The Sky Of Order

I had a brainstorm a few days ago - I've had these custom superheroes I made about a year ago with UGO's Heromachine - and I thought to try and put them into a game.

I hope that this satisfies you somewhat.

By the way, for this project, I still need:

A decent mapper.
A decent spriter.
And a decent scripter.

Story (As Far As I Am Thinking It Up)

We all have that childish desire, even if it is buried deep inside us, beyond the eyes of any onlooker, to become a superhero - or a supervillain.

Thirteen years in the future, Joseph (Joey) Calvin, is rummaging through his late father's belongings, when he finds a dusty box. He is about to open it, when bullets start ricocheting off the walls, and three armed thieves appear behind him. Joey isn't that surprised - his father was involved in many illegal activities. He takes the box, and leaves his alcoholic half-brother behind to die.

After ditching two of the thieves and the snipers, Joey runs into an alley, the remaining thief hot on his trail. Then, as Joey realises it's a dead end, he silently begs for the thief not to hurt him.

A purple flash blinds Joey, and a huge tremor begins to rumble under his feet. Two teenagers appear in front of him, one garbed in green and brown and holding a large, futuristic machine gun, the other in a tight purple nylon outfit. They immediately kill the thief and the one in green and brown returns underground, and the purple one grabs him and teleports.

Characters

BEWARE! Some of the names are quite bad and stupid - if not frighteningly cliché. These will either stay or go depending on your opinion.

Saviours Of The Order:

Tribolt:

Tribolt is Joey Calvin, the main protagonist of the game. He is popular, and around the age of 14.

His powers enable him to manipulate and create lightning. The name is derived from the fact that he can do three things with lightning:

Control the kinetic movements.
Absorb it.
Create it.


Gaia

Gaia is the green and brown garbed teenager in the story above. Also, he becomes Joey's best friend in the Saviours. He's laid-back, fun, and enjoys company.

His powers enable him to control earth & rock, as well as nature.

Flare

Flare is Joey's rival within the Saviours. He lives and works alone, and because of Joey's attempts to become friendly with him, he becomes increasingly angry. He's hot-headed and easy to anger.

His powers enable him to create, manipulate and absorb fire and heat.

Psishine

Will update later.

Hades' Army

Hades

Hades leads this organisation. Full of himself and often drunk with power, he wields a large claymore.

His powers are widespread. As well as being able to absorb other peoples' powers through technology (with a great deduction to his energy, and paining him), he could originally be incredibly agile, and control the true essence of darkness.

Void

Joey's arch-nemesis and ex-best friend. Void did not obtain his powers through natural means - Hades found him, unlocked his secrets, and discovered that he was (at that time) Joey's best friend. Then, he channeled some of his own power into Void, enabling him to do the following.

Cut rips through the time-space continuum and become the only person in the universe to direct himself through the continuum into other points in space (and later time).

Tornado

Will update later.

Reaper

Will update later.


Neutral Characters

Cobra/Osiris

Will update later.

Neutron

Will update later.


More characters to come, for all sides.

Gameplay

Gameplay is going to be fun, and at the beginning, you choose who you want to be:

The Saviours Of The Order
Hades' Army
Neutral

Battle is going to be turn-based, and side-on. I am also going to try and make it so that to perform certain abilities, the player must enter a series of codes, or press a certain button when the bar is in the middle.

So, what do you think?

It needs a LOT of work, that's definite, but I think the general idea... well, personally, I don't think it's that bad.

Well, do you have any screenshots of the game?
People will be more interested if there's already an existing graphical aspect of the game.

I'm good at spriting non-human/humanoid objects.
I already have a few flower-sprites done.
Check the resources page and look for it.
