I plan for this to be at least 2 - 3 games big. This is my first really big project, and I'm really excited to finally release some back story.
There was once a time where all races lived together in prosperity. And all were ready to lend a helping hand to a neighbor, or friend. All was peaceful on Endrica**, until the day when a strange crystal was found in the ruins of an abandoned city, the era of the city was unknown. At first the crystal was cast aside,thought of as a small trinket. But this "trinket" was found to contain large amounts of magical power, thought to be lost in the Dark Ages. But alas when the truth was discovered it was too late. The crystal had fallen into the hands of a corrupt Human, Falahrl. Falahrl threw the world into an Era of Hate through manipulation of the races. This manipulation caused a world war that lasted for many decades. As the war went on, people grew weary from the destruction, and chaos around them. Many gave up on life, others continued fighting in hopes of peace between the races once again. Alas, this "Peace" never came, just endless bloodshed. After a century of fighting, a small group of Humans emerged from the shadows. This group became known as "The Crystal Braves". These people put an end to Falahrl's reign, but not an end to the fighting. So the "Braves" sundered the world with the power of the crystal, essentially creating an entirely new world. With the creation of the New World, the "Braves" divided the crystal into nine shards, which were hidden in nine remote places in the world. Prosperity and equality were eternal. All races lived happily among each other again. The War was over and quickly forgotten. It has been over 200 cycles* since these events. The crystal, Falahrl, the War. All were forgotten....until a shard was discovered. Our story begins here, with a young man , no more than 17 Cycles old. What he didn't know was, his story was rapidly unfolding.
*Cycles is just another word for years. One cycle is equivalent to 1 revolution around the sun.
**Endrica was a name given to the sundered world, formerly known as Earth.
Characters:
Taka
Age: 17 cycles old
Gender: Male
The main protagonist in this story. Taka was born into a poor family in the city of Galesh. At the beginning of Taka's 7th Cycle, both his parents were killed when a Building toppled over, on top of them. The force that caused the building to collapse was unknown. Shortly after his parent's death, Taka was taken in by his uncle. On the eve of Taka's 17th Cycle, his uncle informed him that he would begin his "Training", and this is where our story begins....
Sadly, I have yet to start making this, mainly because of lack of experiance in making sprites,but I will have some concept art up shortly.
For Sure Game Elements:
