Post by: Ruler of the Dark on May 23, 2004, 10:33:04 PM: Story Line
501 years ago, a dark evil purged the land of Kelia. This unnamed evil used it's malevolent powers to posses people's minds through 'shadows'. It took 7 high mages to banish this evil. This was still after 100 years of battle. The high mages' descendants were bound to guard the threshold between Kelia and the Dark Realm, the place where the evil was banished to. However, the evil had planned for this and had a powerful person 'shadowed'.
It has taken 400 years for this bewitched being to find a way to resurrect it's master. Now on the 501st year after the evil event, the possesed human is bringing the evil one back. The fate of Kelia, and maybe much more, are in the hands of four people. Thus the beginning of the Dark World saga!

Post by: Ruler of the Dark on May 24, 2004, 01:54:23 AM: Ha ha. Demo. I just started this game today. Not the story, I've been working on that for a while (I have more then I wrote, but if I put any more it would spoil the element of suprise :D ). I have no idea when the demo'll be out.

Post by: Ruler of the Dark on May 25, 2004, 08:22:26 PM: Here's a picture that might end up my title. It shows Xavier (Blue Guy), Alisa (Blond haired), Von (Archer), and Eric.

Are there any suggestions for my game?

Post by: Red Giant on May 28, 2004, 09:38:08 PM: Umm... sorry, but the storyline sounds just like "Zelda: A link to a past".
Even the number of mages is right.
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on May 28, 2004, 09:58:40 PM: Zelda didn't have shadows.
I can change the number of mages too, it was just a number, no significance.

That's hardly the point. It's just like saying the main character isn't called Link. It makes no real difference.
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on May 28, 2004, 10:40:22 PM: But it's not really like zelda, except for the evil being banished and revived. But that's in alot of games.

Post by: MrMister on May 28, 2004, 11:39:57 PM: I dunno, I think this game looks great, and the story seems perfectly original to me. Maybe Red Giant has something against inspiration. :badboy:
Title:
Post by: Pedro Lion on May 28, 2004, 11:48:32 PM: looks a great game and i dont know zelda games very well.the problem is that with all that functions and endings thi game will take a loooong time to be finished...

Post by: RPG LORD on May 29, 2004, 08:03:53 AM: Do you need me to make a custom system set for this?
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on May 29, 2004, 04:11:37 PM: No, I am using pictures for the extra menus
Title:
Post by: MrMister on May 29, 2004, 04:31:02 PM: I find it easiest to use chipsets and charasets for custom menus, but it doesn't look nearly as spiffy.
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on May 29, 2004, 10:46:03 PM: I'm not going for easy, I want to make my first completed game very good.
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on May 30, 2004, 03:45:50 PM: Could somebody make this better?
Its my intro background and it just looks bad. If you can't tell, it needs an evil thing chasing people, 1 being possesed, people bowing to it, 7 mages banishing it, 7 mages guarding the seal, and some guy with a magic summoning circle. This thing needs to look like it was made by aboriginals or something ancient
Title:
Post by: Sephiroth rocks on May 30, 2004, 08:45:56 PM: It'd look better if it was carved into a rock or something (most ancient civilizations didn't have paper).
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on June 04, 2004, 12:12:09 PM: More functions now.
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on June 06, 2004, 04:45:35 PM: Screenshots:
Intro thingy (Much thanks Nanatzia_Kuja)
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on June 06, 2004, 04:46:29 PM: My music playing system
(this is the first song you learn, the Song of Friendship)
Title:
Post by: MrMister on June 06, 2004, 04:51:54 PM: Wow, this IS starting to look like Zelda.
I think for the number of mages should be 5 so they can go in a circle and make the devil star thing.
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on June 06, 2004, 05:11:37 PM: Well, in my opinion, the only real similarity between this and zelda is the instrument stuff and some bgms. Other than that, this whole thing came out of my onw head.
Title:
Post by: Red Giant on June 06, 2004, 08:19:13 PM: Wow. Although, well done on your part for making an instrument system, that is reeeeal Zeldaish.
I'd change the instrument at least. Is the ocarina important? 'Cos mad Zelda lovers will hate you for this.
Title: uhm
Post by: grand_PiNpOn on June 07, 2004, 09:37:23 AM: nah...i won't hate ya dude
i can say i'm a huge Zelda fan

i like that big time:D
maybe ya can make it into a tutorial if ya want to

Can i use it???

Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on June 10, 2004, 11:15:34 PM: Update on Story
In the start of the game, you are in a reactor/factory. Along with 2 other recruits of the Filinean Army and a commander, you are finding out why the energy flow is stoping. It is a broken Machine, but you discover a secret monster creation project under the reactor.....

Maybe he has something against 1000000 times used cliches.
Title:
Post by: SonicChaos7 on June 12, 2004, 09:21:44 PM: I hate lots of cliches. Some are ok to have, some might even improve the game (if it sucks already anyway). But that's besides the point. I really don't think it's too great of an idea to have a ocarina or zelda music system in the game (copyright infringemnets!). That is unless you give them kudos.
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on June 13, 2004, 01:53:32 PM: I'm using the instrument systems because I thought it was cool. I'm not going to sell my game so it's not illegal for copyrights.

clinches? I made this thing out of my own head. The only clinches I can see are great evil and special saviors.

They are exactly the ones used millions of times.

Post by: psoevan on June 13, 2004, 06:05:03 PM: Well i think that the game has good potential. Just try to add more origiality. But a great start. :guns:
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on June 13, 2004, 11:05:32 PM: I'm quitting this game.
(or is that too cliche?)

Post by: SonicChaos7 on June 13, 2004, 11:36:51 PM: Yes it is! People quit making games too often!
