RM2K Game - Concepts and Ideas

[Injury]

Hello. I can't use RMXP or VX because this shitty netbook doesn't support the required resolution (don't try to help me, I know there is no way save getting an external monitor and drivers etc etc blah blah)

I'm bored and I want to get your thoughts on this map I've created for the ingame world.

Thanks for the sucky reviews in advance!

Right click and save.

You need RM2K/RTP to open and view the map without running the game. You should all know how to do this.

I like the map, really. Don't own RM2K to play it though.
Yes, it's a bit bare, but it seems to fit the RM2K style, so it doesn't matter.
Nothing else to comment on :smoke:

Thanks bud! I've been getting comments on IRC about the mountains not looking natural enough. I've been updating it accordingly and looking for other things to edit.

OK Part 2 of this thing is the intro...

I'm not a fan of intros taking too long, but I'm equally not a fan of intros telling you nothing at all!

The intro so far:

Spoiler

(screen pans up in a desert scene, some mountains)
"They had found something in the desert....

an ancient relic of some sort."

"Nomads that wandered the island for centuries...

and the greatest discovery of a generation...

all for....what?"

(screen tone transitions back to normal)

A single soldier walks out from the mountains and scans the horizon...

"All clear, sir!" he reports.

A squad of soldiers move out in formation with their commanding officer coming up behind.

They come to attention.

"No messing around! We are a few clicks from the site...Move out!"

"Sir!" said the soldiers as they about-face and march towards the site of the ancient relic.

(fade screen)

(slowly fade back and pan up)

The soldiers and commander walk into the cave where the relic was found.

(fade screen)

(slowly fade back to a scene with a nomad family, father, wife and son)

"So this is where you found the relic?" said the officer.

"Yes sir, we were looking for shelter from a sandstorm and came across this."

"Have you touched it at all? Contamination of desired artifacts is a serious offense..."

"No I didn't. I stay away from these kind of things for a reason."

"Very well! Private Adele (Ad-deh-lay)!"

"Sir!"

"Open it...Let's see if our search is over..."

"Yes, Captain Khardon!"

The soldier turns towards the chest set in a dark chamber. He nervously approaches it and opens it slowly. A shimmer of blinding light emits from the chest, proving it's origins to be unknown.

The soldier nervously stammers "Si--sir, I think this is it!" and backs away...

Captain Khardon moves up to the chest.

"Get rid of them."

The soldier turns to the older man and fells him where he stood.

Another soldier approaches the wife of the felled man, and she yells "Run! Run Ayden! Run!!!"

(fade to white)

(fade back to your home)

You've just woken up from having the same haunting nightmare over and over again, and gotten ready for the day's work.

"Guess I better stop daydreaming and see
what needs to be done around this hell hole."

thanks for any thoughts comments etc.
