Story

Paper Knight's Story is a turn-based RPG set in the world of an old fairy tale.  However, unlike your typical story, the characters have become aware of the book's ending: the Kingdom is destroyed!  Having learned of this most troubling spoiler, the Kingdom decides to do... nothing.  Everyone is much too afraid of The Sad Ending or too busy seizing their last days to try and change their destiny.  There is, however, one lowly boy who finds the courage to try and stop the The Sad Ending from happening.  He sets out on a quest to find the Author's Pencil, an ancient relic said to have the power to change The Sad Ending into The Good Ending, and with the help of magical beasts known as the Apostropha, Nait very well may be able to save the Kingdom.  That is, unless Antag the Dark has his way!

Characters
Nait- When the world needed a knight, this unlikely mage rose to the ocassion. Seemingly a typical silent protagonist, but the third-person omniscient Narrator gives us a glimpse into his mind. He's more genre-savvy that some of the other characters in the game. Tasked with finding the Author's Pencil, Nait is willing to do what most other residents of the Kingdom aren't.

The Master Scribe-Ever so often, the Great Book reveals another page and another prophetic piece of the future. The Master Scribe, along with the scribes who work with him, are tasked with deciphering the ever changing code of the book and relaying that info to the masses.

The Knights-After a too-long peace, the Knights aren't as well-trained as their forefathers. Now that evil is on the rise, will they be enough to stop it?

???/Antag the Dark-Little is known about him, except that he's been prophesied to best the Hero at the end. Rumor has it that he once lived in the Kingdom...

Goldy the Bandit Bear
Goldy, the kleptomaniacal Bandit Bear shunned from her clan of bandits for breaking the Bandit Bear Golden Rule: never steal from a fellow Bandit Bear. Her goal is to find (steal) the Aurthor's Pen, and rework that bit of irony from her backstory. Although she bears (ha!) no ill-will towards Nait, their paths often cross.

Particle Engine

(scenes from the upcoming intro video)

Today I was able to make a simple particle engine for use in Paper Knight's Story. It's certainly a different type of script than what I'm used to doing, and not terribly original, but it's important that I figure out how to do these kinds of things. I want to release the Particle Engine, and other scripts I make, to the public before PKS is officially released.

In other news, I've been able to put in consistant work on the introduction of the game now that my focus has shifted from battle. There are still a few more scenes I need to get out of the way, but overall the production has been going well.
