Time Break - My Videogame Project!

Hey there! How's everyone? I'm kinda new to GameSpot forums, but I've been a regular user of this site and GameFaqs for many years now.

I want to "celebrate" my first post with you guys by presenting the videogame I'm creating on rmxp, 'Time Break'. I've been working on this project for a year and half all by myself.

I decided to create this game because I love videogames and RPG's, and I decided to take this passion to another level - creating videogames.

Leave you here with download link to the Detailed Synopsys, Demo and Official Intro! Hope you like it, and hope to see feedback! ;)

Cheers!

Yeah, need some screen shots and info about the game, also you say it's a demo, does that mean we will have to pay for the full one? :/fudgeblood

Of course not, it's going to be absolutely free. I will publish my game all over the internet when it's done.

For some info check out the detailed synopsys in the link I posted. ;)

Sorry, my bad... Here, some screenshots: (In full version there are many things better worked)

Judging by them screenshots thar, it's not something I'd pay for. More like some free crappy Asian MMO, no offence.fudgeblood

TC did say it'll be free...

The game looks a lot like an old freeware rpg i had played...might give it a try

Well, you got to give him credit for the effort he has put into it at least plus it's created by a simple software for anyone to use rather than those more hardcore ones that game companies use.

Looks nice.Good luck!

Nice artstyle. Looks like an upgrade of the old Zelda games. I'll give the demo a try.

Thanks! ;) There are some bugs in the demo and some incompleted maps, but you can get the idea of the game.

Plus, I'm working alone in this... It's very hard really :S Thanks for the support!

Cheers!

That looks pretty cool. Did you create all of those graphics yourself? It looks really nice. I'll give it a try later when I have more time.zomglolcats

Yeah, many of them I created.

Sure ;)

Oh, what about the story, what did you guys think?

Cheers!

you did a great job with the artwork, mate, i'm bloody impressed. :D care to put up the synopsis right here?

and i noticed you're using the player character as your GS avatar. i don't know about the game but your artwork is definitely A OK in my book.

Jinroh_basic thanks mate! :D A lot of the artwork comes with the program, but still it's very difficult to "draw" and design the maps. Especially that I'm no expert in design :S I really tried to call more people into this project, but no one seemed interested...

Sure, I'll post the Synopsys here, but a Warning - It's a bit big :D

DiableHunter thanks! :D I'll answer those questions here, is that ok? That way everybody can see. ;)

- Well, I tried not to expand too much the maps, and there some caves in my game. ;)

- I've been using RPG Maker XP. It's a better version of 2000.

- Well, it really depends on what every person. For example, I'm taking a professional computers course, and sometimes teachers allow me to make the game in their classes (this game will also be my final course project). And when I come home, I usually spend a hour or two creating the game. Right now I'm on vacation, so I usually work for about 2-3 hours per day. Like I said, it's very tiring doing it alone, but hey.... Dedication is all you need! ;)

- For your last question... I'll be honest, it's a very hard work. I thought making games and RPG's was somehow easy, but now I totally respect who wants to enter the gaming industry. It's a very hard work, but it's really great! The opportunity to make our own story, our own characters... it's just amazing. And I've published my game in some sites and I got wonderful feedback and awful and flaming critics... So we have to be willing to accept everything. But no matter what, I'm very proud of my work! ;)

Thanks! If you have any more question just say it.

Cheers!

INTRODUCTION TO TIME BREAK:

Time Break is a project that I've started a year ago, and only now I've decided to post this. As I'm a huge fan of RPG's, I've decided to start an adventure in RPG Maker XP, and I have to tell you that it's tiring, but at the same time it's amazing! The opportunity to make our own story, our own world, it's just great. Well, I'll show here some brief aspects of my game. This game doesn't has too much flashy stuff, like huge animations, great world map, amazing game modes or so. It's just a simple RPG with a compelling story, in my opinion the best thing in my game. A good RPG needs to have a great story! Well, I hope you'll like this presentation.

TEAM:

Ergh, just me... That's why I urge you to have some considerations in your critics... I'm doing the game all by myself, and I'm no expert in programming.

STORY:

The story goes around Alex and Shadow, two characters from the world of Gaia (year of action: 572). Seth, "The Mind Lord" was their master and mentor, training them all of his life until his tragical death. Already in advanced age, these warriors and friends get to know about the existence of a magical artefact, the Time Crystal. This artefact has the power to control time and space, and its user can summon it and fulfil the most dark desire. However, this artefact its independent, and can fulfil the desire of its summoner or can create a tragedy, and alter time and space.

By knowing the existence of this artefact, Alex and Shadow want immediately its power, but each one with different desires in mind. Alex wants to control time in order to meet with his beloved master once again, and Shadow wants to control all humanity with her evolved dark powers.

Due to the beginning event, Shadow triggers the crystal, and she and Alex get lost in time. That's when we get control of Alex, the main character. They are now in Terra, year 2000. Where they're objective is to discover what happened to the artefact, but the story is full of surprises.

I will now present you the characters.

CHARACTERS:

Alexander "Alex" Skyllar

Age: ?

Birthplace: ?

**** Telepath

Weapon: Mace

Alex is the main character for most part of this adventure. He's an amazing Telepath raised in Gaia, who accidentally appears in Terra. His age and birthplace are a mystery. With his telepathy, he can hear most of people thoughts surrounding him, and he can use some amount of energy and throw it to a foe. He also possesses the power of fire which can be very useful abilities, combined with his telepathy. He evolved these powers alongside Seth, his master, a Mind Lord.

Alex is a very wise ancient with a nice personality. He's always ready to help the one in need, giving always his best. Through the story, he will meet several unique characters, getting the sympathy and respect of all of them. Everyone will see him as the leader.

"Shadow"

Age: ?

Birthplace: ?

**** Dark Mage

Weapon: Mace

Shadow is the friend and rival of Alex. Her age and birthplace are unknown too.

The two of them received the best training from Seth, despite Shadow don't have the same powers than her master and Alex. Seth and Alex developed powers from the mind but Shadow always had dark powers, and these dark powers can be more destructive than her friend's telepathy. This is the power that will originate the distortion of time, leading Alex and Shadow to another time.

Shadow is an amazing mage ancient; however, she is obsessed with power. She is also lost in Terra like Alex, and their meeting is something that the two of them want more than anything.

Rayane Daraus

Age: 18

Birthplace: Rockwell County

**** Holy Princess

Weapon: Flail

Rayane is the first character to interact with Alex. She grew up in Rockwell, spending most of her time training in Rockwell Castle under orders of her parents, King Seik and Queen Oria. This hard training resulted in the awaking of her holy powers. Due to these events, she got the title of Holy Princess of Rockwell.

Rayane never travelled to another cities or countries, and now that she entered majority, she will want to travel and get to know the world. Interacting with Alex will be a huge help to get what she want.

Her speciality is healing powers, often useful for the team. Her dream is to be the captain of the "Angel Knights", Rockwell's Elite Force.

She is a very cheerful person, always smiling and optimistic.

Sir Daniel "Dan" Comotto of Rockwell

Age: 35

Birthplace: Rockwell County

**** Angel Knight Captain

Weapon: Axe

Dan is a condecorated knight in Rockwell. His actions during the war that assolated the continent were the reason for this condecoration, and the King and Queen did the right thing, by giving this honour knight a proper promotion. He is the captain of the "Angel Knights", and during the story his main objective will be protecting and watching over Rayane.

Dan will join Alex on his quest, due to a sort of favour. He is also pursuing a mysterious organization that wants to attack the County. His abilities are very strong and useful; we can say he is the main brute force of the group. His axe skills are legendary among every knight, making of Sir Dan a fine and respectful warrior.

Cody Sint

Age: 22

Birthplace: Trybil

**** Exiled Thief

Weapon: Knife

Cody is a confused and lost boy. One day, he realized that the only good ability he had was stealing, and he used that ability in his own village. Due to this acts, Cody was exiled and expelled from his hometown. He decided to wander around the world, until settling up in his village again, now hidden.

When the team has a strong encounter with Cody, he asks if Alex could show a way in his life, as he wants to remediate his acts from the past.

Cody his an extremely fast character, trademark of his abilities. He uses speed and intelligence to attack his opponents. He is very rebel, but a kind person.

Ruby Sint

Age: 23

Birthplace: Trybil

**** White Mage

Weapon: Mace

Ruby is Cody's older sister. She is a sweet but futile girl, who gives too much important to material things. When Cody got expelled from the village, she was mad at him, but a short time after she began to look for her little brother. The brothers expect to have an emotional encounter.

Like Rayane, Ruby possesses white powers, which is the ability to heal and help the team. However, Ruby can attack foes too as she developed the power of Light, a devastating attack, the opposite of Darkness. She controls perfectly the powers of Light, and she and Rayane will be rivals in white magic.

Mark Alleway

Age: 24

Birthplace: ?

**** Monk

Weapon: Gloves

Mark is a recognized monk from the Cloud's Monastery, an hidden secret monastery, only known by the great masters around the world. Mark decided to join this life of absence early, still a child. He and Noah were the best friends until each one departed for different routes and life****. By entering this monastery, Mark received the best training and education, developing an enormous power within, knows as the "Chakra Raise". This power requires a lot of concentration and spirit, in order to perform skills to aid and to attack.

Mark is a very shy and quiet boy, but there's no one more trustful than him. Sometimes we think that he doesn't care about what's going on, but he has a lot of will to help and to give his best at any situation.

Now that he knows that Noah might be nearby, he also wants to meet with his best friend.

Noah Holtz

Age: 25

Birthplace: Snow North

**** Sniper

Weapon: Gun

Noah is Mark's best friend. They grew up together, until Mark decided to join the monastery. Noah didn't accept his friend's decision and he decided that he wanted to be someone important too. When he found out about the existence of a rebel organization, he saw there an opportunity. By doing numerous and dangerous missions, he developed an amazing skill with guns, becoming a professional sniper. Now he's a freelancer wondering around the world. Despite the friendship he had with Mark, he's now a cold-hearted person. Will their reencounter be what Mark desires?

Noah has great and useful rear skills thanks to his gun, gun that he uses like nobody else.
