The Epitaph

DEMO!  :crazy:







 



STORY:

            The story is about the Lady of death (or a shinigami) who gathers bad souls and throw

them hell. One day after releasing the souls trapped in world, the lady of death found this thousands of

white souls lying in one place. SHe talked to a child's soul and it says that there are monsters who devour

souls.

Then, the dark souls appeared and starts to devour the souls of innocence living the bad ones behind.  She

tried to battle the numerous monsters to save the good souls but her power is not enough. SO then she

made a barrier for the souls. With all her powers, she made the "soul barrier transport," so that it

automatically transfers the souls to be protected. But with the consequence to loose a lot of her energy

and abilities.  The soul barrier transport can be acessed when you cast a "soul transport seal" which she

had accidentally scattered at every places in the world. (this will be explained further)

      A stronger demon came and said, "Join us in the coming of the armageddon." But the lady of death

declined. The demon said that they are making the step to chaos. Firstly, they have succeeded sealing the

large part of the heaven's portal. Secondly, they must make sure to perish all the good souls so that none

of them will be living again or reincarnated, and so none of them will be on the good God's side. Lastly, they

will try to influence the weak human beings to genocide and then, take over the world. "I'll give you six

months to make up you mind," the demon's last words. The demon left, giving the lady of death the time to

choose to join their force. But instead of thinking of joining them, she thinks of a better way to make things

back to normal. She wants to communicate to the heavens. But as the demon said, they sealed the large

part of the portal to heaven. It seems that after a long time, the demons has gathered their forces and

succeeded in long time plan. Then, In form of a human being, she made a journey in search for answers,

and at the same time, she also took the time to find comrades to fight with her.

In her way, she met this young looking man begging helplessly to kill him. This young man claims that he is

immortal and is sick of the world. In a shock, she thought that the "parable of the immortal man" is a fiction

but then she ends up letting him join her army and through his help, she can gather mortals as well for the

upcoming Armageddon. In another way, the journey begins to the unfold thousands of questions including

the mystery of the immortal man and how they will regain everything to normal.

The lady of death

      She's like the valkyrie here but the difference is she is just a soul taker of bad souls. She just turns up as a soul-warrior gatherer.

Lawrence

        The immortal soul seeking for a death lady to kill him. He had lived for 400 years, learned a lot of skills and met a lot of people. Solve his mystery of existence.

Angel

          An angel, trapped in this world after the heaven portal was closed. She heals. She's really a beauty.

Allocen


          A devil who is a duke in hell. He joins the lady of death. He's tired of being in hell, so he helps her

so that he will be given an incentive by God. Perhaps he wans to be a full human. Well, its really hard to

trust with a demon, but the lady of death has a demon blood herself.

Zabuza

          A gangster, second to the boss of gangsters. (Btw, Lawrence is the current boss of Gangsters but you'll find more of his stories)


Setsuna

          A soul of a samurai which lived 150 years ago, was found hibernating on his relic sword displayed on the open museum in the orient.

Well that's it!

Hope I can finish my project  :lol:

Why did you make another topic for this?

I actually like some of the art, but the WM screen is a bit....lol.

it's because its not an early project development anymore :)
and I want someone to notice my project so that i'll be more inspired.

er... what's a WM screen? haha. if it is the titles screen i'll change it sooon...
 
The artwork looks original and you've made a good start.  Except for one thing: your story. 
The first couple of lines "Someone is plotting the 'end of the world'. A rumor was spread across the kingdom of  hell and it was not the king of Devil himself..." just really don't make sense.  As we read throughout the rest of the story, I've got to say it only gets more retarded.  You defintly want to change the story if not make it acceptable to most people.
Other then that though, it's a good start.

But see thats why you report your old one to be moved here. Either way, I dont think its hurting anyone so I really dont care.

By WM I meant World Map, it looks like the main character is some kind of Japanese Movie monster crashing through Tokyo.

Thats a cliff?!?! o.O

I couldnt even tell. It looks like everything is the same level. Also, nothing looks proportional in that pic at all.

That screenshot..is just....what the hell man?

huh? what do you mean?

You added new ones I see, the second one looks nice; I was commenting on the first one. I can't tell what the background looks like, but at least the sprites looks good!

If you are going for a drawn style, don't mix in Real Photo's or Pixel art. I think it will look nice, like the game Okami.

As long as it animates right.

thank you for the comment, I'll work on it. maybe  I'll change my way of narrating the story because i think that's the reason why it is called retarded. (>.<);;
 
"A rumor was spread across the kingdom of  hell and it was not the king of Devil himself"... Calling hell a kingdom and some rumor going around talking about the end of the "world" is what sounds retarded.  Anyways, you changed it and it sounds a lot better now.  It still needs some work but I think as you go on with your game you'll fix it up.
Like meltaman said, you'll need to make custom tiles for your project so it matches your sprites.  And like Boon said, you shouldn't mix in real photos or pixel art.  Your sprites are different so you'd need to make things match them.
Other then that, nice looking game and good luck with it. ^_^
 
Your character sprites look nice but you really need to everything else match the sprite more. The third pic make your character looks like a giant :(

I really like that black dress design, though :D

Please make the tilesets match the characters. They look great, but the rtp blended in drags them down.

And I suggest changing the names of the characters. Almost all of them are from other games...

Setsuna (the Last Blade), Zabuza (Naruto), Garnet (FF9)

i'm planning to mix my sprites with true pictures, as my tilesets, i wonder if its okay?

well, about the names, i dont know, Garnet for me is alright because she was named after the blood stone colored garnet.  i'll try to change the names of the other players...

thank u for commenting
