NIGHTOWL'S COMPANY! (KEWL! NEW TITLE! d00d!!!11

Runestones are rare and mystical stones which
give much power to user. One day, a prophet
named Erka did find runestone from mines.
He used that stone to escape from miners
and after that, he decided to keep it.
However, man named Synod have been
trying to steal it from Erka. Erka rushes to
Lightbringers HQ, asking Nightowl to get
back the Runestone.

After getting back the runestone, Synod
reveals some secrets...
But what he says?

The plot is kind of 'dry' but I will improve it sometimes.
Tell me if there are cliches.

KEWL! AN OLD ZHOTGUN!!!11

Still the black thing but.... I don't really have really much time to find a new backdrop.

There wasn't enough 'natural stuff' in chipset so it's kinda crappy. Or is it just me?

-CMS
-DQ Slime Tournament!
-FF8 Draw system (When character uses Draw command in battle, user draws skill
from enemy and is able to use the skill.)
More info and plot information coming soon.

[Fisherson]

Uh.. Okay, First: I can't make much sense of your story. I mean who's the real antagonist? Night owl or Erka? it's never good to confuse the player about that knid of stuff. Second: Youneed to have some one give you some tips on writing , i saw several mistakes in your intro.

[Red Fox]

Your cms looks cool but you shoudl really concider changing your title.

[Fisherson]

I just noticed there's a RM2000 logo at the top of your screen. Not many pepole even have RM 2000 anymore..

[Roland_Deschain]

Wait a second...
Erka is one letter short of Erkai, my author-insert fantasy character in like everything who's really nothing like me apart from his coat!

Did you steal my name? :p And uh. The game's title screen could be VASTLY improved. The CMS looks neat though.

[Nightowl]

Eh? It was from your game?
I didn't know.
Haven't even heard your fantasy or whatever it is.

And Fisherson, I will change it to RM2003, I think it could be better in RM2003.

[Prpl_Mage]

For the title - he doesn't have a thumb. Hold a glass in your hand and look how your hand looks. You'll get it.

As for the rest, seems like a decent-good game for a first try. Might want to change the name of the main character though, seems a bit odd to have the name "Nightowl" at least when referred to.

As for the plot, I suppose it should work. But why would he kill Erka in the first place? Seems a bit brutal, why not just disarm him and to show that he have no intentions of taking over the city or anything like that.

And who are the lightbringers anyway? An army in finland? That seems like a bit far-off, I mean. If he is a colonel of the army, why would he even be bothered about these things?

Anyway. As a first game, this is pretty good, haven't seen any screenshots of the actual game though.
Keep working on it
And changing it from 2k to 2k3 is a good thing, for people(like myself) doesn't own a copy of 2k and can therefore not play it.

[Roland_Deschain]

Actually you can play 2k games with 2k3, at least I can. >_>

[Nightowl]

Purple Mage:
- Nightowl is the alias, not the real name.
- Hmm... Good point. I think i change that Nightowl won't kill him. Erka would anyway reincarnate.
- Lightbringers is a group of finns who takes missions from people.
- Nightowl is FORMAL colonel of Finland army. Didn't that read in first post in character bios?
And one thing, i'm not starter in RPG Maker, a veteran. Have been using RM for 2 years.

[Desimodontidae]

2 years? Well obviously you haven't been using image editing software for even 2 months. Storyline is... lacking. Some setup to the character's situations would be nice. Like, setting and stuff. CMS is kinda cool, though...

[Nightowl]

More than 2 months. Don't just expect me to be good drawer and no,
I'm not going to change title until I feel like that.
And problem in plot is that I'm not RPG Advocate or someone else plotwriter.
It's really hard for me to make a plot.
If nobody likes the plot, fine.
Lock this topic if it's so.

[Desimodontidae]

Yeah. I used to look to TV and books or inspiration. But I don't really watch TV much anymore and the only books I read are guitar tablature (trying to get into MI... if you know what that is) But yeah... I would definitely change the title screen. Shizz, if you got to, go for cliches.. and just heavily modify them.

[Prpl_Mage]

Gotta learn to take some criticism, we're just trying to help you improve.

And I think you mean former colonel and not formal. Or am I wrong?

As for the title screen, just edit that hand, 'cuz he lacks a thumb, that's all I said.

And plot, I said it's fine. But it's hard to see what's coming since I'm not the one making it. But I expect things to get pretty epic throughout as it started out rather confusing.

And 2 years doesn't make you a veteran, I've had 2003 since 2003 and there are still things I haven't figured out until some months ago.

As i said earlier. Good luck with this, and take some screenshots.

[Roland_Deschain]

Can I make a recommendation about the title? If you can draw by hand or know anyone else who can, hand-draw it, scan it onto a computer, if it's not yours mail it to yourself, and color it on the computer. It looks professional and a WHOLE lot better if done like that.
And post screens from the game itself if you have any. :p

[Nightowl]

Roland: Okay... Just wait..

Purple Mage: Uh well... Well maybe not veteran but anyway skilled.
