A brief history
"In the time before time, the benevolent gods created one world. A world of unparalleled beauty and splendor. This world was a gift to the children of the gods, and for eons, this world was one of peace and tranquility. But, like many things, that peace came to a tragic end.

A child of this world was no longer satisfied with this world. He desired more. He soon gathered others under him, promising the power of the gods themselves. He led his army to war against the gods that had created them.

His uprising was, of course, a failure. And in a final attempt of difance against the gods, he set into motion an event that would destroy their world."

That was all that was written of The Child Who Defied The Gods. There was no record, no story, no myth of what happend adter his army fell. And over time, what little of the story that there was, was lost to the ages...

This looks fecking awesome. My only complaint is that it seems to be lacking a sadistic bad guy =(

There is a very evil bad guy, but for story purposes, I am keeping him under wraps for now ^^

 

[coyotecraft]

I really like screen five of the knight. And the monster sprites look cool too.

 

[Granas3 REMIXED]

i'm not to sure about that dog/rabbit thing...the ears are just a little too much.

 

[Sol_Fury]

This looks damned awesome. The artwork works really well with the look of the RTP, and the anphomorphic(SP?) animals have a lot of charm to them.

 

[The Cry of Fallen Angels]

War against the Gods doesn't really interest me, but your focus on what happened after this is a thing I can approve. Filled up with pretty sprites and animal-like characters adds quite a bit. Though the drawback is that the characters clothes are a bit poor in my opinion. The character descriptions also, and what I see makes them sound stereotypes. Though fighting with toys sounds interesting.

I'll have to wait on a bit more.

 

[OdioOmnus]

There seems to be some grammatical and spelling errors in the screens, but it still looks like a pretty good game overall.

 

[Roman Candle]

In the battle in the sewers, the shadow under the pipe isn't set to transparent, and the monsters look a bit odd next to battlers. But as a whole it seems to look really good

 

[arcthemonkey]

I must confess, I'm exceptionally racist against furries (at least, I've been accused of being racists based on my hatred of furries, since apparently furries are a legitimate race) but aside from that, this looks fairly slick.

The story isn't terribly original in light of, you know, Final Fantasy XII, Xenogears, and the Bible, but it may be interesting.

 

[Itansha]

@ Cry of Fallen Angels: The War against the Gods is really just the backstory. It just sets up the current world and story.

@arcthemonkey: Fortunatly, this isn't meant to be "furry". My understading of furries is, they are people who dress as animals and think they have some inner animal soul or something.
This is more like cute characters like Sonic, or Breath of Fire. It's also a way to give a more unique look to my game.

 

[Siege]

This game looks really interesting Itansha, like everyone else has already stated the characters concept art is brilliant, i especially like your colouring method, maybe to prevent them from waist you could use them as images when the main characters talk? The sprites match the quality of them, and i do like your story, i hope you progress with a demo in the near future. Good Luck!

 

[Showkaizer]

Those monster sprites look great! you do those yourself?

 

[Itansha]

I wish I could take credit for them, but no. They aren't original works. The crocodile things were made and/or compiled by Erichermitm I think. The bigger one was from an old monster set that I revamped and animated.

 

[Showkaizer]

Ah I see. Still cool looking. I look forward to your game =)

 

[mikalchaos7]

Wow, the battler graphics won me over! I love the characters and art work! The storyline also seems interesting. I can't wait till it is in BETA!!

"Furry" can mean a lot of things, many of which have negative associations. :P However, "furry" originally meant just anthropomorphic animals, or someone who likes that sort of genre. To me, "furry" usually means, as a genre, something which is aiming at that particular audience; like, if you made this game with anthropomorphic animals just to say, "Hey look! They're all animals!" But this game appears to just be an anthropomorphic game, meaning if you applied the story to human characters, it would work just as well. The movie/book Watership Down is often considered a furry work, but I feel it's merely anthropomorphic, because it has a definite story that applies to society in general, not just "HOMG THE CUTE BUNNIES!"

*Ahem* Sorry for the rant. ^^; This game looks very good, and I really like the art. I also like the fact that it revolves around anthro characters because you never see anything like that in RMXP games, aside from catgirls which frankly are overrated. :P
