Project Blademasters
A ZiK-Studios Production
ZiK-Studios was created as a "just for fun" Group. ZikS is a group of friends (Zeldrak, Ivy-Mitsuno and Kirus, hence ZIK) that decided to post their projects with only a group name instead of their own.
This being established, ZiK-Studios now wants to create an RPG based on another work in progress called "Blademasters". The story itself is being developed by Zeldrak (me) along with character design. Ivy-Mitsuno is my assistant with the storyline while Kirus is also helping out with character design while working on his own project.
With the long forgotten idea of creating an RPG based on my story, I decided to take it out again and create the perfect 2-D RPG using RPG Maker XP (back then when i started i used 2k3).
So enter, and discover... the vast world of the "Blademasters".

What's This all About?
Now for the part where i explain a bit of the story, and show you the concept artwork.
The story takes place in a fantasy world where awar raged for 20 years. This war was fought fiercely between the 4 nations of Terra: Valkyria, Titania, Eteria and Damascia. Each nation had to protect their territory from the other 3, resulting on constant battles for strategic positions. Each kingdom had a Guardian, who called themselves the "Mithycos", each one bearing a Sword of ethereal power to the Chosen of the Kingdom. The swords would mutate according to the chosen's fighting style, thus proving to be the ultimate weapon. In the last stand of the 4 Kingdoms, when no soldiers were left with the will to fight for their Kingdom, the Champions proceeded to create a Peace Treaty among their kingdoms. With the approval of their Kings, Terra returned to peace, and the Swords of the Champions were Imprisoned in their respective kingdoms, kept hidden from the population for centuries.
But now, Titania prepared to rise from their once former glory, when none was prepared. And while peace ruled over Terra, we turn to Valkyria, the Holy Kingdom of the Goddess Valkira, and to our heroes, who's journey will begin with a surprise.
