Dragon Twilight

[Xen]

Well, to be honest, I wasn't thinking about the dying world part from final fantasy when I made my RPG's (second) story. You are right though Drenrin, I might be able to disguise the dying world rip with my own ideas. But, for some reason, all my RPG ideas end up having something major in it resembling a famous game or movie.....

I was also thinking of making a small demo of the story I explained earlier. Although, it might just be when Shiuyen fights the Dark Dragon and loses. It'll also take ages to make but I'm working on it....

[Red Giant]

I like the second story. If you focus around Shiuyen's emotions involving dragons and his conflict in feelings, I think this could become very involving.      

[Xen]

Thanks. I was going to use Shiuyens hate towards dragons to a good effect in the story, but thanks for suggesting anyway.

[Xen]

I forgot to add something to Shiuyen's character profile.....
HIS APPEARANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dammit! He can also be found on the complete resources pages (page 2 if you can't find him) but if you haven't seen him there he's here.

I'm still editing him anyway.....

[VahnGrave]

sounds good, i want to be a tester.

[Xen]

Yeah, fine, but I warn you, this first demo I'll be doing ISN'T playable, or so I think, but if that's a dissapointment to anyone just say and I'll make it playable. I was really only planning to make the fight scene with the dragon. That'll take AGES to make and I mean AGES! I have to get sprite animations for shiuyen up to scratch and make the big dragon that Shiuyen fights. I'll keep you updated on it's progress anyway.....

[Xen]

Like most RPG's, you can get many different weapons from shops, enimies and such. But, my RPG is different. Let me explain....

 Okay, in the world of Dragon Twilight, there may be cases when certain people don't want to part with the weapon they used for years on end. This is where power crystals come in.
 A power crystal can be inserted into the hilt of a weapon to give weapons unearthly amounts of power. These crystals could make a dagger as powerful as a folded Titanium Katana blade or a battleaxe as light as a feather. But, these crystals are VERY rare and can only found in mines deep under the planet's surface. There is one thing needed with these crystals for them to react however.....
 A metal called (are you ready?) Chrymorphasyte (pronounced
cry-morph-a-site). When Chrymorphasyte and a power crystal are put together, the crystal releases it's power, boosting the statistics of whatever the metal is attached to, like a weapon, for example. Chrymorphasyte is also rare and can only be found in the most dangerous of areas (how convenient....).
 Master weapon smiths make weapon hilts out Chrymorphasyte with little insertion slots for the crystals for those with large wallets. They can also be specially made rewards for any brave fighters who are willing to bring back metal supplies from these dangerous areas. The amount of crystal slots differ between hilt sizes.
 My main character, Shiuyen, has a Chrymorphasyte crafted hilt on his claymore. If you look close enough, you can see 2 crystal slots in the shapes of diamonds. They are dark grey.
 Whew..... That took a while....

Give me your opinions please!

[Ace of Spades]

The crystal idea is cool, but sounds similar to KH. In KH you have a keyblade (very dumb weapon) and attach a keychain to it to increase its power. But then again the appearance changes. So I guess the idea is pretty well thought out. But I don't know if its been used in other games. BTW: I think that your 2nd idea was better as well.

[Xen]

Thanks for telling me. I wasn't thinking of KH when I made the weapon system. But, the truth is, I just can't be bothered to get tons of different weapon sets for each and every charcter.

I can tell you that there is another game that use a similar system. Ever heard of Arc?

You can equip items to your weapons that give them better effects. It's not very good though......

[Xen]

I've just finished creating the draft for the Dragon that Shiuyen fights at the beginning! It's not all finished yet however and it still needs a lot of editing. It's just to show you what it looks like(I took the design from the RTP dragon monster set, if you hadn't notice).
Anyway, here it is.........and don't laugh, please.........

[drenrin2120]

It looks like you doing a good job with it and taking your time. Goodluck and looking forward to a demo.

[GhostClown]

Yeah, I'm glad to see your putting alot of effort towards this, good luck.

[Xen]

Yeah, thanks!

[Xen]

I'd just like to announce that the progress speed of my demo's completion has slowed down even more, by about 100%!
I've gotta complete my brother's b-charsets for him and he won't stop moaning at me until they're finished!!!!!!  
Sorry for any incovenience......

[Xen]

I have got 2 more screenshots of my game, they're not much but here they are anyway.
