Yes... I AM BACK! (With a new game)

FWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I am back from my brief period of gone-ness where i was submited to the most cruel acts of torture. I was forced into a chair and prodded with little sticks and forced to play Kingdom Hearts (of which i am now a fanatic) and laugh at pointless and silly jokes about yokels and wakka (curse him i say, CURSE HIM!). phew. I think it had a lasting effect on me... Meh. Who knows. Anyways, my neeeeewwwww game (Evil Calling got deleted... I thinks...) is called Beyond the Light. Now kiddies *cheesey smile* i may well have posted a game on here called Beyond the Light before, but this (as i said earlier) is neeeewwwww! It is about a lad named Clad (heh heh) who has escaped from the EBUL clutches of the muntan region. Soon aproaching is the Mana Storm (which i think i stole from somewhere) and with it, a terrible surprise. Sooooo-

CHARACTERS:
Clad Dentai - Young lad
Princess Lucifianne Semarian Avele II (Lucifia for short) - Princess
Cid ??? - Airship mechanic (heh heh)
Rufus ??? - Arena champion
Lumina Lentario Sevele - Forest girl
Locke Rei - Wayward Wizard
Edel Julias - Castle Warrior


PLOT:
Clad, Cid and Rufus are on the run from the Muntan Empire. They don't know why, but they intend to find cover before the approaching Mana Storm. However, Princess Lucifia has just been told the fate of her mother. Now both her mother and father are dead, and she intends to travel to Beinale Rock to save her sister, Marleen, from meeting the curse. Lumina however, is a simple girl who lives in the sacred Hybren Forest with her mother. Upon fighting a Water Snake in the forest of 'no monsters', she becomes worried, and is determined to find out why this monster is here. Locke on the other hand, has awoken in the pleasant Village Wayward, where time doesn't flow, and monsters are nowhere to be seen. He doesn't know why he's here, and he can't remember how he got there. However, when the time slowly starts to flow and the monsters move in, Locke is asked to fnid out why. These peoples once peacful lives have met strange calamities, which isin't a good thing. The Muntan Empire, the death omens in the forest, the curse of the royal family, the magic of the forest fading, these aren't just mere coincedence.

Something big is about to happen.


FEATURES:
Maps,
Skill Scrolls,
Magical Instruments,
Party changing,
Mini-games,
Crystal system


SO:
I would happily take any ideas, characters or plot edits IF, and only if, they fit my plan. I would be most happy to accept any custom ideas (such as ability grids etc) IF, and only if, you can provide the codes/maps. Anyone looking to help make resources, help with the game etc, feel free IF, and only if, you have MSN. (Email IF you can convince me) I'll take anyone from beginners (who like to make maps, events, add to the story) to experts (who are good with codes and items/skill making).

Thank-ye!

If I had RMXP i would ask you for your game! It sounds like it needs help in my opinion.

Do you mean help as in the BAD way, or the GOOD way?

Sounds like a kewlio game. Me wanna play. The Mana Storm is interesting...I've never thought of anything like that...I'm intrigued. If it's totally finished, would you want to host it on a website? I have my own (zmstudios.net) or you could easily post it on my bros website (goldfiles.com).

Edit: I don't feel like making a new thread so I'm just gonna say it here: I've been working on a game called Lord of Lies and I've gone too far ahead of myself and skipped a major part of the story where it goes ahead 10 years so the main character is older...I'm thinking I have to trash the whole game now, cuz I don't wanna delete everything I've just done for the past two or three weeks. IDIOT!@!

Make some more original names. I saw Clad and thought "Cloud" from FF7 and I felt the same way seeing Cid and Rufus. And expand upon the Crystal system. You don't want to go for cliche at all (like I do, but that's just for practice). Otherwise sounds pretty good.

LOL! I never actually noticed the Clad thing... I got it off a website. And Cid, well, i'm just boring like that! . And Rufus, I like that name. And thanks! Screenshots today i hope...

BTW, Slyvr, can i host demo's? Then I will. Thanks.

Screenshots! Beware, my map making isin't that good... I used RTP people because i couldn't find matching character sets on battle sets. If anyone can point me out to a few good ones i'd be very thankful.

That was tripple posting, watch yourself. I have an area for people with game ideas and projects called A New "Current Projects". Oh and feel free to view my story that has been 6 years in the making. My Website. Go to the idea section of the RPG Making Area.

*Here is a great site for a really large and very nice chipset, there are some other sets of other things on the site too. Good luck.

That's a new one; RPG-Palace. Might have to check it out.

I would have merged caj's three posts, but I don't know if the attachments would have merged, too.

Well, you can always go edit the colors yourself to make 'em feel more original. It helps me when I do games.

Dude, Caj...where'd you get that forest chipset and the world map chipset? Those are kewl, me want! and...is it just my computer...or are there pretty much no downloads available on that rpg-palace website?

What do you mean? Have you seen how large those two chipsets are? They're enomous. You can pretty much make an entire game with those two chipsets alone. Then there is the mode 7 script, that is still in progress.

To be honest I can't remember where I got them from. PM me your email and i'll send you them. Hopefully demo will be up when i get Chapter 2 done. Chapter 2 isin't long.

Bumped on request.

Thanks Lenny!

So, I've got some updates. I had some new screenshots for Beyond the Light but I can't find them... *shifty eyes*.

While I'm here, I'll tell you about a new project i'm working on. It's a slight spin off to Beyond the Light. In beyond the light, there is a sub-game (for want of a better word) called Chocobo Underground. I'm not going to comment much on this part of the game, you can find out when you play it! So, this new project is called Chocobo Quest. It isn't an RPG, more of a fun action/adventure game. It isn't set in Yuho (The world in Beyond the Light) so it isn't really a spin-off. The same principals of Chocobo Underground are still the same, just with improved featured and a storyline. Well, I'll keep you updated.
