Solar Sanctum


"The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding."

-Albert Einstein

Background Story

In the beginning of time, there existed four elementals. They were the source of all creation. Immortals, sent down from the heavens to keep watchful eye upon the world and it's inhabitants.They were Eris, Goddess of Fire, Nayru, Goddess of Ice,Elendra, Goddess of Earth, and  Celestius, Goddess of  Water.

Together, they brought peace and hope to the people of Atreon, and formed what is now known as the "Heart of Gaia". The Heart of Gaia is unknown to any mortal. Some believe it is simply a spiritual rumination that  resides  in all living things. Others believe it to be a physical entity, which possesses great power. Though many theories exist, each bare the same essential core...The Heart of Gaia is a power so great, no mortal could ever control it without causing the world to suffer dire consequences.

The goddesses have protected this power for centuries, fighting off anyone who tried to
attain it, for if it were to fall into the wrong hands, the world would surely be doomed...

I can't wait to play your game, so far from the screenshots the game looks cool and sweet first post

 

[Magicant]

After seeing your recruitment section I have to wonder- What is your part in all of this? Are you JUST the writer? My opinion; if your only real function in this project is writing you may as well just give your idea to someone else. As a project leader you should really be in charge of the story, mapping and events on your own. Otherwise you’re not bringing as much to the table as a scripter, a spriter or musician. (imo)

Recruitment section aside the screenshots look ok. The mapping is ok in most places yet I see various errors here and there, like random shadows on the side of houses, I can’t really tell with that house sitting above the beach but there are some weird looking outlines outside the railings too. Pretty sure I’ve seen the title and world map elsewhere before so I’m not gonna comment on those.

The battle system appears to be pretty cool. Though I think the name “Archer Assassinâ€

Thank you for your input Magicant. This is my first project thread and I will definantly take what you said into consideration. As far as the enimies and stuff goes though, i have a long ways to go. I know that. In the meantime though, I just threw in random names.lol. I kinda tried to make the story kinda cliche too, because it unravels throughtout the game, and turns into a great story. I want the player to find that out though, instead of saying everything right in the beginning, you know? Once again though, thanks for your input. It really helped.  :thumb:

P.S: Your right. The world map and title screen are not mine.
The title screen is by Moghunter, and the map is from Alestian Story.
I'm adding that now to the credits.

 

[guitarshredderj]

Can one of the mods please lock this.

To the people of RMXP.org: I'm locking this because I got in touch with some old friends, and I now have a complete team, which means I can make a better game. Instead of throwing them in on this one, we're starting fresh.
I'm sorry i'm locking this where it hasn't been open for that long, but, trust me, our game is gonna be awsome and well worth it.

~Thankyou

 

[Luminier]

We don't lock threads on request. Just stop posting and let it slip down to the depths of the forum.

How about giving me credit for the sprites I made that you are using?

How about you suck a dick?

He hasn't released a game in full, you don't know if he credits you or not.
