The Clans - Saga of the Twins

[Clord]

 
Story Synopsis

The story is centered around the two characters called Catz and Kat. Their relationship as the twins in a chaotic world where the clans still rule and a new dangerous technologies have been discovered. They will adventure around the world to face countless adversaries like the demons and the vampires.

It begins from the bar where Catz likes to drink and eat a good food made by her bodyguard, Kitsune. However she longs for an adventure and invites Kitsune and Xenonight along. Eventually they meet Lilith Bloodrose and things start to become complicated.

They also meet various other characters, including Catz's sister who secretly wants her love and comes along.

There is much more but not everything is set in the stone yet.
 
Catz

 
Kat's twin and Dream Tech's CEO. She likes to cosplay as a cat. Often gets called as a weirdo for the good reasons.

Lilith Bloodrose

She is way more powerful and has lived way longer than she looks like. She pretends to be just a kid but her outward appearance doesn't really convince or fool almost anybody who come across. Also leads the party to their almost certain doom over a course of the game. Will also be playable in her own storyline.
 
Kat
 
Catz's twin and Dream Tech's Chairman. She is the one who actually runs the company they have as Catz is usually sleeping somewhere when she should be working for a good of the company. One should beware Kat as she is a vampire which she turned to after one peculiar accident. Likes to drink a blood but tries to deny it when asked even though it never fools anybody (almost.)
 
Xenonight
 
If it was not her job concerns, she would have gone a long time ago to slack out somewhere. Has many mysterious and potentially even villainous long term plans but is too lazy to act them out. Plus she is a goth after all.
 
Kitsune
 
A bit lazy, albeit promising and talented martial artist who got hired to be a bodyguard by her old friend Catz.

I like the originality.  A pink vampire lady with horns running a tech company is the type of main character you don't often see. 

I also like how you start the plot off small and center it around the characters themselves.  In my opinion that is the best way to tell a story.  I think a lot of games tend to inundate the player with a vast plotline right at the start - which can distract a lot from the characters themselves. But instead you seem to focus on their quirks and the small interactions between them.  That gives us a chance to get to know them better.

I try to avoid the "save the world" plots when it comes to my games lately.

I've always liked character-driven stories best.

 

[Clord]

Okay at long last it is time for another update!


Each character will have their base plus eight different expressions. This is taken care by Hirei.

My commissioned friend Blood-Fury has done some spriting.

Friendly disclaimer: You are allowed to look but not use those in any shape or form, expect me and artists who made them.

Also leads the party to their almost certain doom over a course of the game. Will also be playable in her own storyline.

 

[Clord]

Expect Lilith Bloodrose to be bat**** insane. At times you get to play as her when she talks about the past. Yes, it is show, don't tell approach. Writing her part of the story is so much fun.

 

[Randommerade]

This game looks great!! Lilith looks like an awesome character. Can't wait to see a demo of some sort

 

[C-C-C-Cashmere (old)]

Oh Hirei did the busts? This looks really cool, what with all the futuristic resources used and the interesting martial arts influence in the storyline. I will keep my eyes peeled and include this proj in the signature. Demo soon pls. ^_^

The artwork is amazing! But on the char sprite, since it's a girl shouldn't the chin be narrowed a bit?? She has a pretty bold chin/body for a female.

According to Lilith's description (assuming you're talking about her), she appears to be a child. Children tend to have fatter/chubbier faces than teenagers or grown adults.

 

[Clord]

Yeah she is physically looking like one but in terms of lore, she has been around for thousands of years at least.

Jonnie91 is handling the music side of things with this project.

[Clord]

Your keyboard broke or something? No problem! You can play this game with just a mouse, including the combat, plus you will need a mouse to play this game or some touch screen trickery.

Stuff moves around during combat to give more pleasing visual experience.


Attack - Character uses his/her weapons to attack.


Mana - Mana based skills that character knows can be found from there.


TP - TP based skills that character knows can be found from there.


Focus - Character restores small amount of HP and MP.


Items - Opens the items menu.

 

[Clord]

I'm still trying to figure how to handle demo side of things.


( A ) Game starts from the beginning until certain point yet to be decided (You guys wait longer.)


( B ) I rush the demo out which probably ends up being sub-par experience compared to plan A and would just be vertical slice of the game.

 

[Jonnie91]

I think to be honest, you shouldn't rush and do it as and when you are ready, choice A means that you'll be able to show the best you can, if you have a terrible demo, it could give an impression of a terrible game. 

Make us wait longer

 

[Clord]

Yeah, it is probably better to wait.


The vending machines will offer most of the items you can buy during the game.


You can also spend credits to unlock character specific skills (some skills can be learned by more than just one character.)


My idea is to offer some choices and sense of progress by making player to earn stuff while also leveling.


If someone feels like spending hours to earn the most expensive item from a vending machine on early stages of the game, he can go right ahead.

 

[Bonkers]

Instead of rushing is there a portion of the game that is more refined than the others?  We could see a video of some game play or a cut scene you know will make it into the playable demo.  That way you'll be able to show a portion of the game before the demo is ready, unless you are willing to limit yourself to just the two options.

On the vending machines: Where and when will we have access to them?  Are all vending machines stocked the same?  I like the meta idea of having equipment readily available to the player.

Also will you be editing the busts down a bit more for battle?  They seem like they are blocking a portion of the enemy battlers, though they do look fantastic.  

 

[Clord]

Yeah, most stuff you can buy will be available from every vending machine.


You can select enemy monsters even through party's hair so it is not that a big deal and no enemy monster is entirely behind the party members on fight.

 

[Clord]

Some more story details.


While Kat is trying to formulate plan to make her twin sister (Catz) to like her as a vampire, Lilith Bloodrose is having a visit by someone called Daniel who is Ex-Mayor of a certain backwater village.


Daniel was foolish enough to loan from a vampire and now begs to give more time for a loan payback. Lilith Bloodrose barely agrees but is still toying with an idea of killing him later.


Lilith Bloodrose thinks that Kat and Daniel are working together and interfering with her plans, so she attempts to kill Daniel. Naturally Daniel has no idea what she is talking about and runs while screaming.


So essentially Catz gains a stalker vampire called Lilith Bloodrose who is also being paranoid. She continues to be pesky nuisance and more through rest of the game.

Story synopsis updated.


I re-worked very early part of the story, as the plot was getting so ridiculously complicated with tons of dialogue right out of the gate.


I reached the point where there story just didn't make any sense due being way too complicated early on.


So I decided to cut-back narrative heavily and let a player think instead of trying to explain too much.


Catz = Main character who longs for an adventure.


Kat = She joins up later on and secretly wants Kat to love her (sisterly love kind of with a vampire wipe.)


Lilith Bloodrose = A big bad of the story who has lived for thousands of years. However she doesn't actively oppose the characters all to time and is more like a dangerous, playful child.
