Mercenary Maiden (PS) Options

[Strawberry]

 

Welcome! In order for me to create and finish something on my own, I began working on my own personal project - and this is the result!
 
~Synopsis~
Mercenary Maiden takes place in the fantasy world of Aleria and follows the story of Sylria Quill; a young lady trying to obtain a positive reputation by joining a Mercenary's Guild. 
 
As an initiation test, the Guildmaster sends Sylria and fellow recruit Zakki Reinholdt on their first mission. Together they must work together in order to kill a creature inhabiting the Syron Mines. 
 
Their success will allow them to become full-fledged Mercenaries.
 
~Characters~

Sylria Quill
Age: 19 | Race: Elf | Height: 5'4" | Weapon: Rapier
 
Timid, and even naive at times, Sylria's kind spirit often pushes her to help others - regardless of the situation it puts her in. Despite her frail nature she is quite capable of handling herself in battle and when forced to fight, her courage is renewed.
 

Zakki Reinholdt
Age: 22 | Race: Elf | Height: 5'11" | Weapon: Greataxe
 
Like our protagonist, Zakki is new to the Mercenary's Guild. His repetitive irritated-like attitude and lecturing ways often clash with Sylria. He is very serious to the core, and always puts his mission before anything else.
 
~Features~
* Astral Magic System: It probably sounds more cool than it actually is, but what it means is that each character has two slots dedicated to equipping Astralite Orbs. Equipping various Orbs gives the character a selection of magic to choose from and also gives various effects to the wearer - though not all is always positive. Using Astral Magic in battle costs "AE" or "Astral Energy".

* Quest Log: Essentially a journal that lists all the quests obtained by the player. Although it is currently implemented I have not fully utilized it yet to create side quests. 


* Fame System (future idea): Simply lets the party earn positive or negative reputation through dialogue and quests. It made sense since it was the purpose for Sylria to become a Mercenary in the first place.

I have to say, this is really an interesting concept. I do like the Fame System.

Is there going to be like multiple endings in this game with the Fame System affecting it?

[Strawberry]

That would be a fantasical idea! I might think about it!

I have finished Zakki's bust portrait now, by the way!

[Dark Kyu]

Cool! Hope to hear more.

Also, is Zakki supposed to be a half human half elf? Because the profile said that he's human. Well, mostly because he has that elf ear in his picture.

So far not that bad at all I do have a small question. How do you make your maps? Parallax or normal?

[Strawberry]

@Dark Kyu

He's an elf. Typo.

@hainkiwanki

I used the editor. Why?

[hainkiwanki]

I don't know, seems like u use alot of tiles. Was jut wondering xD

[Strawberry]

Haha, yeah. I've never actually parallaxed before. I just always used the editor. XD

For using the editor only the mapping is fairly decent. I'll keep an eye on this project. Looks good!
