Golden Age

GoldenAgeLogoBackground.png

Evil brews in even the brightest of lights.
But the light of hope is a bright one indeed.
And is is the light that parts the darkness.


Story.png

You play as Kale Sylfaen. You are sent on an errand to the capitol city of Halana to deliver a package to a professor name Dr. Kavon. You begin to do "errands" for him. Exploring caves, traveling the world, you know, simple stuff. Over time you begin to see more and more of a strange trio, who are apparently searching for something. The leader, named Damien, states that he is a reincarnation of a great warrior from the Old Kingdom. He and his apprentice are searching for the remains of their master, Drakath, in hopes to revive him. With the power of Drakath, and his mythical weapon, they could easily rule the world, and you are the only one who can stop them.

Your Party


Arshes.png

Kale Sylfaen
Age: 18
Class: Fighter
A young farmboy with a strange past. Always seems to be overconfident and a little arrogant, but he can be serious when he needs to be. Sometimes needs to have some sense knocked into him by the not-so-soft hand of his sister, Marian. He is growing bored with the little village where he is doomed to live and die in. His relation to the events from over 1,000 years ago are revealed throughout the story, which also reveal things about himself.

Marian.png

Marian Sylfaen
Age: 15
Class: Rogue
Kale's younger but even more mature sister. She always keeps her cool, and seems to be very wise, despite her childish appearance. She follows Kale against his, and their father's will, although she is constantly questioning herself why. She discovers a strong sensitivity to magic which allows her to faintly detect strong enemies.

Colin-1.png

Colin Markson
Age: 18
Class: Hunter
Best friends with Kale from birth. Always cheerful, no matter how bad things get. He is good at deciphering puzzles and riddles. He is probably the only boy who Marian respects. Sent with Kale by his father, Wade, to "watch over him". Develops incredible aim, and eventually uses arrows of special powers

Kaylee.png

Kaylee
Age: 20
Class: Mage
Given up by her parents at birth to a family of mages. She wouldn't accept the last name of her adoptive family, and since she did not know her real family's name, she went with no last name. Follows Kale and his party after her family is killed, but she is saved by Kale. She is always calm, but she get's very serious during battle.


Main Enemies

Damien
Age: Unknown

This game is still in an early development stage, and everything is up for change. Give your feedback, I look forward to reading it.
 
Concept Development isn't a forum for advertisement, dear.  So, you're either going to need to add more information about the game and lose the screenshots, or you're going to need... to, well, add more information, and I'll move it to Project Discussion.  Either way, you'll need more info, particularly in story and characters (what makes them tic, ect.).
 
Okay then.  Don't forget to provide more information though, at least about the characters.  Why are they here?  What is their personality like?  How do they work together.  That sort of thing.
 
The first two town maps are extremely mediocre but that capital city is actually very nicely mapped.  Just add some more detail (flowers, bushes, more trees), and it'll be pretty nice.

Your story is terribly cliche, but whatever.  If you execute nicely (Final Fantasy 1), then it'll still be a good game.

Not much more to comment on.  Good luck!
 
I know, I am working on those, especially the Farm Town right now, the mountain town is not very detailed yet because i'm not quite that far. It was thrown together pretty quickly
 
It's always a young farmer boy, with a dark past! Like xephyr14 said, the story is really cliche, but it can sometimes be pulled off. Your font in your title is ugly,  and even uglier with the yellow stroke. Your maps are a little bare. The problem with the RTP, it has to be cluttered to look good. Good luck with you project though.
 
Why do you just have a prologue? I want to know what actually happens during the game. For all I know the game itself starts off with a giant rectal thermometer eating a plate of spaghetti. :(

Also there's like absolutely nothing outside of those spoilers and that's just ridiculous. I don't wanna have to click a fuckthousand times before I even know what the game is about!

I guess it's because my story right now is very loose, I've got main events and such laid out, but I haven't actually gone through and had it set in stone. My story right now is mostly just a bunch of switches naming main events in the specified chapter.

@006
Screw you I like the font. and you don't even actually farm, you just live in a town of farmers.

Chill dude, if you can't take criticism don't post your project. The font is a bit hard to read, and some people may have difficulties reading it. Who said I don't farm, I live in the country. I mean how is the kid going to save the world, he has no fighting experience, it is as easy as it sounds, if you come up to a challenging foe that is. I'll think stop now as I don't want to start a fight, good luck with you project.
 
well that font isn't used as in-game text, only on the title screen, and gameover screen. And I didn't mean you, I meant your character in the game.
 
Good job dude. Keep up the good work.  :thumb:

Just put in some more detail into your maps, like small bushes, maby more trees, etc...and I think you have a pretty good start to your project.
 
EDIT:
Added new story section  :thumb:

Added new character "Drakath" I left him out at first because I didn't want to give to much away
 
You called the land Asgarnia?

Do you happen to play Runescape? Because that Asgarnia is the name of a country in Runescape. I'd change that if I were you, unless this is a Runescape fan-game. Which I don't think it is.

I knew that was from something! I just couldn't remember it, now I need to find something else...

Not nearly as bad as the other day when I was looking over an old game and my main character's name was Falice, no joke, I thought it sounded cool at the time, but I porbbaly should have thought about it a little longer...

1000 years? why not 648 and 1/4? Or last century or something...

Peace
