     World In Chaos:

The three gods of Light, Neutrality, and Darkness have waged war upon each other. Each unleashing energy strong enough to rip the world in half. The Knighs Of The Sol fight along side the Godess Of Light. The Knighs Of The Lune fight along The god of Darkness. The god of neutrality fights on both sides evening the battle whenever he sees fit. The gods once lived in harmony, helping the creatures of the world, Until a mage named Deminos opened a portal to the realem of Hell itself and tried to raise the deamon Halgoth. The Light Godess couldn't help as the mage was in his order serving the light. The God of Darkness figured that he was to weak and could not be trusted, therefore starting the war. After 4 years of the death of Deminos his heir (Demis) has become one of the strongest mages who ever lived. This time under the god Of Neutrality. he threatens to open the gate again which will cast the world into complete chaos and not even the gods will be able to stop Halgoth. The story startes here...

     World In Chaos:

The hope of the entire world lies in the hands of two young knights recently admited into the ranks of the Light godess. They decided to join the knighthood after their father died in the war by the hands of a Dark Paladin. The vowed that they would get revenge. There names Kerin Flamebane, and his sister Simona Flamebane. They have no experiance but have the will and the blessings of the godess. They will encounter many hardships, and many wil die that they hold dear, But in the end they will stop the gates of hell from being opened!

     Features:

This map will use a Party system to enhance gameplay, Special Affects, And Story. As you goin experiance you will become stronger as in most RPG's but in this RPG, there is a unique tech tree alowing you to chose the abilites you would like to learn. Some abilities require a certain level before you can aquire them. This Map Will Use the OSF Format for music themes that would make the game more enjoyable. However the map itself will have small sounds for text messages and such. I currently have 1/4 of the terrain done and already I am guessing There is almost a whole hour of gameplay right there! This map will require some puzzels to be solved in order to progress and will also use a Backtracking style of Gameplay to maximise the Map... (EG: Last Boss Is Near The Starting)

Please dont post you wont finish this map!!

Ok i wont, instead I'll ask why you came up with this kinda God type storyline and i also think you should aim lower as for standards on your map(mainly the OSF sounds) we just publicized this technique so maybe using it on a big project should be a thing to wait about.

Besides that i overall like your map feature ideas and your outline and story. Only thing that catches me is why the Halgoth and the Evil god are not allied(maybe i read wrong). that's it for my thoughts goodluck odd.

P.S. instead of saying you wont finish your map i'll say this, Do you think you'll finish this one?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by TheOddAngel on 2005-04-12 at 07:24:18
Halgoth and the evil god (I dont have names for gods yet) are not allied because the evil god just wants to turn the world to darkness while Halgoth is a deamon of Chaos. It just wants to turn the world to ashes...
BTW: I hope I Finish This One wink.gif

Party System = You move as a party and your characters are transported into an arena where they fight the monsters in TBC style

P1 Attacks
P2 Uses Ability -5 mana
Comp Random Spell Or Attack normaly (Will Use Random Attacks)
P1 Attacks
P2 ect...

If no one uses OSF format then how will it become popular? This way people can experiance theme music without the big DL to worry about there fore spreading my map faster. I will include small WAV's as stated earlier because If thou dont ant to llisten to battle theme and main theme they can at least here some selector choices, EX: SOme Person Talks I play a little Bleep Wav

Will work some more on this after school (Post Before School)

Well Odd this is sounding pretty sweet. Oh and if you ever need help with names I got tons of em xD But I do like the OSF idea you have but I think you should, for those without the OSF, put in small clips of the theme instead of the whole thing or w/e. Don't know how well that will work but it's an idea.

Anyway after reading your topic I kinda just went through a list of names in my head. For your Dark God I came up with stuff like: Xerelox, Ferromor, Destris, and For your Light God something Like Veracaol or something around those lines. In the alphabit alot of the letters or names that are evil or are interpretted as evil can be found are: C,D,F,M,N,T,X,Z those are good premise for naming a evil character. Anyway if you need ideas give me a shout.

Don't get mad cuz I didn't say ur friend's RPG was the best. It was just pretty good.

Odd, oh man. You make like the best maps, but u stop at like 20% and leave everybody crying! I just HAVE to play this mainly for the storyline!

Seems that everyone wants the map done Odd...means that you can't quit tongue.gif .

Anyway, are you going to enter a battle by random battle starts, or you see the guy and touch to fight? also any idea for spells and abilities, or how your weapon system will work (by weapon system i mean buying better weapons to upgrade current dmg)?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by TheOddAngel on 2005-04-14 at 15:54:23
I will be using randomized battles so that anywhere you go you could still be in a fight... The only place you cant fight will be the citys...
There will be some guys standing around that if you walk up to them you will fight. Example being at the port in one town a captain is geting beat around by 2 bandits. You can attack them and get a reward

The UPG system... There wont be one. I will be just haveing when you level up you can UPG your armor right away. I am also going to have a advanced tech tree allowing you to chose the spells you want to learn.

I never did like random battles (always ended up running back to town for potions but never made it and died crazy.gif )

Anyway, what are you working on now?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by TheOddAngel on 2005-04-15 at 07:30:48
AHHHHHHH *runs as a bullet goes by his head*

Anyway Randomized battles need to be in because then I dont just place units there and once you defeat them they are gone. It makes sence that once you kill the bandits on the dock that they wont be there anymore though.

Eventualy in the game some very BIG things will happen to some towns as part of the story. IE: Town Destroyed...


Right now I am still doing terrain... I have finished Coast so far and I need to start working Inland to the forest then the mountains. The coast will be bigger but you ustcant access the coast right now. If you look at the mini map picture that is basicaly the coast until you get up to the part that is being worked on now. The dirt somehwat outline.

UPDATE:

Progress has started to progress again as I got grounded for the week and wasn't allowed on the computers...
Also having Doom3 for xbox and beating the co-op was prety fun... It's just to short...

On TOPIC:

I might need to redo the terrain as my Dad will be reformating my computer soon so I will be able to work on it on MY Computer (WAHOOO) and I will try to make the terrain less linear and more exploring as to the randomized battles you dont really need a linear set up. Keep posting Ideas And Feedback About My Map
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Tdnfthe1 on 2005-04-16 at 09:57:19
Instead of Random battles, how bout you do a walking battle system?
By that i mean making a counter for just about each step the players take in battle areas. So say, you use a 2x2 or 1x1 location to center on your "party" unit while theyre out in a battle zone, and then each time they step out of the location you add a counter. Say maybe 17-20 counts equals a randomized battle of units for that area which depends on your random switches(or whatever you'll be using).

Hope you keep the terrain nice and neat, it looks okay from the minimap. Goodluck!
Report, edit, etc...Posted by TheOddAngel on 2005-04-16 at 10:39:23
That is how my battle system will work...
Then it will go in a Final Fantacy Type system where you
chose Attack/Spell/Item and then it will do the battle...
