Kotetsu


Once a hidden land,
fell into crisis,
As villagers prayed,
three messengers arrived,
disguised, they destroyed the land,
but three warriors,
fought against the messengers,
but they were defeated,
never to be seen again,
the hidden land remained forgotten,

Story

Chapter 1

The Death

The game starts 150 years in the past, the hidden land of Mata. It was once a beautiful garden, until a terrible meteor storm. Since then, their land was destroyed. They prayed for restoration of the village, but hey received nothing. The months past, until a mysterious winged man arrives with two others. The people of Mata thought they were winged messengers of heaven. They hoped for them to restore the village, but instead, the three mysterious men were disguised by the villagers, and instead destroyed their land along with them. There were few survivors, but only three had the courage to fight back. They were Sora, Archie, and Adam. They searched for homes, but they encountered the same three men. They tried to attack the three men, but they teleported away, accidentally taking the three children with them. They wound up in their old home, Mata. When they reached the church, they found the three men. They fought the three men but they were defeated, and never to be seen again. Before they died, a child was born, and was frozen until the Moonlight Dancer revived the dead land.

Chapter 2

A New Life

141 years later, there were three youths of a kingdom. One was the prince, the other two were his friends.
A violent storm came over the kingdom. Two of them were bored, the other one wanted them to stay
in the castle until after the storm. One did not listen and left alone. The child left the town and got lost.
He then heard a strange voice, but saw no one. then, the boy was attacked by a black figure. The two other friends
left in search of the lost boy, but they never found him. He was lost for 9 years. His name was Reala.
He was transported to a crescent shaped island. He was found by a 12 year old girl named Luna. She was then attacked by the same man
who attacked Reala. Before he could actually kill them, the inhabiting soul of the island, Isa, sealed the man into a forest and gave Reala and Luna false memories of being brother and sister. They then woke up and could not remember the previous events that occurred.

Chapter 3

The Scream

9 years later, Reala is a teenager who goes to high school and has to deal with loads of work. One day, there was a new student named Judas. Reala tells Luna about how he thinks that Judas is weird, but she just doesn't listen to him. When Reala decides to spy on him after school the next day, he finds out that Judas doesn't live in their city, but somewhere in a forest. He goes to tell Luna, but she calls him a stalker. When Reala sees him go to the forest, he tells Luna a lie about a treasure in the forest. She believes him and goes with him. When they find Judas wandering in the forest, they chase after him. When they catch him, they try to ask him questions, but he teleports them to another part of the world!

Chapter 4

The Killer

Reala and Luna get transported to an unknown castle far from their home. Luna gets furious with Reala and he just doesn't care. When they go in the castle to ask for a boat home, they find a boy being attacked by a mysterious girl. Luna knows the boy is the Prince of Deciet so she attacks the girl. The girl escapes from the castle and the boy puts away his weapon. They introduce themselves and they find out that the boy is actually Riou, the Prince of the continent. They later assist Riou on his missions and are sent back home later. When they get home, they try to find out information about Judas and who he really is.

Looks like it's a very well-rounded project, and although I can sadly grant no help in your game, I hope you do well and finish it so we can have fun playing it!

I am a girl and my house is too loud to manage to accurately do any form of voice acting. Even overnight.

Also, my computers keep spontaneously combusting. I'm on computer number three. One overheated to the point of fan and power death...two was eaten via virus/worm until Windows wouldn't run. Let's hope this one lasts for a while!

Obviously, since the moderators are also talking about off-topic things, that isn't the case for this forum.

As for the new name: I hate the sterotype of japanse/asian in general names. If that was your first name for the topic, I would've never bothered to even check it out. I liked Advent Moonlight better.

This is why I hate naming games. How about you call it a project untill your done, and then ponder the name afterwards.

I'm certainly not going to start tearing threads apart to extract the "impurities" (and besides, it's often quite entertaining to be able to document the step-by-step derailment of a thread). Out of respect for Skeith, though, I would keep the focus on his project in this particular thread. As a rule of thumb, if you want to embark upon a new conversation topic, however whimsical it may seem, just start a new topic!

I had to read your summary of the introduction of your game a couple of times in order to process it - it's a little hard to follow, I think because you've introduced quite a few characters and quite a few locations in quick succession, with no 'map' upon which to place them. It does seem like you're well aware of what happens in your universe, though, which is a definite advantage! I gather that Mata is the crescent-shaped island of Chapter 2(-3), and that your second set of protagonists (the ones who think they're siblings but really aren't) come from an unnamed kingdom before being teleported there. The black figure I guess is Skathe.

I'm guessing that the focus of the game hereon will be the siblings-but-not-really-siblings' journey back home? I think that in itself might not make for the most thrilling adventures, but I really like all these other, seemingly disparate elements that you've introduced - the mysterious messengers, the guardian of the island (the child of the first chapter?), and the curious memory-loss that the heroes have. I think there's a lot of potential here, and I'd be interested to see how you develop these quirkier aspects to your story. It may be worth writing a less dense summary, though, to avoid confusion - as it stands it might put people off.

What does Kotetsu mean? As far as I can tell, Advent Moonlight worked very well as a name for the game, though as suggested it does bring the silly FFVII film to mind (I don't think that's a problem; however, might be worth changing the name of Sora for a very similar reason...).

OK, the child in the first chapter, you'll play the game to find that out! I thought that advent moonlight was too cheesy but i didnt realize how well it went with the story until you told me. And i think u read it wrong. 1 sibling is from a castle. the other 1 is from da island. I havent even updated the story yet or screenshots. i dont know how to operate on this forum. I took sora and da other 2 out cuz that went nowhere. i might reconsider the name advent moonlight. Lets vote to see who like what name better. i cant decide.

The combat HUD looks great to me, then again this is the first time I'm seeing anything VX related.

The world map could use some touch-ups, mainly to give it more of a detailed look; a few mountains here and there, or hills, some diversity, you know. Perhaps various grass-types if the tile-set has it? The clouds on the world map is a nice touch.

The room in the third screen looks kind of bare, and disproportionate. Maybe shrinking it down a little bit? Also, you forgot to add the same sort of wall for the exit door; it looks like there's just the carpet and the wall tile. The shading aspect on the floor is a cool effect though. Rooms with that particular size of furniture, as well as what sort of room it's meant to be, should factor into its size. Since it's that girl's room (or just someone's room), it could be shrunk down and the various furniture brought together or rearranged to accommodate the size difference.

I hope this helps in some way. Looking good so far; the Disgeaia sprites go well with the game's tile-set I find.

Huh, I really like the HUD, but the mapping needs some work. It's kinda flat and overused, but overall a very nice job. Can't wait for the finished project.

Which reminds me, but I better post it in the voice acting thread.
