Yin Yang

[SilverBlade]

Hi all, I present to you my game...:


                                       -Yin Yang-
                                 -Thread of Memories-  

==========
Story
==========

A man wakes up in a forest, next to a calm river. He keeps on mumbling 'Zamerden...Zamerden...' . Suddenly, he woke up, took a look around and figured out that he had no idea where he was or how he got there.
He only rememberd his name(You can choose his name).

After getting out of the forest, he asks around in a village what Zamerden is. It looks like it's a place far away. The hero is determinate to go to Zamerden, perhaps he might restore his memories in that way...

In his journey, he experience a lot of strange events. Sometimes, he gets deją-vus about certain places or people(that's how he start remembering things). He also hears the complaining of villagers about the king, King Silaan. The hero remembers that he had a twin brother named Silaan...He could be his brother... King Silaan looks just the same as the hero...except that Silaan has white hair and the hero black hair...

Is this pure coincidence or is this the work of the Yin and Yang spirits?

So, tell me what you think!

[Shadowless1]

sounds good, slightly cliche but whose game isnt, your maps look ok, keep up the good work

[aboutasoandthis]

Will this feature the Ying-Yang twins? XD

If not, I'd change the title to Yin-Yang. This does look good like Shadowless1 said. I like that battle screen for some reason. My only real problem, some of the tiles like those wooden bridges look a little wierd. Keep it up.

[SilverBlade]

First, thank you all for the good comments .

Secondly, they are indeed twins, I didn't realy made it clear in my intro story: I just said they were brothers. But it isn't a secret or anything, so it's not like I'm giving all the big secrets away .
Early in the game he remembers that he had a twin brother .

Third, yes, I also think the wooden bridges are a little bit stupid...I'll work on it.

[aboutasoandthis]

That isn't what I mean...

The Ying Yang twins are rappers who spelled their name wrong on purpose. The real term for the symbol is called "Yin and Yang."
There is no G in the first word. It was just funny.

Still looks good though.

The Ying Yang twins are rappers who spelled their name wrong on purpose. .

Oh lol, my bad. I don't know them ^^.
Anyway, I know that grammatical only Yin-Yang is correct but I think that Ying-Yang...sounds better. I don't know really how to explain. I just think it's nicer.

I fixed the stairs anyway. They look better now, don't they?

[aboutasoandthis]

Much better.

[SilverBlade]

There, everybody said it should be Yin Yang, so there! I made it yin yang(look at the new title screen).

[Linkforce]

Haven't read the story yet, but the screens are nice.  I'll read it when I have time.  ^^'

[Yhtomitsu]

looks good silver blade can wait to play it and i like the screens

[coasterkrazy]

Looks good!

Did you make that bchar? It looks nice and it's not the spritesized template. If you didn't, it's cool anyway. :p

[drenrin2120]

If done right, the story could come out really good. The maps are a good quality too. Keep up the work.

[SilverBlade]

Thank you all again for the good comments, it's a good motivation .
To answer your questions: Yes, I made the battlechar but I did it as a big edit of another battlechar I found. It realy took some time.

The system2 is made by me . But if you don't like it, you still can switch it with another one in the game(which I didn't make).

About the demo...I don't know when I'll release one yet. I have written the story already, but I don't know where the first demo ends.
Anyway, I'm working hard on it and I hope to make a demo as soon as possible.

[SilverBlade]

I'm working really hard and the gamemaking is going good. I'm now making the 'Mapmaker' who gives him a map of (a piece of) the world. In the game, you can open the map whenever you want.
The map is pretty simple and not complete, I didn't want to give away to much!
Tell me wat you think.

[Shadowless1]

it would look a bit nicer if the black lines blended in with the scroll colour to make it look older
