Story
====

The world of Kingara was constructed by the four gods of life. Each of the gods had there own element, Fire, Water, Earth and Life. The god of earth made the lands shape, the god of fire helped pave the seas and rivers, then the god of water filled them with gushing waves. Finally the god of life gave the land life, plants, animals, and finally humans.

The gods left the world of Kingara to let it grow, as the humans strived to make the land as beautiful as can be. However, they had forgotten the 5th god, the god which had no name. He arrived in the world of Kingara, and began to give the honest people the power of evil.

The four gods returned to Kingara, to find the devil. After a huge battle, the devil was defeated and cast into the deepest depths of Kingara, but the four gods were wounded. They decided to lock the final remnants of their power away in four huge towers which they had constructed, and nobody would be able to open them. They then turned themselves into humans, and became known as the guardians of the towers, humans with power.

For generations, the guardians passed their power down until the legend of the guardians died, and not even the guadians themselves knew of their power.

It was then, the devil returned. The devil, which had spent the generations since the battle climbing to the top of the Kingaran depths. It was now so weak, only its spirit remained. It still had the power to control minds, and give his powers to whom he controlled.

Meanwhile, the Kingaran King, King Herberus, had been learning of the towers, and had begun to investigate them. He was interested in unlocking the gods power, which had been sort after for so long...

But the devil too wanted this power, as he once again wanted to rule the land of Kingara. The devil came to the Kingaran King, and took over his soul. He learned all his knowledge in seconds, and he left the body, and went to search for another, wiser mind. But he made one mistake, the King of Kingaran managed to learn some of the devils knowledge, and he managed to learn where one of the guardians, not just a guardian but, the true guardian, the one who ruled the others, the image of all the gods combined power. The king found, and captured the true guardian, and erased his memory.

As the king grew closer to learning the secrets of the gods, random attack started happening, monsters began appearing from nowhere, and attacking the Kingaran soldiers.

The king had no idea what was happening...

Neither did the people who were slaughtered...

The king fought the monsters bravely, and eventually managed to find where they were coming from...

Yeavin Tower, one of the four towers of the gods!

He sent out his best soldiers, the elites to attack the monsters, find and elimate the source of the ever growing strength that lurked near the tower...

Meanwhile, our story starts the other side of the world, on a small boat travelling to Kingaran Castle...

You play as Finw

LOOKS GREAT!!! Sounds GREAT! And I really want to know i thought you gave up on RPG making?

question: how come every1 use ryu/ryan as their chars? lolz


now for the rest:

storyline- good idea, no super power item/jewel to obtain, thats actually original lolz

good evil system- ok thats a shock for me
i had a plan for doing that , but checking it i have decided it takes far too long, instead i am letting you the evil/good choice in every single mini quest, if you can actually manage to pull up a good/evil system you'll be hearing a lot of claps, *claps just for the awsome efforts you are going to make*
music- what do i know about it? lolz

and maps- as good as ever, maybe better, you gotta make a tutorial of that high/low places in the maps you make, it's really good looking

i sorta think that if you'll make a player zoom, the map will look a bit , how you call it "plain" so blablabla add flowers, you know the stuff

overall - shiny ^^

I know, the maps are not complete yet, it says above  :^^:

Thanks for your comments.

hey dwarra, nice screenshots, and the story is nice too, warn us when you relase a demo, ok?

is Ryuu (Ryooooooo) heheh...the only character? whats kind of battle sytem will you have? sounds good, and i LOVe ur maps! make a tut. on caves and such!

Sure, ill make some tutorials. And no there are more characters, but there not needed just yet... Ill add them in when im done  :^^:

Your maps are good...too good! Your insulting!

Actually, I think the map of the village is waaaayyy better than the cave map (although they're both good, don't get me wrong.) Sounds good though, and you can't go wrong with FF7 music.  :wink:

Thank you Halo !!!

*UPDATE*

Ive decided that when you become evil, you learn different skills as opposed to when you become "good".

Evil will consist of offensive attacks and fire summons.
Good will consist of other summons like angels and so on, and your magic would be status changing effects, like cure and revive etc.

*UPDATE*

New Character Information

Name : Reya
Age : 17
Bio : Reya is from a small farming villiage called Abivale. She has always wanted to prove herself to her friends and family, but has never had the oppurtunity. After learning about Abivale Canyon, Reya decides to try and find the hidden secret and remove her families poor status.

New Screenshot

Just more of Abivale Canyon

What's up with the flower
btw you've gotten better at mapping since you first try for the guild but still could use some work(you still have a small issues with exteroirs but no1 will complain about exept perfectionest like me) also add this to your volcanos  with this the volcano  will make it look more detailed and realistic(yea is if you could get that close to lava lol)



should look like its flowwing

Thanks, the main reason for my mapping "success" is because of you, so thanks!

Also, you get that close in final fantasy 8 so
And ill use the flower, thanks again!!!

Could you put some links to the screen shots, they don't seem to be loading in the post for me... tried refreshing several times.  Also a tip to make updates easier to find... Make edits to original post with updates then just bump the topic.

OK, after posting that the images seem to have loaded...

Town, looks a bit bland, perhaps mix up the buildings a bit and add some more filler.  Other than that looks great.

Caves, look awesome can't really suggest anything to improve them really.

Tip for future Screen shots, goto  View>Dim Other Layers and unclick it, then goto layer 3, and they'll look better (no grid.)

D00d, the town isnt finished! THATS WHY!!!
People should read

And thanks for the tip  

I had read that it wasn't finished, just looked like you were planning on using the same building over and over with no varrience..

New updates, check first post, bold stuff is the updated stuff.

hehe well its ok i spose (joke) its as amazing as ever the only thing i dont like is that your too good maybe you robed the old sages RPg making skills and used them your self your a beast i swear you need to be killed your that good

Well not that good i mean im waywaywayway better (joke again)

Wellwellwell heres one just for your Dwarra W000000000000000000t


                     

Hehe your mapping skills are gr8

A new screenshot has been added, its also on the first page.

DUDE!! Dwarra i really like how you did the outer edge of the water line.  Great job!

Thanks for your comments

Your welcome,  So how much of this game do you have completed?

I still think their are too many boats

HOW are they to many boats, these only 3, any way great map

Never  mind gongo never mind

hey dwarra, awsome map!!!!!!!!!!!!
i really liked it, congratulations and keep us updated!

Neat! Your maping skills are amazing! Will it be released soon?

Sounds good!  Keep us updated.  Is your Ryuu at all related to the Breath of Fire Ryu?  Does he summon dragons and stuff?  In other words, I wanna know if his name is related to dragons at all...  

Do you have any idea how hard it is to say "ryuu?!"  Lyooooo...

Yossy lol, it has nothing to do with Breath of Fire

Ryuu wont be his name for the whole game, small spoiler there, but he discovers who he really is partly through the game lol

More updates soon!

And Ferret, thanks!  :oops:

Sounds great Dwarra and your maps are as great as ever keep up the good work

Shakespeare

Yet another map made

Nice! Check wait, dude!

*UPDATE*

Database work is almost finished now, so mapping will move more swiftly!

Script collection will also begin shortly, so the games gonna kick on abit now !  

Now THAT

correct me if i am wrong dwarra, but when the player plays this map, isn't he unable to see about half of the map no matter where he stands?
that little piece of sea, unless it's connect to another map will never be viewable and so does the other corners..
it's a good map and all, but why bothering with making stuff the player just simply can't see? Oo

it can be really neat if you will connect all the small pieces to other maps so the player will be able to look down from them to the main part of the map

really great work as always

Urm im a perfectionist, i like my maps too look good

Please tell me how you get multiple tile sets on 1 map,  i noticed you have a variety of trees from different tile sets, it looks cool though!  But for a bit of criticism: Carefully, thoughtfully placed tiles will look 10x better than randomly scattered tiles.
Great work dwarra

Great work dwarra

But how many forests have you seen that didn't have trees and rocks and stuff random? They aren't at all symmetrical. It looks more realistic this way. And to answer your question, which can be found elsewhere on the forums by the way, just export tilesets and copy and paste them into one big tileset. In RMXP tilesets can be infinitely long going vertically.

WHOA!! Those maps are CRAZY!! I wish I had skillz like that >.<

I give you many props on your progress. The story has much potential and combined with your mapping skillz, this game could prove to be quite challenging.

I'm looking forward to it!!

Sorry for being honest. The map does look good but take a map that has random trees just carelessly dotted around (not saying yours are dwarra) and a map that has trees placed to look good, which will win in a 2D RPG?  Sorry for going off topic btw

I agree with myself  

Anyways Axra, that map has now been deleted as I was not satisfied with it, and the beach too, im remaking both of them, but making the beach connect to Abivale Villiage, more screenshots soon  :wink:

*Updates*

A new screenshot, first island is 25% complete now!

woah.. the beach looks so... unloaded with crazy stuff oO
total opposite of the mountains...
could be nice seeing a flower or 2 floating on the water, and just a little bit more stuff on the beach, seems so.. empty...

Heh, its empty because the events will fill it up  :wink:

IF YOU WERE A PAINTER WITH SUCH TILES, YOU'D BE THE GREATEST.

Another new screenshot, one section of Abivale Island, ive put alot more detail into this one, though it still isnt 100% complete. Please rate  

xcuse my foolishness but it seems to me that slowly your maps are becoming too detailed..
it seems people are supposed to live there so why is the place such a mass?

xcuse my foolishness but it seems to me that slowly your maps are becoming too detailed..

Theres room to walk :/
And its only a small village, built by some settlers into an island, so its bound to be a mass, as the island was only discovered a few years back, and the island has always existed...

lolz you got answers to everything
just don't get too carried away with the detailing it slowly become disturbing, i am not saying don't make details, just make it..less detailish
other than the semi-over detailing the map looks good as always...

no, i think dwarra is right, details are the key to a good map!
this map is all covered with all sorts of things, but see, you can walk there with no problem.(blueXx, i mean no offense ok)I think the map is great dwarra, don

The 3 houses crunched together don't look good IMO

why are there pathes leading to walls?

bah dragon even i know that he is going to put door events on those houses..

no, i think dwarra is right, details are the key to a good map!

there are details and there is overdetailing.

"too much of anything is bad"

Dude  :|

There isnt such thing as over detailing  :|

Sorry for double post, Blitzkriegpop, you were right, is this better?

Your maps are really amazing!

alot better dwarra.
keep it up  :^^:
(still not perfect though, but the middle looks far better)
and yeah there is such thing as over detailing it ruins the map.. :roll:

alot better dwarra.

Well not for me, or for anyone else it appears  :shock:

But thanks for your opinion anyway, feedback is feedback  

Well i wouldn't call it overdetailed, but i think it's a bit messy for a village
and can the people of the village walk through walls or why are there pathes that end into house walls?

bah dragon even i know that he is going to put door events on those houses..

for me there isn't enough room between the windows to put a door in..
i don't think that doors should be that close to the windows..

for me there isn't enough room between the windows to put a door in..
i don't think that doors should be that close to the windows..

Itll be alright in the end

*UPDATES*

Ive done a small opening credits scene, which will start the game off. Now its just a few more maps, alot events and some errors to fix, and ill have a demo, predicted time, 2 weeks !!!

Yea, looks a lot better.

Okay guys, check the first post for more updates  

Updates in bold as usual  :wink:

hey dwarra, great maps!!!!!!!!

Thank you all  

Updates

*Name Changes

Demo Status : 70%

*Updates*

Major story update.

Its awesome i enjoyed it very much!

BlueXx (or anyone), tell me if you like the less detailed town please!

Nope, more detailed looks a lot better

yea dude, in mine opinion more detailed loks better...

Nice dude! Doing a great job. I also see you're already out of the basic project section lol.

Good maps. How come only a third on the buildings have doors?

inaru...
doors are more often than not made in events, the map does not have events in the screenie.
do the math Xx

Oh. I allways add a entrance, and write an event for a door opening. SO all of my buildings have openings.

Oh. I allways add a entrance, and write an event for a door opening. SO all of my buildings have openings.

I do it that way too, but it can be done either way. I'm assuming the houses without the doors on them already are just going to be "open", and you can just walk in.

Or something else, like the wall gets blown up.

i must say that you are both weird, i make a wall, add an event with door graphics and either put door locked go find a key sort of thing or just make the door "move" and then teleports the player inside the house
i can't possibly think of a reason to bother with making "door space" if it will be covered with a door graphics event anyway...
wanna put a light on that issue for me ? Oo

Nice dude! Doing a great job. I also see you're already out of the basic project section lol.

Yes lol  :wink:

And i got 3 stars too!

i loved it but you coule do a little more detail

Good maps. How come only a third on the buildings have doors?

Yeah it looks really good, i was looking at it for ages before i noticed there were doors on some buildings but not on others. maybe u should remove all the doors instead of just having some, would make it more consistant

or maybe there

maybe he forgot O.O
or maybe the doors are on the side... although it sure doesn't look like it X_X

Yea, but put doors in the side was going to be very strange, people would have to search the door...

well he could have a dark bit of floor where to door is.

Well actually, its a simple explanation, i just havnt finished the events on that map, well guessed BlueXx  :roll:

*Updates*

Demo Status : 90%
Suspected Release Date : Friday

   

SOOOOOOO CLOSE!!!

ARE YOU EXCITED!?

with 7 pages before the demo and so many caps in 1 post, if that's going to be less than the best demo eva you'll look quite silly Xx
so good luck with it and don't hurry up too much Xx

hopefully you are less excited than you seem.. it's just a demo not the complete game Xx
but like i said, good luck and good bug hunting

(oh and about the doors, it's not a guess it's the logical thing to do, bothering with tile changes when the event graphics will cover it anyways is a complete waste of time)

*UPDATES*

Demo Status : 90%

I just need to do a couple of cave maps, alot of events, and a hell load of bug checking and this demo is done! w00000000000t

COOL!!!!!!!!
So Friday is on?
         

friday is today...
i guess we will wait til next friday then.
don't rush dwarra.
