Lotc : The Game - Dev Blog 1

[xXTheDeveloperXx 25]

As you may have heard 5 minutes ago, I am working on a new 2d RPG game. It's called

LOTC : THE GAME

Part 1 - The Elendil Storm

You may think I'm joking, but it's true. I am very serious and I've spent a good 7 hours on it already. I am using the RPG maker engine, and I'm shooting for 3 hours of real game time. This is not trolling at all, I am very serious. The game is going to be very similar to the old final fantasies mixed with Pokemon and any old or indie pixel RPGs. I have not much, mostly only the structure done but seeing how James was spoiling it early I decided to make this. To create some hype, I am releasing the rough back story. Do not hate, it is all for fun.

"Anthos was the birthplace of their reign. The Adunian race, a minority until then. Wicked and twisted, few were able to stay pure to their breed. In the early history, heroes arose from their wake. Rymeul, Konrad, Eoghan and Godric. They kept their kind pure, kept them at peace. That soon went away as he came to power. The first of many dark wizards to rule the Adunian race. His name was Lachlan Mor, the eater of hearts. He exiled the heroes to Oren, and used his dark power to control the peasant Adunians minds. After generations of war, the armies of Abresi and the Carrions were able to break up the evil Lachlan reign. Very few Adunians survived, Darren Armas, Faiz Kharadeen and Corbbet VanCleef to name a few. However, as the evil Harbingers of the North conquered Dwarf land, they took the time to install a puppet into the heart of Anthos. A new Adunian King, known as Chikaea Elendil. Evil to the bones, she was granted the powers of the skygods. Adunia became too powerful, the Dwarves bent to her knees in fear of smite. She became all too powerful. It was her who struck the mighty hammer which split Anthos, forcing the citizens to flee to the new realm of the Fringe. No one could hold her back but one. A prophecy told by seers all across that a new Adunahkin will arise, whom will defeat Chikaea once and for all. That’s where you come in, you will make your application."

I've got a script for the engine that will allow for character creation, so you will be able to play as your main character! I'm also thinking of creating some sort of from to sign up to maybe see your character as a NPC! Really, not much is to be known yet. I want to keep a lot of it secret. But here is a screenshot of what the world map might look like, I've only put about 5 minutes into it but yolo.

As you can see, it's roguh right now. The big evil castle up top is the Dwarf lands and down to the left is Oren capitol. It is loosely based off the Fringe map if you can tell. It might be a bit off since I haven't been on LotC in 4 months. Expect a lot more detail to the map however.

More information coming later this week.

[Lathros 377]

You have to implement Industry, comrade.

[The Best Basileus 97]

I'd love to provide help in any area necessary. I've got experience with Adunia in Asulon, the time this is based on. Also, I'd love to streamline the dialogue (nothing gets me more than bad scripting... kind of off-putting).

Put in each area currently in the Fringe, and include some of the major events/ mini quests(events) that we have had.

Examples:

-The plague

-Halflings in need of help with a lost child taken by the forces of the antagonist(Fumble;P)

-Defeating a corruption for the druids

-beat a dwarf in drinking(or halfling)

 

Now some other ideas for NPC are healers(Doubled as save points if you want). get the doctor/ healer of each nation as the NPC. For this, i would suggest traveling to each nation IG to find out who they are, what the area looks like, etc.  Send me a PM if you want any help writing the NPC dialogue or further info about the ideas.

Or, We could massacre the evil Heretical Druid Scum, Killing A tribe of cannibalistic Darkies and breaking a Dwarf's Knees.
