Hey, I'm Riku994, and I'm working on a game called "Elemental Heroes". Of course, I'm renaming it soon because that name sucks, but unfotuneately I got no other good ones. Maybe you guys could help me with that? But of course, you can't think up a game name without first hearing some info on the game! So, here I go.
Characters
Zephyr: Age 19 (https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi14.tinypic.com%2F4ul4y2u.png&hash=a78c13ed85902e3ef1b9b78ed386dfc5f97803b8)
A young man from Lowedry Village just wanting to become a swordsman. He lives with his mother (haha) and is neighbors with the Farley family.
Blair: Age 18 (https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi11.tinypic.com%2F63in3uw.png&hash=53511b14a0e0c8adfb21d68b4a73fabeb381bedf)
A young monk from a far away temple, now merely wishing to be a City Greeter. When he meets Zephyr, he only expects to do some minor training to build up his strength. But this simple mission leads to a dangerous adventure, and he's willing to accept it. This sarcastic head strong monk never thinks twice to pick a fight, and proves a speedy ally.
Aiden: Age 21 (https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi14.tinypic.com%2F4m0l7d5.png&hash=4e1ae4f50c7179bbcf6be38a33e8144b60cd2f14)
An aspiring soldier with the simple task of guarding the dangerous path beyond Port Kein. Though he starts out an enemy of Zephyr, he soon becomes a good ally, willing to follow Zephyr to the end. Though he doesn't get along well with Blair, he keeps his anger to himself. Though he knows his mission is an illegal one, he puts his new friends before his rank.
Kerrin: Age unknown (https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi18.tinypic.com%2F4qd2sd2.png&hash=6e8b004a249a3eba62f715b5c64e8db58818000d)
A mage only wanting a normal life guarding the pleasant village of Hakoh. But when disaster strikes, he's the first one to take action. Though reluctant to join Zephyr's quest at first, he soon proves able to handle the task very well. His dark magic interferes at the begining, but soon dissipates, and becomes controlled.
Leon: Age 20 (https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi18.tinypic.com%2F4z8syup.png&hash=70f4d73fed9a8646540451b4a7eafb83c4c33687)
A young man guarding the peaceful Mt. Kire, a task he's held since childhood. He proves a very valuable party member, and doesn't stray from a challenge. Not much information is available now because I just recently added him to the story.
Storyline
In a world where evil is taking over, 5 young heroes must take up the challenge of stopping this evil plague. You start as Zephyr in Lowedry village, and you soon make your way to Mr. Farley's mansion, only to stop a scandal within. Mr. Farley requests that you go to Khalia City to get the Plasma Blade from Mr. Ling for him so that he can research it up north at the Jahri Laboratory. What Zephyr doesn't know is that the Plasma Blade is an evil sword, in fact... No one but Mr. Ling himself knows that. It is somewhat of a treasure to Khalia City, so the city greeter (Blair) is uneasy about letting it go, unless he accompany's Zephyr back to Lowedry Village. Once you return to Khalia City, you begin your training with Mr. Ling. 2 missions later, Zephyr and Blair realise that they are not training at all, merely doing Mr Ling's chores for him. After a breif appology, Mr. Ling sends the boys back to Lowedry Village to check on the evil sword. Finding out the Blade is stolen, they quickly rush to retrieve it. Their quest is halted by a soldier named Aiden, and a battle begins. Leaving Aiden in the dust, they continue on.
Now, I don't wanna give away too much detail do I'll leave it at that.
NOTE: I did not create any of the battlers, they were all made by a different site. All credit goes to them. Color editing on the Grappler goes to Deuresco.
awwwwww yeah! ;D im in the credits! plus i made khalia city for you! so there, and ive advised you on practically all your maps cuz your not so good at mapping...anyways cant wait till its done!
Screenshots are what grabs my attention. :D
alright, i got a copy of his game so i can show ya, im not a super good mapper but im best around where we live so yeah...
here are 6 screens of khalia city that i made for...Riku994
tell me what ya think of my maps, this is my first attepmt at castle city though so yeah...
1st of all, I don't hate you're mapping but I'm not sure about others (they judge maps harsher than me) Good luck! (Psst, don't forget to add the screens on the first post =P)
~Winged
Hey, I didn't have the time to add screens, I had to rush cuz I was going to a party. So what does everyone think? Is it good or does it require imrpvoement? And Deuresco, call me Riku... Unless we're actually talking to eachother.
i tried! but the thing was beging a knob! anyways thx for tip winged, and you like my maps? thx!
edit : ok riku ill keep that in mind
Does Deuresco like my game? Say yes or there's a punch in the near future!... I'm joking tell me what you think.
its pretty good, some ppl might not like it but thats just them and i might like it a little more cuz i helped make it, but thats beside the point.
Your mapping could be better, no offense, your story is ok, tinnnnny bit cliched, uh w/e graphics are fine to me, scripts make it nice and yeah...thats about it.
edit : HEY WAIT A MINUTE! DOUCHE BAG! your not punching me our your getting the smack down!
I WAS JOKING...idiot. And you can;t put the smackdown on what you can't reach.
I like them, however I'd rather 'customness' (I've been known to like customness to some people so don't take it the wrong way)
~Winged
OH! Riku your getting it now. And Winged, what do you mean by "customness"?
Yeah, I've not heard that word(haha rhyme) used before.
I think the characters are to young. The age of the soldier is fine, but 15 and 16? That's to young for my taste.
Well, I don't like me characters to be overly old, but I suppose I could up them to around 18-19? But I can't re-age Leon becuase him being 15 is kinda part of the game.
That sounds good, but seriusly, Leon don't even look like 15. He looks like atleast 20.
I agree with the person above me..it's rediculous..how can these children with little or no fighting experience compare to hardened soldiers and monsters? >.>
That's what I like about characters being young. It shows how much they have to struggle and it makes it more dramatic and amazing that they can actually defeat the evil monsters.
sorry to say this, but i agree with lackluster and black shadow. maybe make zyphr 19, blair 19, aidan 23? 24? and leon 20
Fine, I'll increase the ages, but not too much. I don't want a 20 year old lead character livin' with his mother.
EDIT: DAMNIT I just looked at my game and leon is actually supposed to be 20 lol.
Here's the title screen to my Game, createrd by Deuresco.
sweet my title screen :lol: so what do you guys think?
I think people are done with my game before they started lol.
i think so, no ones posting anymore cept me and you...knobs(LOL :lol:)
Nah. keep going. People just aren't as active in this part of the forums.
ok sweet, well either me or Riku will keep ya updated, we live right close and we both work on his game so if anything new comes up either me or him will post it.
Sounds good guys
yeah, rikus the main guy, but when i come over i look over stuff he'll fill me in and i make animations, maps, etc. so yeah we'll keep ya updated
Hahah!... Don't mind me, I'm high on paint fumes right now... But still, MY GAME IS GOOD...to me and deuresco.
Good Luck guys i've had the same trouble with Game name / Names
The titl looks good.
Thanks. But I can't really take credit. It was made by deuresco... And deuresco, you do NOT make animations for me! I make my own thank you very much... But you do make maps... kinda. You improve on mine... Which can't be too hard cuz mine suck.
EDIT: TYPO FIXEEEDD
alright, but i will if you want, and cool you like my title. i think it sucks arse but thats just me, i need a better background...not just all black. any ideas?
Yeah, and I haven't heard any suggestions for names yet.
well hopefully when we do, we'll get a good one.
I'll try to think of a name! :D Just, I need to know what the title needs to be focused on. Does it still need to contain "Elemental" or something of the sort?
well unless riku changed his mind it does NOT have to have elemental in it. cuz the original idea was that each character had an element, but we said screw it and havnt thought of a good name. basically read the synopsis and get back to us. ill be on for another 2 hours and riku will probly be on as well. so just ANY names you think of post em and we'll write em all down.
"Dr. Ling's Quest for the Evil Plasma Blade" >:]
Nawww... Jk. Umm..... Only idea is "Plasmic Rupture." XP
that sounds kinda cool...ill give riku a call. 1 sec
Plasmic Rupture actually isn't bad! Lol. Mr. Ling isn't a doctor though... But I'll definately keep Plasmic Rupture in mind.
yeah, thats a pretty decent name considering its us! lol riku'll keep that in mind and ill make a new title if he wants me to

HE IS A DOKTOR! XD Also, I might try to think of more names but since the game kind of focuses on the plasma sword, they'll all contain the word Plasma so that'd pretty gay. XD
Yeah... So if anyone thinks of any other names, please let me know. If you don't wanna post it, just email it to me at sean_robichaud@hotmail.com
People are going to want to boost their post counts. XD 2 more.
"Plasma Atrocity"
"Plasmic Pandemonium" (alliteration! :D)
I like Plasmic Pandemonium...
same, that ones pretty good
me and riku have decided to split the credit 60-40 for him, cuz he made the main idea but ive made alot as well. also i dont think rikus using any scripts...
I am so -_-... Just not many... However, Mastermoo, It's the Plasma BLADE, and Mr. Ling is NOT a doctor >:(
what scripts are you using? the lvl up one? cuz thats blizz's

Well sooorry.... >_> I had memory problems some/lots/most of the times. And the second time about Mr. Ling being a docktor was a joke. The first time was I just didn't know.
lol i dont mind, riku might but w/e just some fun right
Quotemade my deuresco
That grabbed my eyes.
Keep going with it. It's gonna turn out great.
thx, we'll be sure to keep it up
Ahhh! I got another name: "Plasmic Paramour" Paramour means like super duper evil. I learned it in class while we were reading "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
I don't think paramour will appeal to too many people as the definition probably isn't too well known.
Yeah, but that makes it sound a little more cooler that way. XD
uh...NO, i dont think anyone is gonna know what the flip paramour means.
no offense though
Lol, nice one Deuresco. Yes, Mastermoo, it does make it sound cool. But the meaning goes unknown, so I'm afraid I can't use that one. Right now I'm torn between Plasmic Rupture and Plasmic Pandemonium... But I want at least one othet good name before I make a poll topic.
i say we go with Plasmic Pandemoniom , cuz in the game everythings gettin outta wack cuz of the blade, so thats my vote. but of course its up to riku, he made the original game, i just helped out alot. but he'll be in charge of picking a name
Yeah... But seriously, I need one more decent name then I'm making a poll topic.
Here are some screens of the Blood Wolf's Cave. The first two were made by Deuresco. The last one was made by me, and me alone.

I hope you enjoy my beautiful small room and Deuresco's beautiful complex of tunnels.
The paths seem to restricted. And to square. And theres some mapping errors on that bottom one.
I know my bottom one sucks, but how are they square? You should've seen how square they were before Deuresco edited them!
In the first two, try to make them a little wider and make it more full. They aren't square, however.
wider you say? alright im on it! once i get back to riku's
I can make them wider easily. And Deuresco, I TOLD you I could edit my scripts without screwing things up!
alright but dont make them gay lookin'
I'm not gunna screw up my own game man! I'm just making the paths wider.
lol, alright
Just something to put out there: Try not to have a conversation with posts. Just use PMs or AIM or something.
OK, sorry.
sorry bout that
I thought of a cool new name! I think Plasmic Anarchy might be cool.
Actually... My game's story is starting to change, and three other swords are starting to get involved. So i dunno whether to still call it plasmic something or what...
i think you should try to not change it a whole lot, cuz you told me your were gonna make a game after a prequel and seqeul to this one that talked about the war of 4 blades, so try not to change it to much, so that that game will be that much better
Well what's a game without a twist? This will just change the concept enough to keep it interesting.
alright, just sayin geez...o btw you should put up a demo now.
I'm too far into it to put in a demo. Or... I think I am. Doesn't it have to be under 45 mins?
no...im 80% sure
I haven't seen a limit to how long the demo can be, only a minimum of 15/30 minutes.
there ya go riku! post a demo!
I think with a demo, this might be able to be moved into the main projects board, instead of new projects.
that would be pretty cool, ive got a copy of the game but riku took the scripts out, so i guess i could do that then add a little END DEMO thing when its at the part where it just stops....
Yeah, please do that for me.
riku, im your second in command, so 1 demo coming up, i should have it done by tonight.
Which now is not happening... Guys we'll have a demo up by the end of this weekend.
ok so the problem is, i made pictures for the credits and stuff. i imported them but when i click the show picture thing, the pictures are getting cut off at the top left corner. how do i make it so that the pictures are displayed right in the middle of the screen? the sooner i figure that out the sooner the demo is up.
ok i got the demo all ready to go, i just gotta figure out how to make it work and be downloadable.
tell me how :tpg:
ok demo is already but were not releasing for 2-3 weeks because of (mostly riku's) horrible mapping issues. so were gonna make some of the maps over and make em nicer then we'll release. sorry to the ppl who wanted to try it if there was any ;8
Which I highly doubt... Ah well. Demo will be up in a few weeks, but school is tying me up as I'm almost failing math!
NAME IDEAS ;)
Phantasmal Utopia(probably the coolest name ever)
Eternal Energy Saga (makes for a good series)
Periphial Annihilation 3 (gotta have the three lol)
Force of Fury 5 (hurray for alliteration!)
Frenetic Fantasy 14 (lol XD)
try em out :) maybe ull like em (plasmic doesnt sound like a real word to me lol)
gimme credit if ya use any of em hope i could help 8)
eternal energy saga might be good cuz riku's gonna make a sequel and prequel after this ones done, and he's also thinking of making a game about the war of four blades. so eternal energy saga might be good but its up to riku.
Eternal Energy Saga... I could work with that. But it doesn't QUITE fit the game. It's very good, but it's nod exactly right. Thanks for the great name suggestions though.
Egni Chwedl- Welsh
Energeia Istoria- Greek
Navitas Fabula- Latin
It's always a good back up to consider a name in a different language. The Greek sounds the best.
It's also good to know what the name means before you use it. It like the flow of it though.
They all mean Energy Story
Energy Story eh... Sounds pretty good. I'll be sure to take that into consideration.
