[Show/Hide] Story

"After soaring for countless days,
high above an endless storm.

On a perilous mission, an intrepid crew
arrive in an unknown land.

Amongst them, many brave souls.
To free imprisoned comrades and once
loved heros, from certain death.

This is their story..."

The story starts out with a young new female recruit, Fuchsia, who joins the legendary vigil-anti group Gadabout.
Gadabout, lead by the infamous Captain Bur-Gundy, set out on a mission to free imprisoned comrades from the opressive clutches of rising empire, Lyontillus. Though it seems Fuchsia has a strange tie with the prisoner and ex-Gadabout member, Tomo.

Arriving at the prison, Fort Bullwark, run by the Marshal Bull. The mission takes a turn for the worse and all is not what it seems. Gadabout learn of a new dark threat that grows from within Bullwark. The brave Ctp. Gundy and Fuchsia along with many other crew members take it in their stride to end the deceit and corruption before it grows out of hand.

[Show/Hide] Characters

Captain Bur-Gundy:

Legendary leader of the vigil-anti group; Gadabout. He can get rather sloppy at his job at times, but his crew members look up to him with much respect. He becomes concerned about Fuchsia and has something to say when he learns of her connection with Tomo.

Fuchsia:

Fuchsia has great combat skills which the rest of Gadabout soon become aware of. They are happy to have her around to help out. She is very eager and rather emotional. All she wants is to free ex-Gadabout member, Tomo.

Ameth:

Ameth is second in command aboard the Gadabout's vessel. He is very stuborn and inwards. He does not like the idea of new a recruit right before a dangerous mission. Ameth has been growing distant from the rest of the crew members as of late.

Kredulous:

Young and naive, Kredulous doesn't have the most experience when it comes to soaring and fighting. But this time round, he is determined to show Gadabout what he can do!

Titian:

Titian is by far the strongest member of the Gadabout. He is the ships navigator along with other crew member; Cobalt. He can be a little hot headed... Brute strength first, questions later.

Bloodless:

Encountered and mistaken for a monster by Fuchsia, Bloodless befriends the crew and helps them on their mission. Although he has a mysterious story to tell and has no memory, he fights for his own cause.

Commander Morohtar:

The commander is head of the guards under Marshal Bull. Morohtar confronts Gadabout and tries to foil their plans. He is cowardly and never fights alone.

Tomo:

Mysterious unknown ex-Gadabout member...

Marshal Bull:

Captain of Fort Bullwark. Bull runs the show.

Downloading now. You know the drill. Can't promise i'll test it but i'll try.

Btw the "Lazy Guard" made me laugh.

[Zeffa]

Hee Hee, yeah dude Lazy Guard has a bit of a story to tell.

I will change that part of the thread... I'm not really looking for testers... It's just noone's played it yet, so I suppose these are tests in a way.

Hope you enjoy.

[livpj11]

Doesn't look too bad Zeffa. I'll download it now and give it a try on the train ride home tonight.

[Zeffa]

Awesome Liv, let me know what you think.

[livpj11]

OK I just played the demo up until I got on the training grounds. I ran into some guards that you can't escape from and got wasted. Unfortunately I hadhn't run into a save point since coming out of the sewers. I was however very impressed with the intro. I loved the scenes of the gabadot flying through the air. Really cool. You used the balloons a ton which bothered me a bit at first but after that I really liked them. The story was pretty solid and kept me wanting to find out what happened next. There was a couple parts that were pretty predictable but nothing too major. I also loved how you did the battle system. Having the Phantasy Star style made it fun. One thing you may want to consider is adding something to cancel web. It seemed like a lot of monsters used it there for the first bit. Overall though I'd give your game 3 1/2 stars. Pretty good stuff. Now I just have to get back in there and replay the last hour I lost.

[Despite]

I started playing this for a tad, the intro was very nicely executed. The mapping on the ship was also thumbs up.


So far so good, sorry I don't have more on it right now but I figured I'd let you know my first lil scoop on it so far. :V


EDIT: only thing I didn't like was the overuse of ballon emoticons :V

[Zeffa]

Thanks very much for the feedback.

You have both deffinately given me some things to think about tweaking.

And sorry that you got wasted by the guards, you could come back to that chest he's guarding later on if you wish. Did you happen to save in the Western Sewers after the prison part?

[livpj11]

Nope. I should have gone back but I kept thinking I'd run into another save cube somewhere along the way. The last spot I saved at was right when I came out of the sewers the second time.

[Yusshin]

I haven't played yet, but the mapping seems really nice :D I'm also a huge fan of sea-based things (Wind Waker is amazing, for example), so I should enjoy this :P 'Will post after.

[Zeffa]

Thanks Yuushin, Hope you enjoy it!

[juanantonio]

[ambalance]
