Story

The world is changing...

Our hero lives in a small farm outside a small village. The farm is his life, where he helps his father out with all that it is to run a farm. His childhood friend, Lana, lives in the village. One day she tells him that she has been feeling strange the last couple of months. She has beginning to learn things they both believed was impossible...

Lana will not trust onyone but our hero with these new abilities, because they make her feel like an outcast, a freak of nature. Saden she explains how she feels and our hero tries his best at comforting her.

Magic and witchcraft was something they thought belonged in fairytales... but if magic and witchcraft truly excist, then maybe other things from the fairytales do to. That is why they decide to go on a journey and search for Caerlon, a legendary city mentioned in the tales, to get some answers and to help Tana feel better about herself.

But it is just not Lana who experience changes, the whole world does. Slowly it grows darker and more dangerous...

Perhaps there is a meaning to Lanas changes?



Characters

Name: \n[001] (Enter Hero Name)

Description: Works on a farm alongside his father. He is a positive young man who likes to help people. Fighting and weaponry is not something he likes very much, but he is very adventureus, and with adventure often comes fighting.

Name: Lana
Age: Late teens - Early twenties
Description: Is about to discover a whole new side in herself. She does not like unjustice and also likes helping people, and even animals. Although she is not the main character, she is the center in this story.

(As this story progress, I think I can smell a little love story bubbling up the the surface...)

Of course there will be more characters in the game, both playable and not, but I have not come to that point in the story yet.


"Features"

Semi-dynamic mapping (picking mushrooms, snooping in bookshelves, hunting rabbit etc.)

DBS (simple because I like it! Anyway, the game is not focused in fighting, but in storytelling, for example there will be no Random Encounters, I hate that)

Okay. This game is in the early stages and it will be in swedish, so I don´t think there will be a demo here... I just want som critique and opinions about the project!

Thank you for reading all this...!
 
The story has some original elements that are promising, some good plot twists and such will help the story a lot. I'll keep an eye on this one.
 
Okay first thing...

That is basically THE most generic premise to a game there is. At least you didn't kill the parents of the hero.

I mean farming? Who WASN'T a farmer at the start of the RPGs these days?

Overall the fairytale thing sounds intresting, but with a premise like that, I fear it may far too predictable.

Peace

Ha-ha... No, the parents won´t die. I think the farm-boy start is good (a bit boring perhaps), but don´t worry, it won´t be a "go through some woods, deserts, snow, towns and then beat the bad guy" - game. I want the focus on the characters and thier struggle with the world, who is turning more evil, as well as struggles within themselves. Hm... ah, well.
 
The idea of fantasy, going on an adventure to find answers and stuff and a quiet farming village at the start kinda remind me of the Wizard of Oz.

I guess I´m a bit retarded, but I never read/saw Wizard of Oz... but as Durastik pionted out; the start (and perhaps the story) reminds of a lot of RPG-adventures... It´s my first project, so I´m sticking with a story I can handle.

Updated with some more screenshots (thumbnails). It´s the nearby mountains where strange creatures begin to appears...!
