I'll beginn at the start...
Story:
Today people can't imagine...
Old and young humans - generations over generations - nobody knows exactly, what happened these 2000 years ago.
People learned to live with their fate.
Maybe everything would have come totaly different, if the sword would have destroyed the black instead the white angels.
Only a book, that was made with letters and diary entries of the past, gives al little clue of what happened at this time.
This book is called the "Equivilya". Equivilya is a word of the past. It means paine, anger and faire together.
But only a bit more worse...
Parts taken form the Equivilya:
Letter from a soldier to his wife:
"...I don't know exactly, when it started, but as it started, I could'nt be with you. And now we can't be together as well. This makes me very sad. Our baby should be born soon, will it? Please describe it to me in you next letter up to the smallest hair..."
With this letter, the man rought the wife the terrible news, that her husband had fallen. One week later her son was born.
Diary entry from a little girl named Sita, dated on the 07.03.
"Dear diary,
since the black and the white angels are fighting each other, my parents live in fear every day. A few days ago a man was here. He wanted to take my father with him. He would have to fight also, he said. But then he saw my father's broken leg, and he left immediatelly. My mother is happy with this.
Well, I have to go to bed. Mum will be angry if I don't."
Two days later a magic ball of the black angels was thrown on the house. The whole family died in the smoke of the flames.
Letter from a black angel to the "master", a few moments after the white angels disappeared.
"Dear master,
proudly I Have to tell you, that the white angels are defeated. Our leader, the black angel, Satumael, won in the fight against the leader of the white angels, Ismael. He summoned a strong sword, that killed all white angels all over the world in a few seconds."
Believe of the humans:
The most believed story of how the white angels disappeared comes from the letters and diary entries in the Equivilya.
99% of the humanity does not believe, that the sword was summoned by the black angels. This was already acclined by the leader of the black angels. Where the sword came from is still a mystery.
But in every human lies the hope, that the black angels some day will disappear, too. Of course there are some humans who got loyal slaves of the black angels, but this is only a hand full.
The life today:
Towns, Villages and other places haven't improved there technical knowledge muc since the war 2000 years ago, but still some things were found, that make life easier. Every human is able to cast spells, and so called "Lumia-Crystals" give the humans the ability to summon "Creata". The Creata are beasts, that can help in battle and in every-day-situations. The life tody isn't bad, if the humasn do what the black angels want.
The old race of the "Irana" has disappeared since a few years. The Irana were humans, who were able to use white magic. White magic is very dangerous for black angels, so the Irana were probably killed by the black angels.
There is an easy structure of life: The black angels stand over the humans and they are leaded by Satumael.
Such an easy way of living....

you won't believe it, but this isn't rmxp.
it's just rm2k3. of course the textboxes are selfmade, the rm2k3 would never use such textboxes, does he? and even if i would use rmxp, i would have to make these textboxes by my own. the rmxp also don't uses such textboxes.

He probably did this:
Show picture = Text box
Show picture = Face
Msg style: transparent bg
Show Text:
\c[1]Name\c[0]
"Text"

"Text" ..... Is it simple as that? And how are you supposed to type it? In a normal message or what?

Anyway, neat ideas coolplay! This could be a great Rpg! Did you draw the bodies for the faces yourself?

Post by: CoolPlayRPG on March 23, 2005, 12:16:10 PM
Sota is finnish and means war? This is a really a coincidence! I just use "SotA" as a short form for "Sword of the Angels". But if Sota means war, it matches the game also^^

Yes, I did the textboxes like that. It's very easy.
@ Sqoad:
After you did the simple showing of the textbox, you just have to type into a normal message. The normal textbox of the rm2k3 is now disabled (totally transparent) and so the text will appear on the picture that I use as the textbox.

No, I didn't have to leave spaces like this. Just like that:
"Name"
"Text"
@ Moosetroop11:
No, I didn't draw the bodies for the faces by myself. I found them on the internet like this. I just edited them very much. I'm not a very good drawer^^
@ dragoninja:
First I'll make the demo in german. But I will translate it then into english. So it will be both, german and english.
@ all:
I made an english site for my game. It's exactlx like the german one, only in english^^ Only the six screens of the textboxes are still in german on this site, but I'll change that soon.
Here's the link to the site: (http://www.swordoftheangels.net.tc)
Or just use the link in my sig^^

I'm lookinf forward to this. But the screens on your site worry me becuase the dialogue is in dutch or something.... :(
Post by: CoolPlayRPG on March 25, 2005, 08:21:26 PM
Well, swallow..... I found many words fpr this thing. It's also called floyd.... And I can't find the english word for that in any dictionary. But you'll see, what I mean when you have a look on the pictures later in my post. By the way: It's the weapon Jason holds. Maybe you can tell me the real word for that^^
@ AngelFeather:
Thank you! Don't be worried by the screens. They are still in german (not dutch), but I'll soon make some for you in english.
@ all:
Well, here I have 3 screens for you. They show the battle system in his early phase. Of course the texts are german until now, but I will translate it to you^^
This is the first part of the cbs, when an hero is able to choose what he wants to do now.
Translating:
Angriff = Attack
Zauber = Spell
Techniken = Technics
Objekte = Items
Menü 2/3 = Menu 2/3
This is the second menu, or the left menu. Here you can choose to summon the Creata the hero holds. The Creata than fights instead the hero.
Translating:
Kreata rufen = Call Creata
And this is the third menu or the right one. Here you can choose to escape or to change the acting hero against another one. You can only change heros when there are more than 3 in your party!
Translating:
Türmen = Escape
Wechseln = Change
So, what do you think of it until now?

If you are talking about the double-bladed sword.... I just call it a "Butterfly edge" or a "Double-bladed sword"... Just a thought

This sounds awesome, man. your CBS is lookin' fine. Ooh lala.
Eh.. lemme get someone to fix the quote bug.

When do you think the demo will come out, Coolplay?

Yes, yes you should...
But yes, it's medium, I've noticed that too many people are afraid to hurt feelings but I want to be more honest. It's not bad but not as good as it could be.

P.S. Great story.
Post by: Beck Skyler on March 28, 2005, 08:22:43 PM
The reason i like SotA so much is it looks 100% custom. After a while i got tired of seeing ripped rersources. His (or her, i didnt look) resources might not be perfect, but i like them all the same.
Post by: Darkfox on March 28, 2005, 08:25:30 PM
Wait, I just noticed somthing... CoolPlayRPG has a strange sense of fashion for characters like me!

Of course there will be more things costum than only the battle system! The textboxes (I already showed them), the menu and an airship-system like the one in Final Fantasy X and X-2 will be costum as well.
@ GhostClown212:
Thanks, but if you would have read everything, you would have known that I said NOT to look on the mapping, because I used RTP just to demonstrate the textboxes.
@ Darkfox:
It's you personal meaning of SotA to say it's medium. If you think so and that's true, than it's okay. I'll not be angry with only because you said that, but I think if the others say they like it, they don't lie. Why should they? Just to be honest to me and say not that it's bad? I don't think so...
@ X_marks_the_ed:
I explained how I did the textboxes already earlier in this thread. Just have a look at the first page.
@ Beck Skyler:
Thank you! But it's "his" ressources... :D
Well, I did not make everything by myself. I'm not a good drawer, so I just edited some things. And some things are selfmade...
But if I only edit ressources, I try to do it as good as I am able to.
Post by: CoolPlayRPG on April 04, 2005, 02:33:59 PM
The charas will be animated when they summon, but I haven't made that yet...

summon looks nice though
Post by: CoolPlayRPG on April 08, 2005, 06:44:09 PM
And what is it with the girl? After the summon the girl named "Reyka" changes herself with the other girl named "Gina". Like you can change the characters in the battle system of Final Fantasy X.
Post by: CoolPlayRPG on April 17, 2005, 06:48:35 PM
I went on working on the menu the time I can't do something on the CBS. And here there is the first screen. It shows the main menu. Translation after screen^^
Objekte = Items
Abiltys = Abilities
Ausrüstung = Equipment
Gruppe = Party
Statistik = Statistic
Einstellungen = Options
Spiel beenden = Exit game
Zeit = Time
Geld= Money
Aufenthaltsort = Place
The rest doesn't need do be translated^^
What do you think of it?
Post by: Dragonium on April 17, 2005, 06:54:29 PM
I can speak a little German, so I ought to be okay.

[IMG=http://home.arcor.de/cprpg/SotA/SotA-Objektmenu.jpg][/IMG]
It shows the itemmenu and another design of the choosable menu-styles.
translation:
Objekte = Items
Kraut = Herb
Äther = Ether
Maxi-Äther = Top-Ether
Lebensfeder = Phoenix Dawn
Allheilmittel = Healing Potion (for bad status)
Zelt = Tent
Anzahl = Owned
Wirkung = Effect
regeneriert 1000 HP = cures 1000 HP
Post by: CoolPlayRPG on April 30, 2005, 07:33:02 PM
I changed the title of SotA after all. I will have to change it one more time, because the angels are just too bad quality.... But what do you think of the idea of the new title?

Post by: CoolPlayRPG on October 20, 2005, 08:01:16 AM
Haven't been here for such a long time. I'm really sorry.
I guess, you all thought I'm not working any longer on SotA, but that's wrong!
Well... It has been a long time, since I posted the last information about SotA. But after all i'll now post new screens, 'cause SotA really had had some changes since then.
The battle system has got a new look and new fighters, too.
It's totaly different now. But to the new characters, I'll post something another time.
This screen shows the main menu. Here are all important information like the HP and MP located.
Here you can see the item menu. I think there is no need to explain that, right?
If you want to change the characters fighting during battle, you have to use the group menu.
The last screen of the menu for today is the status menu. Here you can look up the abilities like strength or defense. The abilities in from the middle to the bottom of the screen are changeable by the player himself, so you can have you charas good or bad in something you want.
(http://home.arcor.de/cprpg/SotA/Screen-Weltkarte.jpg)
This is the world map. Caution: It's big!!!
This here is the castle's forest.
And this is the mystical town Tesiin.
Post by: CoolPlayRPG on October 20, 2005, 08:03:15 AM
Here you see the city Akkon.
And a pic of the inside of a house.
This is the message box. The main charas and some other charas do have such big faces, like shown on the right.
If you have gotten the airship, you are able to fly to towns and places by choosing them on this map.
To know what place you're going to enter, there is a description before entering the place.
So, this was it for today. Have fun posting your comments^^

I'll try to make a translation of it, so you may not need german for playing the demo^^
@ dragon11137:
What do you mean by making my own graphics? You know, it's very hard to do all the things alone in such a game. But I already have someone for the graphics to draw or edit, so don't worry^^

I haven't posted all charas yet, so here are the last three heros and another time I'll post the enemies and the other charas.
Name: Gina
Age: 16
Weapon: her dog "Myla"
Ability: Dompteur
Gina ran away from her home a few years ago and on her journey alone she met her dog Myla. Now they are best friends. Even if Gina is a bit chaotich she has a secret. She stands in a connection to the black angels, but she doesn't like to talk about it.
Name: Zack
Age: 29
Weapon: Revolver
Ability: Shot
Zack is a very kind and gentle man. He helps everyone in every situation. He avoids fights as good as possible, but anyway he's really good in handling his revolver.

Weapon: Stuff
Ability: Summon, White magic
The youngest member of the group's Arcia. She is an ancestor of the "Iraner", who where as the only human beings able to use white magic. Even if that power has gotten weaker after all the years, Arcia is very strong. Not physical, but mental. She can summon "Creata" who help her in battle.
