InvdrZim13 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Plot/Backstory Nearly two millennia ago, humans came to exist in a dark world shrouded in mist. For a brief period of human history, all was well. This peace would soon be broken; dark creatures emerged from the Black Mists, running rampant and terrorizing humanity.Unable to combat the emerging threat, humans called upon the heavens in desperation, only to be returned with silence. The being that had placed them upon this earth would not respond to their cries of agony and humanity quickly learned they had been forsaken. With their backs to the walls and forces of darkness encroaching ever closer, the peoples took matters into their own hands. These desperate times drove humanity to desperate measures, steel weapons were forged from human dread and desperation. But these weapons were not enough, greater power was needed, more than a simple forge could produce. A commanding sage named Velhari turned to the arcane arts and through further tribulations, created a flaming staff of overwhelming power. With the weapon complete, all of humanity rallied together in a final offensive for survival; Velhari plunged the staff into the dirt. Light arced through the land, shining pillars bursting forth throughout the corners of earth and the fruits of mans desperation rang true. The beasts from the dark turned to cinders and the Black Mists were sealed away, leaving a bright new world in humanitys fingertips. The world would remember its heroine, Velhari, and named the continent in her honor. Her legendary weapon would be forever immortalized at the center of a great city and was dubbed: The Staff of Ages. Free from the Black Mists oppression, the peoples of the new founded continent spread to its corners. The kingdom of Fortuita, located at the continents heart, tamed pegasi and rode into the skies. Arynden, a nation to the west, created a name for themselves by mastering steel and magic. To the East, the merchant nation of Riviere and its duchy, Persici, grew strong through trade, and between Fortuita and Persici, the tribal "nation" of Gahum formed. To the north, the isolationist nation of Toska rose. And to the south, explorers trekked through dangerous swamps to found Ezpatha. As time marched on, the continents nations grew lax and careless. Countless years after humanitys stuggle, the Aryndese King Oberon, began attacking Fortuitum villages under the guise of border disputes; these militant actions were the first to be seen in a millennia. In hopes of avoiding any sort of conflict, Fortuitan Queen Kalvesta drew back her nation. Never-the-less, Arynden continued its assaults, with the queen doing little to retaliate. Now, the Fortuitan-Arynden border is a standstill...

Alusq Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) Well then, there's one more concept straight outta the blue! At least for me. Intriguing that the ancient divine object isn't a sword or other physical weapon but a staff this time around. Good luck!

Intriguing that the ancient divine object isn't a sword or other physical weapon but a staff this time around. Good luck! That was actually one of the first things we decided on, we felt like it'd be more interesting that way, glad to see that it just might be. Thanks! Maybe we'll have something ready before the FEE3 submission due date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mage Knight 404 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks! Is that really that impressive? We've been seeing a number of concepts crop up in the recent weeks but with nothing to show for them, so seeing some screenshots of one's actual progress, however small it may be, shows that there's effort being put in and it's a welcome sight to see. That said, I also like that the lore's icon of the hour is a staff instead of a weapon. The two maps seen look fairly decent, and the face sprites... Well, Belle's looks alright, but the other two need some touching up, but hey - the start is almost always the biggest hurdle for a new project. Hope things go well for this one!

Willie Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The two maps seen look fairly decent, and the face sprites... Well, Belle's looks alright, but the other two need some touching up I agree. You should keep the Belle sprite and make new ones or drastically change the old ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keks_Krebs Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) This project has a pretty big Art team, with different people doing different portraits. The Belle portrait was done by Toaomr. We aim at not only changing all the playable charas but also using custom bosses. Some are not done by this point like that one guy who uses Eliwoods Edited August 29, 2015 by Keks_Krebs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know which two you're referring to (not that there are more than two other new sprites on there), and we're actually working on making them better (Sawyer's is getting a totally new mug, for instance) Edited August 29, 2015 by InvdrZim13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InvdrZim13 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Kalvesta isn't Ursula anymore! (Feedback is of course welcome for her mug) Sawyer will get replaced eventually, whenever Toa can get around to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvdrZim13 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 And I might as well put it on here, the map tile animations aren't working, despite it being set to 0x500 in nightmare, and unfortunately nobody I've asked has been able to figure out a solution for me to try, and I've got nothing. So if anyone has any idea on how to fix it please let me know, else Velhari will just have a bit of a standing water issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InvdrZim13 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 also about your map issue you should probs explain in greater detail about what you did and what isn't working Oh yeah, duh The only problem is the water tiles don't move like they should, so instead it just sits there not moving. I tried to insert it as a .tmx but that didn't change anything. So here's some pictures that hopefully help show what I've tried/done. So here's the prologue map, the specific details about the design are unknown to me as I'm not the one who made it, but I don't think the issue is coming from the map itself, I've probably just goofed somewhere. And here's the (hopefully relevant) nightmare bit, I'm not 100% sure if there's anything else you'd need to know but I can try to give more information about it if needed.
