What is Octanis: The Legendary Thief?
https://youtu.be/SsO7plnDE94

Octanis is a game about a boy named Dutch.

He was born into the legacy of his parents, Kast and Delpha, two master thieves who later founded "The School of Higher Arts". As he grew up he became more and more better at the art of thievery, but after his parents had died he had grew quite depressed. Something in him died after his parents had passed, and it made his job much harder to do as he dealt with their loss.. Skip eight years ahead and now he is working as a blacksmith, but after a recent news hit him he decides for old time sake, he will steal once more....
What features does this game entail, what makes you unique?
What features does this game have is mighty question to ask. We have many things implemented and many things coming soon such as...

» Cooking/Smithing System

» Custom Battle System (Coming Soon..)

» Custom Menus (Coming Soon..)

» Sneaking System

We have planned to make this game stand-out from other titles of the genre by giving it a new and fresh story that will bring the player a variety of emotions. We will have dramatic scenes, sad scenes, and sometimes upbeat scenes. This game will be very new in it's style as it is created with the intent to make something never seen before in Modern RPGs. Something nostalgic, with a mix of modern is what we're going for! Hopefully you get what makes our project unique, and how it is a project that is worth being created.

What we need in terms of a team?
We need reliable, and efficient people who are happy to help in the best ways they can! We want someone who is both good at their skills and appreciate feedback on them. As of now we need a Writer, a Tester, a Grammar Fixer, an Artist, a Scripter, and a Decision Expert (Someone who can help me decide on certain things)
If you can do any of these things, and you are active. Then please message me here on the forums, thank you!

Screenshots of Joy!

Bye-Bye!

Here is a musical composition done by IAmWilfred, or Tyler Gonelli for the game. He is a amazing composer and is very nice person to work with!

Define writer. If you can give me specifics for what you mean, then I'll happily help you and the team. I'll also be the grammar checker; I'm a Grammar Nazi extraordinaire.

Someone to help with quest, character and other ideas. Someone who can "Grammar Nazi" all my dialogue. (My grammar isn't the best in the world.) Also I will need someone who can talk with me about what should be done, writing wise.

 

[The_Exiled_One]

In that case, I'm your man for all of this things. I happily look forward to working with you.

Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more updates on...Octanis: The Legendary Thief!

I liked the lockpick system. It reminds me of Oblivion.

Hehe, funny you say that. My inspiration for the lockpick system came from Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

 

[The_Exiled_One]

Oh the irony. Considering how there's a lockpick script that's almost exactly like the system from Skyrim.

Yeah I realized there was one, but wanted a few tweaks as a personal touch. 

 

[The_Exiled_One]

Fair enough. When do you think that I'll do something involving the game?

Just messaged ya with the details.

 

[Keniisu]

Just updated the thread with a few more positions I will need

 

[DianteC]

Well, I can help with decision making and writing and such.

Well here is my opinions (they may not matter but here is what I thought.)

• The interior mapping is well above par.
• Your exterior mapping just doesn't cut it for me. It seems to be well below the quality of the interior areas.
• In the first video it says many unique systems....where???? The lock pick system has been overused to me. It's available to anyone. and the kicker there was you wrote original, so be original!!
• The hud is simple, clean, and nice, but needs some originality to the looks pal. Looks dull at the moment.

So next video I would include some stuff you say it has. If you say it back it up guy.

• Unique stuff
• Original stuff
• More than just walking around.
• Something interesting
• More interior maps because at this time that is where your video shines.

Hope this helps I tried to be helpful yet not overcritical.

All good points my dear sir! I will do my best to fulfill all of those pointers. The reason for there being such the trailer being a bit below par is due to me not having a sufficient editing PC at the time. I now am using my brother's so I should be A-okay in that department. I will try my best to include more systems and unique stuff, but I will have to get some more stuff first.

Anyways the reason for my interiors being good and my exteriors being bad is because I don't know. I never liked doing exterior maps, and have been trying to learn how to do it better. I thank you for the compliment of my interior designs, I am most proud of those.

I should also be including some story aspects in the next part as I lack those entirely, and hopefully you find it intriguing and trust me you should be!

Any who....I will be posting my next trailer as soon as all my new stuff is done, and maybe this one will be better than the last. Hopefully you all will sit down and enjoy the video a bit more than the last!

Bye-Bye!
