Very open system, Drak. If only the plot made sense...

You're having a hard time understanding it? I'll break it down for you a bit I know it can be overwhelming to some.


GOOD VS NEUTRAL VS EVIL         


Good and Evil are threatened by a new force which wants both of them erased.. It's not about killing and being cruel or even helpful..  It's simply about erasing good and evil and starting over.  AsiylA is an ancient force which has summoned Ultramancer a being which represents the order of balance.. It's the line in the yinyang that separates black and white.  It's the force that holds the puzzle of life together..  Without good you have no evil.. Without evil you have no good.  Without both you have oblivion. 

Think of the Never Ending Story.  The world in that movie/book was being threatened by the "Nothing" which is similar to the Ultramancer.
Good and Evil are their existence as a whole is being threatened by a much stronger force.

I understood it before, but it doesn't seem so great a plot to me. Why would someone fight for existence? It would be a flash with no suffering or anything and no one would be conscious of it. (The balance of good and evil thing is also a cliche, with them a matter of opinion, both in concept and application of what is good and what is evil.)

That's the basic core of the story.. You asking the question "WHY" is what players will find out.  There is a lot more to this whole thing but it's yet to be revealed.  When I get further along in the production of the game more storyline and even the good/evil plots will be shown.  This is still under HEAVY development so I can agree that what's been shown so far is not amazing.

The gods are still very powerful and that's why oblivion can't just happen.  They are fighting tooth and nail to stop it from happening.  I can't get into the story anymore without totally spoiling it.  There is a lot you don't know about and hopefully it will be an eye opener when people learn it.

Fantasy and Games don't need to have the physics of law and atheistic beliefs put into them.  Good is peaceful, love, caring, non selfish.   Evil is destruction, hate, non caring and very selfish.  For this is my world.. I created it so my law is what happens in this fantasy world of mine.

Don't take it personally, Dedly is just a... hard critic. I personally find the story to be really good and original.

I wasn't being personal with him.  I understand if things don't fit for some people.  I'm glad you like the story so far, it's not the entire thing.

I never said they needed that. I'm glad that you'll develop the story, which I wasn't thinking about. I didn't understand how far this game was.

Yeah, lots to be done on it.


GLACIER MAGE CHANGE -  Old Ice, Wind, Water  NEW   Ice, Cold, Earth.     If the glacier mage goes against a frozen monster it can use earth magic against it instead.
This earth magic will mainly be shielding and crushing spells.

Water more-so belongs to the Abyssal Patriarch and Wind is the Storm Callers.  There was no class with solid earth/crush damage so this was a good change up.
Also cold and ice are different in the fact.. cold is a temperature and ice is a solid or sharp piece of frozen water.   I may also do this with Heat.


I've also made each class description at the class room short and to the point so you don't have to read through pages of stuff when the basis of the class is all somebody needs to know to choose it.   

EXAMPLES:               THE GLACIER MAGE:
                               Uses the powers of ice, cold and earth to
                               smash or freeze his enemies solid.

                               THE BATTLE MASTER:
                               Uses all melee weapons at great skill,
                               and is a master of special combat arts.



ELEMENTS DONE

SLASHING, CRUSHING, PIERCING, HOLY, COLD, LIGHTNING, HEAT, FIRE, SONIC, LIGHT, ENERGY, ICE,
EARTH, MENTAL, MAGICAL, WIND, WATER, SPIRIT, UNHOLY, POISON, DISEASE, SHADOW, BIO/BODY/BLOOD, TIME

That seems like quite a lot of elements. Mostly I use Blunt, Sharp, Liquid, Gas, Fire, and Electricity. You sure you're not thinking of simplifying?

PHYSICAL: Slashing, Crushing, Piercing
MAGICAL
MENTAL
SPIRITUAL

THEISTIC: Holy / Unholy

PHOTONIC: Light / Shadow

THERMAL: Cold / Heat

BIOLOGICAL: Poison, Disease, Body, Blood

CHRONOLOGICAL

ELEMENTAL: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Energy (Electricity right?)

Couldn't Ice be decomposed into Cold and Physical?

TEST PHASE VIDEO - GOOD CLASSES

[DedlellyDeth]

I thought chi was spelled qi.

[fruckert]

It's also "sole" existence, isn't it?

EDIT: Also, you really like to use Apocalyptica for battle music, don't you?

That video is not official it's more of a blogger to keep myself reminded of certain things.  It's also not just going to go into that plains area it's a test phase lol.  I may or may not use Apocalyptica for AsylA.  I'm not at that stage yet. I need to get the dark classes done on the class room then I can focus on other stuff.  I am going to have a voice acted opening and everything too.  None of this stuff you see is official.  Since this is a large project I personally like to record parts of it so I can get feed back and move on to the next etc.  Thanks for the feedback.  I think it is sole existence.  I'll change it.

That's a good idea...

Anyways, since there isn't that terribly much to comment on, I'll just post the few things I liked:
The showing of the classes that you chose up near the top, that was pretty neat
The trail of characters behind you (I know, stupid thing to like, but I like it)
How when you chose your path, it's chosen, and you can't go back

SCORPION TAMER CHANGE MAY NEED TO REFRESH TO SEE NEW SPRITE      



Scorpion Tamer

The Scorpion Tamer is a wild woman.  She hardly wears armor and is normally seen in ripped up and ragged clothes. She carries a large spear that has a giant scorpion stinger attached to the end of it.  She can also summon her best friends who happens to be giant scorpions.
