Fable VX
All is well in the land of Avalon.
Jack of Blades was slain by the almighty Hero.
And the world was at peace.
Until one day, in the city of Bowerstone...
That's about everything. I don't know what else to list here. I may or may not have screenshots soon. There may be a short demo introducing alignment and like two fights. We'll have to see. Be sure to comment.

This game will use the Crissaegrim ABS 2.0.1 by Vlad. It's pretty much the closest thing to Fable's battle system that I can get.
This game will be made in RPG Maker VX. Not XP. I probably should use XP. Hmm.
>_>

Yeah that's all.

One of the greatest things about Fable is beeing able to do just about anything you want. Well I'm trying my best to recreate that system. You cant alk to anyone and choose to kidnap them, kill them, give them money or a gift, and maybe some other things that I can think of. Give a woman some nice gifts (candy, wedding rings) and you'll gain "Heart Points" for that particular person and eventually be able to marry them.
you can also buy your own house where your wife will live. You may or may not be able to have intercourse with your wife and have children. Still working that out.
Another cool thing about Fable is the Light/Dark system, which is here and better than Fable's. Killing or kidnapping somene or stealing from one's home nabs you dark points. If your evil or good, you'll get different reactions from people. Your character will also look slightly different and be able to carry different equipment depending on alignment. There are also SEVEN endings planned depending on how high you are into a certain alignment or if your neutral or whatnot. You can get light points and be a Hero by performing good deeds, helping people, not siding with bad guys, doing quests, all that stuff.
As I write this thread, there are already around 600 items and equipment. I think that speaks for itself.
After the beginning little scene at Bowerstone, you get to create your own character. This has not been worked out at all and so far you basically pick between 6 sprites. If things go well I'll have a script that lets you pick a head, body, hair, etc.
The main quest will only be comprived of around 5 semi long quests. So the main quest here will be very short, completed in maybe 2 hours. But if you take advantage of all the optional quests, dungeons, marrying, alignment, and all that stuff, you'll have a 10 hour game at least.
There will also be demon doors here. Perform a certain deed in front of a demon door and you'll gain access inside where there will be some cool treasure.
You can use your Guild Seal to teleport between various Cullis Gates. the Guild Seal is activated in the menu or you can set it in the ABS for quick teleportation.
combat will be pretty simple, I can only do so much with Vlad's script. =/
The renown system has also been worked out. For every enemy you get a set amount of renown. Completing quests, helping people also nabs you more. More renown helps with courting people and will get great reactions from people. So renown AND alignment affect people's reactions toward you.
I'm trying to map out everything as close as I can to Fable's maps, but it's way harder than it would seem. =S

Moving further along with development. Some more things:
While there are hundreds of NPC's, only a select few have any notable important role.
You: hero or villian, scary or sexy, warrior or mage, your character can be WHATEVER you want your character to be. The only restriction is that you gotta be Male. I'm not taking the time to make it that if your female that you have to court men instead. Too much extra work.
Jack of Blades: Main villian of the original Fable. A mysterious masked figure and is a real jackass. He was killed by the Hero of Fable..........or was he?
Emily: The sister of Fable's Hero. After the battle with Jack of Blades, the Hero disappeared. Emily will be your guide through most of the main quest.
The Guild Master: An old man who gives you advice through the game and assigns you your quests.
Twinblade: The leader of the Bandits.
Balverine King: The largest and toughest Balverine of all. He can even talk. O_O
Lady Grey: Mayor of Bowerstone. A really suspicious woman.

Still really early. I'm trying to piece everything together before I really begin anything.
One day in Bowerstone Lady Grey is found dead in her home. A murderer is not found. You, still a child, decide to investigate. (Childish curiosity?). During you "investigation", you find a strange mask. Without a second thought, you grab it. That night, the mask begins to glow, and you suddenly find yourself in the middle of a lake, at the Heroes Guild. Continues from there.
Yeah, it sucks >_> <_<
