Spoiler for:
  For centuries, the world of Sios was ruled under a peaceful republic. There was barely any violence at all and the fear of war never would
cross a person's mind. That is, until the day Umbra appeared.

UMBRA
     Umbra is an invisible, mysterious, demonic organization who uses dark magic to plauge the people of the world. They use threats on innocent lives
and destruction upon cities in order to make the Republic obey them. The order that held the world together is now a hostage of
what people say is "Satan himself".
 
GHOST CORPS
     Soon after Umbra stormed into the world, the Chancellor of the Republic pushed to create a resistance group known as the Ghost Corps. Led
by Republic Military Leader Josh Marks, it's purpose was to uncover Umbra's secrets, reveal their identities, and bring them to justice. Umbra,
however, caught on to this resistance's creation early on and demanded it's immediant disbanment. The Chancellor had no choice but to
comply. Josh, however, was not about to let his rebellion fall apart. He continued leading the Ghost Corps on his own and kept it's headquarters
a secret even from the Chancellor. The Ghost Corps are now the only organized group against Umbra.

WATCHERS
     There are many who support Umbra. Some keep it to themselves and some would go as far as to die for Umbra's cause. These people are
known as Watchers.
     Since coming into contact with Umbra is virtualy impossible for the Ghost Corps, the Watchers are their main enemy.

VELES
     There are others out trying to stop Umbra as well. They, however, fight by themselves. These loners are known as Veles. Veles usually don't
get along with each other and are constantly killing one another. To Veles, this whole thing is a race, with Umbra at the finishline.

I plan to have the complete first chapter finished by either September or October. The past few days i've been going back and changing much of the dialouge in the cutscenes to make it better. There's also going to be a title change very soon too.

Okay. After like...forever. I finally got around to updating this. Also, this must have gotten moved into the 2k/2k3 projects section by mistake. :P It's an XP game. One of the mods should probably move it. Haha.

Title: Re: Dark Horizon
Post by: modern algebra on February 20, 2008, 04:31:58 AM
XP game eh? Sorry about that. I'll move it

And yeah, reporting is for posts that you are offended by/ think is breaking the rules, etc... If you need a mod feel free to PM one. You should be able to move your own topics though

Title: Re: Dark Horizon
Post by: sithlord999 on February 23, 2008, 04:56:47 AM
Just added two chapter two screens. They, of course, can change at anytime since I'm still writing the script. Haha. Besides that, not much else has gotten done. One plus is that I got some new character art to add to my library by ripping the trial demo for Studio E.GO's new game CrossXStreet today. XD

XD I'm too lazy to make an animated pic like the ToF user bar. lol I think mine are just gonna stay as is for now.

In development related news, I was lazy the past few days.  :P And when I'm lazy, the only thing that gets any progress is the audio department.  ;D I'm thinking about releasing a CH1 Half-finished beta in another week or so, but I need to make some more progress in order to do that...
Title: Re: Dark Horizon (MASSIVE CHANGES!)

ZOMG the LAG! O_O

lol, use a hand held recorder, it's much better with the audio on time, and more so without the 5 frame pauses everywhere x.x

lol, they need to make better desktop recorders :P
Title: Re: Dark Horizon (BETA OP VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!)
Post by: sithlord999 on April 15, 2008, 01:55:39 AM
Actually...I think the timing at the end was a little better WITH lag. XD I would have used a video camera, but I didn't have one available.
Title: Re: Dark Horizon (BETA OP VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!)
Post by: Reives on April 15, 2008, 08:26:38 PM
I really like that song you selected for the intro. The screen tones added a nice touch, but I think having the characters move around during the attacks and etc. would make it feel more intense. :) Keep it up!
Title: Re: Dark Horizon (BETA OP VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!)
Post by: sithlord999 on April 16, 2008, 12:14:55 AM
Thanks Reives! Yeah, I see what you mean. This was my first time attempting anything like this. Haha. I'm almost afraid to change anything like that now though. I have it timed so well with the music...XD

In game related news, I messed around for awhile in Photoshop and made myself a new logo. XD The thread section titles also have new graphics.

Sadly, I'm gonna have to change the release date again...:P I do this waaaay to much...Anyway, release date is now Spring TBA 2008. I don't want to put an exact date because it would probably just change like it has in the past. Haha.

Post by: sithlord999 on May 01, 2008, 01:32:24 AM
Well, I had a burst of inspiration (Have no idea where it came from...XD) and I got a lot of things done. Chapter 1 is now ALMOST ready for release.

I also updated the screenshots. One was replaced, and two are completly new screens.

Huge thanks to monkeydlu for putting together the evented title screen for me. XD Though it might now look so special in the screenshot, in-game, it's animated with background pictures fading in and out.

Now, I'm gonna set a guess release date for May 9th...I'm hoping I can get done what I need to by then, but who knows...

@monkeydlu: I decided that your Oreo icon will be used for a special secret item gained by defeating the optional Avion cameo boss! XD
Title: Re: Dark Horizon

I find that Oreo too funny.
Title: Re: Dark Horizon
Post by: sithlord999 on May 01, 2008, 08:00:18 PM
Thanks for your support! :)

Also, does anyone think that 10 minutes worth of cutscenes at the beginning is too long?
Title: Re: Dark Horizon
Post by: Karo Rushe on May 01, 2008, 09:33:40 PM
May depend, I mean, everyone has their taste. =< It would really depend in my opinion.
Title: Re: Dark Horizon (Chapter One BETA Version)
Post by: sithlord999 on May 03, 2008, 05:16:50 AM
Well. I went ahead and released a beta version of Chapter 1: Identity. Please report any bugs you might find. :) Chapter one is about 30 Minutes in length.
Title: Re: Dark Horizon
Post by: sithlord999 on May 08, 2008, 11:41:31 PM
As you noticed, I took down the CH1 download link a few days ago. Don't worry. It'll be back soon. XD

Anyway, things are coming along pretty smoothly. Chapter One is pretty much bug-free, but I'm still working out a few things. Expect the final release very soon. :)

One of the big changes in Chapter One is a new opening song. I decided to change it to Message #9 by Tomoko Tame. You can listen to it here to see what you think of it: Link (http://www.imeem.com/people/pxuHs/music/6JeODqh5/tomoko_tane_message_9/)

Visual wise, the opening will be pretty much the same however.

Thanks! :) All credit goes to Monkeydlu for bringing my title screen design to life. XD The title screen was 100% evented by him. I basicly just came up with the original design and gave him all the graphics.

Glad you liked the intro as well! :) I learned a good bit about events making it. XD

Hope you enjoy the rest too.

Thanks everyone.  :)

I'm going to try to have everything fixed up in chapter one and release chapter two by the middle of the month. I need to start watching the filesize though. Right now, the project folder with every resource for every chapter is about 100MB. *Glares at the audio folder* >_>

Post by: sithlord999 on July 22, 2008, 08:20:47 PM
Wow...It's been so long since I've had an update. :P

Anyway, the second chapter is coming along very...slowly...I went back and remade the first scene in chapter one (the one on the bridge) and Monkeydlu (aka Code Geass XD) agreed to make an animated intro for me. :D Because of that, the mapped one is completely obsolete and I took down the YouTube link. However, it's still on YouTube if you want to track it down for whatever reason. XD

Also, I added new screenshots and took down the ones that were no longer in the game.

If you have a Dark Horizon userbar in your sig, please make sure the URL it links to is working. If not, then update your sig with the current URL I have on them.

I guess that's about it. I don't want to say a release date for Chapter Two because I probably won't make it in time. :P I'll just say...before the begining of September. At any rate, I recommend anyone who hasn't played yet to wait until then. I'm still keeping the Chapter One link up though.

... Why am I unable to complete even the very first battle?!

If I could finish it, just once, I'd be happy... Well, without watching the Game Over screen, that is...

Oh well, I guess it ain't meant to be played by this person, who have been following the progress on this game, ever since it was named Shadows of the Empire... Good times...

Post by: Ruzu on November 21, 2008, 03:49:53 AM
Come on Greenie, its been awhile now. I thought you would've beaten it by now, and I guess I should say that the mecha scorpion battle was easy it hit me only once.
Title: Re: Dark Horizon (Chapter Two - Out Now!)
Post by: Green Dragon on November 21, 2008, 07:41:36 AM
... I finally managed to beat it... Both chapters...  All the bosses... Cain and Cara... lvl 10...Farmingness... High...  Boss difficulty... easy... boredom... low...

Wow...lol I'm guessing you prefered SOTE over the current. I was suprissed that one was liked as well as it was. I didn't really think the plot I had written for it was very good, which was one of the reasons I completly re-did it.

Was the first battle really that difficult? You have some healing items to start out with, but if it really was hard, then I'll consider making that one a little easier. I've been getting mixed reactions from different people when it came to the difficulty. :/ I kinda want it to gradually get harder as it goes along, but without getting really hard as DH is more story-oriented than gameplay-oriented.
Title: Re: Dark Horizon (Chapter Two - Out Now!)
Post by: Green Dragon on November 22, 2008, 11:42:50 AM
For me, it was. I don't have the patience, waiting for that bar to fill up... So I mainly just used a normal attack, lol. Then, I finally found out the effectiveness of skills... When I hadf figured that out, I had no problems, at all... Healing items? I dind't know THAT! It's probably because I'm one of those, who are used to start out with no items, which means that I don't even bother to check, if I have any.

Anyways, I liked SOTE. Mainly for it's simplicity, but I like this new version, as well.
Title: Re: Dark Horizon (Chapter Two - Out Now!)
Post by: sithlord999 on November 22, 2008, 03:34:00 PM
Yeah, I should probably update the main post saying that you start out with a few items. Others probably didn't know that either. lol I changed to the RTAB battlesystem because people kept telling me I should. I perfer it because it's more fast-paced than the normal sideview I used in SOTE. Anyway, glad you do still like it. Haha. I'll try and work on the difficulty and such for the next release. I've always been horrible at setting up stats, so that's probably the main reason why some battles are sometimes a little too easy.

I was gonna wait to announce this, but I might as well just do it now. This project is POSSIBLY going to be remade for the third and final time. I'm not sure yet though. I've already started working on the remake and if I don't like how it turns out, I'll continue the current version.

@Jikipoiopo: Hmm...Seems like they moved their storage service elsewhere... :( I'll think about re-uploading, but as I said above, it's quite possibly going to be remade.

Post by: sithlord999 on February 17, 2009, 12:50:41 AM
Well, I've decided that I'm gonna take the time to work out some future plot holes and continue with the current version of the game. So no remake afterall. lol The project information post will be revamped soon and I'm gonna work on geting an official site up.
