Eylan [Working Title] - New Project!!

Title: Eylan [Working Title]
Setting: Present Day
Genre: Action/RPG
Plot: Imagine a world where light is not a boundary. Light is merely an option. The light we see, we feel, we live in is only one of many waves on the electromagnetic scale. Visible light is simply a way things are presented to us. What if that all changed.

Light is but an option.

Welcome to the dark and lonely world of Eylan Peterson, age 18. Just a normal kid. Everyone passes Eylan by as an ordinary kid. An outcast to some. But the story of Eylan is not just a simple tale of a depressed, hated kid. It’s the story of an amazing gift. That which none other than he possess. You see, for Eylan Peterson, light is but one of many, many options. A choice. One choice that can change his life forever…

Basic Idea: A young man, Eylan Peterson, is gifted with the ability to see in any of the electromagnetic waves after a rendezvous with a demon. He now must save not only the people around him from the demons that live in the other layers, but must also struggle with a battle inside.

What I Have Done:

  • Main character, fully modeled, textured and rigged.
  • Possible girl (supporting character) concept and description
  • Main story lineAs you can see, this game is still in pre-production. The reason I went ahead and made Eylan was to have something to offer in my post. I hope you like it:

I need some help, and am considering looking for a creative team to aide in the story line and script creation. I intend on doing the rest by myself. If you are interested in helping, please PM me, leave a reply to this post, or email me.

Note: This project is still in early pre-production. All subject matter, images, and ideas are subject to change.

Sounds cool, and the character looks very nice indeed!

I’ve finished all my exams now so i might help if i can think of some way i can help out, could you list the stuff you need help with and the stuff you are doing yourself or something like that please?

Character looks decent. Good work.

Looks great! (well it doesn’t take much to get over my project’s current state)(or actually the rushed off preliminary demo)

Thank you. I basically need someone to help me with a story. I also need someone to give me an idea/ come up with a style of fighting. I dont really know yet, but Im considering a Kingdom Hearts/FF style of combat where you have basic attacks, but with a simple action can queue up a spell or special move. I also need someone with a www.3d.sk membership that can slip me some reference. JK = )… Oh yes, any other ideas will gladly be considered.

The monkey looks bretty good. How many polys he have?
Hope you will finish it !:smiley:

heh? please explain…

man you guys are postin to fast for me… Eylan (aka the Monkey…apparently…) is about 850 faces, but I may reduce him some if neccesary.

Just that I managed to put up a really rushed demo of my game. And, well, y’know what happens when you don’t take your time doing projects…

I wouldn’t mind helping on the story, I can’t devote much time to it though. feel free to PM me if you want help or whatever.

In terms of the fighting, I liked Tales of symphonia’s fighting (that’s about the only thing in the game I could stand)- pretty staple ff style rpg (world map, random battles, etc.) but the battles are real-time. I dunno if you’ve played it, but the combat system is pretty fun/robust/simple/skill based (that is, more player’s ability, less luck). I think star ocean also does this, but I haven’t played that.

tales sounds interesting. can you describe it better/post screens?

Oh yeah, i also need an animator. My animation skills arent…

P.S. im posting from my PSP

Tales of Symphonia Wikipedia link <- clicky
(wikipedia = best quick info source, ever)

im posting from my PSP
hmm, isn’t it a pain to not have a keyboard? even on my ppc, which has a touch screen enabling moderate typing speeds (I occasionally post from that) it’s a pain. I’ve watched my brother/friends entering text on their psp’s, kinda looks like a pain. grats anyway though, I kinda want a psp, but I’m not sure I want to shell out the money.

I’m not sure I’m any better at animating, but throw a model and a list of animations to be made my way and we’ll see if I can’t help.

Sorry to be offtopic here BUT if you want something to just browse the web… dont get one. I hear games arent that good… As for the game, well, its definitely different. But don’t we have too many stories about a depressed goth/emo kid? please, make it a happy story!

Its kinda funny how he went from depressed to hated? Seems odd for a hero, maybe untested hero would be better?

ititrx: i see him more as an antihero

oblivion: thanks for the offer
