Ander's Journey is a very ambitious, highly nontraditional RPG made using RPG Toolkit, and is set in a world where magic-based technology is becoming supreme. The world is no deadlier than it's ever been, yet unbeknownst to anyone, a set of events is brewing that will shake the world to it's core.
The Game Apart
Ander's Journey is traditional in many ways, in that you collect items, traverse the dangerous, creature-infested terrain of Ander's world, yet it's untradional in that every entity is a thinking, feeling entity powered by a powerful emotion and need-based AI script routine. Where some enemies are small and powerless, they flee you as you come near...others are far less peaceable. Even in the battles, enemies act based on their emotions, as well as the tactical situation.
Of course, the nonrandom battles aren't the only places where this exists--Ander's Journey is a thinking, feeling world, where your actions (whether story-based or otherwise) are remembered and acted upon. If you are kind and live up to the journey ahead of Ander, it will be far more rewarding than snubbing any and all whom you encounter.
Characters
For the Base Tech/GFX Demo, the characters will be:-
Ander Geldgion
Age: 31
Ander is a hunter who has lived quietly in the village outside of the Silvo Woods for many years. He's the hero of Ander's Journey, and is carrying memories of a past that, though long-gone, haunt him still...
-
Sara Cromadgin
Age: 24
Sara, a 1st Lieutenant in the Althiman Imperial Military, is a Shieldmage that provides Ander with comfort in the face of the loss of his entire home, village, and wife. Her shieldmagic employs powerful barriers that can stop even the most powerful of enemies in their tracks.
-
Davis Nightwalker
Age: 20
Davis, an Ensign 2nd Class in the Althiman Imperial Military, and recent graduate of the Althiman Imperial Military Academy, is swiftly on his way to becoming a Dark Knight despite being a master archer. Though his bow and long knife are deft in combat, he can't quite understand Ander at times...and suspects that he's hiding something quite nasty.
-
Ricardo Nalucar
Age: 36
Ricardo is an 2nd Lieutenant in the Imperial Military's Sapper Corps--his traps pack more than a little bang when properly employed. Contrary to his skills, however, Ricardo has a voice of reason that can even make Davis' hotheadedness stop in it's tracks. Ricardo, being the oldest member of Ander's Team, also serves somewhat as a fatherly figure for the others...though he's only 5 years Ander's senior.
Story Thus Far
