Hi @all.

This is my first project i will show here in an english speaking Forum.
As Info I´m German.. so i´m sry for some bad grammatic and english sentence building.

Ok.. The Game is original called  K.KaMon
That means in german "König der Kartenmonster".
Because i´ll release the Game multilingual, you call it in english K.CaMon
That means "King of Card Monsters".

Spoiler: Story

David is 18 Years old, and a Highschool Pupil. After School, he´s training some kinds of combat.
One Afternoon, he saw a girl that was in trouble with some guys. David helped her and struck the guys into escape. But when he truned, the girl was away. Just a package filled with Game Cards lay on the ground.
He took the package. Perhaps he´ll find the girl, and give it back. So he continued his way home.
But after a few steps, the wind´s getting stronger. Just seconds, and it was strong enough to pull David down the street. When he looked around, everything collapsed. Trees, Bridges, Houses... like rubbed out.
David lokked straight on, he´s screaming. A Big Black hole sucked everything in inside. David tried to hold himself on a streetlamp. But the Lamp collapsed like everything around. And just a moment later, everything was dark.

"David wake up"
David opened the eyes. The girl was sitting beside him. "What.. what happend to me?" was David shouting. When he looked around, he knew that this wasn´t his hometown anymore.
He and that girl were sitting on a big Grass-covered plain. just a little lake was tehre. down the hill, behind the trees. "Where.. Where i am?" was David asking.
"My name´s Raiid. And this is Anktera, my homeworld." the girl answered.
"Your Homeworld???" David was shocked. "But how I come here?" He´s asking.
"You took the Cards, so you took also the responsibility for the fate of the world on you."
"What??!!" Davids face was like marmor. "But.. But i wanted to give them back to you..."
"to late." Raiid marked.
"Do you know a way to bring me back to my World again?" David asked.
Raiid walked some steps down the hill. "Come on, if you really want back, you have to follow me." David follows Raid. He don´t know what will happen to him in this World. But at this moment, his journey began.

Spoiler: Gaming

David and Raiid will explore the world. David has to learn the Cardmonster-Battle_System. Their Mission is to stop the Son of the Twighlight, the chaos ruler Marguard, to destroy the world.
The only way to do that, is to battle monsters like in Pokémon and bann their souls to Blank-Cards. That´s the way the player collects more and more cards for his decks. But he is also battling other Card-Collectors. But to defeat Marguard, David has to collect the 4 "Heavensword" Cards. With the help of all 4 Cards, he is able to destroy the dark soul of Marguard, and bring back peace to Anktera.

http://genx.rmxp.de/Pictures/Weltkarte_aufteilung.png[/img]
(L) = Lightkeepers
(S) = Shadowhand
(N) = neutral to both

The Lightkeepers are for peace, fair judgement and a growing, good world. The SHadowhand is the SIde of the Dark Imperator, and Son of the Twighlight Marguard. He Judges over his Lands with a hard hand and a frozen soul. The twighlight is frightened by everyone. And the Twighlights floating through the venes of Marguard.

The only neutral Piece of the World is the Holy Crystal Palace. Inside, the Cardkeepers are watching the situations all over the world. Inside the castle, david´ll only meet Heavensend Cards. No FIre, Earth or others...

The Journey starts in the north of Serxes. Near that piecefully Blue Lake. And the first step to his homeworld is, to walk to the Crystal Palace. But the only way to reach this goal is this large Bridge from Sodri to the Crystal Island. And Sodri is in the Hand of Marguard.

Serxes:
An Evergreen land with little villages and beautiful Forests. The Journey starts in the "North Highs". A Landscape rich of little Hills and the wonderful look from the "Sapphire Lake".

Arxes:
The other half of the old Korex Lands. Arxes has milewide nothing than Gras and hills. If you reach the Eastside, you´ll be on the great white Beaches of Anktera.

Leavvin:
It´s a dark place. Evergreens, where everybody everytime get lost. Some People were talking. They said, that in this part of Anktera, the time has no relation.

Horn-Ark:
Thousand Years ago, Anktera was flooded by the god of water, because the sixt King Stole the virginity of his daughter. Millions of People Escaped the water on the Land, called "the Ark". Because of his Form, the Land is also called, "Horn". That´s the reason because the Land is called Horn-Ark.

Tabareas:
The smallest Part of Arnktera. There, on the Dark Mountains, the Tower of Abbys rises up over everything away. His Lord, Marguard. Whatch your steps. Every Step could be the last in your life.

Sodri:
Water all araound. But wasteland inside. What happened there? Try to find out.

Fakor´s Islands:
3 island, 3 different Types of Land. From Swamp to Mountain. Some Knight told me, that a dark army´s waiting beyond the fogs of the middle land.

Dronia:
The high Plateaus of this Land are the start of every ingeneer and inventor. Every Technic and Material of this World, was invented there.

Eclysia:
The Land is not passable. But if you fly, or walk through the dungeons of dwarfs, you can reach the frozen ruins. These ruins are encircled by the mountains. The temperature at hot days is near -35°C... whowa.. cooooooold...

Crystal palace:
Who is the owner of this Palace? What´s the function of the Judgement Priests? And who build that palace including the island?

The complete passalble map is encircled by mountains. Everything behind them, is Part of the another Side of the world.

Have Fun with this Project Topic

 

[SteelReserve]

:shock: ...Why is Somewhere Over the Rainbow playing?

 

[Esper]

just as BGM...
hadn´t a good idea for Step_01.. It´s the worst part.. so i needed a bad BGM.. but didn´t found.. XD
So i used the worst i had..

 

[Despain]

Those videos are very impressive, man. It looks very fluid, I can't wait to see more of this.

The story seems a little on the week side, but I think gameplay with a system like this could make up for that.

 

[lucien]

If this is really going to work it'll be amazing!
It would have looked even cooler, if you just made a good panorama in the background instead of that grass...
Good luck with that system.
by the way, the song is not so bad.

 

[baniff]

Looking very good so far. I'll come back and comment later when there's more info.

[Skyla Doragono]

Uh, BlueChaos, just because his post isn't the nicest thing in the world, he still has all the requirements for an Early Project thread, thanks.

Also, I'd love to see more of this.  I love card games, obviously.  :x

Edit: Eh, nevermind, I'll let it develop at it's own pace.

 

[iceplosion]

A card play system sounds brilliant, it's hard to do well so I'd like to see it made but can I suggest some pictures be created for the battle background because staring at a green field and Arshes/Aluxes makes me want to kill things.

 

[Esper]

i don´t post pictures, because there´s no ther map existing than the Battlemap. And pictures of the system are senseless, because a battle system must be animated to show his power... And i show the buildup step by step.
I will remake the Startpost if i start mapping and if the system works perfect. Meanwhile i´ll going to update the cideo and textthings when i´ve new infos.

And trust me. I´m able to create a card system, Card images, Complete HUD and Game Designs.. So i´m able to create a very cool Thread Design too.. Just wait until the system´s ready.
This is just a really early Project.

@rest:
I completed the coupling ( fusion ) system with animation.

Oh Yes.. in the second Video, Arsches sin´t visible XD... In the finished System ( or in the next videos ), i´ll make a better Background.. sry for that gras thing ^^

 

[Franz Kefka]

This... looks surprisingly good.
Most card games just make me want to flee in terror, but your presentation just got me... somehow.
I'm really looking forward to it!

 

[Esper]

The next Step Video is online and a link to it is in the pic/Vid Spoiler...  AND ...

sry for the gras.. haven´t made an arena BG yet...
The Video shows the fusion of cards.

Second things is, that i added a Link to the Public Box filled with Cards from the Game to the Startpost. AND, you can take a look at the worldmap of K.CaMon.

 

[ANBUkakashi]

Quite Well Done. Very unique concept, and should be an excellent game when it's completed.

 

[Esper]

completed the Activating and off face set of Cards...
Next Video is coming soon.. but atm i make some fine tuning..

 

[iceplosion]

Wow that world map looks nice....

 

[Esper]

Hey...
I´ve finished the "Hero´s Round Actions"
That means everything the Hero can do inside his Battle Turn.

So i edited the Start post.
The 3 Videos are erased
BUT...
I added the complete Action Movie. It shows all the actions of the Hero. Enjoy it.

 

[Skyla Doragono]

Sweet Jesus, I want this game.  Best of luck with it; it looks fantastic so far.

 

[Esper]

just a quick Info without updates.. i finished:
- the Placeing of cards by the enemy.
- The Turn of Rounds
- Basic HUD ( Show LP points and bars )

 

[Esper]

Picture and Video update

Pictures:
