[RMXP] Broken Chains

[erenik]

Yo all on rmrk. Recently started an RMXP project so I thought I'd share my thoughts so far.
Forum noob that I am, had to ask friend how to include images in the post, lol.
Probably PG rating at the moment, but not sure.

Broken Chains

Story

Once upon a time in a far away village, a young boy grew up...
As he grew up, he soon wanted to help defend his village, and so he joined the village guard...
[spoiler][/spoiler]
But a time of trouble was approaching fast...
The Kanton Army began scouring the continent for new lands conquer...

This village was one of it's victims, and so it was attacked.
The village guard was struck down in two swift blows and the survivors taken as prisoners.
The boy was lucky to survive.
Or maybe not so lucky now that he may be facing years of torment as a prisoner...

Characters

[spoiler]Alexus:
The protagonist. Has a strong sense of justice and has high hopes for the future, but has much to learn about the evils that exist all over the countryside.

Valeria:
A girl Alexus met when he was younger.
She frequently appears in his dreams.

Elother:
A proudly clad man, with a fierce temper.
He is actually a priest despite his abusive and loud language.
Favors the mace to carry out his divine retribution.

Laurence:
A quiet, lone warrior that earns people's trust with his great axe.
He is (most often) calm and friendly, contrary to his outer appearance.[/spoiler]

Screenshots (only 1 extra so far)

A small part of the Road to Oznam (full map size 200x30 tiles).

Development

[spoiler]Currently using only the resources included in the original XP package.
I figured I should try make a working game (story/content/gameplay) before thinking about extras (customized art/music/scripts).

Only script-parts I have re-written so far are the formulae for calculating damage and healing effects for attacks/skills/items.[/spoiler]

Thanks

Will edit stuff when needed.

05/09/2010: Had to re-install windows, so my 10-20 minute game is gone since I had not backed it up.
Will try and start making a new version of the game, and might make a few things differently (better) this time.
