"So Long As You Believe."
(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/9782/thea.png)
"Magnia" is the ancient power source of the universe. "Sahan Dolma" is a world maintained by "Magnia Orbs," which is driven by Magnia. The people of Sahan Dolma enjoy their lives, living in cities shielded by barriers that keep them safe from the monsters of their world.
When the Pheioran Empire began to expand their empire, war rages between the continents. With Pheiorus' vast supply of Magnia Orbs they quickly took the upper hand in the war, conquering most of the planet.
With little hop of survival, a small organization formed in search for freedom called the Order of the World. When young prince of Pheiorus, Nolan Serrano, gets captured by the order of the world he is force to fight against his own country. However, one can't help but believe that Nolan see things differently.
The desire to be.
The desire to achieve.
So long as you believe.
One special trait that makes Pheiorus so powerful is their vast supply of Magnia Orbs. With this power at their disposal, Pheiorus had very little trouble conquering most of Sahan Dolma. To further increase their power, Pheiorus began to use the natural life source of the people to make more magnia orbs.
While on a mission to enforce Pheiorus' rule on the town of Anion, Nolan ends up getting capture by the Order of the World. After being expose to Pheiorus' true nature after having his mind warped by the Pheioran Empire, Nolan's feeling toward his country changes as well as his objective in life. His new mission is to help the Order of the World put an end to the Pheioran rule. However, fighting against his own family isn't going to be a walk in the park.
Pheiorus
A continent located to the southwest. The leaders of Pheiorus has used the power of the Magnia to extend their empire by conquering cities and towns around the world.
Hypionia
A continent located to the north west. Another continent that suffers under Pheiorus' rule.
Tasmynian
Continent located to the east of the world. One of the large continents that have suffered the wrath of Pheiorus' power.
The Order of the World
The Sahan Dolma Freedom fighting organization, founded by Siarra Turnelle. The purpose of the Order of the World is to free the world free the Pheioran's rule.

Destiny Calls Release Date: ?????
Destiny Calls Demo Release Date: ?????
Now that I finally finished highschool I have this summer all to myself. I have much more time now and I plan to use it well. As you can see, it's already been less than a month since I finished HS and I have some screens to put. I've been wanted to put up screens for a long time.
The mapping isn't final. I might make changes to it but as of right now this is what I'm displaying. I've improved on my mapping skills alot and I still trying to improve. Also, while I'm doing some mapping myself I'm searching for anyone else interesting in joining a mapping team so that I can speed up the process a little. The LONG story line alone is more than enough stress already.
But for now, just enjoy the screens. More will soon come if I feel like displaying more or if anyone wants me to display more. However, I will display much more screens on the DC website (destinycalls.official.wordpress.com) than on the forums so be sure to check that site every now and then for screens and updates that probably won't make it to the forums.
Any screenshots? And are those all the features you just plan on having?
Unfortunately not yet. It's 2 years since I started making this game. 2 years ago it had a different story and a different title. I'm starting over fresh. So I don't have any screens yet.
Also, no those aren't the only features I want. Just the one's that stand out. I'll update the topic as soon as I get back to my house. I'm using my aunt's computer and I don't have XP in front of me.
This is project is in a really early stage in development and is in need of some serious improvement. Hopefully, I put this topic in the right section...lol
Yeah, it's the right section. Other than that tldr, but I hope you can pull it off. From the structure of the text and the fact that you are remaking the story from 2 years ago, I can see that it's promising.
Wow, thanks alot Rival Blizzard...
I like how you have Aqua in your name. It makes me laugh. With malice.
Bad character syndome here. Dear god, could you be anymore stereotypical?
WELLLL DIS GUY HAZ NU MEMORRIS SO HES LIKE LUL WUT.
ADN HIS BERST FRRRIEND IS CPATURED SO HEE TRIS TO SAVE HIM.
SO YAH LIK DIS GUY HAS LIK SORDS ADN HE IS ANRGY ADN HIIIS FMILY GOTS KILLED SO HE GOESSSS RAWR.
Ect.
Improve your characters.
PS: Best title image I've seen in a long time. Where did you procure it?
EDIT: For G_G.
Dio? English please? I cant really understand that and I do want to read it. lol

Try reading it. It's in English. The part that's bad spelling is supposed to be that way. I'm making fun of him.
@ Gym Leader Diokatsu
It's not the story is finish. I'm still develop major parts of the story so I'm still working on most of the characters background information. I don't see how I'm being stereotypical at all. And you're going to make fun of me, you might as well don't say anything at all.
Thats just how we kid around with each other. Might as well get used to it.

If you can't see how your being stereotypical, go watch some anime or maybe play some J-RPGs. You'll see just how often a character who "forgot their memories" or "is angry because of something that happened in the past" occurs. Theses are called plot devices, easy, no work ways to make a cheap plot and propel it forward. You should take some more time and try thing about some ways to make this unqiue, because it seems way too much of a rehash of old ideas to play. That's just my opinion. and don't be a baby when someone makes fun of you. I had completely legitimate poiints done in a scathing fashion. If you're not going to take the critizism, why would you post it up?
On a lighter note, I do apologize if I offended you, so lighten up. You might not know it, but I treat almost everybody like this.
Making fun of someone is not critizism. And when did I say that "someone forgot their memories?" I never said that. So I still don't believe that I'm be stereotypical. However, I didt realize that I had alot errors in spelling and grammer. I've fixed those.
Criticism is always associated with harsh words, that's how you push yourself to improve.
QuoteFate is doesn't have any memories his past life and doesn't question Ivan about them.
Yeah, that's where you get the 'he lost his memories' part. :\
Don't worry about Dio's treatment, he's always like that, which makes him so fun. =D
I've updated some of the characters. I'd have some screen shots and stuff but I think my computer got a virus because when I turn it on it shuts itself off so I need so serious help. My laptop is Mac is I can't do much but the story and characters.
This RMVX?
This is for XP... Honestly, I can't stand VX. I just think XP is easier to work with.
In 100% agreement .. .. ..
I just scoped out the characters, and I thought those facesets were RMVX style, but then I realized that the one was Arshes.
At any rate, this project sounds delightful, and the banner you've made is wonderful. Looking forward to updates.
Thanks alot. But I forgot to mention is the first post that I didn't make the banner. It was made by Axerax over at RRR.
Ah, at any rate, it's quite fantastic.
I was goinh to post some information about the battle system. However, you don't get much help when you request custom script. Does anyone know where I can find scripters for hier.
I've added three songs that I made for Steel Angels. They're one of the few songs that survived my computer's epic meltdown. I don't think they're so great so I doubt anyone would want to use them in your own games but if you decided to please give me credit.
This project has amazing potential! If you need someone to help with some bits and pieces of the storyline, just PM me. im not good with the actual program, but im great at making storylines. Pm me and i can help you a lot!
The main topic has been updated with some information about what's been happening with this project since my last post. Check it out.
Steel angel, huh? I remember this game. I considered it a rival back then, glad to see you're still working on it.
Hurry up and release a demo, will ya?
Rival huh? Well, I don't think I' quite ready for any competitions yet. Though a little friendly game wouldn't hurt. Demo's are out of the question right now because my PC is down. The only other computer I have is my laptop and my dads. Both are MAC, so you must know the issue. However, I ran into a program called crossover that would allow me to run RPG maker XP alone on my MAC without having to installs windows. So as soon I buy an new Mac book pro, I'll start getting into demos.
Minor Update... nothing serious
After the long wait, I finally received the character designs for my game. They're completely original. It's only images but it's still nicely done. Check them out on the first post.
Those characters are amazing!!
*drools* Those are very nice! Keep up the work dude! Cant wait to see some screenies!

What good is an RPG without characters for you to fall in love with as you play the game?
Destiny Calls offers seven original characters who is each suffering in their own way. Weather's if it's finding their purpose in life, or trying to make out the difference between the right and they wrong you'll find it within these characters. Nolan, Siarra, Rulio, Soren, Tira, Vinavia, and Arturo each plays a major role in the story for different reasons. As you progress through the story, you'll see how hard this cast has is.
In this video you get to see all 7 characters with 3 actual quotes from the game. Credit goes to Erick Tjoe for designing the characters and credit goes to ilolamai from Deviantart.com for drawing some of the pictures. And credit to me for naming them...lol..jk
Also credit to Sicon from the rpg revolution site for design the Destiny Calls Logo that appears in the video. You can check out the video on Youtube. Just follow the link and you'll be on your way.

Small update... New NPC characters has been reveal. As each day goes by, more NPC's will be introduced. Keep a eye out for more NPC's in the next few days.

None of the pictures from your first post are coming up for me. :???: Anyway, this looks great! Whatever you do, do not stop making this until its finished!
....They work for me. I just checked. I wonder what the problem is.
Thats strange... As soon as you posted back, the images started appearing! (They look great by the way ;) )
Wow man. And I thought my project was ambitious =]. You've given me drive to step up my work a notch -- and that's a hard thing to do xD.
Cant wait for a final version of the game and really sink in!
keep updating! x3
I was actually getting more and more disappointed as I read through this, but it's not a bad thing. If I read this topic from bottom to start it would be vice versa.
I think the plot setting was one of the best I've seen (even though the Magnia Orbs and the evil world conqueror reminded me of Magicite and Gestahlian Empire in Final Fantasy VI). The characters were original and inventive, even though I still don't know if Vinavia is a woman or a man. The "rebels" reminded me of FFVI even more. The summons assigned to characters isn't an idea I'm very fond of. It sounds pretty 'have-to-include-this' kind of random idea, or maybe something is actually explained in the game other than "the summons (whatever they were called :p) just decide to pick a master".
What disappointed me was the screenshots. The default and boring looking windowskin in the second screen, and the 99% like Moghunter's default graphics Main Menu didn't impress me. The only screen where you used some kind of effects was the second one, the last two screenshots looked just main basic RTP-boring. Plus, I find the fact there is a dinner table in a prison pretty odd.
Also this "mapping error" bugs me: You're using the outer-corner tiles for inner corners too. It's a minor error, but lowers the points (from me, at least).
On the other hand the artwork is amazing, one of the things you posted that I'm jealous of.
Good luck with this project.
Yeah and while writing I watched a bit of the youtube video you posted, and noticed Vinavia has boobs. One question answered already!
QuoteThe characters were original and inventive, even though I still don't know if Vinavia is a woman or a man.
It says on the first post that Vinavia is a she xD.
QuoteThe summons assigned to characters isn't an idea I'm very fond of. It sounds pretty 'have-to-include-this' kind of random idea, or maybe something is actually explained in the game other than "the summons (whatever they were called :p) just decide to pick a master".
I can tell from the "Summons:" Ifrit, Shiva, Titan, ect. that you're a Final Fantasy fan, but the idea of the "Gardinals" choosing one person each from the party is a whole lot like the summons from Final Fantasy XIII.
As Sase said, some of the story is a little like Final Fantasy VI, so you don't want to make it too much like a Final Fantasy game. Another thing is that most of the sprites and tilesets from your screenshots seem a bit boring (Probably because they're mostly default sprites/tilesets.), so it would be a good thing to change that.
I know you may change some of these things as you progress through making this game, but I thought I should have told you anyway! ;)

My vision is poor and the text was pretty small in the picture, so I didn't read it that carefully.
And about the corners, here is an example for you:

Nothing is final. I'm also still learning how to map good so the end results will be much better. Also, I never played Final Fantasy VI so I wouldn't know if there were similarities in the storylines. And I realize that the guardinals are similar to final fantasy XIII but I thought about it and decided that I wouldn't change that because I've had that idea way before I knew of Final Fantasy XIII.
Demos? Part1? previews? I'm really hoping you would finish it......
I like it.
After a long time, new Screens has finally been added!!!!
I love how this game is turning out...
Do you have an estimate on the DEMO?
