NOTE: This was my very first project from my earliest years of this wonderful website. Changes have been made, especially the title, world, timeline, setting and most of the characters. Concept remains the same.




STORY

In the year of 1866, Holy Church Alliance had fought against The German Sovereignty and thwarted their conquest for world domination. Germany lacks of any faith of the Power of Grace, but their Technological advances and military might has become a force unlike any other nation and nearly crushed the Alliance as well as the Messiah Knights within the Order. A small group of heroes led by the Messiah Knight, Michael Raehart had continuously defeated the Germans, but both nations had suffered greatly and thus ended in a stalemate. Michael Raehart was known as Hero of the Messiah German War, however Michael had vanished on the day the war ended and is believed to have fallen in battle.

6 years have passed, in 1872 a young boy of the age of 13 sets foot into New York city on his very first assignment as a Knights Squire. His name is Vance Raehart, son of Michael Raehart. Joined the order shortly after the Messiah German War with the ambition to find not only follow in his fathers footsteps, but to discover the fate of his father. In his journey Vance will soon discover that Knights not only have responsibilities bestowed upon them, but also carry a great burden that is difficult to carry. However thanks to his friends and allies, he wont be alone.


before i get into the characters and stuff, here are some clarifications for people who are curious about some things
What are Messiah Knights and Grace?
every human has a certain amount inner power known as grace. In the world of My Messiah, this a form of magic that varies at birth and manifest in a physical form mostly at the age of 5. People who have enough to Grace to be efficient in certain areas of combat or uses outside of normal life can train to become a Messiah Knight and wield a Knights Raiment. Messiah Knights are also known as "saviors" and its a sworn duty for all knights to protect the innocent with the cost of their own lives.

Knights Raiment?
The Knights Raiment is one the primary abilities for those who have the power of grace. people can shift certain parts of their body into armor that not only increases speed, power and combat efficiency, but gain more abilities based of the nature of their grace.

What do you mean by "Nature of Grace"
The power of Grace has comes in almost endless forms. its not just the Elemental Differences, such as Fire, water, Ice, Lightning Etc. his an example of a Grace power. Blue Fire, multiple people can have Blue fire and can even different from another if not unique to another Blue Fire user. more will be explained in the future.

He also aims to be part of an Elite group of Knights known as the Dragoon Vanguard, just like his father who is the leader.

Features Planned

Messiahs Journey (game mode): for a better roleplaying experience. after release of this game, in future i planned to patch the game for an alternate game mode. start your own journey like Vance and others before him. pick an origin city to start as a Knights Squire, then work to become Messiah.(this is something i want to do for this game. depending on the feedback from the final release, i may add it.)

and many more..

Going to spend a hundred dollara more to finish the first chapter on characters and tilsets. I’m not putting this together myself anymore with these projects and that was the main problem for me. <snip> is my paypal. Any kind of support is fine.

Vance Raehart, please avoid double posting, as it is against the forum rules. You can use the "Edit" function on your posts to add additional information you've forgotten or respond to multiple people. You can review our forum rules here. Thank you.


I've also removed your e-mailadress as we have a lot of spambots lurking this forum.
Since you're asking for donations, that makes this a commercial product and doesn't really fit in this forum. We have a forum for completed commercial games, but not one for in development ones. (Crowdraising is the closest to it, I believe.)
So please remove mentions of donations from this thread at this point.

The art looks great, it would really be a waste if you abadon it.
The story sounds interesting too.
I think its cool if RPGs have some sort of connection to reallife things people know.^^

Your art all looks very nice, and it all fits well with the concept and ideas you have.

I'm trying to understand, is this meant to be a mixture of fantasy and reality in one single world? If I've understood that right, then I think it's very interesting and I can see this game going somewhere really good, so I wish you the best of luck.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
