" As our path becomes clear...
      New doors shall open..."

Hehe, Hi everyone! MY browser is finally allowing me to return to the forums. Because of this, I'm restarting my thread ( Going on the 3rd or 4th time now. ) due to the spam that flooded my previous. I hope you all like!



And so, a family legacy began - 15 years ago...

Much before that – long ago in the World of Alterra, the wind's lips whispered peace as it swept through the vast expanses of the plains. Thousands of years of peace blew by, until the race of Humans began to quarrel with the many other races of Alterra. A single ash of conflict erupted into a fire that would burn away at the years of peace that so delicately embraced the land of Alterra for many ages.

At the center of the conflict was the Chaos Kingdom - said to be the most powerful dominion in the all of five kingdoms of Alterra. In times of peril, The Great Goddess would call for the Origintas to aid the Chaos Kingdom. Origintas were youth whose lineage traced back to the Ancients and whose purpose was to restore peace to the world.

By the power of the Origintas, the conflict eventually calmed, and more time passed by under another blanket of peace. A century later, this all changed. A very powerful Originta abused his heavenly gift, turned against the other gods, and attempted to use his power to shape the world to his own fantasies and desires. It was then that our hero's father, Kaiza the Flame Originta, undertook a dangerous journey to defeat this monster. Human Power alone could not vanquish the evil Originta, and so Kaiza gave his life to push his Originta power to its very limits.

Though Kaiza died, his sacrifice saved the World of Alterra, sealing the Fallen One for Fourteen Years until his son, Seeo, was mature to accept his burden and finish what his father had started. Seeo Briune is now a seventeen year old Knight in the Sirdeka Army. Stubborn and playful, Seeo usually missed the points of some of the essential things in life. A new war between Humans and Monsters begins - one to rival any previous war.

A struggle to save Sirdeka's Castle will change Seeo's life forever. The young knight now searches for the truth and will soon discover his destiny to become the next Flame Originta. As his father before him, Seeo's destiny would soon hold the fate of the realm of Alterra in his hands.

This is his story.

The first link is the song Sword and Shield, the 2nd song in the soundtrack and the official battle song for the game.

The second song, is Depth. Used for certain dungeons and caves.
These songs are just 2 samples of what to expect from the game as a whole.

Not bad. I like how you used panoramas instead of chipsets. But I'm having a hard time to see how you could make some kind of balance between that and the mac and blue maps.

Haven't really read trough it all, just took a quick look at your screenshots. Looks good.

[Sion Suncrest]

The panoramas are used basically just for cut-scenes. I'm still deciding if I want to have the shop map being playable. Thank you Robotam!

Battle Sprite Update

A funny person Kryon is. At least, pertaining to how he always appears when I least expect him too. This time he brought me and RoganSarine ( The programmer ) a little treat. Seeo's Sprites! Nearly all the sprites for Seeo have been completed. Of which, I have a small teaser to show everyone. The only thing missing is the sword and bandana which will be finished in no time. Because the systems are almost done as well, I'm working on the intro and gameplay in the begining of the game the most. Keep your eyes peeled for more.

[Xecoa]

wow I love the graphics for the whole game I am jealous.......looks great keep goin

[DragonBlaze]

It looks very cool

The panorama backgrounds are really cool, but the only thing is that if you have some of those cool panoramas and some normal maps, it doesn't really match. The Way series did that, and it didn't really bother me, but I still think that if you want to use a differant type of mapping style, you should use that style for all the maps.

[Sion Suncrest]

The Church pano map, isnt really neccessary and It probabaly wont be includd in the demo. But the Shop and House maps both contain important events. I tried to get creative in the sense of upgrading the gfx for cut-scenes, but I just dont have the patience to have everything be panorama esque. Besides the two I've done now, there probabaly wont be anymore. Just because the pano's are proportioned in a way that'd make the sprites look wierd and stand out more than the ones your seeing. That and using trial and error to map out the collisions is really annoying.

I was listening to "Ashes" it's a really beautiful peace.

(Except for the choir) it sounds like a real orchestra, but (unless you're really rich) I can't see how one was used. I'm just curious to know whether a synth was used or real instruments.

[Meiscool-2]

Where's Jelta? It was my favorite.

[Sion Suncrest]

Thanks for your comments everyone!

@Zerlina: The songs were done by DonathinFrye and a few of his friends. I'll ask him for you the next time I see him.

[Robotam]

Holy crap, did you make that battle chara by yourself? It's amazing. OO'

[Sion Suncrest]

The battle sprites are being made by the spriter known as Kryon.
If you like these, wait till' you see them when they're finalized.

[Linkforce]

Hmm...an actually very good looking game.  Makes my game look like a newb game.  lol  I look forward to your demo (whenever that may be.)  Oh, and with all the added stuff you have, I'd imagine that the game file is HUGE!  
lol, anyways, keep up the good work dude.  I shall be keeping my eye on this.  ^^'

[Sion Suncrest]

Yesterday afternoon, I received some of Seeo's expression animations which were heavenly crafted by Skie Fortress. This will help bring the games events to life right before your eyes. Have a look for yourselves.

[Meiscool-2]

This went from-

"Hey, I've got a cool game to show you!"

-to-

"Hey, look what resources my friends made!"

-really fast.

[Sion Suncrest]

Nah, Skiefortress is part of the team. Just like several other people at Createamation.

Thanks for your intrest in that though.
