[Development] Complete Chaos

[Yeaster]

         Although I don't plan to upload this game anywhere until like 2009, I figured a bit of early promo wouldn't hurt. :-p

         Let's see...my name's Yeaster, I've been using RPGM2k/3 for almost six years...although I didn't actually put anything out until two years ago, when I released O N Y X. I've made three games (Onyx, Onyx 2, Total Chaos) and this one will be my forth once it's completed.

        Before I get into the game itself...I should note my knowledge of gaming making, as well anything computer-related in general, is severely limited. I can do simple stuff, but as far as making everything myself, or making new menus/battle systems/scripting...I think my head would explode, so for right now, I'll just stick to what I know, which is writing. I suppose I could take time out to learn those things...but that would take a lot of time, and being that this is my last game anyway...yeah. :-p

        This is the sequel to TOTAL CHAOS, a dark comedy released March of 2007. This isn't a direct sequel, however, so you will not need to know a THING about Total Chaos to understand or enjoy this game. There are references and a few characters from TC do make appearances, but nothing major and nothing that will hender your enjoyment of this game. For most part, Complete Chaos has its own storyline and characters, as opposed to Onyx 2 which picked up right after Onyx, and uses many of the same characters.

        Several things have changed in terms of design and atmosphere. Obviously, the mapping have improved greatly, being more detailed and consistent than TC. The facesets all use real people, and there are much less graphic-clasing, if any (I hope there isn't).

        Dungeon length have been cut short, and random battles have been done away with. Gone are the long hallways and the mazes that branched off to treasure chests or dead-ends. The rooms are all small, simple, and are designed after the way real buildings are designed in real life.

        The dialouge's improved, and the characters are overall much older than the characters from TC. The dark, sarcastic humor is better, and I've thrown in other styles in there too make it more of a "fresh" game instead of just a TC repeat, which I can tell you right now...it's not.

        The gameplay's still the same, although the character's classes are more varied (TC had few fighters and a lot of mages, in CC, all classes are equal with four characters each). The game starts off simple, after Case 1, the games become much harder than Total Chaos, and a step harder than Onyx 2 (but easier than Onyx, which cheap at times). The reason for this, is that Total Chaos was hardly challenging at all (aside from the later battles - Zepa Matili being one of them), you never really needed to switch characters because a lot of the characters learned the same things (Quentin/Peppersticks, Lindsay/Jerri, and nearly everyone learning "Bubble"). Although some of the spells "repeat," being that I made all the animations myself instead of just using the default animations (so I'm not completely lazy :-p), everyone pretty much use different things...except for Anya/Frida, but there's a story purpose behind that.

            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 a beautiful 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?

Nork decided to use his new intelligence for control, and George fights to stop him.


NAME: Davis Richmond

CLASS: Neutral
ELEMENT: Thrust
BRIEF BIO: Davis was born in Realm, but was sent to Earth at age 19 in order to prepare for an “important” task he was instructed to complete. For years, it was quiet. He later settled down and began a relationship with a woman named Marena Moore. When things were becoming serious between them, he heard a female voice, instructing him to collect the Twelve Demons of Chaos. Convinced that his “task” has finally arrived, he ended things with Marena, and began his quest, unaware of the voice’s true motives…


NAME: Catalina Rivera
AGE: 29
CLASS: Arms
ELEMENT: Plasma
BRIEF BIO: Catalina is one of the top generals in her Realm colony. Catalina’s father became severely ill a few years ago, and the treatment is over double of what she can afford. Because of this, she’s spent the past four years overworking herself. She’s had very little time for personal relationships, and T.K., a humanoid android she created herself, quickly became her only friend and companion. Nonetheless, Catalina maintains a fairly positive persona, if one a little…eccentric, at times.


NAME: T.K.
AGE: 4
CLASS: Neutral
ELEMENT: None
BRIEF BIO: T.K. is a human-like android that Catalina created herself, modeling his personality after her father. T.K., like most androids, was built with a “life band”, a device that senses the brainwaves of the android’s owner. T.K. mental maturity grows as Catalina’s ages, and when she dies, he’ll soon shut down as well. Like Catalina’s father, T.K. possesses a great deal of knowledge about various subjects. However, he’s strangely flirtatious, although rather poor at it, a trait unique to him.

         The game is split into four "Cases," and as of now, I'm almost finished with the Case #2. Compared my other games, this game is more user-friendly, with the shorter dungeons, non-random encounters, and large amount of secrets and optional things avaiable. I want to make sure that this game is at its absolute best before I submit it anywhere, which is the reason for the long wait.

         Well...that's it. Comments are encouraged, but please, no flames. I'll only take the comments that are constructive or provides advice/assistance seriously.

          If you want to know more (or perhaps find and play Total Chaos), please view the blog, which is not only for this game, but the others as well. The old demon to Complete Chaos is up there as well, but it's a little outdated and requires RPG Maker 2k3 unfortunately, unlike the others which are stand-alone.
