By event, I mean a point in my game. Ex.-A building blowing up.(You get it.) So here they are.
Skylar Lancaster (Blonde haired character)
Age: 16
Sex: Male
Weapon: Sword
Description/Story: Skylar is the main character of this tale. At the start of the game, he is an "elite" well trained soldier of the Western Resistance. He boasts in his amazing sword skills, but lacks in his ability to stand up for himself.
Haru Linaf (Silver haired character)
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Weapon: Double Sword
Description/Story: Haru is Second in Command of the Western Reistance. He is of the few in the world who can wield two blades, and still have the speed and agility as if he were holding nothing. He is very determined and wont stop until he has reached his goal. Although this is very good, it also makes him somewhat arrogant of his own power. (Foreshadowing?)
Draight Zaff (Gray long-haired character)
Age: 61
Sex: Male
Weapon: Gun
Description/Story: Draight is an extremely talented pilot. On both land and sea, there is nobody better. He is very warm-hearted and is always in the mood to help. Just by looking at his face, you can see the many stories of his adventures.
Serra Valentine
Age: 15
Sex: Female
Weapon: Bow and Arrow
Description/Story: Serra is half human-half bird. Living off of the land, she has adapted great athletic and archer skills. Extremely adapted to the land, she is a great navigator.
As for the story, that will be posted later. As well for screenshots because I just started making maps. The video will be posted once it is finished so stay posted. If you like it so far please tell me.
Thank you!
P.S.- I need help with poses so all who want to help with anything at all, feel free to PM me.
plz tell me what you think.

It probably is early in the game when the main character is a knight or something and later becomes a rebel, but I don't really know I'm just guessing...

here is a fixed screenshot of the first screenshot.

right now you could edit the character set to make her close her eyes like some sorta oracle

BTW...which maker are you using?
Post by: Linkforce on March 17, 2005, 01:45:13 AM
and also she is an oracle. and the map is plain because the main character is in another dimension. where nothing exists. dont just criticize w/o knowing the backround behind the shot.

don't get mad now
Post by: Linkforce on March 17, 2005, 03:11:51 AM
Basically, my story is about a guy named Skylar. He is in an rebellion called the Western Resistance. A few years ago, the Western king died, and his younger brother took over. Ever since then, the western continent became chaotic. The king, for some reason, wants to start a war. Although the people of the world think it is for power, there is more going on than what the eye sees.
(More to come soon)

I have a question that I never bothered to ask... what did you need my charset for anyways???

Post by: Linkforce on March 18, 2005, 02:33:24 AM
Zephyr (Will be named Zyero first)
Age: Unknown (Looks 23)
Sex: Unknown (Looks male)
Weapon: Cannon (Futuristic Cannon)
Description/Story: Zephyr is an android sent from the far future. He was built with the task of protecting the Soul Flame Bearers at all cost. He lacks ability to understand humans, and is extremely stiff. He will play a HUGE role in the development of each character.

Event: Theres a point in my game wher the crew gets thrown into jail. They are proved guilty of the crime, and are sentenced to death. On the day of thier death sentence (day they will be killed), all the guards in the jail dissapear. Skylar awakens with his cell door open, and blood on the floor. Also on the floor, is a yellow medallion w/o a flame in the middle of it. What does this mean? What happened here? Who did this? And are they in more danger than before? You'll have to play to find out. lol.
If you liked this segment, please tell me, and I will post more action packed events. Thanks for all the replies in advance. :D

PS: I agree that you should try to make your game as realistic as possible because when you release it people will notice the tiny mistakes and they wont like it.
Post by: Linkforce on March 19, 2005, 11:15:28 PM
and as for the realism, those were not final shots. i just posted it like that, cause i wanted to get some screens across. dont worry, it will be realisic. :D

Try adding some wild life and layering the tops of the trees. I see trees being layered with that tileset in a lot of good games, I attached a screen I whipped up in a few minutes to show you what I mean :)
You don't have the change the layout at all to layer the trees, and it can be done rather quickly.

Plot : Okay, in this game there are 7 Soul flames; relics from the past that were combined to create an immense and unstoppable power. In the past, 7 heroes went on a long and perilous journey to find them and defeat the evil that threatned thier land. When they found them, the united the Flames and were granted immense power......but for a price. Their bodies became one, and they were forced to stay that way for all eternity. (Fate plays a cruel hand as we all know) So after defeating the evil, the Legendary hero dissapeared, and the 7 Soul Flames seperated and were flung to the far corners of the world. But instead of all them seperating, one was left behind and dissapeared along with the hero. Now, almost 200 years later, all of the Soul Flames have been found, and are kept in Tombs (not real name). Only those worthy of their power can face a Soul Flame.
Now, a great evil is beggining to loom from the shadows. But with a Soul Flame misiing, how will you defeat it? You must aquire each one, and along the way, learn of the past, so that you can find out how to resurect the remaining Soul Flame.... if it is even possible.
Well, thats basically it. Please tell me what you think! :D

Skylar: Because I'm afraid!
Haru: ...
Skylar: Knowbody knows what I go through. I have so many things to say..... but I just keep it bottled up inside me all the time..... I know it's not good...... but I can't find myself to say it..... Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only one knowone cares about. Like I'm just a piece of ground that people walk all over all the time...
Haru: But I care about you..... You're more than just a friend Sky..... you're like a brother to me.......... You can't let people do this to you...... because you're better than that....... and you know it.
"The Bond of Friendship" -Skylar and Haru.

Post by: Linkforce on April 10, 2005, 05:02:54 AM
Okay, here's a new character... he's probably the wierdest looking character in my game.
Halvor Seir
Age: Unknown (Looks about 10)
Sex: Unknown (Sounds male)
Weapon: Guitar/Magic
Description/Story: Halvor is an extremely diverse "person". Although he looks very young, he has the wisdom and knowledge as if he had been living for hundreds of years. He used to be a sage, but for some reason began to pick up Guitar. He is EXTREMELY talented at the guitar. His songs can put even the gods at rest.
Btw, this is a great character addition, because he will add very nice guitar music to the game which i downloaded from a movie. :)
Comments are appreciated... :D

I added a little twist to it though ^^
When importing as a [GLOW]Picture[/GLOW], make the reddish colour in the background transparent, then, on th the map where you plan to show the chapter name, Place some kind of paralax moving background behind it (When testing it, i used a cloudy BG and it rocked!!!, go on MSN l8r and i'll send the panorama ^^).
trust me, it looks really cool when u do this ;)

Okay, recently I've been working on maps. I am remaking my 1st demo as you all know, and it is coming along slowly but surely. A while ago I posted about some creatures I will have. Well, they are actually extremely important to the storyline. So here is the description and story behind them.
They are called Zylacs or Zylaks. They are weird looking creatures that came from the future. What is very wierd about them, is that they don't have a past. Meaning that they were only there in the future. But are now here in the present. They have no backround behind them, no information on them because they were never even seen or talked about. Not even in myths or anything of that sort. While their true purpose on the Earth (Grepher) is still a mystery, they always appear at the peak of danger. Although they look like regular Alien-like creatures, they are actually very smart. They carry out coordinated plans, and are very strong. With the low technology of the current time, they are very hard to fight off, and 90% of the time are left alive only to leave behind hundreds of dead civilians in their wake. They vary in size and shape, but they still have a distinct look in them. All hope for humanity is rapidly fading. The problems of the people and the Continents do not even come close in comparison to the Zylacs (Zylaks). but humanitys savior is not far. It will arrive soon, and unleash its awesome powers to help protect this world that he was built to protect.
And here is what one of their forms looks like. This one is called a Reaver.

Okay, after much thinking, I've decided to name my game series Eternal Star . The first game will be called Eternal Star: The Living Flame . Ill need an edit to my title, so if anyone can change the words, it'd be appreciated. Also, does this title sound too cliche?
Heres the title. Can someone edit this one?

Post by: Linkforce on May 09, 2005, 02:54:21 AM
Anyways, I just finished my new skill system which someone helped me with. Here it is.
The skill system is kind of an extention to the default skill system if you will. Heres how it works. Each character has a maximum amount of skills they can have at once. For instance, Skylar can only have a maximum of 8 skills learned. But Zephyr, being much stronger, can have a maximum of 15 skills.
Now, whenever a skill is learned, that characters max number of skills able to hold is filled up. So what happens when you exeed the limit? Well, there is a special item/place (dont know yet) that holds the skills that are not able to fit into the characters max slots. So whenever you get to this special place, or get to the place where you can use the item, you can switch skills.
Thats bascially it. I might add a rare item that lets you increase a characters max number of skills, but thats all and idea right now. So....tell me what you think. :D

Yes, Dragoninja, Stark is strong. I didn't know that Stark meant Strong in Swedish! Talk about coincidence (sp?) ^^'
And Moosetroop11, yes, since those maps I have greatly improved. Alot of my previos screens have either been updated, or trashed entirely. So my whole game will look like my most recent screens. And now for an update.
Update: As usual, everything is going smoothly. I spent the whole prvious week mapping, and now I am on to eventing. And honestly, all the events are working very smoothly. I surprise myself everyday! If this gret progress continues, expect a demo within the next month! Stay posted. :D

The first boss you'll encounter. It's very hard. But not unbeatable. Yes, it is a Zylac.
Enjoy! ;)

I've been wondering where you got those ugly Zylacs thing for a while now too...

And I guess that AsakuraHao2004 doesn't reply to a game unless it's good. ;)
Although I can't tell you where I get them now, I'll maybe tell you where later on.
Leon: Yes, it is very scary. 0_o lol
The demo progress is going faster than I thought it would. .. So demo might be out this month! 0_0...........maybe. :D

Update:
Demo progress is back on track. I took two days off from my game earlier to inform people that I am still alive. XD Uhm.....yea...the demo is closing in on completion......I just have a bit of eventing to do, and then I have to perfect the stats, and maybe add a few more skills. There's also about like 10 read throughs before I post it to check on Grammar, Spelling, Hoe fluent the events are, and if it is interesting or not. :D Anyways, so that's basically it. If I can, I'll post a screen or two in a few days....I might not though.....wouldn't want to give everything away eh?
Also, I'm glad to see that everyone likes that boss. ;) There will be more Zylacs like it so dun worry. :D

These are four out of six members of a legendary originazation known as the "Arakian Six". The organizations creation dates back to the time of the appearance of the first Zylacs. The Organization was made to eradicate the new foes. It was only composed of the strongest and most powerful of people. Since the time of the first Six members, each new member had to be the old members son, or daughter. Like a heritage type thing. Anyways, so, long since then, and since the uprising of the new Western King 4 years ago, the "Arakian Six" has become a corrupt and evil organization, doing undergrounds missions for the most pay. Also, since the Originization has been corrupted, the tradition of heritage-to-join has been extinguished, and they now look for the most powerful people. So, here are 4 of the 6.
Name: ???
Age: ???
Sex: Male
Description/Story: ??? is the leader of the group, and at first appearance, is the most mannered and civilized. He keeps cool all the time, mostly because he always has the upper hand.
Name: Bersius
Age: 38
Sex: Male
Description/Story: Bersius is the second strongest of the 6, but is not very smart. He often rushes quickly into battle, with his bare-fists, without thinking things through. Bersius is a member who had no heritage of the past in the group.
Name: Cilvikea
Age: 24
Sex: Female
Description/Story: Cilvikea is the second fastest of the 6, and is very intellegent. She can get out of any situation thrown at her, and knows when she is in a bad or good situation. She often saves the group with her quick thinking, and her decieving ways.
Name: Lankers
Age: 30
Sex: Male
Description/Story: Lankers has a very bad temper, and is known for his rash desisions. He is more of the force in the group. He tends to intimidate alot of people, and is usually the leader when ??? is not around.

Anyways, time for an update. I don't have a screen, but I am nearing the demo completion. Once I get a few more poses, and fix a few things around, I'll be done. The demo will include: A simple yet fun dungeon, A very hard boss, introduction to many characters, and the History on my story. Keep a lookout, because the demo is just over the horizon. :D

I just wanted to grade it:
7/10
to much text compared to how much of the actual game you got to see... I think that you could spice it up by adding some battles to it and more view of the game itself...
the BGM was ok, and the Story text...
otherways. Yeah, I liked it :D

Well, no screen today, but I am still working on da game. Progress is going slowly though due to lack of inspiration, but I will continue to work at it. I'm currently fixing up the first dungeon you go to. It will be pretty basic as all first dungeons are....I'll have maybe one puzzle, and a few obstacles. After the dungeon, I have to make another map, and a few more events, and then I will probably be done. The demo wont be out for a while though because I'm not inspired......anyways, thre's your update.... :|

Here are some traps you have to get past so you can activate the switches in time to open the door.
Pretty simpl. Hit the switch, and you'll have 10 seconds to get the item. If you dont do it in time, you will have to load your file.
Bridge is activated! Ruuuun!! XD
Zylacs are spreading throughout the world. (Kelevor is the world...I changed the name) :D
And the battle with these new Zylacs. They have high defense, and high attack. Low Magic and Speed. Tough though. :D
Well, hope you guys like the screen. This dungeon is almost complete, so the demo is coming up soon....hopefully. :D
Post by: blackskullwarlock on June 19, 2005, 11:58:06 PM

Post by: Linkforce on June 21, 2005, 08:19:46 PM
Well, here is another main character. He is my favorite. :D
Name: Trance Lyel
Age: Looks 24
Sex: Male
Weapon: Guradian Blade, and Blessed Shield
Description/Story: Trance is a very mysterious person, although he is very open. He speaks as though he has been alive for hundreds of years. He knows almost everything there is to know about Kelevor (the world). Currently, he is Rayne's Guardian for life, by the promise of a long since dead friend. While around her, he keeps to himself, but around others, he is very open. He is a different type of Guardian, because he is not always with Rayne...only when she needs him, he is there.
Any questions or comments anyone?

This is a screen of the quiet village Temeri. It is the last place you go to in my demo, so this means that it's almost done. and it is. After I finish this village, I will release a demo. So keep watch. :D Anyways, enjoy the screen! ;)

Anyways, guys I have a question. I realized that I don't like the big sword on my main characters back, and It would take alot of work to remove all the swords from all the poses. So I made this remake of Skylar. I need an opinion on whether he looks too much likie Cloud. If so, can someone maybe fix it around or make it look dirfferent? Thanks for reading. :)

I don't know
No-Sleeve Shirt?

Well you fit 2/3rds of the bill, but I'd redesign him just to be safe.
And I agree with you fully zerokirby. Think about how many other characters have spiky hair (and not just RPG's)
Crono of Chrono Trigger
Cloud of FF7 (of course)
Goku of something I'd rather not mention for my life
SONIC!?!?!? (I have no clue where that came from)
I'd list more if I had more lore.

Update: Well, if I fix all the bugs in my game, and finish eventing and mapping the last Village, the demo SHOULD be out by next week. It's not a gaurantee (sp?) but I will work hard at it. Also, I've changed Skylars look. He is no longer a "Cloud wannabe". He doesn't even use a sword. In fact, he has two attacks, one which is the standard 'Lightning bolt shot". And then you can use different ammo, and he will use a second shot. Anyways, here are the screens.
This is a house in Temeri. Just a plain citizens house.........lol.
This is Skylars attack with "Normal Ammo". Not his standard attack, just the attack with normal ammo.
And, my favorite, "Shotgun Ammo"!! XD Well, enjoy! :D

Make a "Shotgun Ammo" item.
When you equip shotgun and attack it checks for "Shotgun Ammo".
If there is one it takes one away and he attacks.
If there is none it says "Out of ammo" and he transmutes his gun into a blade and attacks.

Update: I now realize that I will need more time then previously scheduled to get this demo out. It usually doesn't take me this long, but I have high expectations, so I need to fix EVERYTHING perfectly. :D I can't say now how long it will take, but I can give an estimate of about 1-2 weeks. Hopefully, I will have all I need to get this much anticipated demo out. I don't want to dissapoint my fans! ;) Anyways, here are some screens from the new system. You can guess which character pertains to which choice. Enjoy! :D

No you didn't. You said it's similar to the ATE system in FF9. That's not an explanation. And I haven't played FF9, so that's why I asked for an explanation. And I was joking about the RTP. Power to you if you like to use it, but IMO, RTP looks like crap, and that's why I don't use it.
Post by: Linkforce on July 06, 2005, 11:39:34 PM
And for the RTP, I don't use it at all really. Just that one house I used it for...but meh, I'm keeping it that way. ;)
System: Ok, this is a good additional system, because it focuses alot on story, more than a system for weapons and such. It allows the player to see what else is going besides where the Hero is right then and there. Although in the story, the Herop doesn't know what else is going on, the player does. Later on you will be able to even control characters that are doing something at the same time as the Hero. That's basically it, but it's good for character development I think. :D
Comments are appreciated. :D

First off...Good job. I like...MOST of the screens. One screen in the town the bridge looked sort of...too close to the ground. How are the enemies poping up? Random or do they just load somewhere then wonder around and attack you? I may have a couple Ideas if they do wander around and chase you down.
Post by: Linkforce on July 09, 2005, 02:14:21 AM
And yes, the monsters are there, on the map, and they come at you in many different ways. I'd love to hear some ideas you have too. :D Also, I'll check that bridge too.
Post by: Linkforce on July 09, 2005, 05:01:13 AM
Name: Undecided, so for now I'll refer to him as ???
Age: 21
Sex: Male
Weapon: Bow and Arrow
Tactics: Fire magic is his specialty, and he is very quick with his bow. Has great knowledge of the land.
Description/Story: ??? is a hired Guard atc the Eastern Castle. The East is mainly composed of Oriental people, and outcasts, so ??? sometimes feels misplaced. He doesn't know how he got there, but he has a mother and father who would never tell him where or when he was found. But ??? will always have the question burning in the back of his mind.
Hope you guys like it! :D

Also in mazes you should like make false walls and stuff...you know...stuff that you can walk under. But when you see it you cant tell that its a false wall...it would look real like.
EDIT: I cant wait till I buy my new PC...Imma install one of the RPG Makers and really get to work. :D

READ THIS BEFORE YOU PLAY!
1. When you get to the point where you only have Rayne and Ellesar, I suggest you use Turbo kick with Ellesar, and heal with Rayne whenever someone is damaged. This is so you don't lose and then have to start all over.
2. When Rayne attacks, she might dissapear. Ignore it. I'll fix it. Also, her hair will sometimes turn pink. Along with her costume. This being because I have not finished recoloring it yet.
3. There might be a place where the speed it either too slow or two fast. I'll fix it once I find the prooblem.
4. There might be a few mess ups here and there at the last village. I'll fix those too.
5. The beggining is alot of reading, but bear with it. It pays off.
Otherwise, thats it. If you find any problems, please let me know. But with that said, have funa and enjoy it! :D :D

Overall, it's a good game. The couple of 'systems' in the game are good, especially the OTOS(?) one. There are some glitches I've encountered but they will be fixed, as said above.
The demo is pretty much a huge foggy plains where pretty much is unknow, plot-wise. If you find yourself with a favorite characters, it can only mean that they are good in overall. My personal favorite is Trance. Not because I created him but because of the attitude Link gave him. Haru is unbalanced...which is why he is my least favorite.
The castle's map is huge but very empty in various places. The first village you encounter is probably the best map in the demo. The cave is pretty straight forward and can be a real pain to go tru if you ignore what enemy is weak against what.
Equipements are not very frequent since there isn't an 'official' worth-visiting shop because it's still very early. I hate items that heal a percentage of your life instead of a fixed amount.

Story: 2/10
There's a story? I don't recall seeing anything about the plot of the game. You start off totally unaware about anything in the game. The intro doesn't explain the game, and it hardly makes sense. You read a couple books about stuff, but there's no base plot explained.
Gameplay: 4/10
Alright, first you're a guy on a flying ship and you need to jump down to somewhere. Where? Why? What's the point? You jump down, and now you're a princess? You walk around, talk to people, read books, and then leave. But wait, now you're not the princess, you're that dude again. You fight, and then now you're the princess again? You fight, and now you're the dude again. WAY too much stuff at once man, way too much.
Maps: 4/10
The maps in the beginning are pretty bad. They're way to big and have hardly anything in them. They're rather ugly in my opinion. They're a little better when you get to Temeri, and that's why you got a 4.
Graphics: 5/10
The charsets are rather ugly in my opinion. I just don't like them. Except for the guy with blue hair (forgot his name) that blackskullwarlock made. The battle charsets are good though.
Difficulty: 4/10
Ok, it's pretty much really boring and then there's a few easy battles, but then you get to the cave. WHOA, now the difficulty just raised about 5 levels! What the heck?! You need to balance the difficulty in the game and have a steady flow for it.
Overall: 4/10
In my honest opinion, I didn't really like this game. It was really boring, and then got hard at the cave. I felt like I was walking around for nothing, because I have no idea what the plot is. It was way too crowded in the beginning with the switching, mainly because the scenes were way too short with the characters and then it switches to another. There was really no introduction of who the characters were, except for the princess, and a tiny bit of Skylar. The maps obviously did not please me. This game could use A LOT of work, in my opinion, but hey, it looks like other people like it the way it is, so don't go changing stuff for one person. That's my opinion of the game, and I was completely honest with everything.

Story: -
I will not rate the story, because as this is just a demo, I don't think there's enough story to be able to tell about the game.
Gameplay: 6/10
Your characters are nice, from what I can see. But I have to agree, that everything skips between characters way too fast. I dunno how you could solve the problem, but it needs just a little work.
Maps: 7/10
Your maps are good in my opinion. Others may disagree, but I like them. Clear and not too crowded, yet versatile and detailed. Shweet.
Graphics: 5/10
Your charsets were a little ugly, but the new ones were good. The battlechars were also good. Once you've finished altering them, it'll look good.
Difficulty: 6/10
- I couldn't find the drop zone originally.
- The first few battles are strange. Skylar and Stark can only hit for around 20 damage, whereas Haru hits for 180 damage twice. What the hell?
- Yeah, the cave battles are hard as hell. I died straight away. You might wanna put less spikes or a longer time limit for that puzzle thing.
Overall: 6/10
While I may have given low scores, I like this game overall. To be honest now, I dunno what else to say, except what I already have. Keep it up! ;)
Post by: Linkforce on July 18, 2005, 07:14:09 AM
Well, to all that played it, I hope you liked it. I will be changing the beggining so that it doesn't switch between characters so fast. I'll post more about this once I get some things done. :D

Update: Well, I took into consideration everyones comments and ideas, and have put them all to work in creating a new beggining to the game. It wont be switching back and forth through characters, and things have been a bit watered down. But not for the worse. Some of the graphics will be remade, while others will stay. Some events have either been trashed, or edited. But I've added alot of new stuff. I'll post a few screens once things get going more. :D

Maps: As I said before, some previous maps have been dumped or remade. I also made some more maps. They are still in the making. I already showed the Snow Forest, so here's a Mountain Village, and the Border gate from the Southern Castle leading to the Mainland. Tell me if it needs anything, and what you think of it. :D
Well, this is the currently unamed Mountain Village.
Here is A meadow that leads to a waterfall in the same village.
This is the waterfall that you can go to from the meadow. I will add peaceful music to it to give it a great feeling. :D
And this is the Southern Border. Tell me if the Chipset doesn't match the others in my game please. Thanks.
Characters: Heres a new character in the game. He's another main character.
(No sprite yet. Sorry.)
Name: braz Orblal (Name is lowercase on purpose)
Age: Looks around 25-30
Weapon: Elemental Pinwheels. (Each side has an element to it. When you attack, a list of elements comes up, and you can choose to attack with wichever you want.)
Sex: Male
Description/Bio: braz is Rayne's second and final Guardian. He has a special relation to Trance, although they are not brothers. Although he may seem cold at times, it is only due to his lonely past. He always says whats on his mind, and is not afraid to tell the truth about anything. Although he may seem like a bad choice as a Guardian, he has sworn himself to always bein by Rayne's side. And he does not go anywhere without her.
Game Progress: Things are going pretty well. I'm making maps as you can see. I'm awaiting the new version of Skylar. So as you see him now, thats not how he will look anymore. As well as his personality will change a bit. In a month, I might have a second demo out. Filled with all the new maps and the new beggining. It will be longer than the first, and will actualy begin to unfold my confusing story. lol
Well, that's about it. Hope you guys liked the update. I'll post more as more things get done. Hope you guys like it! :D

This is my newest map still in the making. The forest is called Rowan Forrest. This is where Zephyr makes his first appearance enterin the present time zone. Enjoy! :D
Zephyr first arrives, causing the area around him to catch fire.
One Zephyr arrives, you must control him to find your way out of the forest.

Alkamar and Rayne must pass through Rowan Forest in order to reach Synka. When there, she must get a boat and travel to the World Alliance.
Back with Trance, Skylar and Harus side, Trance has been seperated from the two, and has made it to Ridil, the snow village which is under attack by an unknown virus. The virus has possible leads to the Zylacs.
Major kudos to Insane for the sick B-chara!

The battle screen could be better tho. Not in term of graphic but how you took the screen shot. Trance looks a bit fused with the monster if you don't look closely.
The second one is a bit plain, probably because it's just a pass of a sort but since it's a bit like a cutscene, it's good enough.
Overall: Nice work, as always.

Update: Well, to tell you the truth, I've been working a bit lazy like lately. I've been mapping, but pretty slowly. But now I'm going to start picking up the pace, and once I get all the maps i need done, I'll start eventing. The maps I need are about half way done. I'll have a set date as when the second demo will be out by next week. Anyways here's a screen to end the update! ^^ Enjoy! :D
A stop on the way to Rowan Forest.

But my problem is that I can't make it past the serpent cave. There's no place to heal/buy items, and I always die by a certain point.

And maxine, as for the war....hmm....well, it plays a role in the game, but not as big as would in other games. The war only started when thenWestern King died, and was replaced by his younger brother. So, the war kind of leads to the new King. Thats basically the point of it.

Some one who has a good knowledgs of my game and about intros, can you please help? It has to be something very memerable, but pertaining to my game obviously. I appreciate any help. If you have a good solid idea, PM please instead of posting here. Thanks! :D
