Also i added an important Faction/character information for the Characters Encountered so far up to the Story.

Screen shots are coming soon...

Edit: Fixing Underlines and bolding of stuff to make it more readable.

Well took 3 tries, and thats the best i could do.

[RockJohnAxe]

Well i clearly failed miserably lol

[Moosetroop11]

Dude, why didn't you just use photobucket? I'm not sure I can be bothered to click on all of those if I have to endure half a page of flashing adverts practically obscuring the screenshot.

The screens I saw looked functional, if not flashy.

[RockJohnAxe]

Man i waited for Photo bucket for 30 minutes and i wouldnt loaded the Damn bulk uploader. So i gave up and found a free host that worked in 30 seconds, isntead of 30 minutes.

[coreystranick]

I only have one sugestion.
Make the area where you choose better. I don't like the openess of the screen, there doesn't seem to be enough going on for it to be that open.

[RockJohnAxe]

It serves its core purpose, pick ur hero and go. Why do i gotta doll up a useless room?

[coreystranick]

Well, you really don't have to doll it up, I just said it was too open, meybe make it smaller i don't know. But hey its your game.

[Moosetroop11]

You're thinking about it wrong. Each room is as 'important' as the last as far as gameplay is concerned, but as that screen is one of the first things the player will see, it's actually more important that that screen looks great than others. First impressions can be really powerful.

[S. Leon]

Hmm, it's an ambitious concept, which I like, even though your story is what most people would deem "cliché".

I also got the impression as I was reading through it that you didn't think that hard on it, pretty much writing anything that came to your head - which can be good sometimes - but we don't really want to see a first draft of your storyline on your game thread. ESPECIALLY if it's that long.

The screenshots are a tad too bare for my liking too... as people have said before me, you could try adding some variation between room sizes/shapes, and maybe a bit of detail on the ground which can be walked over. Simple things like that will help you a lot.

Sorry if I'm seeming a bit negative towards the whole idea, but being overly nice never helped a soul I'm afraid. Mind you though, as I said before, the "open plan" style of gameplay and progression is very interesting ^^

[RockJohnAxe]

most of the Screen shots look very bare, because the rooms are much larger than you can fully see on the screen at a time. Like the Necro room where u choose left or right, is much larger than it seems in that screen shot.

Ive been trying to find a way to take a more zoomed out picture but havent really had much success. Taking screen shots of the editor all zoomed out defeats alot of the finer details and the the layers dont show properly.

As for the Story:  What ive wrote there was the general story line you follow. Keep in mind this is more of an OPEN RPG concept, so although there is that base story line there is PLENTY AND I MEAN PLENTY of extra stuff todo.

Dont think you are completely stuck to the story line.
