I have a really good feeling about this project. And this is a really good feeling I'm talking about. I may even complete it 100% (unlike my several other games of which didn't even reach 1%!). In fact, it's probably the furthest that I've ever got with an RPG Maker XP game.

Plot
Our story is simple. Recently, King Valefore of the small kingdom of Khaliana died at the age of 92. Sadly, he didn't have any living relatives to take up the throne, so an election took place to get a new King. And thus, a man born of noble blood, Gazilith Mars, 38, was chosen. He had three sons; the twin brothers Gomah and Domah Mars, both 9 and Alex Mars, 8. Their mother died when alex was born.

Ten years later, Gomah and Domah have been assigned generals in the Khaliana Royal Army Force and Alex Mars doesn't know what to do. He knows his heart is telling him what to do... yet, he doesn't know what exactly. He just doesn't want to be a soldier like his ancestors were.

However, whilst Alex ponders his career decision, swarms of monsters rise out of the ground on the outskirts of Khaliana... and move intently forward with no stops. Suddenly, three other armies start coming out of the ground from the North, West and East of Khaliana. For these armies... they are the Armies of Hell.

Khaliana soon falls victim to the raid and is captured by the Armies of Hell. Gomah and domah who were guarding outposts on the outskirts of the capital are nowhere to be found. However, young Alex Mars escapes...

The plot will have many twists and turns so it won't all be simple.

Characters
I've tried to make my characters realistic by giving them some of the feelings I have.

ALEX MARS (Main Hero)
18 year old Alex Mars is the hero of the story. He knows he has to save his kingdom, yet he is not very confident and is unsure on whether he has the strength to do so. With a shaky hand, our hero bravely, with a spark of fear, strides forth and attempts to battle the evil forces that occupy his kingdom.

HILDA ROBERTSON
About the same age as Alex, this forest hunter feels something for Alex the moment she sees him. Alex also feels the same way about her, but as many do, they refrain from speaking their feelings out loud. Hilda is brave and fairly more confident than Alex.

CAPTAIN BASIL
Captain Basil accompanies you briefly as you evacuate Khaliana Castle when the monsters show up. He is your guide and he also teaches you combat when you're assaulted by a ghost of hell (whose presence is strong, even in broad daylight).

Those are the only party characters I have created so far. Map progress is much further however.

Game Features
- Classic RMXP Battle System
-HP/MP Bars/Enemy HP Bars; Know JUST how much further you have to go to beat your enemy!
- Features both classic RMXP sprites and sprites from Japanese site Naramura!
-Immerse yourself in an ever twisting and turning story that'll make mazes look simple.
- Over 100 usable items (and by OVER I don't mean 101! Much more okay heh)

More game features may be added as development progresses.

Scripts
- Raziel's Fantastic Actor/Enemy HP/MP Bars.
- More scripts may be added in the future.

That's it for now. Thanks :)

Well the story seems a little bland, but I'll take your word on plots and twist and hope it does evolve into something more in depth. Uh, I'm much better at criticizing maps since my brain can't handle stories show some maps, and maybe a demo. I think it's decent but I'd like to see what characters look like and what not.
 
You are not mistaken with your feeling because i do agree with you that this project will be successful.

This topic is over 2 years old! This post doesn't even offer anything to the topic. Consider this a verbal warning - the next necropost will be an official one. Thanks! ~Dadevster

You can't, this section is only for CONCEPT ( a.k.a. words ) developement, no one is allowed to post screenies here.

Anyways, your story is quite short, but an 18 year old won't give this project much hope
 
chevalier, the OP hasn't been here in 3 months, and the last reply to this thread was over 2 years ago. Unless the OP makes a miraculous comeback I'm going to lock this thread for now. Try to refrain from making big necroposts like that in the future, okay?
