Two Gods whom governed space and time created a magical world called Celarina. Celarina featured two different lands; each land had its own nation and culture. The lands were separated by divine means so that the Gods could monitor each race’s progress on their own.
Behold, for there are two levels in Celarina.
The Goddess of Dawn created the land above – the tranquil, sky-faring world of Everleryn. It is where nature and peace chooses to flourish. Although the nation is not advanced in technology and means of combat, they are very content and no wars had ever occurred. Everleryn is very beautiful, sprawling across the nation are numerous waterfalls, rivers, ancient structures and mountains.
The God of Twilight created the land below – the magical and, once, breathtaking world of Elumina. The people here were given the gift of magic and most – if not all, know it the minute they are born. Practically everyone practices magic on a daily basis, and there are many mercenaries wielding heavily enchanted weapons. In fact, some wizards have reached a level of mastery close to that of a Demi-God.
Consequently, countless wars had occurred. It is ridiculous as some wars were merely a grudge between leaders, and others were held fun or just to see who is the more competent nation. Recently, there was huge catastrophe that conjured up many evil beings. No one knows whom or what caused it or where the beings came from, but all the nations had to settle their grievances and form a global alliance.
The once glorious land is now barren and dark, riddled with a race of grotesque evil beings named the Ateran. Countless raids and sieges by the Ateran occur on a daily basis. Not only that, the Ateran has plans of taking the battle to Everleryn to expand their territory.
This is a story about the adventures of a boy who grew up in Everleryn.
Hi guys.
I was a Starcraft and WC3 Mapper just got RMXP a few weeks ago. I am making my first ever RM project and I have plans to make this game a very enjoyable gaming experience. I am recruiting to get things done quicker and it might be more fun with people on the team instead of just myself.
All feedback and questions regarding any aspect of the game is appreciated.
So without further ado...
The RPG will feature
• Semi-Sandbox RPG, lots of quests that give the player a sense of accomplishment and reveals more history / plot the more you complete them. Many treasures and dungeons to plunder.
• A highly captivating story with lots of twists, surprises and emotional sways. A lot of mystery that will slowly uncover itself as game progresses. Romantic story with the option to choose your partner. Genuine humourous lines that breaks off the tension right when it builds up.
• Highly creative pixel art, mapping and illustrations.
• Custom music that makes you feel the atmosphere, and custom BGS sounds which makes you think you are actually in the game.
• Enemy detection system. You can also sneak behind an enemy and launch an initiative if you are not detected!
• A taste of the story's mystery, be warned, a lot of spoilers.
— A brother that the protagonist does not know about but has power to contact him through a spiritual link power.
— Protagonist's father is a hidden identity not revealed until much later in the game.
— A corrupted general in the enemy forces of Atera who still has a bit of sanity left in him... who knows how he will turn out.
— A messenger from another continent that is unknown to all of Everleryn. Her identity is concealed until much later.
— A prodigy scholar/ magus with a twisted personality, he helps the protagonist but will his friendship last?
— Time will stop flowing in Everleryn, how could this affect things?
— And much more

Tech Demo Video
Update 31th Aug
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbRA_FKALqM
A little update of stuff I done during the weekend. Trying to work on the framework before I make quests and more cutscenes.
Changes Include:
- Changed the look of the tileset to a more cartoonish and anime-like style. Not 100% done yet so it might look a bit glitchy.
- Minimap system which is togglable using the R button.
- Location bar, which varies in colour depending on whether the location is hostile or not.
- Battle system tweaks such as the camera and formations.
- Changes to the CMS which organises books. Currently have Journal and Beastiary.
- Scalable level system to provide a more sandbox RPG feel.
A lot of minor graphical errors and stuff, also the menus are not all consistent, but i'm working on it
27 - 08 - 09 Cutscene #2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4o81-o1KNw
A New tech demo involving a Cutscene of Senyn vs the two scouts from Atera. Also revamped the battle system.
This will branch into a sidequest that involves you trying to find the cure for your dad in under 2-3 days. If you find the cure in that time, a new sidequest will open because you manage to prolong your dad's life. He tells you a sword he hid elsewhere.
I had some great Story help from --- Sparrowsmith!

Showcasing what I have done during this week on the project.
- Added a lot of new scripts including systems like the CMS from Star Ocean 3. Please note that the summons/ tactics/ quests are not coded correctly as of now.
- New Areas / Mapping
- A musician called Akamizu is helping me out, and has composed the Evergrace's town music!
I learnt a lot recently about scripting and such, but I would really like to have an advanced scripter join the team.
