Heh, I never really get around to making any games, but I sure write a lot. I am going o make this one though, because I have inspiration as you will learn further down.
Nova Angelus
Story:
You are a boy from the empyreal city Croy Angylion who is sent away in a religious passage of man.' You are sent to your aunt's home in Chwanta in order to experience the life of those lost to sin. After a day of exploring the lake that is north of the town, you awake in your bed, hearing shouts and whimpering downstairs. You rush downstairs to find Ciender, your cousin on her knees, next to the savagely beaten and slahed body of her mother. Enraged you vow to get revenge for Ciender. The next day, very early in the morning, somone knocks on the door. The man at the door demands service from your cousin, who has rushed down to make breakfast for you. She claims that this is the man who killed your aunt the previous night. Your fury reignited, you grab a knife off of the kitchen counter and brutally stab the man. As you drop the knife and look at your hands, covered in blood, you black out and awaken in a dream-like state in an ethereal world. A priest walks towards you and tells you the this is your passage, to defeat your inner sins. You ask questions, but he doesn't answer, all he does is point at a grusome forest at the edge of the field you're in. You walk halfway there when you suddenly wake up to find yourself tub of sweet-scented water that your cousin is splashing you with. You lift your head and tell her what you had seen. Worried about you, she promises to take you to her friend Caethes' shop, since she trained as a psychologist in Llid. You have nightmares during the night, of demons speaking through you and making you hurt. The following day you embark to Caethes' home. You arrive and have a session with her. You discuss your dreams, and she says that she'd like to monitor you. You leave the room, and Caethes tells your cousin that you're going to be all right, and that she just wants to see if anything happens. In a euphoric frenzy, your cousin, her eyes filled with tears, tells you how happy she is to hear the good news; and then, in a confused second, she kisses you. Once again you black out, but this time, you pull your lips away from your cousin's, and realize that she is physically in this dream with you. Again the priest walks up to you and says that you first commited murder and have now commited incest in only one day, and that if you continue on a quick route of sinning, the shadows would overpower you, and you would forever be lost in them. You awaken with Caethes looking over you in disgust. She says that she definitely needs to stay with you, now that your having an incestuous relationship with your cousin. That night you rest at Caethes' house, and again have the same nightmare, and wake up doused in a cold sweat. Ciender is awake as well, and you learn that she also blacked out at the same time as you, and was also having a nightmare. The next day a priest comes to your door telling you to move onto the next town. You ask if you can bring your cousin, because she would be alone, aside from her occupation, and if you can bring Caethes as well, for counselling. The priest agrees, and you begin to march toward conquering your sins.

Intriguing Facts:
[spoiler]
-All of the names come from Welsh.
-The story would be considered a tragedy since you die in the end. Or do you?!
-The forest seperating the sides of light and darkness comes from a Christian philosophy that I am writing.[/spoiler]
wow.. im not big on religion but that was a very interesting thing to read i am pretty much speachless that was ... wow
:smart: Thank you, and no, I'm not a cultist. Nova Angelus is just a different take on Christianity.
Bump.
Bump.
Yeah, it's pretty good. The names are freakin' crazy to pronounce tho. Damn Welsh (no offense).
I am waiting for the screenshots of mapping. =D thats why I haven't commented.
They're coming. I just don't know how to take them :'(.
go to where you want, on your keybord click "printscreen/sysRq"
open paint and press paste.
you really shouldn't have told us that you die at the end. That almost ruins the whole story.
You didn't have to look at the spoilers. That makes it your fault. >:(
maps:
1.Empty/houses all look the same
2.Nice but need more stuff.
3. <3

Problemo isn't a word in any language I believe. Not to be like a douche though, it comes from a greek word, and the greek word didn't have an "o" at the end, it and an "a".
Problema. No offense. I forget the original word, but it's problema.
EDIT: Nice background btw!!!! Very cool. Although I like your bg more, I kinda like the weird swirly blue stuff that looks like souls or flames.

I could help as a part time mapper.
Alright. I'll let you edit my mediocre maps as well.
These are Cities and Buildings that I need souped up.
Ok, I"ll check it out.
EDIT: I checked em out, and also, I did the battle field, I didn't know what tileset to use, because none really fitting what you asked for except the one. So I used that, it's like a plane / highland
EDIT: It's posted, the battle field. But it's kind of dull.
