Story Line:

Century's ago, before the uniting of Humans, Dwarfs, Half-Lings and Venefic (Arcana People.) The Prophet Vatis, wanting to create a great expansive world he planned to use arcane to unite other races, hopefully bringing vast knowledge for the Elves to learn upon.

Sucessfully uniting the Elves with the Humans, Dwarfs and Half-Lings, one race he brang where the Venefic, different from the peoples of Asira, with their greyish blue skin, considered demons opon the eyes of the Elves, Vatis was executed, with many of the Venefic, and his name was shunned upon for many decades, the remainders of Venefic moved far east, settling in the


The magics that anchored the portal to the Venefic world was fading, left standing in the Frost Shimmer Mountains. Left as a monument of hate to the 'devil bringer'...
The Arcana Guild, built on the old portal has studied it and are on the verge of creating their own portal, perhaps learning more from the Arcana People.

Word of this had got out and the Council of Asira was outraged by the perceptions of the Mages, warnings from the Council made the Guild discard the studies of the dead portal. The guilds study room where the dead portal was located was locked up.

12 Years pass, the people of leaders of the continent Asira decided that this power held by the Aracana Guild was too great, they sent a messenger with a form demanding that the portal be destroyed, the messenger was given a note magically sealed to give directly to Councillor Foreman.

The message had arrived at the High Council, Foreman took hold of the message and opened it, the form what blank, he turned it around to see a note:
'Foreman.

I see you are concerned about me and my people forming an affiliation with the Venefic, I know in your eyes they are vile and blasphemous to whom you believe in. Yet you, you narrow minded, foolish bastard, why kill people for their apperance? We would be much better of killing people for the size of their brain.

The Venefic have been exiled for over 500 years, living in the harsh climate of the far east, we will learn more of them, your council's attempts of stopping us will not suffice, we are not halting 80 years of blood and sweat for your 'perception'. Maybe if your eyes where closed you would see why we are doing this, maybe if your eyes where blinded you would agree...'


A stinging sensation rang in Foremans eyes and it was dark...

The guild was now hostile they thought of killing them. The Council sent a infantry force to destroy it.

The force reached the building and demanded entry... No reply, they broke the front gate to find the place empty, the portal was open, the mages had achieved their goal and entered the portal. The Council's Force did not know what to do until they found a survivor, found by a small party, carrying the scholar to the group,
they split their force, kept half at the portal and the rest took the scholar to the Council.

You should work on the readability of your story, it was a bit convoluted. However, what I did get from reading all of this is pretty interesting. I like the development of the religions especially and it doesn't seem to be too focused on "Religion is EVIL!" which seems to be a popular theme whenever religion is even brought up.

However, you seem to have a lot of script credits. That makes me concerned because I hope the gameplay isn't a mishmash of a bunch of nifty looking scripts. I also hope that these scripts actually run without lag.

The link you posted doesn't work btw.
 
Ok, the link is up. Thanks for your suggestions. I will redo the storyline, the game is very early. The only real lag in my game is the particle script!
 
Ok have redone some stuff, removed LOTS of scripts, less lag, and thank you person with IP of 205.250.107.96 for your suggestions, I will take them into account.

BTW does anyone know how to break the old 999/99 limit of items/enemys?
 
You could probably use scripting.

The story sounds pretty decent, I love the use of older characters and the more "reclusive" elves, especially their leader dispising halflings. Your sentences seem to run into each other a lot though, making it a little hard to follow sometimes. Other than that I can't see any glaring grammatical errors.
 
Thanks, Im planning to use a auto-updater so everytime the user runs the game it will look for updates, the updates will make the game grow larger and more vast, more quests, expanding stuff. Will revise storyline again...
 
Updated storyline, I would like for someone to assist me with graphics, PM is interested.
Can a mod please change the topic title to just Eclipse?
 
Hopefully the rest of your graphics will be as fancy as the HUD.

If not, you may have a huge conflict of graphical interests.

Cheap RMXP graphics in comparison to that beautiful HUD.

See where I'm going with that? ;)
