Spoiler: Story

The planet of Certel, peaceful by nature, holds a dark secret known only to a certain few. The planet was once covered by shadow, a shadow that threatened to destory the world. The Evil Rulers of Certel, the Derges, used their awesome ability in magic to forge what are now called the Spirit Stones, which allowed them to achieve awesome, and terrible power. Using this power they waged war against the other peoples of Certel. One by one kingdoms fell to the Derges. By using the power of an all-powerful Spirit Stone, the Mind stone, the Derges were able to conquer even the most advanced civilization. All seemed lost but for a brave few who sought out to end the war by calling on the power of the 9 elementals of their planet. The elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Ice, Life, Thunder, Light and Dark. Using the power of the elementals, the Derges were defeated and order restored to the world.

Thousands of years later, the Derges have all but become extinct. The remaining races, the Humans, Forip, Frelans, and Katze, live in harmony. The spirit stones have been reproduced in order to feed the fear of war into the world. The planet is reaching its highpoint in its life. People have all but forgotten of the hardships of thousands of years before and have continued to live their lives. But after experiencing a life-changing attack on her village, one girl's life will never be the same. Her adventure will lead her to the fartest reaches of the world, and reveal a plot to unbelievable to imagine.

The story's a bit vague. While I can understand your desire to keep some things quiet, you've got to give people enough to draw them in.

Also, you've said next to nothing about your characters. Right now they're simply a bunch of faces and stats. It would be a good idea to add a small bio, showing off a bit of their personality without giving away any surprises.

 

[polik]

Ah ok then I just typed this up 20 minutes before going to work yesterday and i really havent gotten much time to edit it so ill get right to it

 

[Mr.Mo]

I liked the story, and yeah, you can give a little more about the characters.

Also, nature is not an element. Nature is made of the elements earth, water, and wind. Thats what I think atleast.

The 3rd screen looks interesting but 2nd and 4th screens look dull. Try to add rocks to the 4th screen and try to add elevation and some indents to the second one.

 

[Draken]

Isn't nature everything that isn't man-made?

 

[munin]

The second and fourth screens/maps need more detail. And I don't really like the color of the window you're using, it's not too pleasing at least to me.

The story seems to have potential though. I hope we can see more from this soon.

@sharktooth: OK! Ill get to work on the character bios right now... Also, Im describing nature as in living things, trees, animals, etc. I guess I actually could call it life... hmm ill do that.

@munin: the 2nd screen is the battle system, i guess i could make it more elaborate. Tell you the truth... I really dont like my window skin either. I might go back to my original purple and silver one.

thanks for the tips. btw

 

[Jstreet]

What's up with Vincent and the bright tile he is sitting on?

 

[polik]

ah im still working on fixing minor problems with that map. i did it at 4AM so yeah i wasnt thinking ill fix it
