His mansion, or better sayd factory is filled with all sorts of stuff, he uses this for evil plans.
To destroy all those who oppose him!

well these are the characters, id like some oppinions on them,
oh and ofcourse wich character would you be?

as for the main idea of the game :

in the game you choose one of the three main characters.
and each with uniqeu skills and attacks.
in the beggining of the game, your character gets somewhat in trouble with an evil force, this force captures you, and will let you choose the light or the dark, each options are different.
if you choose the light you will be able to cast holy attacks, and fight darkness, also you can summon beasts, that are ofcourse light.
but if you choose the dark side, you cast a spell of darkness over your enemy, and you spawn dark creatures.
when you have chosen your side, you will get mission, and know the truth, of what your side actually is.
the dark side is the side of betrayal, and death.
the light side is for trust, and life.

thats the main idea of the game, choose your side, and fight the oposite.
i havent finished the story's, because each character has his own story.

also my game will have a system called : the critter system.

critters are small furry, or cute creatures that wander around the world, there are some options that you can choose from when you see a critter, you can :

eat :
pick the critter up, and eat it to gain back some lifepoints.

take :
take the critter and sell it at a shop, or warehouse.

attack :
or you can attack the critter, to gain experience.

thats about all the information im giving right now.
i will update this thread, and ill be working on the game as much as i can, oh, and wen its done, i will use my site, and upload it to the site, so you can play it.

well, i hope you like my new idea, and then now...comments!

[Syntax]

OMG sweet. I love the idea about the critter system.
I cant wait to see more (screenies/info)
Keep us updated! Im going to start my own game now...

[mind-master: brain(mmb)]

lol, thanks syntax...
i will i will, with all the idea's ive got like...what the heck, ill keep you guys updated lol

[WarxePB]

Choosing a character and alignment. Not a bad idea. But you know it's going to take you longer to do it, and the longer it is, the less likely you'll finish it, right?

EDIT: I love the idea of a professor-turned-evil-squirrel as a main character.

[mind-master: brain(mmb)]

well yeah, but choosing your alligment and character is in the beggining of the game, so it wont probably take long.
or you mean by skils and character stuff.
well that...it wont be taking that long, its just pushing yourself trough that.

[Leon_1990]

lol gr8 characters MMB
dey freak me out  

[mind-master: brain(mmb)]

ill take that as a compliment lol

[Syntax]

Well it is :p
but one thing.. How can evil looking character fight evil? LOL

[mind-master: brain(mmb)]

well theyre side isnt evil yet!
they have to choose an alligment,
so they look evil, but are neutral...lol.

and thats easy, they just...do so XD

[Syntax]

Its good to look evil if you fight evil cause then the evil side wont expect you untill you strike!!! Like undercover or something.
But I had an idea like this before. To chose betwen good/evil in my game, exept it was that you had to chose between the guy(good) and the girl(evil) but it wasnt evil/good it was the empire(concidered as evil) and the rebellions(concidered good)
but like any other game... I failed to continue.

[mind-master: brain(mmb)]

lol

[Syntax]

What are you doing right now?

[mind-master: brain(mmb)]

well, i whas working on targoth's story an hour ago,
and when im not working on the story, i try making sprites that i can base my charactersets of, im now working on an owl-like sprite...

[Syntax]

cool. good luck! AND most of all have fun

[mind-master: brain(mmb)]

thanks syntax.

to DF :
about my sig, if you think im gonna use the origonal characters in my game, it is not so, i got the sig made just to get an overview of what the characters are like, so when i make them rpgmaker characters, they arent the same, its that you know that.
and what i dont understand is, i DO get seud, with my sig.
and another with a sonic sig just gets away with it.
