Storyline
The times are dark.  Food is scarce.  Ever since the tyrant Emperor Dolor seized the land, Regnum has beed living in poverty.  The people are poor, yet Dolor still extracts heavy taxes.  The fiend does not even care for the people, just the trickle of prosperity he forces from them.  Every week, or that about, he sends collectors to every single town, village, and city, however small, to seize his riches, our riches.  These collectors, they are the most crude and wicked of men.  They take more than is required and keep the excess for themselves.  They terrorize the women and children, laughing with their accursed cackles.

On one such visit, an elderly woman had the courage to stand up to the collector.  In turn, the collector harrassed the woman.  Angered, a young man from the village took a fist to the devil.  He got him good, yes he did.  Unfortunately, the rebel, God bless his soul, was caught by the tax collector and was beaten to death with the man's bare hands.

Oh, it was a mournful day for the village of Sprevi.  All the people lamented for the loss of the boy's life.  He had many sad friends, he did, and one of his closests, Valeo and his brother Aquilus, vowed to avenge him.  They demanded revenge upon the tax collector and Dolor.

Aside from a slightly cliche story, it actually looks pretty good.  Looking forward to playing it.

The only thing cliche about this story is the avenge part.

It's not a slighly cliche story it has one part that is cliche.



Anywho, some of the screens don't load but it looks pretty good.

Ah, yes, I know, I will revise the story.  About the images:  They load for me.  Maybe you just have to wait for them to load?  Anyways, thanks for the comments.

Your mapping is getting better, but there's still a few problems. Things too blocky, the water doesn't look correct, other problems, blah blah. If you need some mapping ideas and examples, refer to the Screenshot Central thread. There's a lot of good maps in there.

What do you mean by "the water doesn't look correct?"

[Bluhman]

The water, in a few screens, looks like... Well... Flat squares of water on the ground. There should be a proper chip that should make the water look more like a river.

[crossfire]

I do not think there is. Here, you can check it out.

[Black Massacre]

Wella!

Say what?

[I Have a Sandwich]

Uhhh... No. There is no trasition chip for water to grass. That dark water would make it look the same, just... darker.

[crossfire]

Yes, that's what I thought.

[I Have a Sandwich]

Well, its a neccessity if you want to have water with land.

[crossfire]

Well, um, can you edit the chipset for me or something?
