This is a very basic outline of a story I'm using in an upcoming game. I want you guys to tell me what you think and maybe give me some ideas I haven't thought of. It is mainly in Note form as I want to get my plan solid before I write a long story.

Basic Story

Part 1

In the begining there were 7

6 Demons that controlled the elements. Earth, Air, Fire, Ice, Water, Thunder.

And one man, known as the Great Oracle, that controlled the Light and Dark.

The Oracle and the Demons fought in an epic battle that nearly destoryed the planet.

In the end only the Orcale remained. But the demons still existed. though there bodies were destroyed there
spirits lived on.

The Oracle greatly injured in the battle went to rest and was never seen again. Possibly dead.

Part 2

It was at this point that Mirron saw the rise of three sentient beings.

Man - ability to use natural forces around them (magic)

Verticule - has wings and the ability to fly - master assassins

Graineon - people of the sand - live in vast deserts and are made of sand.


Over the years these three beings grew in harmony with a third of the planet for each of there kingdoms

During this time the demons spirits weaken and there only chance for survival was to attach themselves to
a human.

These 6 humans took control of the demons and gained access to there powers. They were known as Oracle Knights.
They were appointed the postions of protection to the royal family.

As the oracle knights grew old and died there powers passed to the next able host.

They passed the knowledge of how to control the demons within and how there powers didnt work on each other


Part 3


King Tobias is ruling the kingdom of man.

Under his rule the kingdom is flourishing.

A prophecy is foretold that a dark one will come and bring a great war. And only light can stop it.

The six oracle knights prepare themselves




Several Weeks later - Part 4



A woman enters the throne room and claims to be the Oracle of Darkness and that she will claim the kingdom

Magnus Firenze (Oracle of Fire) Challenges her but while his back is turned Izor (Oracle of Ice) Stabs the king
killing him instantly

Izor claims that he is tired of following the rules and that he wants to embrace a more free life and that
the woman can provide it.

Using her powers combined with Izors they freeze the Oracles in Dark Ice

Magnus predicting the attack dives out of the window and runs for his life.

He finds soldiers that are still loyal to the Old Kingdom and a rebellion begins.


The old man that made the prophecy is found dying and brought to the rebel base (Explained Later) and tell
Magnus that the one that can stop the queen can be found on a planet called Earth.



I have more but I want to see what the community thinks of this so far.

Many thanks,

Myself and a friend have started work on an Online Game! The engine is not a problem at all and has been taken care of. The only problem is the graphics! We need some sprite immediately so that work can continue. If we like your work and you have nothing to do then we may ask you to be our dedicated spriter but that is a long way of. Please read on for how you can help!


You may remember seeing a topic on here that was made by Chumbucket that had a very large Open Source sprite sheet. Well I'm using these sprites for a game and I need some hats and weapons!

The game is Platform Style.

News - I just need the buildings. At The min they are the most important thing!

Hats need to be fitted to the template below. They need to be Medieval Themed as the game is set in that time period. However I'm willing to accept some fun item that are from our time period. All hats must be accompanied with a 28 x 28 Inventory icon.

As for weapon you can make them pretty much any size, so long as there Medieval themed. I can do the animations so no need to worry about it. Once again I would like an inventory icon with it.

I also need some buildings and a tile set to use.

Tile sets need to be very detailed as I wish to have a landscape in my game that is breathtaking and very dynamic.

As for the building. For size just do the door based off the character's height then make in proportional. I want them very detailed as well. For inspiration, think Bowerstone in Fable 2. Building that I urgently need are : -

Stalls - Just an empty stall
Shop - General Store, Fish Shop, Hat Shop and Pet Shop
Fountain
Clock Tower - very tall
City Cate
House - A Couple of general houses
Blacksmith
Lumber Yard

This game will be online and there will be a great rewards for those that help. So heres the credit system : -

10 Credits = Extra 5000 Gold Ingame

20 Credits = Extra 10000 Gold Ingame

30 Credits = Name in Credits

40 Credits = NPC named after you

50 Credits = Important NPC named after you

60 Credits = Village name based of yours - E.G Name = Gloom - Village = Gloomsville

70 Credits = City named based of yours

80 Credits = Your a Faction Boss

90 Credits = Special Weapons, custom for you!

100 Credits = Deity is named after you!

120 Credits = Your a king of a city!

120+ Credits = We'll Talk

*Ancients were the original sentient being's of the planet. They had extreme powers and were greatly feared

Okay here is the character Template.




Hats are worth +5 Credits

Weapons are +7 Credits

Buildings are worth +10 Credits

Tile set is worth +20 Credits

Anything in italics is worth an additional +5 Credits!

Okay this may be a stupid question but hey a question needs an answer.

Or would they be the same?

Many thanks!

Have fun

Okay so im trying to make it so that the player can create a character with one of the pre-set facial expressions and then they can have that expression with any eye colour. I already have certain things being saved to an .ini file so i would like to save the choice to that but the problem im having is how to make the creation system itself.

I know how to make it so that if they pick face 1 then it will load that but how can i make it so that if they pick face 1 and colour 5 the game will know what to load. I have the same facial expressions in one sprite and then each colour is a different sub image so i would have a guess that the code would be something like :- (also when i think about code i say it in English not GML)

If say you pick face one and colour five then the global.head would be equal to spr_head1 subimage 5. How would you could this with up to nearly 8 expression and 5 colour per face.

Ty in advance,

Grim
