A note to those of previous knowledge on this project...
"Tim/Flamerfox, finally, you posted it! But where the hell is my demo?" I know. It's not here yet. It will be here soon, and I'll leave it at that. Yes, I know I've gone through countless delays, yes, I know it should've been here a long time ago. So, now that something is here, quit yer bickering. Besides, this was already posted twice, and now a third time, thank you forum hackers.
The Game Idea
Venaliter Rising is not really your typical fantasy RPG with swords and dragons and an angsty hero with an odd haircut. Infact, its anything but. It takes place in a unique world, that blends in elements of fantasy, western, science fiction and steampunk. Although it has a more or less serious storyline, theres plenty of comedic relief in many cutscenes, along with a wide variety of absurd extras to unlock.
The World
Towering skyscrapers, entire cities lit up by neon and spotlights, unseen airship highways throughout the sky, and a world power running the ideal world. All of these, shining examples of Wendir...
...As it were but a decade ago. In this age, they are but remnants of a world that seems too good to be true. Through the anarchy and ruins of this arid and unforgiving world, two wandering gunmen drift from town to town in search of an old myth, one that they themselves have little more than contempt for.
Upon entering the backwater town of Midrose, the two drifters cross paths with but one of the world's last great wizards, and soon learn that the myth they were chasing may not be as cynical as they originally thought.
