Dragon Twilight

[Xen]

Started creating my own game on rm2k3. It's called Unguided Wisdom. Haven't thought of a storyline yet,though. I'm creating some of my own resources for it at the moment, but progress is slow. I've put 3 of  them into the resource download pages. Actually, I need suggestions on a better name for it. The name 'Unguided Wisdom' is a bit shoddy.

I'm open to suggestions so feel free to submit any...

Might be a good idea to plan out some sort of basis for the game beforehand actually, in my opinion..
otherwise you might end up hitting a dead end with the game or something.

Hard to progress when you don't even know where it's going.. yah know?..

[Xen]

You're right. But, I still have my database to complete and it's WAY far from being done. I have resources to make so I'll probably think of the story while I'm doing them. I have a bit of the story though.

It's about some unearthly force sealed away in the centre of the Earth created by the Gods. Due to a war thousands of years ago, the Gods were defeated and in their dying breath's, they sent their souls into the centre of the Earth so that they would be safe from evil there. The souls of the Gods cannot control their power which can only come to be used by Humans. All humans desire this power, some for good and some for bad, many try to reach it but fail. If someone good were to have this power, they could rid the world of the Evil that troubles it, but, if someone bad were to get their hands on it, it could lead to complete Armaggedon, the destruction of all life.

Well? What do you think?

Sorry, but that story is incredibly cliched.

[Xen]

Hmm? And what do you mean by that?

Cliched means typical, or overused.

For example, it's cliched to make a game that is about a force that everyone wants and can be used for good and evil.

[Xen]

Hmm...

Well, I still am working on it, but, I haven't really seen a game that follows what you said about the force that everyone wants. It doesn't seem typical to me....

How about some examples...

[Xen]

I've made a few changes to my RPG if anyone wants to hear them....

[Darwin]

Sure.. come with em

[Xen]

Well first of all, it's the story and the name, hopefully this should not be cliched like my previous one....

Ok, here goes...

I've changed my RPG's name to 'Dragon Twilight', so it means that my RPG contains lots of stuff on the subject of Dragons(I'm facinated by them).

The story is about a young Dragonslayer called Shiuyen, who, after fighting a dark dragon and facing defeat, is discovered by some townsfolk and taken to their town, Graft.
 While all this is happening, Shiuyen has a strange dream in which a mysterious presence tells him that the world is dying. The presence tells of 7 Dragon Elders, who have all the Wisdom of the Earth (you name it, they know it), but, they also have the power to sustain the world. These dragon elders are in danger at the moment, as the devil is sending armies of unearthly creatures to kill them so he can have the soon-to-be-dead planet for himself to rule.
 Shiuyen asks why he's being told this but the presence fades into the darkness. It tells Shiuyen to go to the city of Unith and speak to Hydratha, one of the Dragon Lineage, to get information on the 7 Dragon Elder's whereabouts. Then, Shiuyen awakens.....

That's all I have at the moment. What do you think?

[Xen]

I have a screenshot! It's my RPG's title screen...

I'm still working on the system graphics for it, but I don't know if it will be changed. Enjoy...

I've come up with a small profile of my main character:

Name: Shiuyen
Age: 19
Title: Dragonslayer
Information: Shiuyen is a Dragonslayer, well known all over the world and admired by all fighters. He has took the lives of over hundreds of Dragons, explaining the fact of them being near extinct. He is said to hate the sight of any dragon, but, why would the job of protecting the 7 sacred Dragon Elders be entrusted to him?

The world is dying? Hm... FFVII already took that for itself, but if you're careful you can customize it to your own ideas so it don't look like an FFVII idea rip. You know what i mean?

[Sephiroth rocks]

That idea was actually used in FF9 as well.

[drenrin2120]

oh, well i never finish 8 OR 9 so... my bad...
