For those of you who aren't familiar with the old version, here's the run down:
Genre: Fantasy
Pairings: Mainly BxB, One BxG pairing possible (But you have to go through a lot of bxb stuff to get to it.)
Basic Plot:
Lorr is a merchant who is currently set up at an outpost in order to help supply the Gradoan army. The outpost was set up in an attempt to put a halt to the recent attacks made on the main city by the Shaherons, a tribe of people that live in the desert. The reasons for this sudden increase in violence is unknown, but that's hardly Lorr's problem--until the outpost gets raided and he ends up being captured by none other than the second prince of Shaheron.
Characters: (From right to left: Merris, Charlos, Aydin, Lorr, Rhael, Keral, Learah, Ahrel)
Name: Lorr (Player Character)
A merchant who normally sells his wares at the capital. He has switched up his routine and is now providing supplies for the Gradoan army. Lorr is normally anti-war, but at this point he just wants the fighting to stop so that his "brother" Aydin will be safe. He hopes that by doing his part, he'll speed up that process. Personality wise, Lorr is easy to get along with, even if he is a bit crass at times. He knows several languages and can hold his own in a drinking contest.
Name: Charlos
One of the soldiers that Lorr has befriended. They share a love of drinking and making fun of each other. He's generally optimistic, but often worries about the wife he left back home. He fears that she'll leave him because he's always away from home due to his job.
Name: Aydin
A high ranking soldier in the Gradoan army. Aydin seems rather stoic and unsociable, but the truth is he's just shy. The exception to this is when he's with Lorr. The two of them were raised together and brought up as brothers even though Aydin's parents are nobility while Lorr's mother was only a maid for their manor. Aydin is a master with a sword and won't hesitate to come to Lorr's defense.
Name: Merris
One of the more powerful Generals in the Gradoan army. Aydin works under him. He may come off as heartless, but that is not necessarily the case. He just lets efficiency and practicality overshadow his nicer emotions. He is tired of the war and will do just about anything to end it so he and his soldiers can go home.
Name: Rhael
A cocky Shaheron prince who happens to be an excellent marksman with a bow. He's a bit on the spoiled side and sleeps around with no regards to gender. No one really cares though as he's the second son and thus, not in line for the throne. Surprisingly enough, he is actually a very intellectual being versed in many forms of literature and song. More importantly, he can actually speak the Gradoan language.
Name: Learah
A Shaheron merchant who specializes in selling flowers. She's materialistic and makes no real effort to hide this fact. She gets along with Rhael rather well, even though she picks on him a lot.
Name: Keral
Rhael's father and king of Shaheron. He continuously chastises Rhael's actions and makes it clear that he thinks that Rhael is wasting his time on meaningless pursuits.
Name: Ahrel
Rhael's older brother and the one who is first in line for Shaheron's throne.
(And I tried to keep it short...)
For those of you who are familiar with the old game... Well, you're probably wondering what all is going to be new.
Well, these are the features I want to add no matter what:
- Updated, slightly less awful art.
- Transitions (No more clunky background shifts and what not. Or, at least, less clunky shifts. )
- A CG Gallery
- Less typos (At least, that's the idea...)
- Possibly Audio (I'll probably upload a version without as well since I know some of you appreciate the smaller download size )
There are a few things I'm also debating like extra events and cgs, but I'm not going to promise those just yet. I wanted to hear from you guys first. If there was anything you wanted me to add to the game (anything you think would add to your enjoyment of the game), now is the time to speak up and let me know about it.
(Also, apologies to the mods if I should have just necroed my thread for the old game and announced this there. I wasn't sure which was the better way to approach it...)
