Here is the intro, hope you like it! +::heart You'll just have to wait sHint: It contains a dark night and kidnapping. +::shhhh

Mangy long lost years ago, the universe was created. The instrument of its creation was the Song of Aira. The Song was
all oflife, and all the beggining. The Song had no end, and life grew and never faded or died. \Then came The Unraveller.
It was a spirit of malice that had somehow woven itself into the song. Their intelligence and wisdom dulled by the peace of the Song, the Lailaians, the Firstmade, were powerless to oppose the Unraveller. Darkness and death and sickness came into the world, the Song sealed away in the Unravellers shrouded fortress. It seemed like the end...

Until, late on a night like any other
In the village of Marial
Comes Alice...

Oh wells, I'll look around. Here are the characters info!

Alice Nightingale- A young girl with a joy for life. She fights the Darkness to save the living beauty in the land. She uses plant magic, able to turn the very Earth against her opponents.

Timothy Valeshine- A trickster of the land of Eiren, Timothy is the sort of guy with no regrets and no strings. However, he takes an intrest in Alice and joins her in her quest. He is a master swordsman, and is usually seen in a top hat and gentlemas clothes.

Those are just the first two. There are 5 more to play.

Sup, a troll reporting in

Have in mind few "alternative" sites at which you can find resources:
- deviantart - g (well, duh)
- imageshack - g (people attend to upload in here too)
- photobucket - g (I kinda hate this site, but still worth it)
- findsounds - s (it is still operational, ever since the first laxius games were born)
- youtube - s (YES, youtube. You just need a downloader and external editor)
- hamienet - m (it is like a heaven for me)

g - graphics
s - sounds
m - music

Also, concentrate on your story, write down a scenario on a text file with the main points of the story. Until then, do not even attempt to start making anything at all. Have in mind what you would be capable of making, so don't write anything impossible to make after. Write ONLY the points of the story, which are critical for it. When you are done, start writing it again, giving more details with which to connect each point. When you start to actually make the game, you will be free of making adjustments, additions and other changes.
Very important thing - make the characters ALIVE and UNIQUE. And I don't mean different stats, spells and equipment. Add emotions as well (fear, sadness, love, anger, envy). Make something with which they would be remembered with, not just the next wanna-be yahoos, wandering around, not caring about their heads.
Btw, personal opinion - Alice is very overused name. Alice here, Alice there, Alice again and again and, arghhh, enough with the Alices already. Make up your own names. Something unique, not hard to remember. You can even use google to see how rare the names you think up are.


Make a crappy game and you'll regret that I showered you with this valuable wisdom +::biggrin
