[DEMO]Monstructs

DEMO CAN BE FOUND IN DOWNLOADS SECTION


The Concept


I'm making a game where you create your own monsters and battle them against other creators (or Makers, as they're called). This is a remake of a failed project that I intend to finish it this time. I know this isn't a pokemon game but I figured folks wolks would be interested anyway

The Story


You play the role of Aron/Eryn (more this in Cast), a young orphan living in a cabin in the forest with your grandfather Oron, a world-class Maker.

While you're away at the Fusion House creating your first Monstruct, your grandfather Oron is approached by three shady characters (2 men and 1 woman)named Johl, Cirt and Vayn. He welcomes them into his and, after a light lunch, asks how he can help them. The leader, Vayn asks if Oron would be willing to share his Maker Formula with them and even offers to pay him handsomely. Oron refuses. As you return home with your new friend, you find him being threatened by the group. You ask your grandpa what's happening; he tells you to run. A battle ensues as Oron keeps them busy while you escape. You run away as an explosion booms behind you blowing you into a tree. You lose consciousness.

Later, a young girl/boy finds you and takes you home. You wake up in a room you don't recognize and find out that you've been brought back to the Fusion House you just came from ealier. The owner says his niece/nephew, Flix found you in the forest passed out two days ago. You ask if your grandpa is there as well and the owner tells you the news that he was found missing, his house a complete ruin. The owner says you can stay with him and Flix, as you mourn your loss.

Later, you and Flin go to your house to find any clues to your grandpa's whereabouts. There you see a figure cloaked in black staring at the wreckage. As you walk closer you hear whispering.


"I'm sorry, old friend. I wasn't there in time to help you..."

He turns around just as you approach and you question him about Oron. He promises to tell you if you have a Monstruct Match with. After the battle, he speaks with you briefly and he leaves; you and Flin continue on your search. A flash catches your attention. Out of the corner of your eye you see a package with a letter with you name on it under a floor board. You open it and you read it. It asks you to meet your grandfather at Sunshine Island Resort.

You fold the note back and get ready to leave, determined to finish what Oron started, no matter what.

Now you embark on a journey to complete your grandfather's work. You'll face may challenges, fierce beasts and see great things that will change you forever--all while creating Monstructs of your own and avoiding the three people who attacked your grandfather.

But who was that man at Oron's house and what was his relationship with him?

The Setting


In the distant past, a young alchemist was working with a formula for water transmutation, accidently mispronounced something and created a living being. Thus was the first Monstruct born and the world was changed forever.

Now alchemy is the power that shapes the world. Many deadly illnesses are cured with a pill and everyday problems are solved with ease. People even move from place to place in an instant. In the midst of it all are the Makers, men and women gifted with the ability to create Monstructs. Some use them for work, some for companionship, others for glory. But everyone knows that these mysterious creatures are apart of their lives.

Castes/Aspects

Each Monstruct is derived from nine Castes split into three Aspects of creation.

Aspect

Element(The vital power of the natural world)

:biggrin: THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!! :biggrin:
 
I find the story pretty interesting. BUT

Yes, but. You really need help on your mapping. They are plain, symetrical, and boring. The one that bleed my eyes, though, is the last screenshot of the ruins of your house. I mean, what in the world is that? I wouldn't think it was burned down wood if you didn't mention it. Normal players might even decide that it's a graphical error.

But don't worry, you can fix this. I suggest you try looking at some of willowsidhe's mapping tutorials. And practice mapping and often post at the Mapping Improvement Thread.

Hows this for your map of where he is lieing down, i don't want to intrude on your topic, but maybe this can give you an idea of what you can do with the forest tiles. I made this one within a few minutes just now.

 

Sir

Here it is, after i did that other map, i decided to see what else i could do, and this is well.. a house lol, the first floor anyhow.


 

Sir

Member

Haha yeah, i've just finished a beach map to.. after i did that first map, i just felt like mapping more lol
 
I figured folks would be more interested if i posted some more on one of the more interesting elements of gameplay: Battle Tiles.

Think of them as kind of like yugioh/ or bakugan cards. they give certain benefits or disadvantages based on which one you play.
they're broken up into three groups:

Domain
These basically provide a staging ground for your team to attack from. Here are examples of what they look like.

Action
You use them to sometimes augemt your Team or hurt an opponent's. More Examples of these are:

WellspringofLifeBT.png


Trigger
Depending on certain conditions these can have a game changing effect on the Match. (Examples coming soon)

hope this answers any questions you might have
