Corrientes

The Story of An Island...

an island hidden away from the world, sealed by the great barrier. People may leave the island only when a Caller is trained.
And so, each time a caller is initiated, they use the power of their summons to break the barrier, long enough for a ship, (carrying the Caller, her companions, and a crew), to get through.

Each time this goes off without fail, each time the Caller get through the barrier, and sails off into the world in search of a method to permanently break the seal, and free the island.

This time though, the girl chosen to be the next caller, will not get her chance to leave the island, but must instead watch it's destruction, and the deaths of all she holds dear.....


I know the end sounds a bit corny, but it leads to something else, the games over all premise is time travel, but it's restricted to that island, and you can only go back in time through certain places, and those places take you to certain times, meaning that you can't go everywhere at anyt ime you want.

There are five characters, though you only get three through the beginning of the game.

Also, the summon system, the Caller can call a summon at any point during the match, her character is switched out, and replaced for the summon spirit, which you may dispel at any time...

some of the finer points of my summon system were not easy, so I'm definatley proud of it.

Also, there is no world map, seeing as it all takes place on an island... you go from area to area on full scale maps.

The only things I need help on are...

Title Screen
Unique Swords/Canes/Axes
Pose makers

that's all, tell me what you think about it... ask me what to give you screens of, and I'll deliver.

[Vicener]

The tittle Corrientes means currents on spanish. Does that have anything to do with the story? Like how it changes.

[Glitch]

yes Vicener, it does. I relate Time to currents in my game.
I explain at one scene how Time is not a straight line, but currents...

Going back and forth, carrying things through time at will of whatever drives the currents.

I wanted a unique comparison of time.

Some info about the different stuff...

Characters:

Jeni:
A young girl living on the island. She has been trained as a nurse, and has started learning about the healing arts. She carries a knife as a weapon, and can use several varieties of blades. She and her boyfriend Tomei have known each other their whole lives.
Jeni's mother was the last caller to leave the island.

Tomei:
A young boy living on the island. He's proficient with a number of weapons, and he likes to be called a journeymen. He and his girlfriend Jeni have been around each other for their whole lives.
He was there when Jeni's mother transformed into Shiva to save several villagers from a powerful monster.

Azuro:
The young summoner. She is not related to any other caller, but the callers rarely are related. She is not any more special than anyone else on the island. Any person may become a caller, but few accept the task. Azuro has been trained to use a staff as her primary weapon. She can also use some magic, fire happens to be her favorite.

Griva:
Griva is an enigmatic woman that Jeni, Tomei, and Azuro find, 20 years in the future. One of the few survivors from the destruction of the island, she has trained herself to become a superb fighter. She choses only to fight hand to hand, and can use no magic. But she does know a variety of martial arts techniques. What her role in this story is, remains to be seen.

Dijo:
Dijo is from the island's past. He was one of the few warriors amongst the pioneers that founded the island villages. His favorite weapon is the battle axe, but he can use others. Though he seems to be a run of the mill warrior, he is clearly hiding something from the group. Perhaps it has something to do with his strange affinity to use magic? As it is know, magic users were in short supply in the early days of the island.

Summons:

Clay Golem - Earth
Shiva - Ice
Phoenix - Fire
Archangel - Dark
Frio - Water
Calor - Wind
Nexus - Thunder

Magic:
The magic system includes your basic spells, Fire, Ice, Water, Thunder, Earth, wind, each one has multiple forms
For example, Fire Alpha, Fire Beta, Fire Omega. Based off the Earthbound magic system.

How long do you think this game is going to be?

[Grandy]

 Nice plot, with all the time traveling and stuff, kinda reminds me Chrono Trigger

[Glitch]

To Grandy, Thanks.


To Wild Guy, probably 20 hours or so, it's not an extremly long game. But that's only if you go for the basic ending.

There are 3 endings in the game.
Basic, Good, and the Huh? ending.
Basic ending is if you do everything normal, good is if you go the extra distance and continue on with the optional part of the story line, the huh ending is if you continue on and happen to make choices that can possibley mess up time...
