Black Star (Demo Released)

[SoulScathe]

Black Star is a simple RPG as it is my first RPG project out of a few, I hope. Black Star is a story about how a Human named Salibus has turned into the Lord of the Demons, seeking revenge over the gods of Dalmon for throwing him into poverty after taking the life of his parents. He slays the all the gods except one. The goddess of all life, Soul. She is thrown into the prison inside the Dark Castle of Malitus, Salibus’s Second in command. For years she has been locked up until one day she learns about a person who was washed ashore in Dalmon. With haste, she tries to contact the person, telling him little bits due to the pressed time she has. Soul leaves a Crystal in the person’s hands. The Crystal serves the person as a guide, and a warmth that helps the person. And as one final gift for the time being, she gives him a weapon to fend off the creatures he will encounter in his quest.

                You, the main character, Male or female, have transported to Dalmon after your ship has crashed. You hear the calming and gentle voice of Soul, The goddess of all life. She is in dire need of your help it seems, and she is willing to part ways with ways to help you survive in this unknown world. Along the way you meet with a friendly witch named Elizabeth. She notices your distraught and says that she can help you provided she may escort you to the Witch’s Fountain. With not much else to go, you decide to take up her offer of help, in hopes that she will stay faithful and not betray you.

                Elizabeth is a young witch-in-training. She has heard about what happened to the gods. She has been tasked by her late master to figure out what has happened to them. However, not having the courage, she coops up into her house and just studies witchcraft, until a Person with no clue of where he/she is, enters her house. She realizes that they could possibly help her with her task and offers a fake escort to get to the bottom of this. However, she doesn’t know about the ties the person has with the single live Goddess, Soul…

                The World of Dalmon currently consists of 4 realms in the land. Plains, Snow, Rock/magma, and dessert. This may change in the future but it will stay as it is for now. Dalmon was a great land of power and pride. However one day, the gods seem to just…disappear. Little do most of the people know, but the gods have been killed. And a new threat has risen….

Could you possibly add more in game screen shots other than a character naming screen? I feel that I, along with many others on these forums, often have a process that dictates whether we will try a game or not. For me, I need to see the screenshots. If they look interesting then I will read the bio, and afterwards I will finally try the game. I am curious to see more about what features your project has to offer. Maybe an elaborate town you created or some combat would be nice. Anyways just a suggestion. Seems interesting enough for a first project. Can't wait to see how it'll end up and good luck with the creation!!

Thank you for the tips. Apologies for taking so long to reply, I have been to busy with school to do anything in the rpg or forums.

I shall supply more screen shots as I continue further work. Thank you for the advice.

also it might just be me but that screenshot title "Agate Village Version 1.1" seems a little bare. Maybe add more trees or fences. Just fill up that green space.

 

One idea to go along with that...maybe add an NPC or two running around in the town? It can go a long way to helping with the empty space.

Agreed. Just seems real empty.
