Sacred Lands

Prolouge

On a side of the world that is unreachable by man lies a place that is called the sacred lands. Due to being far from the corruption of man this land has been in peace for 2000 years, life in this land went on without worry as all worked perfectly. The people who kept the order were called the Maji Council, they saw that no crimes were committed and that life was equal for everyone but everyone knows that all light casts a shadow, even in this part of the world. A Maji had been planning in secret for ways to gain unlimited power, when he stumbled across a method in the Grand Library. Through the use of blood of a Puritan a gateway to other side of the world will open and he will be in the land that doesnâ??????t know of the existence magicks. This Majiâ??????s name was Aiden Blaine and his corrupted mind soon raised an army to storm the Foresca Kingdom, the residence of the last Puritan. Although he was just a child he went through extreme lengths to reach him, his hands were soon stained with the blood of many innocents, even the mother of the child. The child was taken to the cave to start the ritual, tied down and Aiden took out a book and begun chanting. He marked the child on multiple places and continued to chant. It was then that the commotion outside began he could here the shouts from his soldiers and knew that the Maji Council had finally arrived, thereâ??????s no need to worry though he thought, soon I will attain unlimited power. He sped up his chanting ignoring the cries from the child for his mother and the shouts of pain from the soldiers, I should have programmed them stronger was his last thought before there was a explosion from the outside of the door. There were multiple shouts from outside but Aiden ignored them all, he had come upon the last paragraph of ancient text and started shouting so they knew how close he was. There were a few gasps from outside then suddenly it went silent, Aiden read on and neared the end. The body of the child began to grow white as the words took effect. Just as he drew his knife there was a blast at the door and chips of rock showered over the pair, one blast removed the knife from his hand another the book. The danger had been averted and Aiden was caught.

A week later Aiden was beckoned from his prison, his sentence had been decided. As he stood before the council they stated that his sentence had been given because of the inconsideration of his actions and for showing no remorse, he was sentenced to a lifetime sentence in exile. He debated against them but to no avail, he was transported far from the Sacred Lands in a desolate area that was rarely traveled by any creature. The last Puritan was in shock at the death of his mother, as a child he was not able to cope with it. The Maji decided that he should be sent to the normal part of the world there he would be able to escape Aiden's clutches, hopefully...

All the soldiers that had served under Aiden and survived fled the land in search of their master, after this point nothing is heard from Aiden or the last Puritan now living a charade as a human.

But that is not the end of the story...

Nice sprites! I think I've seen this back before the hack, I see you've tweaked the story a little since then though. Sounds good as always.
 
Custom Graphics i think that is why it taking so long to release a demo. Been lazy since the hck to repost the game but since it has grown alot, even with the story line thought it was time to show you what we have done.

Awesome Bro

You left the entire song in your Trailer video and the video cuts short LONG before the actual clip finishes. And the opening scene is quiet then it almost gave me a heart attack the way it just breaks into that loud song. Pretty poor video, but the game itself looks awesome, i must say!
 
I got bored and wanted to make a trailer it is not finished, so the music will keep going but the screen will be black.
I did say it was a WIP first time trying to do anything like that, and the screen capture program i am using sucks but hey you get what u DL for free :D
 
ooh, interesting interesting.
i like the idea.
some of the screenshots remind me of zelda, link to the past
too many years playing that game ':|
anyways good idea
downloading.
 
Been hearing about the Zelda thing alot. Was talking about music in IRC so decided to post up some of th original music for the game too.

@Atnas Yeah that is my first trailer attempt I thought it turn out badly, that and not sure what to put in next :D
 
I've just watched the trailer, the animations look awesome, and the battle at the end is really cool. Looks very fast paced, which I like.
Good choice of song, too.
 
Played the demo and gotta say it was pretty good. Although some of the dialogues could use some work. And I think that the latter part (after he arrived in the other world) was a bit lacking in depth. Too fast paced that it seemed amatuer. You need to add a bit of emotion into the cutscenes. It was kinda weird why he just wanted to get out of the house and leave on his own.
