Story

Long ago, this World was inhabited by both Agares and humans. They lived in peace for a long time, until 2 creatures, a human and an Agar, began the great “War of 30 nights”.
Exactly a month later Somnus, the god, created a new world, exactly like the original one, and separated everybody. One world for the human race, and one world for the Agares.
The 2 creatures who started the war gained the power of the god. The Human became the Earth magician and the Agar the Fire magician. Their job was to control if nothing went wrong in their own worlds.
Each of them had a ring, that allowed them to travel from one world to another. Somnus told them to conceal everything about the other world, and he erased everybody’s minds about the Agares and the Humans. They swore that no one would ever find out and use the portals.
Somnus thought that everything went right, but there was something that he didn’t expected. The magicians started “The organization” , a group of Humans and Agares who wanted to abuse the portals to conquer both of the worlds.
What nobody knows is that every human has an Agar form, and every Agar has a human form, so if the Agares conquer the human world, the humans conquer the Agares world at the same time!
63 years later Somnus saw that there were a lot of Agares in the human world and also humans in the Agares world. Because of that, seeing a Agar in the human world was thought as being normal.
Somnus noticed that he wasted 63 years of work so he came up with an idea.
He started working on a new world, the perfect world, and when that world is finished, he will destroy the Human and Agares worlds forever.

Uhg, work on your maps, The story looks pretty good, but really , work on your maps. To making them smaller . ( the first map isn't that bad)

Try to re-write the story, add commas and stuff.

I'll rerwite the story :p

About the maps:

They are city's I can't make a city with a small map :p
And the port is an important town, It won't be in the first demo, but i'm working on it so you can do a lot in the port :p

You get it?

pd: I'm Dutch, so Don't shoot me if my English ins't proper xD

I'm Argentinian .

How have to make each tile worth it. Use it in all the 3 layers, and add an event to give a professional touch. Events have a transparency option, as well as a color tone, so they can be really useful.
If you want to keep them bigger, fill them with grass to make them look more realistic.

I'd advise not using so many spoiler tags, especially for short little things like the story. Generally, if it's shorter than 3/4 of a page or so, you don't really need to put it in a spoiler tag.

As I said :  It's a screen shot from the Editor, so you can't see the events, there are like animals, smoke, NPC's, fountains, .... xD

But the maps like the city's are a bit plain... i'll try to improve it ^^

And as I also said, the Port isn't finished yet ;-), It's just a preview xD

 

[Styno]

For some reason the topic was screwed up, I've rewritten the whole thing!

And some good news, DEMO IS DIRECT DOWNLOADABLE!!!

 

[Styno]

Please tell me what you think so far... ^^

 

[mila2]

this is so cool keep up the good work i wanna play when your done

Do you have an attention issue or what. (no offense~ XD)

...

Now that I'm over the shock of having >>>>>><><<><><>><<<<<ARROWSLOL in your topic title and AMAZINGGG as icon, I'll comment on the project! :D

The story seems like cliché war and God stuff. I'd say CHANGE IT but that likely won't happen.

It's cool that the main character is a rich character, instead of a silly farm person as usual.~

Your port town map is horrid. I would look up a birds-eye-view image of a real port town. They aren't shaped in such weird and random ways. Actually, I can't think of any man-made town that looks that random and weird.

The intro effect following the trees/roots down is brilliant. But all the bright flashes are really annoying. You can't even see the buttons anymore because of it. Lower the flash power or put the images above the flahses.

Sorry if I sound negative, but you're not going to improve from just positive messages.

Ok, as for the story, It is what it is :p All I need is a good writer to rewrite the story to make it exciting, but this is my story, cliché or not ^^

The port map is not yet finished, it is for a later point in the game :p

And I'll try to fix the flashes :p

(btw, I do need attention ^^" I want people to read this topic and I'm hoping to make a well known game on this forum )

Nice to hear the Port map isn't finished.~

Lol well I hope all the arrows etc work out for you. xD!

 

[Mr_Smith]

This thread is a pretty big pain to read. You have a ton of bold, centered text; an image in a spoiler; more centered text; a bunch of 'screenshots'(more like just maps) in a spoiler; A totally useless "Crew" section, and a credits list. It's my opinion that the way in which you present your thread is just as important as what's contained therein. I can't say this thread has really caught my eye in a positive way. I can't be bothered to read all that centered text! ;o

Also the arrow shit in the thread title is really annoying.

 

[JoneQ]

Hmm... :scruff: Pretty nice. Just work on ur map's
Btw, the music isn't from Suikoden :D ? :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

The music I used is all Enterbrain standard music, so no xD

I'm working on a website as you can see, there it will be different ;-)
When the website is done, I will update this ok? xD

As for now : This should do it ;-)

I think the town would be better if you focused on a small part of them rather than trying to map the whole town, because large maps like those just look lifeless and really tedious to navigate. Plus, to have the right amount of NPC's roaming around to make it look like a real city would you would need a lot of events, which is going to lag a lot on a large map. Just my thoughts.

Also, just for pointers, >-------[insert title here]---------< is a really lame way of naming your thread, it attempts to draw attention away from other projects and just looks silly.

 

[friend]

Your grammar is...

its...

I've never seen someone using professional looking pictures with HORRID grammar.

I think the mapping is ok...

WHATS WRONG WITH THE TEENAGERS, WE NEED MOAR OLD.

I realize the 2 worlds thing is overused.
