A demonic eye on a boy's right hand. That can see whatever it is possible to see. However... the cost is his control of his life.

Spoiler: The Story

A long time ago... There was a boy that walked inside a forbidden cavern. In this cavern a demon was sealed. And upon entering the cavern the boy released the demon inside. And as thanks he put his blessing on this boy. However it was more a curse than a blessing...

A demonic eye on his right hand that allowed him to see whatever he wanted to see. The future, the past, someone else's thoughts... the options where unlimited.

But... the cost of this was the control of his own life. Each night the demonic eye on his right hand will spread onto his body taking control of it. And even when it's daylight. The eye will devour his soul each time he uses the eye.

It is a matter of time before the eye will take control of him... forever.

Now the boy travels through land searching the demon he once released. In order to free himself from the curse that the demon laid upon him.

And I am sorry for the overuse by images... but I really like to use Photoshop X'D. And images are nice ^^;;. Anyways this is my project. o.o;;

Your story sounds interesting and original (to me at least :P) although giving him the ability to do everything with his demon eye thing does seem like it could drag the story down a bit (what happened to the long hard struggle the hero has to endure, the tough fights and so on?) with this hand of his it seems he can just see people's intentions and kick there ass.

Also, will the player have complete control over those powers? Or is it something that will only be implemented in set pieces throughout the game?

Your mapping skills to be honest don't look very good. They look bland and a little empty, also the shapes of the land can seem a little unnatural and straight (although I can't see the images any bigger than the thumb nails due to being in school)

 

[Naira]

No i am trying to let people only use his power at bosses ^^;;. And whenever a player uses that ability he will loose about 5% of his main hp. o_O;;. I am not letting anyone just have ultimate power or so. o.O;;

And he doesn't want to use the eye. It was just a gift he gained when he didn't want it. You will find out the reason why he went to the cavern later in the game ^^;;

And yea... my mapping suck .__.;; But at least I can show people how it looks like ^^;;

And thanks for the critiscm ^^;;

EDIT: Updated the first post with the main character's picture. All credits goes to my brother for the image except the colouring because that what I did on it xD.

The Demon Eye is a very interesting concept. A more corrupt, ammoral person might abuse it to get their way in the world, for example, seeing the future to know the consequences of their actions in advance, reading a mind to learn how to win someone over to their side.
It's definately a cool gimmick that sets the game apart from most others. A powerful skill like that could make a lot of people want to make the hero their ally, and make others hate him for the very same reason. I'd like to see what the demon is like, too. I get the feeling that this is all a grand game to him, or perhaps he thinks he is doing the right thing? Your choice of words and the description of the powers sounds like he wasn't necessarily doing something to hurt the hero.

It's a cool idea. I like the character art, your grammar needs a little work as does your mapping, but both seem to be functional in getting the point across. If you work at it and practise you'll do fine.

 

[Naira]

Thanks for the compliment ^__^. And I am working on colouring Taza's picture that my brother recently made. He is so good at it.

And I really suck at grammar and I am not english but... who cares? o.o;; As long as I get my point straight its fine I guess.

And I DO really suck at mapping that's why I requested some help in that in the recruitment thread ^^;;

[EDIT] I have now added Taza's Picture. All credits to my brother for her except the colouring. He is really lazy at that x'D. Enjoy the picture ^^;;

 

[Naira]

Sry for double post but...

I have updated the first post with new stuffs. Like a new character have arrived and new screenshots have been posted.

The game is going forward so I thank anyone that have helped it further so far. ^.^

 

[Reives]

Very interesting concept, this has some good potentials.

P.S. I have a character that has the nickname 'Naira'. :D

 

[Sarkilas]

Looks like it's going to look great. It sounds like it has a lot of potential.
The font, in my opinion, could get a bit disturbing sometimes, but maybe that's just me.

The mapping's sweet, but the desert town map has way too much of the same grass. It looks like they're haunting the place or something.

I suppose the story shown here is a bit short for us to get the whole idea of the game, but it seems promising and original.

Keep it going.
