Children of Chaos- Demo inside!

[Murcu]

This game is actually called Seeds of Chaos but I saw someone had already taken the title in these forums, so for the sake of preventing confusion, I temporarily relinquish my title.


Anyway, I'll update this regularly, but let me begin by showing the screenshots.

Characters:

Spoiler

Now for some very basic and not complete list of characters:
Arshes: Main character.
Rusell: Main character's best friend; they are in the Toran Army together.
Kire: An old school friend of Arshes, grew up in and is serving in the army of Dunan.
Bruund: A proud overly patriotic Army pal of Kire.
Kilye: Honest President of Toran
Commander Ryste: Commander in charge of Rusell and Arshes' outfit, subtle love interest of Kilye.
King Dunan: King of Dunan, honest, do-gooder, trustworthy.
Kira: Untrustworthy daughter of King Dunan.
Roein: Pseudo-adopted son of King Dunan, very honest and respectable
King Fueton: Arrogant King of Tinto

Story:

Spoiler

Okay, at 18,000 words so far, this stories a lot to try to explain, but I'll do my best:
There are three countries whose (temporary) names are:
Tinto, located in the far west, ruled by a proud and arrogant King.
Toran, located in the East, ruled by a female president and war hero named Kilye.
Dunan, located north of and between the two prior countries. It is ruled by an aging but well respected King.
Between all of these countries is a land called the Deadlands. It is a place that used to hold a great Empire but was mysteriously destroyed and cursed several thousand years ago (the reasons will be revealed later, and can be seen in the demo).

Now, the three countries send their armies out to these Deadlands to investigate a sudden revival happening there. They suddenly hold all kinds of life. Well, the rulers find out that the only thing capable of doing this is something called "The First Rune", which gives the wielder the ability to create life, and therefore create armies. The three rulers make a pact to maintain peace and try to search for the thing together.
Arshes and his gang find the wielder- one thing leads to another and it turns out that Kira has killed her father and ordered Bruund to kill the wielder and take the Rune for himself. Well, one thing leads to another and Arshes gets the Rune and has to save the world from what's called "The Last Rune" that will allow for the reaping of the Seeds of Chaos.
There's more to it, but I feel I've already gone on too long.

The game (so far) uses the AMS script and that's it. Yes, there are quite a few errors in my game right now, but hey- it's only a demo, right?

So, without further adue, I present you with the Seeds of Chaos Demo!

You have left us with nothing to go on at all really. The story seems like it was put together in 3 minutes flat, you need to work on it more. Also you really need to work on your mapping, its soo bare.

I recommend you check out this thread Click Me. The thread will help you sort out your details in a more orderlyand neater fashion.

Okay, Mac, post is edited to make it prettier. But, for your information, I'm quite happy with those maps the way they are. I used only RTP stuff on them, no editing, and considering how limited the Plains tileset is, I think they turned out quite well.

This game sounds kinda cool, Murcu, is this what you are using those sprites for ?(I made one of them, WOOT)

 

[Murcu]

Yep, that's what it's for.

Nice, it sounds great but some how i am confused. it may be because i am a complete retard or maby it is because that you havnt explained it well enough, like what is "last rune", see what i mean, im going to play your game in a second, i just have to do somthing in my own game.

Ok, just played your game. It crashed when I went into the cave on the sandy beach part. Said "how the bells creepy" could not be found. Might want to fix that.

Seems good, I think you did a good job with the maps and everything. You need a better titlescreen. And in the beginning, maybe some coreography instead of a character standing outside of a tent. I started the game and had no idea of what I was supposed to do.

I like the characters and the idea of a forest that just sprung up over night. As was said before, I have no idea why I'm looking for a rune. It seems something you should elaborate on.

The battles on the way to the cave are kinda hard. With no healing ability, it seems like the player would die pretty soon...

On the third screen from your main camp, theres a guy that you can walk through, im pretty sure that shouldn't happen.

Also, you need some more switches, like when you first have to fall into formation with your commander, you can talk to him again and again and he will keep saying "fall into formation" and then give his speech. So far so good, wish it didn't crash though... I personally like the maps, I think they were very well done.
