Czar_Yoshi Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Oooooh... Like it. Done. Thanks! :) Cool! Glad I could be of assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 If you're gonna do separate countries, the possibilities get even wilder! For example, someone in country A helps to clear out a bandit invasion, which sends the remnants down to country B. The remnants manage to destroy a mining operation before being stamped out for good, but this causes country B to have a weapon shortage. Upon hearing that, country C thinks it's a great idea to invade, while country D quietly funds another group to harass country A again. . .or something. With four different nations, and four points of interest in those nations, there's all sorts of ways to portray this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Of course, things get even funner when your hack takes place over a large enough period of time for nations to be founded/destroyed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 It's four lords, but since they kinda need to meet up in the finale. . .yeah. But that sounds like an amazing hack concept! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousSpeed Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Well, I wouldn't consider myself an experienced expert, or an expert, and probably not experienced, but I do consider myself a decent writer from a characterization standpoint, at least. Now, I've no hacking experience at all (I'm writing[/s] for my own hack, but I'm not going to start actual hacking until that's done, and it's not exactly something I'm rushing), but if help is being asked for, I can try.

ErrantDShepherd Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 So just to let people know, in case they have been curious... I have been working on various story/plot stuff, and character sketches. Hopefully I can put a post together sharing some of the latest plans in the coming days. Book of Exiles is still very much in the works and going forward. Hope to have some proper replies to these latest posts soon, just been rather busy with home life and school lately... :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attila Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Or suggestions for a potential middle book title? Something... That fits with Journey, Odyssey and Legacy... But is more of a... Folly type section "stuff goes poorly section..." Leading to the Odyssey?

AnonymousSpeed Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 ...I can't believe no one suggest Iliad...I mean, I'm not saying the name should be Iliad is only the title of the story, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErrantDShepherd Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 With Toa's permission I thought I would share the very cool concept art he did for my three Lord characters. Hope you enjoy. Here's a little taste... Check the rest out Here! Major kudos and thanks to you bud. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollar Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Short haired girl? Alright, I'm on board. Concepts seem pretty solid, even if the way that capes fits over quiverboy's arm makes it look like he's been Largo'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concepts seem pretty solid, even if the way that capes fits over quiverboy's arm makes it look like he's been Largo'd. Thanks. Also, thankfully our Bow Lord has use of both his arms. XD ---- So... been debating some various things, would love for some feedback on a potential name change to avoid more mixups, as well as just general thoughts on the concept and game balance. :D Would love your thoughts on these questions. In the meantime thanks so much for all the interest and support so far. Hope to have some more cool things to show soon enough. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErrantDShepherd Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) In the meantime... Some more concept art, I suppose? As well as a lil more basic overview of the plot? ---- ARTS -For those that have seen my Sig... you may be curious as to what these individuals are for? Well, all these battle sprites are going to be characters within the game in some form or another. The three Lords Raynah, Saela, and Quinn at the front, followed by some side characters: Vant, Baerderick, Erwand and Garhen. -Concept Battlesprites for Winter, the Mage. https://imgur.com/a/XgKHx -Chibi Design Doodle Concept Art. Featuring Quinn and his unit. Potential designs for Saela and Raynah. Side Characters... and a Cadre of Cavaliers. Click to check out more doodles in my art thread. STORY THE BOOK OF EXILES A royal knight on patrol. A mercenary swordswoman. A wandering prince... And a mysterious mage.All their journeys will lead them together and to their destinies as recorded in the Book of Exiles. Four Lords, all Exiles in their own individual ways.Eventually come together as allies to prevent a catastrophe to their world. The catastrophe will be brought about by a reckoning. The confrontation between returning exiled Eldar, with the one that banished and imprisoned them. Eldar are the magical beings of this land. They were either trapped in new forms and hid... or found themselves teleported to a distant land unable to escape. They get free, and want their land back as well as revenge on the cause of their exile... That would be the short version, I guess? Still very much a work in progress... but hopefully not TOO cliche. ---- Anyways, hope you enjoy this little update, as always... thanks for reading, for all the votes, and for commenting! Would love to talk about the concept anytime. ;) Edited May 28, 2016 by ErrantShepherd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) As long as it isn't "make the Eldar extinct" as the solution, it might work. The story's pretty vague at this point, and you'll need to do a fair amount of world-building to pull this off. Still. . .good luck~! EDIT: Wandering royal guard can actually go a lot of different directions, while giving us a good view of how the country's run. Hence my choice.

Rickochet Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I see you've gone to thinking about renaming lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollar Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Sprite work's solid as always, Errant. Love the level of detail and depth of design you manage to convey in the tiny battle sprites. I am curious about Drake's mask, though. Can't quite judge what it's made of from the art. Is he like, Bane or something? I'm in love with Axe Cavaliers as a whole, though, adn the fact that your's is blue just gets my pavlov goin' with how much I appreciate Lex. Gotta say I prefer Ra(e/y)nah with a plain, ponytail-less short haircut. Though, I'm incredibly biased on that point as girls with short hair are the source of my otherworldly power. (Sad to see I'm the only one who voted for Saela, the idea of a Bowlord's always interested me. That might just be because I get a huge kick out of TearRing Saga's sociopathic Holmes.)

InvdrZim13 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) I see you've gone to thinking about renaming lol Looking at the results for the poll so far, it doesn't look like it'll get changed lol Edited May 29, 2016 by InvdrZim13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErrantDShepherd Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 I see you've gone to thinking about renaming lolEh, thought I would see what else might sound good potentially. I am still rather partial to the Book of Exiles as a title personally.Looking at the results for the poll so far, it doesn't look like it'll get changed lol Clearly the only solution is pistols at dawn.
