HALOES ABOVE US
This game includes.
Homosexual relationships.
Blood
Some bad language
violence
Drawn Still scenes by me. *I can't draw very well.*
Partial Nudity is a few of the drawn scene nothing to explicit.
Possibly Voice acting when its released.
Some choices will affect 3 diffrent people/relationships during
the game.
Very well hidden items.
Depending on how good or bad your relationship is with certain people
you may learn a new attack skill.
Not counting the main characters you can choose between 3 to have in your party.
If i'm not lazy 2 parts to the game.
I know its not anything to special.
Part 1
Final Path
Haloes Above Us
Don't insult my story too much theres more to it than I can make it sound
and i'm trying to get a demo done as soon as possible
You're first look at Kei is in two pictures while he is talking to someone.
He looks pretty normal medium hair loose fitting clothing.
Talking about changing and his first mission.
You play as Kei *name may be changed* a ordinary fighter. Who lives in a place
with hundred of other people all working for a organization called
Zen-Aku.
Zen-Aku basicially do what they say is good to progress the World
to a better state.
During Kei's first missions he and two others are using a item to teleport down set explosives
in a city and then teleport back but after Kei has set his charge he can't teleport back and
is left behind in the explosion.
Kei survives near death and it attended to by a girl named Kasis.
when Kei reocvers he starts his mission to make his way back
to the only home he knew.
Not for revenge but just to return.
To make it clear this isn't a Save The World rpg.
I know it sounds lame but there is alot more to it and It gets better.
This is the only screen atm the title.
I'll post some of the drawn shots tonight.
And once I get done editing the charasets i'll show some screens.
Title
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e16/Nandez-kun/HaloTitle.jpg)
One of the starting screens (nothing special)
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e16/Nandez-kun/airship.jpg)
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e16/Nandez-kun/Image13-1.jpg)
This is one of the scenes at the beginning .
(http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/HaloesAboveUs/Opening.jpg)
Profile.
Name - Kei
Age - 19
Hair- Black
Eyes- Changes (pay attention to his eyes from the charasets they change for a reason)
Profile - Kei has always been with Zen-Aku but he is nothing above average.
It well known to eveyrone in Zen-Aku that Kei isn't as strong as most of the members
so it a mystery as to why Lucian finally chose Kei to assist them on a mission.
After Kei fails his mission and he lives through the explosion he starts his journey home
but he can't seem to find his way back.
Name - Lucian
Age - 28
Hair - Long Black
Eyes- Dull
Profile - Lucian was chosen to lead the latest mission of Zen-Aku and chose people he thought would
be best suited. He chose Kei, Garren, and Kaylem. No one has ever seen Lucian fight but he seems
to be one of the strongest members of Zen-Aku he usually avoids confrontation because
he finds ways to talk and persuade people rather than cause any violence himself.
Name - Garren
Age-25
Hair - Medium Length Silver
Eyes - Dull
Profile - Garren is thought to be one of the strongest people in Zen-Aku not because his skill is unmatched but because
he never expresses emotion during battle causes him to lose his thought no matter what situation he is in.
He follows Lucian like a God and never questions him having no reaosn to ever doubt him.
After Kei is believed to be dead Garren can't help but question why Lucian chose Kei.
Name - Kaylem
Age - 26
Hair - Short Red
Eyes - Brown
Profile - Kaylem is the third member chosen by Lucian to assist on the mission is another one of the people Lucians most often chooses. Kaylem is soft spoken and very aggressive in the mission but he is usually acts normal when they are back at Zen-Aku.
Name - Kasis
Age-23
Hair - Undecided
Eyes- Green
Profile - Kasis is a a sweet girl she tries to give everyone a chance despite what they have down she can't help but be nice.
She see Kei bleeding to death and decides to help him it isn't until much later she finds out Kei was one of the people who destroyed
the city but despite this she holds no grudge against.
She decides to travel with him for a short time because of her affection torwards him.
Name - Allen
Age 25
Hair - Undecided
Eyes - Blue
Profile - Allen joins your party at sporadic moments usually leaving without saying a word and coming back at random times.
He claims he only keeps joining because he gets bored and likes to see if Kasis and Kei are going to do more than travel together.
Though despite Allen's intentions he seems to have alot of affection for Kei.
Name - Reika
Age - 18
Hair - Undecided
Eyes - Brown
Profile - Reika is around Kei alot when he was at Zen-Aku she was deeply in love with him known by eveyrone there for he displays of affections towards him all the time.
She and Kei lived together at Zen-Aku ever since they were younger the last time she sees Kei is the morning before he leaves as they talk about changing. Kei's death hits her the hardest and leaves Zen-Aku for a short time. Unlike Kei she doesn't fight or go on missions she just stays with him.
More to come..
Its not just a organization that carries out missions.
It like a very small city where people live people who don't fight like Reika stay there and only those willing to fight carry out missions
if they are strong enough.
Zen-Aku is made up of dozens of people each one serving a seperate purpose even if some are just there to live.
Zen-Aku destroys places that are corrupting pieces of the World even if it means killing hundreds of people during the task.
Most of it members who don't fight are unaware of innocent people being killed.
Though those who go on missions always know the risk but believe its for the better good.
Or what they consider to be good.
Most of the people there don't know when or how it was created or how any of it came about.
Just that it has always been there for hundreds of years.
To most of its members its nothing more than a home.
The very home Kei wants to return to.
The name means Good-Evil doing evil things for the greater good.
-
The beginning sounds like the one from Final Fantasy IV. You're brave as to homosexuality, by the way. Not many games do that, lest any RPG Maker games. Keep working! :)
-
Its a good drawing, better than I can do anyway. Keep it up.
-
As long as the homosexuallity is done tastefully, its really a plot mechanism that is rarely used and could possibly lead to the unheard of
Original Content In an RPG maker game
-
It will be tasteful.
I already have better drawings just I have to scan them for previews.
I'll try to get them up tonight plus the character Bios.
-
I didn't mean to call it FFIV; I'm just sayin' that the beginning is about the same.
Your game: Guy goes to explode place. Can't teleport. Wounded. Wakes up with girl named Kasis.
FFIV: Guy goes to explode place but doesn't know it. Girl makes earthquake. Wounded. Wakes up with girl named Rydia.
-
Homosexual relationships.
AWWWW YEAH
-
Nandez, I think the fingers are too wrinkly. Makes him look like he was a war veteran that had his hand blown off and replaced with that of an old guy. That or a lizard.
AWWWW YEAH
Ew, you perv.
-
@ DedlellyDeth I had already changed the pic ) but thanks I appreciate the comments on what to do make it look better, and really I don't remember that from FF4 but then again last I played it was over 10 years ago.
Maybe it got stuck in my mind from when I was a little kid.
@ Valiere lmao
-
Still looks wrinkly. I think you should do them lighter, at least.
-

Thats still the same pic I havn't uploaded the new pic.

Oh, sorry. Your game looks cool, BTW.
-

Ew, you perv.
There is nothing wrong with cheering on some gaysex
-
Thats right gemini.
: )
But I think he was joking.
-
Who are all the party members anyway? I'm curious.
Also, alot of people seem to be commenting on the Homosexuality aspect, so I guess I'll contribute. Who exactly is the gay person anyway? Can't be Kei, since he wakes up with that girl, right?
-
Interesting.
I haven't yet seen a game with homosexual relationships, but it does sound interesting.
My friend might be interested.... hmm.... (B)
-
That girl is attending to his wounds.
Kei isn't gay but I have not decided whether or not he will be Bi or straight.
One of the relationships featuring homosexuality has him in but it mostly goes unrequited if Kei is Bi I could explore it
further the main relationships featuring homosexuality
are with 2 main characters and a few antagonists.
Promise i'll have at least 5 bios up later today..
-

I'm starting to think you're gay, Gemini. <.< Just kidding.
[spoiler]Maybe.[/spoiler]
-
Very clich profiles added to the first post.
-
Gemini's said he's bi.
And Nandez, your art style is simple but certainly conveys the emotions you're intending it to convey. I love it when people put their own art into their games. I approve.
-
Dissapointed in my last 2 drawings i'm doing alot of diffrent quick sketches up Kei to make a better picture
this one is better but looks a bit too old.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e16/Nandez-kun/Image9.jpg)
-
Your sketches look very similar to Rywho's Windows Live Messenger display picture. You know him?
-
Never heard of him.
-
It may just be the computer I'm on, but the last picture you posted looks very very faint, like it's almost just a white box.
-
Well its just a skethc so yeh it is very light but I could see fine on my screen so it may be your contrastbut i'll post it again later when I get these other sketches done.
-
Yeah, it's probably the contrast on this comp.
-
New screen shot added.
@ Muraiko
In the Bios Allen is gay, but he doens't join the party until around 30% through unless
I change it to make him join earlier.
-
So Allen is love with Kei then? And Kei isn't exactly gay so...
Also, I would love it if you could put pictures of what each characer looks like (or at least their Charaset) by their names in the bio. I just find it very nice to be able to match each name with a face. This game looks really interesting, and I'd definalty play it once a demo comes out!
-
I'll post their Charasets I don't have like a drawn picture for each one yet.
I'm redoing the first images posted to add more detail and I havn't decided whether Kei is Bi or not but most likely he is going to be straight.
Allen isn't the only homosexual character in the game just the only one who likes Kei. There are several others I havn't posted all the bios or theirs because every character except Allen posted so far are included
in the first 30 minutes of play and the rest come into the game later. I'll post some of the Charasets in a bit Kei's design/character sets change 4 times within the first hour of gameplay.
Kei civilian (work in progress rough draft)
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e16/Nandez-kun/2.jpg)
Someone I know drew this picture of Kei for fun.
Yeh she is alot better than me but it won't be in the game.
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e16/Nandez-kun/Kei.jpg)
-
Also not drawn by me just quick sketches by my friend of how she thinks the characters look.
From the sprites I showed.
Order goes
Allen - Kei - Garren
Allen - My sketches of him will be alot diffrent but she got the basis of him well.
Kei - My sketch of Kei will be nothing like hers.
Garren- She did Garren very well mine will be close to the same design.
(http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/HaloesAboveUs/fan.jpg)
-
Are you going to color them in? I think they may look better as just scetches.
-

Those last one are just from gf and at most I may use them in the credits.
My won't be colored because I can't because I suck at coloring really bad.
-
I support the gay sex.
-
Nothing special but part of one of the first stages.
Meh

When Pensioner Fellatio comes out, there'll be plenty of homosexuality :D
-
Sounds like it could be simple and kinda sweet. I like the idea.
-
I like the idea and your openness to homosexuality. It's a brave thing and should be included far more often that it is.(Although fangirls are pretty fast at making it happen in fannart.
I was just wondering if the character-relationships are parts of the story or if you will have some kind of "Affection level" rising along the game which decides who the characters will get together with.
I remember Tales of symphonia having this. Depending on how much people died and how you chose your answers to questions along the games storyline. At the final parts of the game you was given special conversations and endings depending on who had the highest affection value.
It was great, but Lloyd didn't like men in that one. It was more like a "man-love in a totally non-gay way".
Best of luck anyway. I hope this progresses further. The world could need one of these more original titles.
-
The relationships will progress and and there will be points in the game where if you choose certian things it affects your conversation later on.
For example even though Kei isn't Bi or Gay if you make the right choices during some points he will still start to fall a little for Allen. Or if you make the wrong he will not return any affection towards Allen.
Some of the other characters you will get to take control of and if you do the right thing as them and Kei
they may get together with their love.
Kei, Kasis, Garren, Reika, and Allen's relationships are all big parts of the Story.
Especially Allen's.
The ending for "Final Path Haloes Above Us" is a set non changing ending though because I have written out the entire game story and its split into two pieces Part 2 will have at least 4-6 ending depending on who died in 1 and 2 and who got hooked up with who.
Don't worry i'm not going to abandon this project so no matter how long it takes i'll make sure Part 1 and 2 are both released.
Some deaths no matter what choice is made will still happen but your dialogue choice will decide what is said when they die, and if something special happens before they die or you just let them pass away.

Ok I know its the DBS yes and I know "Bad Me" for using the Tales Of Animations.
But i'm at least editing them and recoloring them so there not the exact same thing that you've seen before.
That's Kei before the explosive his animation changes after the Explosion.
I'm also not using the chibi Tales of sprites I hate them so i'm just making the sprites for each one.
-
Tales of the world sprites. You can do some pretty good thing with those if you have the patience.
-
I mean the like Chibi Sprites like
Tales of the world sprites. You can do some pretty good thing with those if you have the patience.
These are the ones I mean (http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/HaloesAboveUs/Characters1.png) There good and all I just really really dislike them. Trust me I have the patience ;)
So I figured I would just create a sprite for every character instead.
The character change designs /clothes along the journey anyway.
-
Well, you better get some RTP styled heroes if they are in a world with RTP styled NPCs. Or they'll look huge.
edit. And that mention of clothing change makes me assume that this does not take place in a medieval setting.

Like I said i'm making editing/making charasets for some of the characters and not using those so they are RTP styled.
Example
Kei before mission (I made) Kei during Mission (recolored) Kei After Mission (I Made)
(http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/HaloesAboveUs/Kei.png)
I know his eye color is diffrent in the last one Kei's changing eyes are tied into the story.
I'm trying to make it inbetween Future and medieval.
As little Medievil as I can because thats been in so many games beforehand.
Mostly slightly a little behind Modern time but some of the places are more advanced like Nighlen (the city you go to destroy in the beginning)
But there will be some undeveloped places. Think FF6 some past some future.
-
Right, sounds great then, some variation.
I was just thinking about the clothing when I read it.
Medieval people didn't change clothes because they didn't have factories to make them. It was pretty obvious that you wore a pair of clothes until they dropped.
But later on, clothing became easy to come by. And people bought many different kinds of clothes to wear.
That's one of the main reasons that you don't see characters change their clothes in games.
-
Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the only older games I can remember where the main character changed clothes 3 times.
Kei's clothes change around 5-6 times through part 1 and 2 thats why you see in the picture I drew at the top he is wearing a hoodie. I havn't made the charaset for the hoodie yet.

That and the fact that game makers are usually too lazy to make more than one set of clothign for a sprite, lol.
-

Haha true. Why I wanted mine to change at least little because during games I find myself getting sick of looking at the same old thing.

Last room in Nighlen.
-
Needs creepy light and some kind of blinking machine to be perfect.
And perhaps line up the tubes. 'Cuz I assume someone worked there.
-
Not really sure how to light up the tubes.
There is a machine at the upper part of the room.
I had them lined up but all the floating fetus's side by side annoyed me greatly.
Creepy light?
-

Creepy light?
He means use the change the "tint" in game.
-
Oh
-
Lol what annoyed me was seeing the same thing floating so much ina one big line.
I wanted to add more people in tubes but there is only suppsoed to be one.
So I was like uuugh damn lines.
-
(http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/HaloesAboveUs/tube2.jpg)
Tried to make it better but sitll looks meh.
-
It looks good keep it up.
-
Yeh I hate the way the last drawing came out tis terrible but I don't feel like redoing it again i'm wondering whether not to keep the "light streak" at the top left
-
After much consideration the gay relationship involving the main character is pursuable
You can now choose to pursu it or no, before it was there , but Kei wouldn't pursue it.
Now you can choose to have a relationship involving boy or girl

Demo coming soon.
-
I'm loving the new screens and your drawings! Get that demo out soon man!!
-
I absolutely love that Battle Char!!!
-
Yeah, that battle char looks great.
-
(http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/HaloesAboveUs/MUltipleslash.jpg)
Demo coming soon.
Interesting is that a CBS or the DBS? Ethier way you've got me interseted in this.
-

DBS.
-
Have to ask which you would rather see even though I know the anwser
Battle sets like the first or second.
They both have drawbacks 1 less backgrounds and other complications later but more animation attacks 2 less animation attacks better background and less complications later.
I also wanted to script a CBS but you know how much rpgmaker2003 and customs scripts don't mix.
(http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/HaloesAboveUs/KEei.png)
-
1
-
I like 1 more, but 2 might look better long-term with easier customization.
-
I figured 1 because it defiently is better "prettier" just the backgrounds working with those are a bitch.
-

Looks good. As for the floating fetus area, I think it looks too full, and too repetitive. Have them in lines with a space between each maybe? And maybe add a few broken/empty ones, or with failed attempts (like in Alien - Ressurection)
And is this being made on 2k3?

Yes its rm2k3
And the broken one falls in line with story which is why there is only : ) but yeh I am going to do something to give more variation than just fetus, human, and blood.
The blood is kind of the failed attempts.
-
2 because you can customize it much easier. That's one of the flaws of using TOW sprites, they look good, but they are thought to modify and their color schemes are to pale no matter what you do.

True the most I would have been doing was recoloring them like I did these.

Ah aand that brings another problem to light, you cant realy change their faces much so they look too much like their predecsors. That's why I would JUS sprites, they can be recoloered till you can't even tell where they came from.

Yes the faces can't be changed because its just like a Eye I mean no matter how much u recolor you can recolor everything every pixel and you would still be able to tell they came from TOW.
There so pretty though XDDD
But I am leaning more towards sprites because its jsut seems much more conveniet compared to the TOW even though i love the TOW battle sets.
Also less restrictions with sprties, lol the only thing that annoys me is I wanted it to be pretty since I can't use a script in rm2k3 for a cbs.
Owell win some lose some.
-
It will be tasteful.
Yeah, I noticed that in stories written by/for horny teenage boys, most of the women are lesbian. Similarly, in stories written by/for hrony teenage girls, bost of the men are gay. I believe that it can be done tastefully and make the story better, but some people would get a bad impression at fitst glance. Some people might just write it off as a horny FFIV fan game.
I'm not saying that it's what your game is going to be, just that some people could dismiss it that way.
