Ideas... no, just ideas...
« on: September 07, 2007, 01:57:40 AM »
I'm not sure where to post this, but these are suggestions for my next game.

After a long struggle, the human kingdom of Gramika has lost the war against the invading Elves. The king has been missing since the siege of the capital began. It is said that he fell, but his body was never found. The Elves now hold the most important roads and cities in their dark grasp. However, instead of exterminating humanity, they seem content to control the lands, and humanity was enslaved. Part of their massive Elven army has taken up position at strategically unimportant positions throughout the land. They seem to be searching for something... or someone. Nobody knows the reason for this strange behavior.

Throughout the realm, the resistance has suffered against the Elven occupiers; there are still human-held fortresses and small military factions on the marches of Gramika. These rebels are in no way united, and their leaders squabble over the succession to the throne of the fallen kingdom. In this time, a nameless traveling Elf has entered the continent and his deeds will decide the future of the realm. You are that traveler. Join your kin, or protect humanity from them and join the rebels.

It's a work in progress, but I hope to come up with some more beginning story. The name of this game is called Legion of Darkness III: The Breath of God. I hope to have a screenshot of the title page soon.

What about Legion of Darkness II and I?

And what about your DAL project?

I'm done with I and II, but I have people who really want to get their hands on the third game in the series.

Oh, and DAL is on hold.

Hmm... no, I guess it isn't. I'll have to search my archives and find it again. It should be in the same folder as two...

BTW, anyone have any suggestions or comments? That was pretty much what I was looking for in the first place...

Suggestion:  Pick one idea and make sure you love it.  Ask yourself if you're willing to pour endless hours into it, night after night.  Ask yourself if it is still going to be fun two years from now.  Ask yourself if you're willing to ignore every single criticism or opinion, both good and bad, about this idea.  Ask yourself if after completion no one ever plays it, you still think it was worth the effort.

If you can answer yes across the board, then it's a great idea and one you should run with.

Those ideas are rather hard to come by. For my RP dudes, I thought for every single one that they're the best thing ever - while with Kronos, I thought he'd only last 2-3 chapters. It turned out to be completely the opposite.

I found Legion of Darkness and the Curse of the Fallen Angel (LOD 1) in my archives folder. It's gonna need quite a bit more work on it before I'm even gonna let anyone see it, though. Now as it stands, it was my first TK game, and it's horrible. I'm just gonna edit that first before I continue.

I guess you could say it's like Dark Age EX, but only the EX part will be the same...

Meh, I released my first game. It's totally bad, but I still love it and I'm proud of it. I hope tons of people will play it and make fun of it for years to come. Razz

Still searching for LOD 2... no luck so far. I wonder where the heck it could have gone? Might have thrown it all down on a disc...

I remember the legion of darkness! I think it was the first game DV soft ever did together! Man, was that a while ago. I think I might still have two, just let me check through my stuff. I'm a bit disoriented with my stuff...

Time for a celebration! CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!
Wait, scratch that, cheese for no one. A celebration can be just as fun if you don\'t like cheese, true?
