News on progress-
-The "Numb" status effect is implimented, and works well. Though the status effect won't be used much, it was a great learning experience in coding. (the numb status effect causes you to be unable to determine how much health a character has)
-Finally got a working FMV player in the game, now to actually make the FMVs....
-Level Web system is partway done, I have the part that increases your stats finished, but not the part that you learn skills from.
-Battle system is partially functional
Story-
250 years after Ziddane defeated Kuja, and protected the crystal, A new hero arises, named Ashram. An assasin with a warm heart, and cold sense of duty. On a regular mission, he finds a young 12 year old girl named Alice, who justhappens to want to return to the same town as Ashram, so Ashram escorts her, and then, something is revealed about her heritage that will change the entire world.
Characters
Ashram- 37, An assasin, the hero of the story, he is an asshole, though if he promises to do something, he will either do it, or die trying. He also has a deep secret lying within him. He also has a mysterious symbol on the back of his left hand. He wields two katars.
Alice- 12, a young girl, who is half angel, and has a great sense of duty, the entire weight of the world rests upon her shoulders. She uses a sling
Burns- 25 One of Ashram's fellow assasins, always having a good time, with questionable sexual orienation, he is definately the reason Ashram sleeps on his back. He uses two revolvers as weapons
Vrell- 23- A priest of the church of Lindblum, he seems to know much lore, and is wise beyond his years.
Grathe- A mysterious suit of technological armor that is semi-sentient. This armor was named after the brave warrior who attempted to seal away a demon 225 years ago, but died in the process, it is believed that his assistant, Pidey attempted to fuse Grathe's soul to the armor, though that is pure speculation. His weapon of choice is large blunt objects (eg. Door, ladder, tree trunk, support beam)
Golodom- This guy appears and has mysterious motives, but his weapon is even stranger....
??? - A demon that was supposed to be sealed up two hundred twenty five years ago, his name was lost throughout history.
Pidey- The other warrior sent by Dagurerro 225 years ago to seal a demon. He was sent with Grathe. Very little is known, it is possible that he was the one that sealed the demon away, but it is unconfirmed, it is also unknown when/if he died.
Screenshots- Saddly none yet
Level Web system
In this game, you level up in an unusual manner, onceyou obtain the "level grid" item, you may use it in the inventory to make your characters stronger. Depending on which node you select, the character's stats will increase diffrently. Activating a node costs XP, and nodes can be activated multiple times each. Each character also has a home node, and the further from the home node the node you activate is, the higehr the XP cost to activate the node.
