Ocean Siren a project me and some friends are working on since October 2005, and we have about 50% of the game done. We release a chapter every month. So far 6 chapters are done, for 6 hours or so of playing time, and chapter 7 is on its way!

Spoiler: Her Tale

HER TALE

Since the waters first splashed upon the land, or so it would seem, a creature of wood and iron, whose origins have been lost to history, has sailed its seas. No one knows who built the ship, but everyone has heard her name: the Ocean Siren. This mysterious traveler of the sea has changed hands many times over the centuries and been used for many different purposes from a trade vessel to a pirate ship and even a warship at one time. Despite its many roles over time, one thing has always remained constant: where major events of history have taken place, she was always there. Always did she manage to intertwine herself in the weave of fate and help to change the future.

This is the tale of the Ocean Siren and the events that she and her crew helped shape. At the command of the self-proclaimed ultimate pirate and womanizer, Nick Narrow, she will once again become caught up in the struggle for the future of Humania.

O.o you actually got all that shit to work together?

Well anyway looks pretty good. Where did that character art work come from? I like the treetop think you got going, but take the canopy out cause it fucks up the look.

Damn you have a hell of a credits list...

 

[Shiro]

Where did that character art work come from?

It comes from http://nwvault.ign.com

The only reason I know is that I'm a huge fan of Neverwinter Nights and I recognized the pictures from the game

O.o you actually got all that shit to work together?

Damn you have a hell of a credits list...

Yeah, all the scripts work together. They have been modified for that purpose, by me (just some changes) and by Jet Kobayashi Zala.

The credits are still far from complete; I´m sure there are things there I forgot the author´s name...

The art is indeed from NWN Vault.

I guess I know you.
A long time ago, in CA, I found a topic about a Duel Minigame by you.
It was my BS for some time, but now I have other.

It is looking sweet. Good Luck!

 

[ryanwh]

Interesting. Most chain games dont get as far as this. So how long is it, lengthwise? And how many more chapters are planned? 12 Im guessing? I dont know if I wantr to dive into this unless it ends on a good breaking point. Also if I complete what you have now, can I use a save from here to play through to the next chapter once its released?

 

[kaitlyn_el_wonderful]

So, is it ready for download? Because this looks so awesome....

 

[Delmaschio]

This look very interesting.
I'm looking foward to it.
Wish you good luck with the development.
Keep up the good work.

1 - So how long is it, lengthwise? And how many more chapters are planned? 12 Im guessing?

2 - Also if I complete what you have now, can I use a save from here to play through to the next chapter once its released?

1 - I guess about 5 hours so far. It really depends on how much you do in each chapter. We have 10 chapters planned, plus a special once the game is completed.

2 - That´s the idea.

So, is it ready for download? Because this looks so awesome....

Yes, you can play it to the end of Chapter 6. We know there are a few bugs, but nothing big. We try to polish it with every chapter released.
Just download it from our Official home page - http://games.net4free.org/oceansiren/

jeez, looks sooo good :D

 

[Alael]

jeez, looks sooo good :D

It is ^_^

I just reorganized the first topic a bit, and added another screenshot.

 

[Draken]

Heh, so you posted here at RMXP>
Tis' a great project and hope it gets done, I'm off to play Chapter 6 now :P

 

[Rubymatt]

Yup. There are very tall trees, and they cast their shadow on the town.
It really makes no sense seeing cities in the plains with tree shadows over them ^_^
