Title: Desolation - The Last Mage
Post by: ThexXtremeXx on July 01, 2009, 08:45:31 PM: Story

Four men rode the nights silently across the lands whispering chants amongst the orb of lament(a relic known to posses powers),
their eyes glowed red to those watching their stride. The men reached the king's kingdom of Dartmouth and wreaked
havoc in their wake. The kingdom fell while a new rule began. The lives of many would be claimed, but in the process
saved. The people believe in a man these days, that man; is you.

(Yes I know the story is bad, it's not really the focus of the game, it's really based upon multiple quests
that take you to different parts of the world and make you become a different person. If you stick to the main
story then you will finish the game pretty quickly.)

Title: Re: Desolation - The Last Mage
Post by: ThexXtremeXx on July 02, 2009, 04:20:57 PM: well...the game kinda just lays out a world map and you choose how to take on that small story and really
change it into almost anything.

The game uses an abs, which i already have created sprites for, so that's not a problem this time.

Title: Re: Desolation - The Last Mage
Post by: _JeT_ on July 02, 2009, 05:06:26 PM: Can you give some more info on the ABS? Are you going to have skills, magic, items, or any of that?
Title: Re: Desolation - The Last Mage
Post by: ThexXtremeXx on July 02, 2009, 06:10:43 PM: Yep. Magic and Skills, just added a pic.

Post by: ThexXtremeXx on July 03, 2009, 04:25:08 AM: ABS is useable, but VERY buggy.

Demo Progress: 10%

Game Progress (Coding/Sprites/Images): 21%

STORY UPDATE:

Four men rode the nights silently across the lands whispering chants amongst the orb of lament(a relic known to posses powers),
their eyes glowed red to those watching their stride. The men reached the king's kingdom of Dartmouth and wreaked
havoc in their wake. The kingdom fell while a new rule began. The lives of many would be claimed, but in the process
saved. The people believe in a man these days, that man; is you.

The mage looks like a perv...
Title: Re: Desolation - The Last Mage
Post by: fruckert on July 07, 2009, 07:03:50 AM: I'm not too fond of that zoom in.
It almost looks like just a blob of pixels.
Everything else looks nice, though (not talking about the title screen, just the overall game)
Title: Re: Desolation - The Last Mage
Post by: ThexXtremeXx on July 07, 2009, 07:09:42 AM: I'll wait for a few more opinions before i change it.

though what would you recommend?
Title: Re: Desolation - The Last Mage
Post by: fruckert on July 07, 2009, 07:14:59 AM: Hmm...I'm not really coming up with much, honestly.
Maybe you should try just the clouds and the title words?
Title: Re: Desolation - The Last Mage
Post by: ThexXtremeXx on July 07, 2009, 07:41:35 AM: ok, lets see...

Title: Re: Desolation - The Last Mage
Post by: fruckert on July 07, 2009, 07:45:14 AM: I was thinking the words more being in the top/middle.
But whatever, it's your game, do what you want.
Title: Re: Desolation - The Last Mage
Post by: HobomasterXXX on July 07, 2009, 08:16:50 AM: That DEMO frame is really unnessecary.
Title: Re: Desolation - The Last Mage
Post by: zuhane on July 07, 2009, 11:26:38 AM: Seems to have an eery atmosphere freom what I can gather from the 2 screenies.

That's good. I'm sick of games where you just go in castles and overworlds and stuff, they
lack any form of atmosphere. I like it where you travel around, get stranded, go to weird
places.

Anyway, nice mapping!

That DEMO frame is really unnessecary.

I needed a frame so that cropping the screenshots would be easier.
It wont be there in the actual demo of the game.

That's actually a fairly nice plan. Although the 'DEMO' word part is still kind of unnecessary.

Post by: ThexXtremeXx on July 26, 2009, 10:06:41 AM: I probably should start working on this again.
