Sword of the Angels

[CoolPlayRPG]

first of all hi to all of you.

well, i would like to present my game to you, that i'm making with the rm2k3. but first i have to say something that might be important to you.

as you can see in my profile i'm from germany. of course it's crazy to present my game in an english forum, but i want to figure something out. i want to know, if i should translate my project into english, so not only german-speakers can play it.
at the moment all texts on some screenshots will be german. but i will translate it to you, so you can understand it.

then.... let me begin with the presentation!

story:

we are writing the year 2009. 2000 years ago there was a terrible war between the black and the white angels. goal of this war was to specify the humans on earth, as you could do it with the angels (black=evil, white=good). as the leader of the black angels, satumael, and the leader of the white angels, ismael, fought each other, a sword appeared at the horizon. it shone brieghter and brighter so nobody could see anything. after a while the light was gone and the sword, too. but with it all white angels disappeared also from the earth. with this the black angels automatically won the war, even if it wasn't a fair victory. as the consequence of that, the humans have to do what the black angels want - up to today. but is there a chance to let them disappear? or is there no more hope?

so, this was my presentation. hope you liked it. if so, i may translate it into english. the demo of SotA is actually to 99% finished. so it wouldn't take me a long time to finish it^^ and a translation shouldn't be so hard....

!!! if there's something wrong with my english - writing or expression - please don't be shy to tell it me !!!

Cool, if you can keep it together.

First of all, welcome to Charas.

I like the CBS and the story could be good once expanded on.  Although, some people may not like that you are using characters from chrono trigger.  Good luck with your project!  

[DragonBlaze]

Yeah it would be cool if you would make a translated version of this game eventually. If not, I know a fair amount of German, so I may be able to understand it a bit anyway

[CoolPlayRPG]

@ ES2005:

of course i will keep it together! i've sworn that to myself that i will never ever give it up, no matter what comes^^

@ barnsalot:

yes, the story i posted here is very short, i know. but it's not really the real story. it's more a prolog. i want to keep the story a secret, because i want to have some big surprises in the game^^

well, that i'm using ct-charas might not be liked by some people, but i like them very much and they match exactly the imagination i have of them. if someone doesn't like them in my game, he shouldn't play it - so easy.

@DragonBlaze:

yes, your right. it's the same when i'm playing english games^^ but i hope that some people outside of germany like my game, so a translation would be worth all the work...

greetz,
CP

Very nice and impressive CBS you got there, Coolplay.
But I hope you do realize that all those characters are from a famous game called Chrono Trigger?

[AsakuraHao2004]

The Story is really good. I think that is pretty good too. Not to mention, theres quite a few german speakers on this forum so maybe you could give them a beta version and let the tell you if there's any bad translations if you do decide to translate it.

Plus, you shouldn't use those characters. People will think you're unoiginal because they're from CT... maybe you could get someone to make you some look-alike resources of them, if they match the characters so well... Just my opinon.

[ES2005]

Okay. I have seen many a game which is awesome, but gets abandoned for a crappy reason. Can't wait to play it.

[CoolPlayRPG]

thank you all ^^ i'm very happy that you're looking forward to play it. but one thing about the charas: i can't just change them, because i used them in nearly all battle animations. it would now be hard work to redo all that with new charas. so i will keep them. maybe you like them, when you're playing the game^^

and now.... here are the promised screenshots:

Nice screens

The only thing I saw was in that battle system. You only had 3 characters in your party, and yet there was a 'box' for a forth character. Its not that big of a deal, I'm just really picky on stuff like that  

As for using those chars, I don't blame you, they are good chars. Because their ripped from a REALY popular game though, people may downgrade your whole game. If I were you I'd give Chrono Trigger mention in your credits for the games characters.

Hope to play your demo soon  

[Robotam]

A.. Am.. Amazing!

thx.

yes, the 'box' is always there. even if there's only one character in battle. this may not look good, but if you could see how complicated the battle system is, you would understand why i can't do it otherwise.

and about the charas: yes, i will mention them in my credits.

hope to give you a demo soon^^

[White Dwarf]

i would love to play this game but i can only speek english so you will need to translate it for that to happen, the battle sistem looks BRILL, so, yeh, good luck with it and welcome

[GhostClown]

It looks decent, but it would be that much better if the characters were yours.

[grand_PiNpOn]
