Knights of Cydonia
Current Version: 0.01

I thought this up when I was away with my laptop. I was listening to the Muse song, and it sounded like a final battle theme. I couldn't join in on other projects because I was without internet.

Spoiler: Storyline

10 years ago, an asteroid came within orbit of Earth. People became scared. It would destroy half the planet if it hit.

So scientists designed a pod full of explosives to launch into the asteroid to destroy it.

But they miscalculated its projectory. It went off-course into the largest of the Earth's moons, Cydonia.

The asteroid deteriorated in the atmosphere, and the moon was divided into two parts. A strange plasma gathered between the two parts.

The plasma was the least of the people's worries.

Out of the plasma came an army of knights, stronger than any other in the universe. They came and destroyed all technology. They killed humans only if they were spotted. An never ending number of monsters roamed the caverns and plains.

The moon deteriorated and the plasma remained in the sky......

[Rubymatt]

heh, lol. Gonna be a couple of tracks from their albums in there. I have one in the first demo

 

[gorechild]

Sounds kool. I would defenatly play it. I like the whole house buying and such thing. One question though, can you burn down entire villages?

 

[Rubymatt]

rofl lmao. NOt yet, may do that in the future :P

 

[Zoom]

"The asteroid was large. People became frightened and so this explosive was sent."

I love dialogue like that.

 

[~Atlaswing~]

I see lots of square

 

[Rubymatt]

square? what?

 

[Sapphire]

i think the story sounds okay.
But you should seriously work on your mapping. The black screen should use some kind of background, black's just boring. The town is empty and what's that black hole thing on the ground?
And your KS-screen is just dark and empty. But if you improve your mapping, it could become a quite nice game. I like the features btw

 

[Rubymatt]

I need some help with my mapping when the game gets a more complete effect. I need a tutorial.

The black hole is supposedly a sewer entrance. Neeed a better one if somebody could supply it.

The emptiness is because NPCs are currently being located. Some of them don't like participating in my games :lol:

 

[daihiey]

Heh..this game looks kinda cool i think ill download the demo

 

[Rubymatt]

woo! 2 pages :D

Ahem anyways the next version will be coming soon, complete with a different battle system again!

 

[WeAreSuperhero]

I dislike this because, for one thing, Cydonia is a location on Mars. You've completely misinterpreted what Matt Bellamy was trying to get across. Is the only reason you made this game because you wanted the final boss theme and a game to fit around it?

 

[Rubymatt]

*sigh* I knew one of these would come up.

I did have the idea for the game actually for a long time, just something for it to originate from. I know about Bellamy, hoho, believe me, I'm a big muse fan.

 

[High Mage Vivi]

Yeah Plus It's ONLY a game, Plus I'ts his vision and if the end result is good who are we to argue?

 

[WeAreSuperhero]

Spose so. I'll withold more judgement until a demo arrives, then. Good luck to you, lets hope you can make a good game out of this.

 

[Rubymatt]

Thanks, Fallstel.

Note to admin / mod: If possible, could this be moved to Project Discussion or at least checked over to see if it's good enough to go there?

 

[Rubymatt]

UPDATE:
First page updated.
Demo v0.02 now available on first post!

Read the note at the bottom of Post #1 if you are testing it.

 

[tensuke]

Cool, I like Knights of Cydonia so I'll check up on this one. ^_^

 

[Rubymatt]

woops, an error has been pointed out at one point, so have fixed both of the little bugs now and am re-uploading

The first time the game froze after the kraken battle... now it freezes after you have talked to the mayor and comes down the stairs.
