COMPLETE CHAOS [DEMO]

[Yeaster]

Well, let's get to it, shall we? This is a comedy game, but the humor is dry and sarcastic, so if you're looking for something random and "light", then you should look else where. This isn't a "traditional" RPG in terms of characters and setting by ANY means.

STORY:


           Ten years ago, a great evil was unleashed unto the world. Sealed for over one thousand years, this evil threatened to seize control over both Celestia and Earth. Joined by eleven other friends, the Celestial Prince managed to successfully defeat the foe. The world was saved, and everything returned to normal...until now.

           ERIC VENTURA, top cop of Rodger City, is sent on a mission to protect Jazz singer KYON-LEI KWON from a mysterious stalker who goes by the alias, "FACE." Eric's task takes an unexpected turn for the worse when he's suddenly confronted by a horrifying demon. Saved by an unidentified voice, Eric is given a unique set of powers, and saves the Jazz singer.

           Soon after, Eric learns about the TWELVE DEMONS of CHAOS, twelve gods who each ruled over their own world in the dimension of Realm. Their corrupted society eventually led to their downfall, and fearing of their defeat, they created three CHAOS STONES, where they hid and fled into a new dimension...Earth.

           Using human flesh as a disguise, these demons walk among the earth, some aware of their ability, some not. If the twelve demons are reunited, their original form will return... as well as their hunger for galatic domination.

           Eric and Face race to find these demons, though the battle lines aren't as defind as you'd think, once motives become clear and manipulation sinks in. Can Eric and his friend trust the voice guiding them.....or does the voice have a motive of its own?

 
CAST: (Those that appear in the demo)

NAME: Eric Ventura
AGE: 26
CLASS: Neutral
ELEMENT: Realm
BRIEF BIO: Though he lived a life of poverty as a youth, Eric grew up to be very successful, achieving a very high rank in the police department after working there for only five years. Unfortunately, his relationship with Lauren Mullen proved stressful, and his performances at work have been affected by this. Chief Chep Myers gives Eric one last chance to earn his keep, the order to protect Jazz singer Kyon-Lei Kwon. Unknowing to Eric, this mission is about to change his life forever… Will he be able to handle it?

BATTLE: As the game’s lead character, Eric is the character you’ll be using most often. Like the lead from the previous game, Eric’s class is also Neutral, meaning that he isn’t weak (nor strong) against any particularly element. Aside from Kasumi, Eric is the only character to use Healing magic, and his powerful Realm spells will prove to be useful on several occasions. His Techniques range from Gun skills, to Sword skills. The Bladed skills are slightly more powerful, but the Shot skills inflict deadly status abnormalities on the enemies.

NAME: Kyon-Lei Kwon/Anya Nent
AGE: 23
CLASS: Spell Caster
ELEMENT: Magical
BRIEF BIO: Kyon-Lei Kwon is a successful Jazz singer. She grew up fairly middle class, and didn’t begin pursuing music until advised by her vocal coach. Unfortunately, for the past year, Kyon-Lei have been stalked by a mysterious unnamed fellow. And to make matters even more troublesome, she frequently has conversations with a “voice”, who guides her. This voice leads the soul singer right to Eric Ventura. After learning about the power she has stored within, she wishes to join the crew in an effort to use it for good.

BATTLE: Kyon-Lei is the first true mage to your party. With the power of the magical elements at her disposal, Kyon-Lei shares abilities with Frida. Unfortunately, as a Spell Caster, Kyon Lei’s physical attributes are a bit weak; however, her magical attributes towers over both the Arms and Neutral characters.

NAME: Francis “Blaze” Preston
AGE: 26
CLASS: Neutral
ELEMENT: Metal
BRIEF BIO: Though they are not blood-related, Blaze and Eric view each other as cousins (their parents were close). Eric and Blaze live separate lifestyles, though oddly enough, the two get along fairly well. Blaze is a member of a street gang called “RAZOR”. Run by Mace, the group patrols the town, stopping other gangs from bullying the citizens. Blaze is rather content with his life, despite never accomplishing anything important. However, after learning a secret from his parents concerning his past, he’s left wanting a little more.

BATTLE: Being a Neutral character, Blaze doesn’t have any weaknesses; however he isn’t strong against elements, either. Blaze, like Kasumi, Catalina and Eric, is an extremely rare character, for he is the only one who uses “Metal” spells, which works wonders if used on “Plasma” enemies. Aside from that, the majority of Blaze’s techniques consist of Physical moves, which would work great if used on magic-based enemies. Blaze’s stats, and his weapons, fall more towards average.

NAME: Phoebe Brace
AGE: 27
CLASS: Arms
ELEMENT: Flame
BRIEF BIO: Phoebe works with Eric Ventura in Rodger’s Police Station. She is not only the best female office, but one of the best officers of all, leaving many of her coworkers wondering why she has yet to receive her own office. While on the job, Phoebe can be strict. She and Eric are great friends, but horrible partners, for both believe that they would be a better leader over the other. Unfortunately for Phoebe, she was engaged to and set to marry Jonathan Peters, but he skipped town the morning of their wedding, completely devastating her.  

BATTLE: Phoebe is the first fighter to the join the party. While Phoebe learns powerful Flame magic, her true (and obvious) specialties are her Techniques. Her Shot skills are the best in the game, with many of them taking dealing several thousand health points quite early in the game. Combined with her high HP growth, excellent Hardness and Power growth, Phoebe is one heck of a powerhouse.

FIGHTING

There are three types of characters, “Spell Caster”, “Arms”, and “Neutral”. Mage characters specialize in powerful magic. Their resistances against Magical-Elements are high, but their vulnerability to Physical elements is raised as well. Fighters are just the opposites. They’re powerful in Physical, but weak in Magical. Neutral warriors aren’t vulnerable in any element; however, they aren’t resistant against any, either. Battles are held in dungeons, and can be accessed by approaching the enemy roaming the field. In other words, the battles are not random.

Well, I'm downloading it right now, but, it's just the graphics, they're just, well, weird. Is this your first game by any chance?

[Prpl_Mage]

I haven't dowloaded it yet as my free time seems to escape me...
But try not to mix too many different graphics:

That battlescreen looks quite weird as you have sprite sized characters and a background that seems to be made to match the RTP style.
Then the front two monsters seems to be ripped from one game and the boss seems to be a picture where you removed the background and used it.
But my largest worry is the facesets there; One seems to be handdrawn art for some game(Eric) Then the second guy is a real person, the third character is what looks like the face of some Resident evil game and the fourth is another photograph.
It's just another clash of styles, it looks so wierd when some things fit into the screen while others don't.

Oh, and if you're going to use that office, try to decrease the saturation of the characterset in there or increase it at the chipset. 'Cuz it really looks odd.

But I'm quite sure that there is nothing wrong with the game itself, just trying to let you know what you could do to earn a bit more possitive replies.

[Seil Dolgany]

It looks nice, i reserve this place to comment as soon as i play it.

[Yeaster]

The facesets are purposely mixed, just so you know. :p

I've seen this done quite a few times in other games, so I'd figure I'd try it out. Which reminds me, I didn't really pick the best screenshots.

And this is actually my forth game (0.0). As far as my graphics are concerned, I am not the best at map-making, but I do put a lot of effort into making them look (somewhat) presentable. My strength, I feel, is in my storyline and characters, so that's what I focus on most.

[Prpl_Mage]

I see. That's a strength as well.
But try to at least decrease the saturation of the charsets that are inside a building done with a more detailed chipset(ands darker saturation). I promise you that it will look a lot more appealing to the eye.'

And about the facesets... I don't get it... They were supposed to be done in different styles? For waht purpose? Are they in fact from different realms? One that is our world, one that is resident evil and one that is some comic book?
No, I'm just thinking out loud here.

[Yeaster]

Just because. If you think this is bad, then you should see some others... 0.0

Aside from Eric, Phoebe, and like, two others, everyone else is a "real" person, so to speak. Those who were not based off of real people, I tried to find CGI art that was as close to being "real" as possible. There aren't comic, cartoon or anime faces, or anything like that.

The consistency has improved a lot, at very least, over TOTAL CHAOS (the game's prequel). I mean, there isn't an actual reason why I chose to use real people as faces...I just wanted to.

I see, what's wrong with the font? I included a font patch inside the folder just incase.

And yeah, I realize that this game may not be for everyone. Facesets aside, it's modern and at times, vulgar, and not everyone likes that in RPGs, for some reason.

[Yhtomitsu]

yeah personally i didnt like it but it seemed a good game yeah when i played it the font was all squished together but if you included the patch thats all good then, i didnt see the  patch so sorry about that.

[Yeaster]

Just out of sheer curiousity, what didn't you like about it?

Oh, certainly. Thanks for making interesting resources. :p
