Project Guardian


(Working Title)


Synopsis:


(Please forgive the poor synopsis & character descriptions, I’ve never been good at writing those. The main story is much better written then these.)

Follow Lloyd and Glen as they get involved in opposite sides of a hidden war that is taking place all across the universe.


Lloyd is a young man of 20 and has lived his whole life despised by those around him. Glen is a young man of 19 and his whole life he has been worshiped by those around him.


Lloyd was born with the gift of the Shadows. Glen was born with the gift of the Light.


Lloyd struggles to find food, is chased from every town he's lived in, and wants nothing more than to find a place to belong. Glen has been held captive by the church since birth, has never allowed to go anywhere unescorted, and desires above all else a place where he can belong.


Both seek a place where they can live in peace, have friends and perhaps a family of their own.


Lloyd was approached by John, also known as Shadow. Glen was approached by Alexia, also known as Light.


If Lloyd helps John win the war he promised him a place to belong, a world where he could live without being feared, a world where he would be happy. If Glen helps Alexia win the war she promised him a place to belong, a world where he could live without being worshiped, a world where he would be happy.


Play as both Lloyd and Glen, and learn the tragic history of John and Alexia and even how the eternal war began as you cross the universe in search of a place to belong.



Characters:


Lloyd:


(Please forgive the lack of character pictures)

Lloyd was born wrapped in shadows. His parents feared him, and everyone around him shunned him. By the age of 3 his parents left never to return, leaving Lloyd to fend for himself. By the age of 10 Lloyd had had multiple attempts on his life. Now at the age of 20 Lloyd is approached by a strange man who says that he can take Lloyd to a place that he'll belong, a place he won't be feared, if Lloyd helps him win a war.



Glen:

Glen was born wrapped in Light. Soon after Glen was born the church discovered him and took him in. Even his parents worshiped him. His whole life Glen lived in the church, never allowed to go outside or even leave his room without a priest to escort him. Glen hates people worshiping him and wants nothing more then to escape and find a place to belong. One day Alexia showed up and offered to take Glen to a place where he can belong, a place where he'll be free and won't be worshiped, but only if he helps her win a war.

Known bugs & other game info

.Battle system not set up



Spoiler



The basics of the battle system is set up. The tutorial battle does not work; the game will skip it for you, and the boss fight near the end of the demo isn't fully set up, but it should run.





.Boss Fight Not Set Up

[SIZE=18.6667px]This event should run find now however the fight isn't fully set up and there may be a few glitches still with the even itself.[/SIZE]



.Spelling mistakes

There should only be spelling mistakes in the tutorials or the main story after you enter the "base" for the first time. If you notice any out side of those two places in the game then please report them to me. I often work on my game in the early mornings or late at night so I don’t always catch my spelling mistakes until later.



.Monster Fighter Effects

In the Monster Fighter mini-game some of the effects are glitched and don't work right. I am aware of them just not where they're at. If you run across a glitch where it looks like an effect didn't work right please report it. Tell me what card you played, what card your opponent played, if your effect activated, if your opponents effect activated, If you can remember it; what both your and your opponents atk before bonus’s & final atk was, and what happened that you believe to be a glitch.



.Glen's side of the story has very little content

I've only just begun making this game and it's still in a very early stage, because of that only Lloyd really has any content for you to play. You may freely switch between Lloyd and Glen at any point but outside of the opening and a transfer event in and out of the town Glen has nothing else done for him as of yet. Quick warning, on Glen's side of the story there is a guy there named "Tomas" I'd advise against speaking with him, I made him as a joke for myself one day when I was board and didn't really feel like working on the game. He won't actually delete your save file because I didn't know the JS code to make him do it, but he will lock you out of your menus and force you to have to quit the game.



.Empty buildings & unfinished content

This game is in a very early state and a lot of stuff outside of the first town is unfinished or set in up in a way that's meant as a reminder for myself as to what I intend to do.



.Finalized content

Monster Fighter, Main Characters, Story.



.Content Warning

While there is NO nudity in this game, some parts of the game have implied sexual situations.



.Books

Within this game there are multiple books you can find and reed, each having their own stories; some complete fiction, others based on the games history, none are available in this demo.



.Things I forgot to fix in the demo

The “Shadow” ability does not turn you into a woman. I haven’t made the graphic needed for it yet so I used that one as a temporary one just so I could test it and make sure it worked as I intended.


The save crystal in the inn. It will not be in the game, I just can never seem to remember to delete it. This has been fixed.






Game Features:

.True end guidance system



Spoiler



This game will have 6 different endings, as such I have implemented a guidance system that will mark any choice that will help you get the true ending with a star. This can be turned on and off from the menu.



.Change difficulty

From your menu you may freely change the difficulty at any point in the game. The difficulty has no effect on anything outside of battles.



.Cheats

While not in the demo, in the final game you will be able to unlock cheats by doing various things in the game. Cheats are only available in a "New Game +".



.Story & Side-quest info

Because you can freely switch between characters at any point I've added an option to the menu that will tell you what your next task is and what side-quest you have discovered and not yet completed.



.Monster Fighter

The most complex event I have ever made. Monster Fighter is a poorly named card game that is simple but fun. Each card has a base ATK value and an effect, but just because a card had more attack power doesn't mean that it'll win. The weakest card in the game can win against the strongest; though it's unlikely.



.Books

None are available in this demo, but this game will have over 25 books when finished. Some books are based on the history of the world you find them on, others are based on characters, and some are just pure fiction that has nothing to do with the games history or lore.



.Mini-Games

Outside of the Monster Fighter game there are many different mini-games that will be in this game. So far Monster Fighter is the only real one I have set up so I won't go into detail but the outline of some of the others are in the demo, just not playable.



.Rumors

Side-quest, and secrets in this game are found through Rumors. Very few thing require you to hear the rumor before you can find them but it makes finding things easier.

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
