Retribution: A Rogue's Story

Story:
A long time ago...
something...something really bad happened! Ya!
Now go do something about it!

If your still reading, you got my crude attempt at humor 

Anyway.....
The Real Story:
In the town of Jord, all has been long peaceful. This coastal town has been long isolated from the ravages across the mountain range that seperates it from the rest of the island, but this was about to change.

The hunters of Jord leave on a routine hunting party to gather food for the town's annual feast, and while they are out, everything changes. An army of the <name pending> kingdom descended upon the town, setting it alight and killing its inhabitants. The hunting band returned to their burning home, their commander killed, and the other two captured, and forced to join the army of the kingdom that had destroyed their lives.

Will they gain revenge? Or will they become what they hate most?

Part of the Opening Scene


Some Random Villager in Jord Village (seriously, she has no real importance)


The first real cutscene that has its own map, mainly because of number of events.


The World Map, Jord Village is on the left.

-Slipknot's Message System

You suffer from empty map syndrome. Try reading one of Zhuge Liangs tutorials.

[Malson]

My only complaint is that some of your tilesets don't match in style. Your world map looks nothing like the town, stylistically.

I agree with him. Your mapping is to empty, and the facesets dosen't fit in the window.
read these.

Looks pretty good. You just need to add more stuff lying around like the others said. The game might have a good story, but how it looks it =ly important. I think anyway. But keep it up and good luck.

IT IS DONE! The Playable Intro is out there (Without RTP attached, that will come with next version, I promise!!!!)

A few other things:
-I merged several tilesets to create a tileset for Jord Village so it looks like the one on the world map (it does!)
-The beach was abolished and redone as a seperate map (YAY!!!!)
-None of the current screenies show true works (everything in them has been changed some way)
-I will add some more people to Jord..eventually
-The demo is supposed to end when you meet the King...THIS IS NOT A BUG
-The Intro is roughly 3+ minutes long (Thats with me skipping most messages and using ctrl-move)
-I am open to critizim, but flames will be burnt with my flamethrower (which is apropriate, lol)
