Hey ho all from a newbie,
I have been working on a project in rm2k since 2000, and it is nearly 100% complete!!
A little about myself... Well, I grew up on an Atari 2600 playing Kangaroo, Asteroids and Pitfall. To this day Final Fantasy 6 (Japan) is the best role playing story ever told, and the game I started back in 2000 is almost a true reflection of my own story of growing up and the realization of how the world actually works, and not what you are told from childhood.
Title is-
GALER: Plague of Heroes
The style of this game plays like a traditional Final Fantasy, however I added a survival horror aspect to this one, hopefully creating a very unique and memorable game experience!! I took an actually Dungeons and Dragons campaign, that I DM'ed, back from 1995-1998, that my PC's and I never got to finish. The beginning of my game takes place from the hopeful ending that my PC's would have possibly played through if they had survived. This is the premise.
A story book kind of narration follows: And word is spreading that some kind of epidemic has spread across the country side, and the king had sent two scouts out to a neighboring city to investigate. There is a cinematic cut scene, where it shows a city of the dead devouring whatever is left of the citizens inside, starting with the two scouts.
The game begins as you play a captain of the guards in following up with the missing scouts. A meeting is drawn up, and a plan is started to build a physical barricade outside the city limits, in the hopes that people being infected can not spread the disease to your home town.
As the story unfolds, a wise soul awakens the minds of both the good and evil hearted individuals left on the planet, and urges them to join together in the promises that he can provide answers to the apocalypse. As you jump from character to character, each with a very detailed background and likable in their own right, you begin making your way to this one last kingdom still standing. For hope. Once there, and they are confronted with the truth about what is actually happening to the world, each character then has to deal with their own religious beliefs, or character imperfections, in order to cope with surviving. The characters, like I mentioned, are both good and evil, and come at odds with each other a lot through the story. Tons of character subplots, depending on which characters you keep in your party, and which you leave behind to defend all that you have.
Will not go into any more detail as of now, but please know that screenshots and demo videos are coming shortly!
