina quickly. “This is my purpose. My light will slice through the Darkness.”
“Do what you must Lina… I have faith.” Says Tymus quietly.
“Fair well friends… and Good luck” And with that Lina focus’s here entire being into a single golden Arrow. She Loads her bow and Pulls it back.
“May the gods Guide my Arrow to Victory…” She releases the String sending the Blazing Bolt of Light hurtling towards the Demon Lord. As the arrow flies away the Light shining around Lina starts to fade as she slowly collapses to the ground Lifeless. The arrow Flies past the war zone at ridiculous Speeds. Tymus Smiles as he sees the Arrow heading straight for the Demon Lord. Benithous Stops slaughtering Demons and looks up to See the Blazing Arrow Fly over his Head.
“God Speed…” he whispers to himself.
The arrow flies Straight into the Past Demon Lords Chest. The Arrow Peirces his Flesh ripping a giant hole in his Torso. Fiery Blood Spews from the Wound as the Past Demon Lord lets out a Giant roar. The roar shatters the earth and sends creatures near the Demon Lord flying in all directions. He falls to one knee grabbing the wound and oozing Fiery Blood from His Mouth.
“You will… pay for this… You meddling Fools… You will all die!!” The Past Demon Lord Bellows. He coughs up more Fiery Blood after wards. The Future Demon Lord flies over to the Past Demon Lord.
“Its weird seeing the Past relive itself… but this time… im prepared” Cackles the Future Demon Lord.
He grabs the Past Demon lord by the Shoulders, gripping him so hard his fingers rips through his Flesh.
“This time Tymus… You will not win This day…” He starts absorbing the Past Demon Lord into himself.
“Noooo!! Stop him!!” Yells Tymus.
“Its too late Tymus… “ The Demon Lord Chuckles as he Finishes Absorbing the Past Demon Lord. All Combat ceases, while everyone’s attention is drawn to the Demon Lord. Large Spikes Burst from His skin as his size grows much larger. After a Bright red flash the Demon Lord has finished his Transformation.
“Bwahaha… I have become Ultimate!!” Laughs the Demon Lord. “Not even you, Tymus, can stop me now!”
“That’s what you think Beast!!” Tymus yells as he unleashes some Lightining Bolts that Crash right into the Demon Lord. The attack doesn’t even phase him.
“I told you Tymus… All hope is lost!” The Demon Lord Swings his Big Demon Blade and slaughters a whole group of Time guards and Demons. Laughing the Demon Lord Breathes a fiery Blast at Tymus who Avoids it at the Last Second. The Ground Explodes as the Blast hits sending Debris Everywhere.
“This is hopeless…” Tymus drops his Staff. “This wasn’t supposed to happen…”
“Tymus you cant give up!!” Yells your Hero. “There is no Fate! The Future is what you make it Tymus!”
A voice Echoes through in the Heroes Heads. “Heroes…. This is Father Time. I may have a idea how to stop the Demon Lord, but it is a Dangerous chance.”
“What is it… we are willing to try anything” Reply the Heroes.
“Who are you talking to?” Asks Tymus.
“Father Time… Can you not hear him Tymus?” Question the Heroes.
“What? You can hear him? Only the most Powerful of Time Lords can Hear Father Times Voice.”
“That doesn’t matter now Heroes. Listen carefully. I can open a portal to a Void space in Time and we can try to Trap him. The difficult part is going to be knocking him into the Portal because we already tried this Trick on him once.” Explains Father Time.
“I understand Father Time… I know what todo… Open up that Portal.” The Heroes Ready themselves. “Tymus, Benithous and the Rest of you Time Guard… Stand back. We will end this now”
A Large Purple Portal starts to take shape on the Battle Field.
“Hahaha… whats this Tymus? Another Push him into the Portal Trick?” The Demon Lord has himself a Great laugh.
The Heroes Charge the Demon Lord. “Its time to Taste Defeat Demon!!”
“Bring it!” replies the Demon Lord. “I have become Much Stronger than you could even Fathom.”
The Heroes engage the Demon Lord in a Desperate Struggle. The Heroes actually manage to fight Toe to Toe with the Demon Lord for a while. Each successful attack against the Demon Lord seems to make the heroes glow brighter and brighter. The Demon Lord Smashes two of the Heroes away and raises his Enormouse Blade into the Air readying a Deadly Slash.
“Father!! He is going to kill them! We must help!” Yells Thalithous as he Rushes to help.
“No!! son its too Dangerous!” Yells Benithous. “Damn boy get back here!”
The Demon Lord swings his blade towards one of the stunned Heroes but Thalithous Flies in and Deflects his deadly attack. The demons Blade crashes into the ground.
“Meddling Pest!” The Demon Grabs Thalithous with his Giant spiked Hand and crushes him fiercely, breaking bones. Flames envelope The Demons hand burning Thalithous. The Demon then tosses Thalithous’s Corpse to the Ground and focus’s back on the Heroes.
“Nnnnoooo!!! You bastard!!” Benithous Grabs his Weapon ready to attack.
“Benithous stop! You must survive this or Thalithous will never exist.” Says Tymus trying to stop Benithous. Benithous growls in anger at the Situation.
Your hero Strikes the Demon Lord squarely in the chest. The Demon takes a step back from the impact.
“That’s for Thalithous you Beast” Your words inspire you even more.
The Demon Swings his large blade, but misses as you jump high into the Air. Thoughts of Segmond and how he was killed invade your mind granting a new Power to your attacks. You come falling down from the air and strike the Demon lord with such a thunderous force he stumbles backwards to the ground. Fiery Blood flows from the Fresh Wound.
“You will pay for that worm!” Says the Demon as he scrambles back to his Feet.
“He’s doing it!” Exclaims Tymus.
The Demon Lord Breathes a Blast of Fiery Death at Your Hero. Your hero Grins and stands his ground. The Blast smokes you dead on causing a huge fiery explosion.
“O no!” exclaims Tymus!
“Its over Tymus… we have lost…” adds Benithous.
“Bwahahha… Now its Time to Die Tymus!” The Demon Lord laughs.
The smoke starts to clear from the Explosion.
“What… what’s that?!” Tymus Points.
Your hero is standing there glowing a bright Yellow.
“I don’t believe it. He’s become a Time Lord!”
“Impossible I Obliterated you!!” Says the Demon Lord Flabbergasted.
Your Hero rushes the Demon Lord who swings his sword as you approach but you Block it with your hand shattering its Blade then you counter-attack the Demon stabbing him right in the Gut. The Demon Lord lets out another Powerful Roar.
“This is for Lina!” you yell as you slash the Demon again. Fiery blood Flows forth pouring all over you but you barely even notice the heat.
“How can this be?!” Questions the Demon Lord
“Good will always triumph over Evil, Light will always extinguish Darkness!” you answer. Thoughts of Mr. Hours death fill your mind, enhancing your rage to an even higher level. The bright Yellow glow around you starts to turn a Redish color. You barrage the Demon lord with many attacks forcing him backwards towards the Portal.
“If I’m going in the portal so are you!”
“Then lets speed things up shall we Demon?” You say as you tackle the demon pushing him back into the Portal.
“Nooo!! Fool, I will torment you forever where ever we go!”
The two fall into the portal and are Teleported to a Void in Time and Space, forever are stuck There. The two intensely battle for 15 Days Before your Hero manages to Slay The Demon Lord and end his 1000 year Reign of Terror. The Demons body melts in a bright fiery Molten Mess. Bloody, Tired and energy less your hero floats in the Void for Days. After about a week a Bright light randomly Shines in the Distance. Your hero notices it and slowly Floats towards it still drained of Energy. As you approach the Light it grows extremely bright and almost consumes you. All you see is the Brightness. You close your eyes and slowly Drift off to Sleep.
“There he is… I found him… Don’t worry Hero… Were going Home…” A voice Quietly Echoes.

lots of characters and elements from popular video games, but i like the way you broke it up into classes, and you didn't borrow too heavily from any one game.
one thing i have to say, however, is that sonic and knuckles seem waaay out of place in this type of game. Necromancers, demons, and hedgehogs?
seems great though :Plight:
Post by: RockJohnAxe on May 14, 2008, 08:33:36 AM
sonic and his crew were actually the most recent thing i added.
The Reason Demon of Pwn is in.
Is before my Harddrive fried the original RPG was kinda a joke RPG with like Demon of Pwn and DPS ninja as characters.
But they were so developed and grew on me so i kept them.
This game is more about the combat/story/freedom.
Post by: Rayonius on May 14, 2008, 08:38:51 AM
Demon of pwn /dps ninja: demons can have some pretty weird names i guess, but, is "dps ninja" the ninja's actual name? cause .. honestly it sounds a bit odd.
Post by: RockJohnAxe on May 14, 2008, 08:42:44 AM
and lol yes, his name is DPS ninja.
Stands for Damage per Second ninja.
Its what he does... it Grew on me, and hes my friends favourite character.
Although the Story gets rather intense, the game is more about the fun factor then being something all new etc like a brand new final fantasy or what ever.
Post by: Rayonius on May 14, 2008, 08:46:30 AM
sounds like a lot of fun, though.
Post by: RockJohnAxe on May 14, 2008, 08:48:27 AM
have NOTHING and i mean NOTHING todo with there own game.
Although for example there is a place where u can find Ryu from Street fighter and after beating him in a fight he can Teach you the Shin Shoryuken for example.
Plus all the NPCs/story guys etc just refer to you as the Heroes of time. Not like... ZOMG ITS SONIC!!
Post by: Rayonius on May 14, 2008, 08:51:02 AM
edit: btw, how are you going to work in unlockable characters?
Post by: RockJohnAxe on May 14, 2008, 08:54:05 AM
when you unlock an Extra character they goto a Special inn where you can go and Switch up your Party as you see fit.
Goku is an unlockable character, but hes very tough to get. You gotta find him Throughout the Game, first as normal, then you must beat him in a fight. Then he moves somewhere else and becomes SS1, then you must beat him again. Then he moves again to a different location now SS2. You must beat him again for SS3 and SS4 and Then you help him Defeat Buu. But he is very hard to beat and fairly tough to find.
Also Extra characters only fit into Certain Character slots. So i guess technically you cant customize the team 100%.
Edit #3: This game is made on RPG maker 2k3 btw.

Ive been working on this game in my spare time for exactly 1 year 8 months and 16 days now. So ive put a **** load of time into it and there is ALOT more past where i stopped with the story. There is more secrets than you can shake a stick at. No matter where you go there is a ton of everything.
But dont think the game is bogged down or ridiculous. Although there are some themes that take away from the More DnD aspect of the World, it does blend into a very fun enjoyable game with a Wicked intense Combat system and combats. And i personally like the story when you look at it from start to finish... but then again i wrote it.
Ive actually been working on a book that covers the Main heroes and there adventures. Also loosely Based off DnD sessions.

I also got the impression as I was reading through it that you didn't think that hard on it, pretty much writing anything that came to your head - which can be good sometimes - but we don't really want to see a first draft of your storyline on your game thread. ESPECIALLY if it's that long.
The screenshots are a tad too bare for my liking too... as people have said before me, you could try adding some variation between room sizes/shapes, and maybe a bit of detail on the ground which can be walked over. Simple things like that will help you a lot.
Sorry if I'm seeming a bit negative towards the whole idea, but being overly nice never helped a soul I'm afraid. Mind you though, as I said before, the "open plan" style of gameplay and progression is very interesting ^^
Post by: RockJohnAxe on May 26, 2008, 01:40:52 AM
Ive been trying to find a way to take a more zoomed out picture but havent really had much success. Taking screen shots of the editor all zoomed out defeats alot of the finer details and the the layers dont show properly.
As for the Story: What ive wrote there was the general story line you follow. Keep in mind this is more of an OPEN RPG concept, so although there is that base story line there is PLENTY AND I MEAN PLENTY of extra stuff todo.
Dont think you are completely stuck to the story line.

That.
Made no sense.
And about the maps, I suggested that you also add some detail to the ground, you know, like cracks, weeds, stones. That kind of stuff. If there isn't anything you can use sorts, it's quite easy to just copy and paste from another chipset. If you're having problems saving as 256 Colours from there, save it using a program called ultimate paint (Google is your friend). Yeah, I gave a bit too much information, I'm too kind lol
Oh yeah, and would you mind seperating Cloud and Black Mage?
Cloud just doesn't seem very "Mage-ish" to me. And he's emo.
Post by: lilsniffs3 on May 26, 2008, 07:13:22 AM
Keep everyone in the same style.
Make Sonic characters in human forms, with Tails named "Miles," etc.
Name Demon of Pwn something else. Red Eternium (No clue either) perhaps? DPS Ninja, Shade, Blade?
Post by: RockJohnAxe on May 28, 2008, 09:45:03 PM
Demon of Pwn WILL NOT be changed or altered in any way. The Demon of Pwn was my friends original character that became corrupt and started My whole Book (which this is based off of My world. [And my book is originally based off DnD sessions lol])
As for the Sonic characters. Im still debating whether to keep them in or not. Ive had a few people express interest in playing Him or his pals. Plus i must say, some of Sonics(and knuckles) abilities are pretty sweet.
As for the request to remove the black Mage from the must pick cloud deal. Not gonna hapen guys. im sorry. Black Mage is one of, if not THE BEST caster in the entire game that you can get. He has been slightly buffed to reflect the Special Choice you must make. As well as he can use Materia which was originally designed for Cloud only. So he is Major Good.
This game isnt about being all the Same style. Infact i like it more and more blending everything together. Sure it doesnt look as fitting but the game plays out just the same... and damn its Fun.

Important Features
Lockpicking – The Rogue is the only one who can successfully pick Most Locks. Locked Things are all over the World, so it is a very helpful skill that can wield some Helpful or even Powerful Items. Although its possible to find Lock picking tools to pick some of the Easier Locks with any character.
Time Clock – The Clock of Time Ticks and Tocks. Depending on which you set it too (Tick or Tock) Time Chests Appear around the world. Time Chests are extremely Powerful Chests holding some of the Better loot in the game. Tick Time Chests are Blue while Tock Time Chests are Purple. Although to find both Tick and Tock chests all over the World will take some hunting.
Engineering – The Robot and the Goblin can Learn Engineering. Although they don’t start with the knowledge it is Trainable. Engineering allows you to use Special Devices located around the world to open new areas or get extra loot. One of the More Awesome Engineering Abilities is the Ability to make yourself Armor/Weapons, items and even Spells/skills. To make something with Engineering you will need to get all the Materials(items) as well as have High enough Engineering skill. The Engineering Table is in the Heroes Den in Times End.
Examples: Large Metal Plate + Solid Steel = Custom Robot Plate
Explosive Powder + Metal Screws = Lesser Grenade
Book: Greater Heal + Solid Steel = Hi-Tech Regen Device
Equipment Crafting (Blacksmithing/Leatherworking/Alchemy) – Although not Trainable skills like Engineering, there are many Characters/Trainers around the world that will make you items if you bring them materials. Tip: Don’t Sell anything you find in a Time Chest unless your REALLY desperate for Cash or Your 100% sure its not used in any Craftings..
Examples: Rapier + Sharp Stones = Jagged Slicer
Minute Masher + Blue Sapphire = Hour Masher
Hour Masher + Time Opal = Millennia Masher
Fairy Flower + Stomper Root = Stoneskin Potion
Fairy Flower + Lesser Healing Potion = Greater Healing Potion
Teleport Runes and Scrolls – Teleport Runes allow you to set a “Rune” anywhere in the World. When you use a Teleport Scroll it will instantly Teleport you to your Set “Rune”. Also There is an item you can buy from Times End to Teleport you to Times end. Also as you progress through the game, you open up Portals to different locations from Times End.

Post by: Prpl_Mage on June 04, 2008, 05:19:21 AM
You don't need to remove skills or equipment or such, just make them at least look original.
'Cuz Sonic has never fitted into a game with humans(except the first ones with robotnik). Just look at the latest, Robotnik and the princess' shading= yay, good graphics. Sonic and his pals= Barely any shading at all, they just don't fit in.
So, I suggest to make human doppelgangers as people said before. Don't remove anyone, just change the resources used in battle, world map and facesets ect.
Post by: RockJohnAxe on June 04, 2008, 12:11:42 PM
and its definately a late game/end game type thing.
Im also thinking of putting an ultimate dungeon in the game after you have beaten the game
Post by: RockJohnAxe on June 10, 2008, 12:49:59 PM
But to compensate ive Modified the "Blue Dragon"
Now when you pick "The Dragon" you actually get to choose between a Red Dragon, Blue Dragon, Green Dragon (poison) and a Bronze Dragon (Lightning) Although there stats are completely the same and they use the same gear, they have a completely different ability list.
Post by: RockJohnAxe on June 24, 2008, 01:12:58 PM
I have also updated my First Post basically just adding this in. So check out my first post if u want the Entire Story.
Part 4:
The Heroes jump into the Time Portal and hope for the Best.
“Im going to too father.” Says Thalithous. “I will return a Hero.”
With that Thalithous Jumps through the Portal.
“noo… Son… why…” Benithous shakes his head. “God Speed son…”
The Heroes first sight upon landing is a Large Army of Time Guards. They have amassed their entire force at this one spot. In the distance you can spot a large Red Demon Portal. Below the portal you can see an Army of Demons. The heroes meet up with a Much younger Benithous and Tymus as well as the Time Heroes of Old. You explain to Past Tymus what has happened.
“Your saying there is more than one Demon Lord here?!” exclaims Tymus! The Heroes just nod, confirming his Fear. “Then this must end now Heroes! Prepare your troops Benithous we attack now!”
Thalithous lands on the ground.
“Who is this boy?!” Benithous Says as he draws his Weapon.
“Ha! You look so young Father.” Replies Thalithous “I am your son from the future, I have come to help all Time in this Dire Hour.”
“Brave and stupid… just like your Father” chuckles Benithous. “Let me guess… your name is Thalithous.”
“How did you know father?” questions Thalithous.
“Its just what I always planned to name my Child. But enough sappy Talk crap, we got a War to win”
“Right..” says Thalithous as he draws his weapon.
“Charge!!” Yells Tymus as you all rush the Demon Hordes.
The two Armies clash in an apocalyptic Battle. During the Slaughter-fest The Future Demon Lord flies down from the sky and begins wreaking havoc on the Time Guards. “Take down the Demon Lord” Yells Tymus. Moments later the Heroes notice a big monstrous creature coming through the Demon Portal.
“It’s the Demon Lord from our time!” exclaims Tymus “This is it boys! Give it all you got!”
The Battle Rages on for a while but it becomes very clear that you are fighting a losing battle. With the Demon army outnumbering the Time guard by two to one and Both Demon Lords Shrugging off your Best attacks, Things aren’t looking good. One of the Past Time Heroes, Lina Feather was her name, speaks up.
“I know how to kill the Demon Lord Tymus.” Tymus’s eyes Widen.
“I am a warrior of Heaven gifted with A Magical Bow of Light. I have been taught how to make an Ultimate Light Arrow… that should be enough to Mortally Wound the Demon Lord.”
“It almost sounds to easy!” Tymus chuckles.
“If only it was that easy Tymus…” Lina Bows her head, and then glances to the Sky. “The Ultimate Light arrow needs to be made with a Soul… a Soul of a Pure Hearted Person…”
“I will do it!!” Shouts Your Hero.
“NO…. I will do it…” Replies Lina quickly. “This is my purpose. My light will slice through the Darkness.”
“Do what you must Lina… I have faith.” Says Tymus quietly.
“Fair well friends… and Good luck” And with that Lina focus’s here entire being into a single golden Arrow. She Loads her bow and Pulls it back.
“May the gods Guide my Arrow to Victory…” She releases the String sending the Blazing Bolt of Light hurtling towards the Demon Lord. As the arrow flies away the Light shining around Lina starts to fade as she slowly collapses to the ground Lifeless. The arrow Flies past the war zone at ridiculous Speeds. Tymus Smiles as he sees the Arrow heading straight for the Demon Lord. Benithous Stops slaughtering Demons and looks up to See the Blazing Arrow Fly over his Head.
“God Speed…” he whispers to himself.
The arrow flies Straight into the Past Demon Lords Chest. The Arrow Peirces his Flesh ripping a giant hole in his Torso. Fiery Blood Spews from the Wound as the Past Demon Lord lets out a Giant roar. The roar shatters the earth and sends creatures near the Demon Lord flying in all directions. He falls to one knee grabbing the wound and oozing Fiery Blood from His Mouth.
“You will… pay for this… You meddling Fools… You will all die!!” The Past Demon Lord Bellows. He coughs up more Fiery Blood after wards. The Future Demon Lord flies over to the Past Demon Lord.
“Its weird seeing the Past relive itself… but this time… im prepared” Cackles the Future Demon Lord.
He grabs the Past Demon lord by the Shoulders, gripping him so hard his fingers rips through his Flesh.
“This time Tymus… You will not win This day…” He starts absorbing the Past Demon Lord into himself.
“Noooo!! Stop him!!” Yells Tymus.
“Its too late Tymus… “ The Demon Lord Chuckles as he Finishes Absorbing the Past Demon Lord. All Combat ceases, while everyone’s attention is drawn to the Demon Lord. Large Spikes Burst from His skin as his size grows much larger. After a Bright red flash the Demon Lord has finished his Transformation.
“Bwahaha… I have become Ultimate!!” Laughs the Demon Lord. “Not even you, Tymus, can stop me now!”
“That’s what you think Beast!!” Tymus yells as he unleashes some Lightining Bolts that Crash right into the Demon Lord. The attack doesn’t even phase him.
“I told you Tymus… All hope is lost!” The Demon Lord Swings his Big Demon Blade and slaughters a whole group of Time guards and Demons. Laughing the Demon Lord Breathes a fiery Blast at Tymus who Avoids it at the Last Second. The Ground Explodes as the Blast hits sending Debris Everywhere.
“This is hopeless…” Tymus drops his Staff. “This wasn’t supposed to happen…”
“Tymus you cant give up!!” Yells your Hero. “There is no Fate! The Future is what you make it Tymus!”
A voice Echoes through in the Heroes Heads. “Heroes…. This is Father Time. I may have a idea how to stop the Demon Lord, but it is a Dangerous chance.”
“What is it… we are willing to try anything” Reply the Heroes.
“Who are you talking to?” Asks Tymus.
“Father Time… Can you not hear him Tymus?” Question the Heroes.
“What? You can hear him? Only the most Powerful of Time Lords can Hear Father Times Voice.”
“That doesn’t matter now Heroes. Listen carefully. I can open a portal to a Void space in Time and we can try to Trap him. The difficult part is going to be knocking him into the Portal because we already tried this Trick on him once.” Explains Father Time.
“I understand Father Time… I know what todo… Open up that Portal.” The Heroes Ready themselves. “Tymus, Benithous and the Rest of you Time Guard… Stand back. We will end this now”
A Large Purple Portal starts to take shape on the Battle Field.
“Hahaha… whats this Tymus? Another Push him into the Portal Trick?” The Demon Lord has himself a Great laugh.
The Heroes Charge the Demon Lord. “Its time to Taste Defeat Demon!!”
“Bring it!” replies the Demon Lord. “I have become Much Stronger than you could even Fathom.”
The Heroes engage the Demon Lord in a Desperate Struggle. The Heroes actually manage to fight Toe to Toe with the Demon Lord for a while. Each successful attack against the Demon Lord seems to make the heroes glow brighter and brighter. The Demon Lord Smashes two of the Heroes away and raises his Enormouse Blade into the Air readying a Deadly Slash.
“Father!! He is going to kill them! We must help!” Yells Thalithous as he Rushes to help.
“No!! son its too Dangerous!” Yells Benithous. “Damn boy get back here!”
The Demon Lord swings his blade towards one of the stunned Heroes but Thalithous Flies in and Deflects his deadly attack. The demons Blade crashes into the ground.
“Meddling Pest!” The Demon Grabs Thalithous with his Giant spiked Hand and crushes him fiercely, breaking bones. Flames envelope The Demons hand burning Thalithous. The Demon then tosses Thalithous’s Corpse to the Ground and focus’s back on the Heroes.
“Nnnnoooo!!! You bastard!!” Benithous Grabs his Weapon ready to attack.
“Benithous stop! You must survive this or Thalithous will never exist.” Says Tymus trying to stop Benithous. Benithous growls in anger at the Situation.
Your hero Strikes the Demon Lord squarely in the chest. The Demon takes a step back from the impact.
“That’s for Thalithous you Beast” Your words inspire you even more.
The Demon Swings his large blade, but misses as you jump high into the Air. Thoughts of Segmond and how he was killed invade your mind granting a new Power to your attacks. You come falling down from the air and strike the Demon lord with such a thunderous force he stumbles backwards to the ground. Fiery Blood flows from the Fresh Wound.
“You will pay for that worm!” Says the Demon as he scrambles back to his Feet.
“He’s doing it!” Exclaims Tymus.
The Demon Lord Breathes a Blast of Fiery Death at Your Hero. Your hero Grins and stands his ground. The Blast smokes you dead on causing a huge fiery explosion.
“O no!” exclaims Tymus!
“Its over Tymus… we have lost…” adds Benithous.
“Bwahahha… Now its Time to Die Tymus!” The Demon Lord laughs.
The smoke starts to clear from the Explosion.
“What… what’s that?!” Tymus Points.
Your hero is standing there glowing a bright Yellow.
“I don’t believe it. He’s become a Time Lord!”
“Impossible I Obliterated you!!” Says the Demon Lord Flabbergasted.
Your Hero rushes the Demon Lord who swings his sword as you approach but You Block it with your hand shattering its Blade then you counter-attack the Demon stabbing him right in the Gut. The Demon Lord lets out another Powerful Roar.
“This is for Lina!” you yell as you slash the Demon again. Fiery blood Flows forth pouring all over you but you barely even notice the heat.
“How can this be?!” Questions the Demon Lord
“Good will always triumph over Evil, Light will always extinguish Darkness!” you answer. Thoughts of Mr. Hours death fill your mind, enhancing your rage to an even higher level. The bright Yellow glow around you starts to turn a Redish color. You barrage the Demon lord with many attacks forcing him backwards towards the Portal.
“If I’m going in the portal so are you!”
“Then lets speed things up shall we Demon?” You say as you tackle the demon pushing him back into the Portal.
“Nooo!! Fool, I will torment you forever where ever we go!”
The two fall into the portal and are Teleported to a Void in Time and Space, forever are stuck There. The two intensely battle for 15 Days Before your Hero manages to Slay The Demon Lord and end his 1000 year Reign of Terror. The Demons body melts in a bright fiery Molten Mess. Bloody, Tired and energy less your hero floats in the Void for Days. After about a week a Bright light randomly Shines in the Distance. Your hero notices it and slowly Floats towards it still drained of Energy. As you approach the Light it grows extremely bright and almost consumes you. All you see is the Brightness. You close your eyes and slowly Drift off to Sleep.
“There he is… I found him… Don’t worry Hero… Were going Home…” A voice Quietly Echoes.

Soldier Mode
Picking the Hero named “Soldat” will Start Soldier Mode. This means you only have Soldat as your Hero. He has Pre-Set Equipment and cannot use any Equipment found in the Game. He only has 1 Possible Ally to get named “Tankert”. Tankert cannot be controlled in combat and acts on his own. This game mode brings a new fun New Challenge to the Same Game. Although if this is your first time playing the game, I would suggest playing it normally before Trying Soldier Mode.
Hints and Tips
Save Extremely Often. There are a lot of things that happen just as you walk around. Also there are a lot of Nasty enemies Spread even in Lower level areas. Most Nasty enemies will Prompt a “Are you sure you want to fight” Message, so you can atleast have a chance to flee.
Most Harder Dungeon Areas you CANNOT save so make sure your well stocked before you delve deep into a Dungeon. Although There will be Signs informing you that you cannot Save beyond this Point, so you should be well informed.
There are secrets EVERYWHERE. Even a Harmless rock might grant you loot. As with most RPGs, the harder more hidden secrets grant much greater loot than a secret that requires little searching.
Lock Picking is a very nice ability but in no way Key to Victory. It does yield some nice treasures and can help access new areas you normally couldn’t go. Although there are [Lock Picking Tools] that will allow you to open about 75% of the Locked Areas. [Lock Picking Tools] are fairly expensive.
Similar to Lock Picking, Engineering isn’t Key to Victory, but it does open up some nice Options. Engineers can make themselves some pretty sweet equipment. Also they can use Engineering things/objects (repair mechanical Switchs etc) Allowing Access to new areas you normally couldn’t go.
There are several statues in Times End that Provide Free Services to your Party. One Statue restores All Health and Mana. Another Statue Provides a Inspired Buff that Doubles Intelligence and Defence for a fair amount of time.
Almost everything you Loot gives some Experience. Chests and Secrets grant more experience than easily found Secrets/chests. So Finding Items/chests/secrets etc have Dual Bonus’s. Ooooooo Right!
I wouldn’t suggest selling anything you find in a Time Chest until you are sure it has no more Use. Some Time Chest Items are used in Powerful Crafting Recipes and yield some of the Better equipment in the Game.
Keep Your eye out for the Word “DARE”. If something Dares you to do an action There is a reason. Either a fight will happen or there is some Danger involved with the Action. So Keep your eyes open for the wording. Example: “Do you Dare pull the Switch?”
Portals and Getting Around
When you get to Times End there is a purchasable Item Called [Times Almost Out] That will Portal you Back to Times End from Anywhere. I would Suggest always having Atleast one or two at all Times. Also In Times End there are Several Portals that open gradually as you progress further through the Game. There is also Two Items I think are beneficial to Have, [Teleport Rune] and [Teleport Scroll]. Both Items can be purchased in Times End. Using the Teleport Rune Marks a Spot permanently and using a Teleport Scroll will teleport you To that Runed Location. You can only have one Teleport Rune Location Set at a Time but These Runed Spots can be placed ANYWHERE in the game, even in Areas that would remove your Ability to Save, making it a Powerful Tool.
A Good trick against a tough Opponent would be to Set a Teleport Rune, use a Times Almost out to get back to Times end, Get the Buff and Heals from the statues then Use a Teleport Scroll to get back to where you were.
Weapon Types
Different Weapons have Different Stats Obviously, but weapons also deal Certain Types of Damage. For example:
Swords/Axes Deal Slashing dmg
Daggers/Arrows Deal Piercing dmg
Maces Deal Bludgeoning dmg
These different Damage types affect monsters differently. For example:
Skeletons take less damage from Slashing and Piercing and more damage from Bludgeoning.
While Fleshy unarmored targets usually take extra from Slashing and Piercing.
Certain Weapon types also have common Bonus’s like:
Swords – Quick but Average.
Daggers – Tend to be quicker and have more attacks but not as much Power.
Maces – Slower but have a Higher Crit Bonus. Sometimes a Lower chance to hit.
Axes – Have a higher Crit Bonus. Sometimes a Lower chance to hit.
Weapons do not tell you their Hit chance so when using Axes or Maces especially, anticipate that it could be Lower. Usually if a weapon has a Fast sounding Theme They have a Higher Hit while Slow Themed weapons Will have Less chance to it. Also AOE Weapons (Attacks all enemies per attack) Will also have a Less chance to Hit.
Some Special Attacks Require a Certain Weapon Type. For example: Backstab. Backstab Requires Daggers (piercing) to Use the Move. Without the Required Weapon Type equipped the Move Will be Greyed out and un-usable. Cleave is another example of this. Cleave Requires Slashing Weapons.
Abilities and Spell Levels
When you look in the Description of a Spell or Training a Spell/ability you will see SL and a number like, SL12 or SL20 for example. This Stands for Spell Level and the level the ability is. When deciding what abilities to Train or Use in combat be sure to look at the Spell Level. The Spell Level gives you a rough idea of how Powerful a Certain Ability is. An SL4 ability is going to be Dramatically Weaker than an SL20 ability would be.
Chests: Types and Colors
Chests come in all different Colors. Lets break ‘em down shall we?
Grey Chests: Garbage Chests. Contain Small amounts or money or Lesser items of worth
Brown Chests: These contain Decent Loot and Decent amounts of Money.
Red Chests: These are superior Chests. Containing More money or Better Items. Although Red chests are usually much harder to find or Access.
Blue Chests: These are Tick Time Chests. They contain Powerful Items of Worth. They are Rare and Scattered.
Purple Chests: These are Tock Time Chests. They also Contain Powerful Items of Worth. They are also Rare and Scattered.
Black and White Chests: These are Choice Chests and usually come in Pairs. You may only choose one of them to Loot and the Other will be Lost forever. Although They will tell you the names of what’s inside before you must decide which to pick.
The Tick Tock Clocks
The Tick Tock Clocks are scattered here and there in the World. You know it’s one of these Clocks if it says “Tick” or “Tock” when you click on them. Depending on what its set too (Tick or Tock) Special Chests appear around the World. Although you can only have one Type of Chest appear at a Time, so getting Both Tick and Tock Chests will require some Searching. A Helpful Tip though, The Tick/Tock Chests always Come in Pairs. So if you find a Tick Chest in an area, you know that there is a Tock Chest Somewhere Nearby. You will need to Switch the Clock over to find the other of coarse.
Buffs
Characters can only have so many buffs on them. If you find your Buff is giving a Miss! Then you are maximum buffed for now. Some Buffs Stack oddly (something I cant control, its an issue with RPG maker) For example: If you cast Battle Shout Before Inner Fury they will not stack. But if you cast Inner Fury Before Battle Shout they will stack. The Game eases you into most of your abilities so you shouldn’t have to worry about having to Test this, you should just get it as you play.
Debuffs
Most Debuffs and Buffs in this game have a small chance to dispel when Struck. Also Damage Over Time effects (DOTs) Cannot Actually Kill a Hero, but will reduce him to 1 HP.
These are some of the More Common De-buffs:
Poisons – Poisons Last a long time and Remain After Combat. Poisons get Harder to resist as they get more Powerful. Poisons can be removed with Antidote Potions and Remove Poison Spells. Robot Is Immune to Poisons.
Plagues – Plagues are an extremely Deadly DOT. They take huge chunks of HP and are very hard to resist. There are Spells to remove Lesser Plagues, although Greater Plagues require a lot more to remove. Plagues Remain After Combat, which makes them extremely deadly.
Curses – Curses are nasty De-buffs that have extreme Negative Effects on Stats. Curses Remain After Combat and last an extremely Long Time. There is a person in Times End who can remove Curses but its fairly Expensive. Likewise you can Learn the spell from the Person but it is Also extremely Expensive.
Bleeds – Bleed Effects don’t last as long as Poisons and have a higher chance to be removed when struck. Bleeds Deal more damage on Average than poisons. Bleeds are removed when combat ends. Lower Level Bleeds can be removed with Items like Bandages, although the higher level Bleeds are un-removable.
Some Heroes can remove Bleed effects from themselves with certain abilities, while Robot is Immune to Bleeds.
Burns – Burn DOTs Deal quite a bit of damage but don’t last very long and have the highest chance to remove when struck. There are items like [Bucket of Water] that can remove most Burns.
Pain – Pain DOTs are usually from Magic Spells Rather than Physical Abilities. Pains last a moderate amount of time and do moderate damage and have a very low chance to be removed when struck. Low level Pains can be removed with items like [Pain Killer Pills]. While high level Pains can be Dispelled. Pains do not remain after combat.
Sleep – As the name implies, it puts a character to Sleep. Slept targets cannot act. Slept targets Wake up when struck no matter what. Robot Is Immune to Sleep.
Stunned – Stunned Targets cannot make any Action. Stuns don’t usually last long and have a decent chance to be removed when struck. Aside from Certain Hero abilities stuns are not removable.
Confusion – Fairly self-explanatory. Confused targets random attack targets. Confusion has a high chance to break when struck.
Disarmed – While disarmed your Attack rating is halved. Although Disarms last a very short time, they have a very high chance to be removed per round.
Entangled – Entangled Targets take minor DOT damage and are unable to act. Entangle lasts a decent amount of time, but has a high chance to break per round. Also Entangle has a very high dispel chance when struck.
Blind – Blinded Targets are unable to Act. Blinds don’t last very long and you have a moderate chance to recover per round.
Bosses
This game is brimming with bosses. Most Bosses in the game drop a chest when defeated. The Chest usually contains several items and you must choose one from the Chest. In addition, Most of the Stronger Bosses have a 15% chance to drop a super powerful item when defeated. So the average player will find a few as they play through while the hardcore players can try a save and reload trick to try and kill the boss until he drops the Item.
Timed Events
There is a lot of Things that can only be done between Certain Times. If you advance past a Timed Event it will be Lost forever. Although Timed Events aren’t crucial to victory they can add some very nice benefits. Most Timed Events will be activated randomly as you play through, so it can be very hard to locate These Events.

Due to some recent Class changes and additions to the game and my Moving houses, ive pushed the Demo back to a later Date. I appologize for anyone who was awaiting it soon :D. BUT in good news the Newer Demo Version ill be releasing will have much more to it. Comparing the previous Demo version i made with the new Demo version there is a huge difference in quality and content. Hoping to have it out by next month, but it all depends how well this move works :D.
Also, ive updated the Game guide at the top of Page 4 with All Hero information as well as more Information about the game. (mainly a new chest type and the Boss Loot Information. Ive also updated my first Posts information so its accurate with the current version of An Epic Legend.
Enjoy and see ya soon :D

Infact i dont have any Phone/internet or Cable till Aug 13th, so ive been hammering down like Thunder on this RPG. This should definately Speed the Demo Releasing Process for sure :D
Also ive created something Called "Soldier Mode" Its more of a For fun thing than anything. You only get to pick a Single Super Soldier as your Hero. He has pre-set equipment and cannot equip any items found in the game but brings a fun and unique challenge. Ofcoarse this is optional. I would still suggest picking a regular Party your first time through :D

not all people are the same size.
naturally.
You could like, fit three of those necromancers to be as tall as the ninja, so he's paranormally huge. Also, as I said before, the necromancer, and the goblin are char-sized, while the others aren't. There's more to it than just size, it's also about the style the characters are in.

Maybe the necromancer is a dwarf, as in a midget.

Perhaps. But if you'll still have to look at the other screen shots, and the black mage, and fighter are kinda char-sized too, or at least don't fit in with the style as everyone else, and I'm pretty sure that they are humans. Not trying to sound like a jerk or anything, just kinda something that sticks out.

I agree with what you're saying, Muraiko, but not everbody is like you and me and tries to make it in all
the same style. Some pepole just don't want to put the extra effort itno every character and some do.
If you think this is bad go to Ultima Island and look at some of their games. Like that pokemon kindom hearts
thing. Don't ask I fogot what the ttile is.

Due to having so many characters of a very wide range some with unique class based equipment, the combination of Learning unique Skills through leveling and Being able to Buy Spells at Trainers, Tons and Tons of unique enemies and Bosses each that have unique abilities chances to drop items combined with a Huge amount of Craftable Equipment, i spend alot of time Balanceing. Even though there is a zillion options i find the game Flows perfectly.
The Last 3 Days without internet have been pretty boring, although ive Got Barrels and Barrels of Work done. Im also going to be updating the Game Guide on Top of Page 4 with more Information. (Again the Game Guide will be givin with the Demo.)
Im also going to be Adding more Information about the World. [Including a first Glance at the Third WorldMap (This will be on the top of Page 1)]
I do Appreciate everyones Interest in this game. Ive worked very hard for a long time. I will keep information coming to keep you posted on The Updates.
First Post Page 1 (information) has been updated. First Post Page 4 (Game Guide) Have been updated.
New info:
Factions info
The Brotherhood – The Brotherhood is a Priest-Hood of Powerful Casters Lead by Grand Hierophant Zephyrmore Primsdale. You cannot Join the Brotherhood, you must Be Born one of them. From Birth you must choose a Path, The Path of Faith or the Path of Shadow. Brothers of Faith have a much stronger Healing Potential and Higher level of Holy Power. Brothers of Shadow are Masters of the Dark Tainted Arts. The Brotherhood has Three Cities. Zenikal is the Main City of The Brothers of Faith. Tormyth is the Main City of The Brothers of Shadow. You will very Rarely See a Brother of Faith in Tormyth, and you will rarely see a Brother of Shadow in Zenikal. Then there is “The Cloud” as they call it. This is the Main Capitol of The Brotherhood and houses Both Brothers of Faith and Shadow. Also their Main Leader Lives in a Castle in “The Cloud” City.
The Tuvians – A Barbaric Nation of Humans. Although they aren’t as Smart as regular humans they are much larger and much stronger. They have been Peaceful for many Years now. Although they still kill Orcs/Goblins on Sight.
The Jackfin Company – Created by a Pirate named Jackfin. They own several of the Port Cities around the World as well as control about half of the Waterways in the World. These Pirates are usually pretty Neutral, but will exact harsh vengeance against anyone who dares Mess with their Operations or its Members.
Soldier Mode
Picking the Hero named “Soldat” will Start Soldier Mode. This means you only have Soldat as your Hero. He has Pre-Set Equipment and cannot use any Equipment found in the Game. He only has 1 Possible Ally to get named “Tankert”. Tankert cannot be controlled in combat and acts on his own. This game mode brings a new fun New Challenge to the Same Game. Although if this is your first time playing the game, I would suggest playing it normally before Trying Soldier Mode.
tips
Keep Your eye out for the Word “DARE”. If something Dares you to do an action There is a reason. Either a fight will happen or there is some Danger involved with the Action. So Keep your eyes open for the wording. Example: “Do you Dare pull the Switch?”
Timed Events
There is a lot of Things that can only be done between Certain Times. If you advance past a Timed Event it will be Lost forever. Although Timed Events aren’t crucial to victory they can add some very nice benefits. Most Timed Events will be activated randomly as you play through, so it can be very hard to locate These Events.

currently im thinking of adding
Slot 1 - Azerath(A Dark Warlock)
Slot 3- Priest(Pure Healbot) and an inventor(A Slot 3 engineer)
The inventor is mainly to add options for party composition. Cause now there will be an engineer in slot 2(robot), slot 3(Inventor) And slot 4(Goblin)
But please, if there is a hero or an intersting idea you would like to see added, post here. Im very open to peoples suggestions or ideas.

Pros
High intelligence
Powerful healing abilities.
Uses lots of Debuffs.
Cons
Must have Frog
Low defence and attack
Cannot hold any weapons except daggers.
I think this caracter would be cool. :D
Post by: RockJohnAxe on August 11, 2008, 10:11:20 PM
Hirochi- Are you talking like a Salamander lizard? or a Lizardman guy? cause ive been debating adding a Lizardman to the Roster.
Im hoping to Have about 8 Choices per Slot (not including heros that require another hero to be chosen)
Currently i have:
Slot 1: 8 choices
Slot 2: 5 Choices (6 Including Pre-Reqs)
Slot 3: 6 Choices (8 Including Pre-Reqs)
Slot 4: 5 Choices (6 Inlcuding Pre-Reqs) [Im counting The Red/Green/Blue Dragons as 1 even though they are 3 diff heroes]

Whoops. Sorry about that, but I mean he/she doesn't need a frog on the team... _sweat_(For some reason I thought I might use this today)
You can choose it to be a lizard or lizardman. It's your game after all! But I think a salamander lizard with a robe, kinda sounds interesting... But that's just me!
New Idea!
Death Bringer - Caster Hero (3)
Pros
Very High attack
Powerful spells
Little higher than average agility
Cons
Very very very low health
Very low MP
Can only use claws
Cannot wear armor, only souls.
Souls power it up with the certain soul it wears exp. Warrior soul increases Attack...
It was just another idea that came to me, but I had very little thought in it.

I was planning for a lizardman hero since the start, but i didnt have any battlechars. So im making one. Heres a Screen shot:

Here is the New Engineering Room. ( Well not so much new, as Enlarged and modified.)
(http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll11/RockjohnAxe/Engyroom2.jpg)
This is outide Wanton's Secret Dojo. Its Hidden in a Forest off of the World Map. The Fighter and Barbarian Trainers are Here. Also Ryu is an Optional Boss, but very tough.
(http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll11/RockjohnAxe/Wantons1.jpg)
This is inside Wanton's Dojo. The Blue Nation are Trying to Force Wanton to Train their King. But even Wantons Students rape them utterly.
(http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll11/RockjohnAxe/Wantons2.jpg)
Wanton Will Train you when you Defeat him in a Fight. I would suggest around level 30 to face him.

Post by: RockJohnAxe on August 19, 2008, 11:07:35 PM
The items on boxes in the engineer room are like the items in teh smithy house. you need the materils to craft it. also engineers have to train there engineer skill up, which only takes money really. the papers on the right side, are vendors so to speak. They list purchasable spells/abilities that relate to engineers only.
Post by: RockJohnAxe on August 22, 2008, 02:02:50 AM
Here is the Small Market Place, where you can buy random goods. Throughout the game the Vendors here change Random. You will never know who is there, and what could be purchased. Some of the Better items are only there for certain and totally missable durations. Always good to check back fairly often.
(http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll11/RockjohnAxe/Cogscrew1.jpg)
Here is an Alley and some shops at the bottom.
(http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll11/RockjohnAxe/Cogscrew2.jpg)
This is the Mechgineer's Place. He can make and fix robots and Vehicles and ofcoarse knows some Engineering Schnazzle!
(http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll11/RockjohnAxe/Cogscrew3.jpg)
There are alot of Thugs and theives and swindlers here, so you gotta be fairly careful. Sometimes if a new vendor pops up that you havent seen before, he could be a con artist.
Make sure to Watch your Wallet Too. You can buy [Fake Wallets] That will distract a thief if he tries to pick pocket you so you wont lose money. Thieves that dont get your money will run to somewhere in the City and can be found and Slain forever.
Bastard!!

Here is some Information about The World. Most of events recorded here are from areas in the RPG. If i was to list events for the entire planet i would need alot more space.
Major Events in The History of the World[/u]
The World is inhabited by Hundreds of Species of Creatures. For awhile it was good. The Different Races learned to work together and Grow. But those Happy times didn’t last long. The Time Lords have Watched over The World for Over 2000 Years. Here is some of the Major Events Recorded in the Logs of Time.
1950 Years ago – Darkness Started to grow in the land. Corruption started to Grow amongst some of the Creatures. This was the first Record of the Evil Smog.
1800 Years ago – As Time Passed Several Large Underground Caverns were discovered. We eventually learned that these Large Caverns Lead to what we call the “Under-Depths”. The Under-Depths are where its rumored most of the evil Creatures and demons first got to our lands. The Under-Depths seem endless, and possibly span the Entire Planet.
1780 Years Ago – Mr. Hour Becomes a Time Lord.
1765 Years Ago – “The Mystic War” Began. This war began when a Human Nation tried to Force Slavery onto all Gnomes and Fairy’s. After about 3 months, the Fairy/Gnome army completely eradicated the Human Nation and claimed all their land as their own. This happened just North of The Phoenix Hills in a place now called Razorwing Ridge, way up in the mountains.
1708 Years Ago – “The Horse War” Began. This was a Major war that broke out between A Huge group of Humans and Centaurs. Sparked by Several Trade and land disputes that could never be properly resolved, this war went on for over 2 Years until the Humans made a Sneaky Night Attack on the Centaur Tribes burning most of their Villages to the Ground. The Centaur Tribes were forced to retreat and Flee for New Land. Most of the Centaurs fled to the Southern Border of the Flame Skar and became the Stonehoof Clan. The Remaining Centaur Fled North East to the Elf Lands.
1680 Years Ago – Many Ships arrived at the most Southern Shores. These ships carried Large Humans that called themselves “Tuvians”. These barbaric people attacked several small tribes of Humans and eventually settled in Near The Sandtide Dessert.
1679 Years Ago – A fairly large army of Humans that Lived in the Sandtide dessert eventually learned of the Tuvians and their farms/cities. Feeling Threatened the “Sand Raiders” as most humans started to call them, attacked the Tuvians. The Tuvians managed to defend their Village for 3 Straight days of raids and ambushes with minimal losses, while the Sand Raiders lost Significant forces. The Sand Raiders withdrew back to the Sandtide Dessert accepting the Tuvians Might.
1660 Years Ago – The Sand Raiders eventually Formed a City in the Sandtide Dessert. They called it Sandalar. It attracted all sorts of Merchants and peoples. Sandalar Prospered and Grew exponentially for about 20 years. A Human named Hazziz Shazzari became Grand Sultan of Sandalar. Sandalar Quickly became one of the Largest Cities on the Planet.
1660-1400 Years Ago – Mostly a Peaceful Time. Most Races just grew and evolved. No large battles took place. During this Time Hazziz Helped the Elves out with a Small Demon Problem and was rewarded with a Magical Liquid that would Grant him Extremely Long Life and strength.
1400 Years Ago – “The First Demon Coming” One day the entire Earth shook Violently as a Large hole cracked open. A Large army of Demons poured out. The Demons destroyed several Human Villages around the Country. The survivors fled to The Tuvian Cities. The Demons eventually attacked the Tuvian Cities. Although aided by the Time Lords and the Stonehoof clan, it was still a losing Battle. Just when things couldn’t get any worse, an Army from Sandalar Arrived and turned the Tide of Battle. The Demons were slain, although the Giant Hole in the Earth still remains. It’s one of the more common passages into the Under-Depths.
1280 Years Ago – The Elves had a Magical Well they kept hidden and secret. The water from the Well granted Unnaturally Long life and strength. One day several Humans discovered it and brought back some of the water to their King. After its Secret was out many races came into the Elf lands demanding some of its Water. The Elves Refused to share their Prized Liquid, which started many fights and battles. Darkness started to corrupt the Elves Slowly.
1279 Years Ago – Pyrix Flameswath, a powerful Mercenary Knight, stole some of the Water from the Well without the Elves Knowledge.
1278 Years Ago – “The Dark Elf War” Begins. A Demon Army Attacked the Well and managed to take it from the Elves. The Elves Pled to the Other Races for Help but no one wanted to help the Selfish Elves. Benithous’s Family is Slain by Demons. He Joins The Time Lords and creates the Time Guard.
1277 Years Ago – The Well started to become Corrupt because of the Demons. The Corrupted Elves became so full of Hatred and Jealousy that they gathered up all corrupted Soldiers and attacked Sandalar. The Battle was fierce and the Elves had almost Demonic Strength and Moral. Hazziz decided to abandon Sandalar for the Time Being instead of losing all his People. Hazziz Met up with the Elf Leader and Demanded Answers. The Elf Leader explained how he has no control over the “Dark Elves”. Word got out about the Dark Elves and a Plan was being formed. The Sandalar Soldiers and the Remaining Elf Soldiers Gathered up with the Tuvians and the Stonehoof Centaurs and they went to Sandalar. After a long Battle the Dark elves were slain and Sandalar Taken back by Hazziz. The Army then charged the Corrupted Well and although many soldiers died the Demons were Slain and the Well taken back. As a Token of Thanks the Elf King Granted his Last Bottles of Uncorrupted Well Water to the Tuvians, Sandalarians and the Stonehoof Centaurs. Hazziz already having Drank the Immortal Waters, Gave his to his Highest ranking General Waheed, while the Tuvian King drank his as well as the Stonehoof Leader. The Elves said they will be able to uncorrupt the well, but it may take upwards of 1000 years.
904 Years Ago – Pyrix and his strongest Warriors, Walked into a large peaceful Human Nation and killed the King right off his Throne, claiming kingship of the Nation. Most of the Civilians rebelled against Pyrix and his Warriors, but were quickly slain. The remaining rebels fled the City and start a new Town called “Eldaridge”. Pyrix’s Called his new City Phenroost. This is the Start of the Phoenix Nation.
898 Years Ago – Pyrix Convinces his Brother Phyrus to join his Phoenix Nation. At First Phyrus Declines, but not long after he decides to join. Pyrix gives him some of the Magical Well Water he stole a Long time ago. Pyrix also gives some of this water to all his Elite Soldiers (Phoenix Lords)
804 Years Ago – Pyrix has a Son named Pyron. Upon Birth he gives him some of the Magical Well Water granting improved strength and long-lasting Life.
780 Years Ago – Segmond becomes a Time Lord.
665 Years Ago – Pyrix Has a Second City Build called Flamedon. The Phoenix Nation has Grown Very Large by now and is a Very Feared Force in the World.
559 Years Ago – 3 Powerful Demon Magi, which we later learned was the Dark Counsel attacked the Magic Elf Well. The Magi killed all the guards and stole all the remaining Water. The Time Lords along with a Small Force of Time Guards Arrived, but just a little to late. The Magi had Destroyed the Well completely. After a Tough battle all the Time Guard were slain except for Benithous. Time Lords were Wounded in the fight. The Dark Counsel Fled with their Prize.
559 Years Ago – Father Time New what the Dark Counsel was up too. He could sense Spreading Darkness… Something powerful was coming. The Time Lords summoned 4 Powerful Heroes of Time to help Defend against this New Threat. Tymus and Lina Feather were two of those Summoned Heroes.
558 Years Ago – The Time Heroes Train awaiting The Threat.
550 Years Ago - “The Great Demon War” Father Time Senses the Demon Lords Arrival. All Time Guard, Time Lords and Time Heroes Head to Earth and prepare to Fight The Demon Lord and his Demon Armies. The Armies battle it out for a long time. Two Time Heroes and a Time Lord are slain. Lina Sacrifices herself to Severely Wound the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord is eventually Slain Afterwards. Most of the Demons and Time Guard were slain in the Battle. The Darkness over the Land subsides a bit. Tymus, the only surviving Time Hero, Becomes a Time Lord.
220 Years Ago – Benithous Has a Son Named Thalithous.
50 Years Ago – The Darkness starts to Creep back into the Land. Father Time Senses Great Evil.
19 Years Ago - Thalithous Has a Son Named Skilithous
Present – 4 New Time Heroes are Summoned to Help Defend all of Time from the New Dark Threats.
-=This Time-line is Unfinished=-

Although since progress is slowing, ive decided to release what is currently made, since there is some solid content so far.
Although i have a VERY newb question.
How/What do i need to include for people to be able to play my "Demo."
Should i just cram all the RTP folder into a .zip?
I appreciate anyones help with this matter.

Ive decided to move to newer better projects.
At this time ive started work on a graphic novel with a friend.
in my spare time ive been working on a new RPG2k3 Project. I will release details fairly soon. But the Quality Improvement since my last game is dramatic.
Ill have screen shots when my custom stuff is more finished.
Till then, can you tell me what i need to put in a .zip so i can host An Epic Legend. ATM im just assuming the RTP folder and the Project Folder, but please confirm this with me, so i can post it fast.
Thanks for your support and ill have more to feast on soon.
EDIT: Muraiko, how would u get my custom sprites etc, without the RTP folder.
Post by: Muraiko on December 16, 2008, 01:21:44 PM
Of course, if you used alot of RTP, and are having a difficult time sorting through which ones you used or didn't use, then by all means, forget what I said, and just include the RTP. Use the "Create a game disk" folder to just check mark the box that asks if you want to include the Run Time Package.
Post by: RockJohnAxe on December 17, 2008, 12:00:10 AM
A Few Things to consider before playing:
1 - This is my first major Game. The Quality is rather poor in the first 2 areas, but the quality grealty increases as you get further.
2 - Levels are key. If something is beating your face in, come back in a level or 2 or when u get some better gear. Everything is beatable.
3 - When the game starts, getting to tymus fast helps alot early game. He gives 10k XP and stat books for getting to him, and that helps alot. Hes located in The Hillside town, thru the bushes. go north near the buildings then to the right thru the bushes.
Here is a Copy of the World Map, pretty much all the locations of events are marked on the map. Good luck and enjoy!

I look back on it now after working on my goblin game so long and flippin laugh.
It was a fantastic learning experience ill say.
Well, If anyone needs help with any of it or have some feed back would love to hear it. Either Way! I wont really be updating this thread unless someone posts about the game.
