[size=8pt]"So Long As You Believe."[/size]

"Magnia" is the ancient power source of the universe. "Sahan Dolma" is a world maintained by "Magnia Orbs,"  which is driven by Magnia. The people of Sahan Dolma enjoy their lives, living in cities shielded by barriers that keep them safe from the monsters of their world.

When the Pheioran Empire began to expand their empire, war rages between the continents. With Pheiorus' vast supply of Magnia Orbs they quickly took the upper hand in the war, conquering most of the planet.

With little hop of survival, a small organization formed in search for freedom called the Order of the World. When young prince of Pheiorus, Nolan Serrano, gets captured by the order of the world he is force to fight against his own country. However, one can't help but believe that Nolan see things differently.
The desire to be.
The desire to achieve.
So long as you believe.

Spoiler: Saving the suffering world.

One special trait that makes Pheiorus so powerful is their vast supply of Magnia Orbs. With this power at their disposal, Pheiorus had very little trouble conquering most of Sahan Dolma. To further increase their power, Pheiorus began to use the natural life source of the people to make more magnia orbs.

While on a mission to enforce Pheiorus' rule on the town of Anion, Nolan ends up getting capture by the Order of the World. After being expose to Pheiorus' true nature after having his mind warped by the Pheioran Empire, Nolan's feeling toward his country changes as well as his objective in life. His new mission is to help the Order of the World put an end to the Pheioran rule. However, fighting against his own family isn't going to be a walk in the park.

Destiny Calls Release Date: ?????
Destiny Calls Demo Release Date: ?????

Now that I finally finished highschool I have this summer all to myself. I have much more time now and I plan to use it well. As you can see, it's already been less than a month since I finished HS and I have some screens to put. I've been wanted to put up screens for a long time.

The mapping isn't final. I might make changes to it but as of right now this is what I'm displaying. I've improved on my mapping skills alot and I still trying to improve. Also, while I'm doing some mapping myself I'm searching for anyone else interesting in joining a mapping team so that I can speed up the process a little. The LONG story line alone is more than enough stress already.

But for now, just enjoy the screens. More will soon come if I feel like displaying more or if anyone wants me to display more. However, I will display much more screens on the DC website (destinycalls.official.wordpress.com) than on the forums so be sure to check that site every now and then for screens and updates that probably won't make it to the forums.​

Okay as it is this isn't that bad but there's lots of lacking information which would help me understand it better. You're creating this in an alternate universe so I think you should set aside a section to explain what the differences are culturally, politically and geographically.

I don't know if it's based on earth and uses locations from there or if it's a whole different world altogether. You should explain more about Steel Hearts because I was under the impression they were like Gundam until you put up details on Justin so it could just be in human form or a cyborg ? You've put a bit of backstory but it gets confusing for me but I think that's because of the sloppy grammar, What difference does the future having mk.2 hearts make? Wouldn't they have received an upgrade in the 10 years since between when they were a concept up until mass production (I'm thinking like iRobot)? How do people give them orders, Gundam style or telling them what to do beside them? What are Angelic and Demonic energy? Are they literal or just names for different energy sources?

Why would a Steel Angel which has been developed to make the world a better place suddenly want to destroy it? Even if it's free from taking orders wouldn't it just fly around discovering it's own purpose? You should elaborate on that as it is very confusing. What are the scientists making these robots like? Are they good, bad or beyond either, ethical or unethical? Who funded the project and what were their aims for it, or at least what they want the scientists to think their aim is?

How exactly did the Steel Angel travel to the future, that bit is highly confusing, did it have the ability already or was it Fate's? Do the people in the future fight for peace or do people come from the past to do it? Why is Celestine so dangerous? Surely if there are millions of other Angels doing good they can stop the first made probably lowest spec. one from doing anything extreme like destroying the world? Why doesn't Fate use his brain and realise he can just get every over SA (too long to type) to defeat her as they should be all equal? Why did these Steel Angel's in the future who are supposed to be good suddenly destroy Kyrie's house? Why is he destroying every one with a band of swordsmen because of it? Isn't that a bit extreme, what if it sneezed and tripped and crushed his house? He can hardly blame it. What is the original purpose of Steel Angel's?

Those are the questions that come to mind reading what you've put up, there's a lot of information missing I'm trying to use my questions to point that out, also you shouldn't be looking to recruit people in the first post for your project, especially when it's only sub par. And trying to get a mapper is proof you haven't done much for this project, mapping is a vital skill in RMXP/VX and realistically if you can't at least try to learn to map when making your own project you're not gonna have the conviction to finish it. Also you can't be hiring testers with nothing to test, you should just work on it and release it to the public, I doubt you're gonna get more detailed feedback than what the general forum will give anyhow. And a Musician or Scripter isn't gonna join a project that barely exists in writing.

Thank you and good night.

ebhz.Ash.4rm, I have to thank you on what you said. But first I want to apologize. When put that post up, I was seriously rushing. It was 4:00 in morning and I was tired as hell.

However, I should thought more about it or probably waiting until the next day. I'm going to update the first post. There's alot to explain. Thanks for helping.

No problem, incidentally I posted at 4 in the morning too.

 

[Ganstaquay5000]

I've updated the first post to make it more attractive.

 

[Cryranos]

Quelos'nira: how is it pronounced? That is really awkward and unless it's a contraction, the glottal stop simply is impossible between the s (alveolar stop) and n (alveolar nasal). In any way, many people can't pronounce/don't know how a glottal stop sounds (or what it is). Try replacing the stop with a vowel: Quelosanira, Quelosenira, Quelosinira, Quelosunira, Quelosynira, and so on with the dipthongs. Is there any meaning behind it, or is it just gibberish?

About Celestine: wouldn't it make sense for Celestine to stay behind trying to slow the progress in relation to the Steel Angels rather than jumping into the future where there are Steel Angels everywhere? Also, what did Ivan do to make Fate and Celestine the most powerful Steel Angels that were never surpassed in 500 years? And wouldn't it also make sense for her to spare the Steel Angel makers if they can make her more powerful?

My biggest complaint is their ages. How can you justify every single pc being a child (if steel angels count)? The party has an average age of 16. Sixteen! I am sixteen. I know no one short of 20 years capable of doing anything proscribed by most RPG plots.

Try to steer less toward younger characters and more toward older characters. Kyrie (which means Lord Have Mercy and sounds a lot like Carrie, a woman's name) would realistically have went away crying to the nearest relative and revenge would have waited. Cenil simply would not have been a pirate in the setting you describe. A nineteen-year-old boy would likely find himself prisoner to pirates rather than among them. A nineteen-year-old in that kind of era would still have enough hormones of the opposite sex to make the pirates use him in... ways. Although, I'm perfectly fine with Matt. In that kind of era, children would often turn to thievery. I'd say boost everyone's ages (not counting the Steel Angels, I think) except for Matt's.

 

[Celestia Whitesword]

I have to agree on the ages. Most of them I would at least up by a year or two.

 

[Ganstaquay5000]

Minor Update... Nothing Serious.

 

[Ganstaquay5000]

Update has been made to the first time. The boring overused RTP characters has been replaced with completely original Characters.

What good is an RPG without characters for you to fall in love with as you play the game?

Destiny Calls offers seven original characters who is each suffering in their own way. Weather's if it's finding their purpose in life, or trying to make out the difference between the right and they wrong you'll find it within these characters. Nolan, Siarra, Rulio, Soren, Tira, Vinavia, and Arturo each plays a major role in the story for different reasons. As you progress through the story, you'll see how hard this cast has is.

In this video you get to see all 7 characters with 3 actual quotes from the game. Credit goes to Erick Tjoe for designing the characters and credit goes to ilolamai from Deviantart.com for drawing some of the pictures. And credit to me for naming them...lol..jk

Also credit to Sicon from the rpg revolution site for design the Destiny Calls Logo that appears in the video. You can check out the video on Youtube. Just follow the link and you'll be on your way.

I watched the video. The pictures and the characters look gorgeous their costumes are really nice as well. I hope you post some screenshots soon or something. I'll be keeping an eye on this topic - looking forward to a demo.

 

[clea]

I agree with Fen above, I'm going to watch this game's progress.

 

[Eidolion]

I'm rather impressed with the look of the characters, very nice I must say, and I'm rather fond of how things seem to be shaping so far.

I'll be watching this game, keep it up, and show some more updates when you can :D

Small update... New NPC characters has been reveal. As each day goes by, more NPC's will be introduced. Keep a eye out for more NPC's in the next few days.

Also, I would appreciated any feedback, comments, or critics. I'm trying to make this the best RPG that I can and would help a lot to now what you guys think about it so far. Be as harsh as you want, if it gets your point across then I'll appreciate it.

 

[OrbitDuke]

Looks good dude. I appreciate the time you put into that nifty video. When can we expect a small demo?

 

[Ganstaquay5000]

You can expect one. Can make promises on when but it's coming real soon. Thanks for feedback.

Looks impressive! Especially the story looks well thought off and the character art looks amazing! I'm curious at how the guardinals work in battle. Do we have to think in terms of FF 8 (non-playable, just one huge attack) or FF 10 (playable like any other character)?

 

[Ganstaquay5000]

After 3 long months, New Screen Shots are finally here for you to view.

 

[GiveMeASpicy]

One of the biggest things that I can tell you is, if this isn't a FF fan-game, change the names of your summons. This is your own game, so make it your own. Your world seems pretty decently developed, along with some of your protagonists (although some do seem a bit cliched at first glance). Your villains however do seem really under developed. Especially General Oero.
