UPDATE June-26-11, sunday
I got all the resources that I need. I just need a team to start coming up with Ideas, I just need writers and creative people with creative Idea, because im starting to event and creat the story along the game. The problem im having is not being able to think everything through in the story, I keep on changing it until its just right, so I need IDEAS, as the main thing, so I want to creat a team of discussion where we just discuss everything of the game, monsters, trasures, and missions, and the story line it self, find why or how everything is to happen.
Ok so I made a free made forum, but only for game development, this isnt a community its just the game development that might have more information then what I give here.

Ok Hi guys! It's been a while since I've worked on this project and now I decided to get back to it, usually ill only ask for help in here but this time I am actually looking to be recruiting People to the Project! Now by joining you will have a say on developing it and not just be ordered around to do work for the project! Shalaren Metropolis is still missing the brainstorming! I want to finally make this project official and serious! And I'll be doing that by going through the right Developing stages WITH A TEAM AND ITS OPINIONS! Credits are all EVEN! Everyone is credited!So if you'd like to join - your welcome to, but you'll have to show me something that you've done in the past in RMXP so ill know you at least have some experience of gaming, or skills like Writing, Scripting, Drawing, Eventing, Mapping, Brainstorming, etc.here is some additional Information about the game,
you are being introduced to 3 characters, Kathel, Jamie, and Finely.
each character has a talent that helps in a different concept, Kathel is the battle character, who is able to achieve new abilities and fight multiple enemies, Jamie is a Puzzle Freak who is able to unlock locked doors without a key and is able to solve puzzles faster then anyone, and Finely has a hidden power that should be sealed away as its against the metropolis laws, but her powers are to pure to be a harm, she heals and cures just by touching. so these three characters are the perfect team as you get to play with all three of them and control them all, you can send them to battle or call them to follow you, as you play Kathel as your main character, Jamie helps in battle while Finely heals, when there are doors to be opened, Jamie needs time for him to unlock it, so Kathel and Finely are in charge of making sure no enemy gets any close to Jamie while hes unlocking the door. Thats how their team works. quests with puzzels and bosses with very fun actions.That is Jamie Unlocking a door that requires 3 seconds of performance.
besically its an example of what Jamie does.
Right now Thats kinda what is going to be happening in the game, Still needs more happening. QuoteMysterious deaths occur around the Metropolis, The three characters investigate and find out that someone is trying to free the powers of the six saints to break the seal upon powers.
Current Background StoryQuoteShalaren is known to be the strongest magician in history, as he was the only magician that could use his life as pure energy to close the gates of the underworld, which were opened mysteriously that is.
In a world of magic that happens to forbid magic there is an opposite world known to be as the place for the damned, a place that should be holding these cursed souls known to be demons, and there shouldn't be a way that exists to walk through both of these worlds, the one you were born in, is the one you are to stay, that was at least what the civilians believed.
Magic is to be sealed away from the individual the moment he is to be born, Magic isn't learned, it comes in blood, it comes in many different (Lmao I forgot the word! ><" Shapes?). Those who caused magic to become forbidden are those who used magic for the wrong reason. Magic used to be a way of life, a way that has made living much easier, Traveling was faster, things could get done quicker and even more efficiently, but eventually it became dangerous as some have learned to use their powers for a bad purpose, and so the strongest of magicians have used their powers to create a seal upon all magic.
A seal so strong that can be used on every born child, a seal that is to exist for many years.
Only makes some people wonder, what could possibly go wrong with such a powerful seal as that?
One day a strange dimensional gate appeared in the middle of the sky, dark figures begun to come out of the gate, landing on the earth like meteors that destroy everything around them, these dark figures were soon to be recognized as demons. Crushing earth and killing millions as more and more demons appear to come out of the gate, while underground seven Civilians were hiding from the dark creatures, secretly one of the seven civilians was a one who should have his powers sealed away from him, but appears to not as he casted a spell upon the others to make them unnoticeable by the demons.
The others should be scared of him, a criminal who has broken the rules, but instead they looked at him as their saviour, as their only chance to survive. The civilian seemed to know what has caused the gates to open and knew what to do, He told the others that there was a simple spell to force the gates to close, The others wondered that if so, why haven't anyone used it yet? None was even planning to use that spell due to its requirements.
Six civilians standing in a circle with The civillian inside casting the spell "To stop the murdering Knife, I agree to give away my life, as I turn into energy of pure protection, I will fight to heal and cure this Infection"
The spell turns the users body into energy that will force the gates to close, but if the spells fails, the user will fade away as the gates stay open. The spell almost took over Civilian, Made him very weak and just when he was about to faint and fall, the six others Held him to support the spell, The last the said civilian said before he was gone, is his name, "Shalaren".
As Shalaren turned into pure energy he made the earth lose a touch with gravity, surrounded the gate and forced every demon to go back inside. It took three days for Shalaren's energy to finally close the gate, leaving a mix of shalaren's energy and the underworlds energy up high the sky as the six civilians are still alive, but rather different. These civilians were gifted with extraordinary powers in which they used to recreate the society, searching for the few survivors and to build a new metropolis, a metropolis in which is named after the magician that has given his life to protect, Shalaren Metropolis was then made. And the six civilians called themselves, The Six Saints.
A strange mark was left in the sky after closing of the gate, and shalaren's energy was starting to wear off and the six saints knew they had to do something in order to prevent the gate from opening again, and so performed a spell to seal the gate and shalaren's energy inside a tree, a tree located in the center of the metropolis in order to protect it, and the six saints sealed away their powers as well in order to protect the metropolis from themselves, and the only way of reaching what inside is by naming all of the six saints, but the names are unknown. However, one of them had decided that in case magic is ever needed again, the enchantment for release of the powers should be recorded. And so, being a close friend of the king, he inscribed it on the crown, which he knew is passed down through successive kings.
Current Character IdeasQuoteKathel is the son of the King of Shalaren Metropolis, Remus.
Instead of just taking a position as the noble Prince, he took the position as the general Knight in guarding the metropolis as he was trained for combat most of his life. He does not know anything about his mother and every time he brings the subject up his father does everything in he's power to avoid it.
Jamie is regular Town boy who lost his Parents as a child, but still had his big brother Caleb. When their parents died Caleb knew he had to do everything in his power to teach Jamie the way to live, thought him the art of an explorer.
Finely was taken away from her home and her family not to long after she was born, many fought for her because they knew she was very special, she is a girl who possesses unsealed magic powers, the magic of whisperer. She ended up in the Sagittar Nation and had her child hood over there, why were the Sagittars holding her? They knew she possessed the right power to revive their god.
Jamie and Kathel grew together and are very good friends, Finely ran away when she got older, she met a priest who valued her abilities differently then what everyone else did, The priest who became Finely's Mentor and Teacher. Kathel used to go to the church every week and that's how he met Finely, but didn't know anything about her magic as she was told by the priest to keep it as a secret because not everyone is going to like it.
ok so information about the game..
you play with three characters in this game, and every character has a special role.
The first is Kathel, who is besically for battle and is the character you will play with,
second is Jamie who is in the middle, hes for battle too, but more for puzzles in the game, he can open locked doors and such.
Finely, your last character is the party's Healer, she is there for support and will heal you when injured.
They all have a story of their own and you will experience their background during the game.
This is the hud, coded by nathmatt, but designed by me.
This hud still needs alot of work because there is alot of bugs and things that need to be added,
The battle system is blizz-abs
still working on how the battle looks, but its finally starting to look good as all characters have their action sprites.
sounds play very well, and finally battle is fun when testing it
so there, with this little information I hope you'd find this game worthy to join the project?
