Fortune of Destruction


​

ChaoticLapras here, with the feedback thread of my new game – Fortune of Destruction!


Story Synopsis:

Spoiler:

Far away, in a land hidden from waking eyes, an evil mage is attempting to destroy the peace. His name is Partedray, but is dreaded throughout the land, rarely spoken because of fear...


He has killed the emperor, who ruled over the seven kingdoms, and intends to take the land for himself. But, three people are prepared to fight him, and quest to remove him from his throne, forever! They meet in the village of one adventurer (John), named Mothgroll, and speak to the elder for guidance.


However, as they emerge from his house, two skeletons are outside, and the adventurers are defeated, but are thrown aside within an inch of their life! The skeletons destroy the house, then leave, with the adventurers in pursuit...

World Development:

Spoiler:

(The first kingdom is almost complete, the villages and stuff in it aren't all implemented yet, so I'm not going to mention them...)


Five kingdoms create a pentagon, with a huge fortress in the centre. Magic flows between the kingdoms, powering all magic used within this mystical land.


Our adventurers start in a small, secluded mountain village of the name Mothgroll, boasting but ten residents to its name. This small hamlet is primarily made of wood, with small dirt paths leading to each house. A small stream runs through the village, which travels across the land into the next kingdom.


The capital of this kingdom is named Kirbshire, as is the kingdom. It is unique in the land, being the only capital situated at the edge of it's kingdom. It is a sprawling fortress, containing many a house, and a huge castle at the back. Stone ground is here, and buildings are made of stone and brick – this is more developed than Mothgroll.


However, in this kingdom, not all is well. A haunted forest separates Mothgroll from the rest of the kingdom, and a valley is the only way to access Kirbshire, and is full of bandits!


But these are not all of the dangers here. A tall, dark tower sits in the north, surrounded by a moat of lava. Here is the fort of the Skeleton Lord, who seems to be in league with Partedray...

Character Descriptions:

Spoiler:

John: A young man whose dream is to become a master swordsman. He has fine green hair, and piercing blue eyes. He is the only adventurer to live in Mothgroll, where the adventure starts. He is quite quiet, but confidently leads the team.


Madison: A young travelling priestess, who is lending her magical powers to the destruction of the mage. She was orphaned as a child, and was taken in by the priestesses of (don't have a name for this kingdom). She has messy blonde hair, that is often pinned back, and brown eyes. She worries a lot, and often overreacts. She doesn't really like Shade much, as she is an assassin.


Shade: The master assassin. Anyone whose death needs arranging sends for Shade, but they don't often get her... Little is known about this secretive girl, but she wields two daggers like a god. She has sensible, straight black hair, and is eager to adventure, and often guides the team.


Partedray: An evil mage who wishes to destroy the magic in the land, and rule over all. No one has ever looked upon him, and survived...

That's really all so far – there will be other characters as time goes on, but only about one hour of the game is made (I think it will total eight), so I haven't got much done. The Kirbshire quests will be done later, I'm currently finishing up what I've done, and checking for little bugs. These will all be updated as time goes on. Now for my screenshots...

That's it for now! I'm working on a demo for you guys, which should be out early February, at the latest!


Someone I know in real life is testing this, and palladinthug is (hopefully) going to as well!

UPDATE: I have almost completed the demo. The demo will be released by the 7th of Feb.

Is this a Pokemon game?

It looks great, and I'd love to play it!

Just curious as to why you chose this board of all places.

 

[Kieran_90]

No this is not a pokemon game. Though, I'm considering making one in the future.

Update: The demo is almost finished, I'm aiming to post it before 7th of Feb!

I posted it on PC because I use this board lol, but it's also on another forum, specifically for the engine.

 

[northrone]

Fair enough, I'm excited to play it when it comes out!

This seems good, but if you want to be 100% original, you should look into doing your own graphics, or finding someone who's willing to help.
It's not a must have, it just looks better than the defaults.

I'd downvote this post if it were possible. Graphics aren't everything, there's nothing wrong with using the default graphics which talented artists put time and effort into making, and chaoticlapras didn't even say he wanted to be "100% original" or was otherwise displeased with the graphics.

I'm just happy to see a non-Pokémon game in here.
