Badger Wars

[Ruler of the Dark]

First of all, as the title suggests, this game is about badgers.  It will be no different from a game with humans (and humanoids) except that the people are badgers.  In fact, if I felt like it, I could chance just the charsets, references to badgers (ex. the skill Badger Killer -> Human Killer), and of course the title of the game, nobody would notice that the game is any different than any other.

STORY
The kingdom of Mesodia and the empire of Ebritol are plunged into a war suddenly with no known reason.  The reason in fact, is that two evil siblings are planning to -------- and offer the emperor of Ebritol, Etain immortality and power if he starts a war.  While the nations are involved in the war, the evil duo can obtain the -------- and use them to execute their plan.  Baran, the main character of the game, seems to fall into a predicament where he finds out the evil brother and sister's plan.  He tries to stop their plan but soon finds himself overwhelmed when they find out what he is trying to do.

-Sorry, no CBS or CMS (except for the above minigame/battle)

A game with animal as character. Sound pretty good. That remind me RedWall.

[TackMastaBob]

You stole my idea! But, you greatly made it better! Not to be a poser or anything, but how the /hell/ do you do a minimap?

[Seth Mitchell]

But he has things added to it when you get the compass *zelda cough*  and  i dont think thats been done with rpg maker game before.

At one point I was actually thinking of making a Redwall game, but I decided not to.

I really like the idea of a minimap! So far it looks great!
