NEW UPDATED PROJECT THREAD: The Fall of Hummaria [Project]
=======================================================================

TEASER (v2.0) AVALIABLE HERE

Description:

I've had this project in mind for a long time... So now I finally decided to boot it.
It's just a teaser, explaining the beggining of the my fictional story.
I guess it's my first truly project... Because the others of mine have just cheesy storys

Story:

FIRST CHAPTER
_________________

Once upon a time there was a powerful and rich kingdom called Hummaria. It prospered until one day its king fell ill and perished. Without an heir, the royal house disappeared and a rich nobleman was elected king.

The new king quickly turned out to be a terrible ruler, desiring only wealth and pleasure.
Any sign of disobedience from the country's citizens was dealt with harshly. The years went by and the population grew ever more dissatisfied with its ruler. At age sixty the king died, leaving the throne to his son Elliard.

Though completely different from his father, Elliard was perceived to be just as bad by the people of Hummaria. At the very first day of his reign a rebellion broke out. Despite various attempts by the king to resolve the situation with ringleaders Jordan and Aspen, no progress was achieved.

There were not many options left for Elliard, but he eventually decided on probably the worst of them: repression. He followed in his father's footsteps, killing all rebels. Women and children included.

It was of no use. If anything, it only served to further anger the population. Yet Elliard had already gone to far to halt his repression.

The rebels' numbers increased over time as many of Hummaria's citizens chose to join the resistance. It did not take long for them to fight the guards. Soon the rebels outnumbered the Hummarian army and the guards stopped following Elliard's orders.

The king was facing a cliff... His own men against him, he was left with only the most loyal of his servants. In a final struggle to defend the kingdom they were unable to hold back the rebels. Elliard has no other option but to await his fate.

SECOND CHAPTER
_________________

After the fall of his beloved country, and his superior: Elliard, the general Dafar is marching with his troops, exiled from his own home.

He still remember the old days, when there's still a hope...
Now, after seeing disrespect and ignorance of Hummaria's people, he decided to restore Elliard's honour, at once for all.

Living in a small and abandoned town, with only a few injured soldiers in his command, he decided to counter attack those responsible for such act of blindness: the rabble of Hummaria.

After gathering as many volunteers and mercenaries as he could, he is going to payback the years of suffering and disorder that Elliard has been obligued to face.

Characters:

Black = Main characters
Gray = Not-so-main characters

Elliard - The sucessor of William Morgan. People think he is like his father, but actually he's completely different.

Sergeant Amber - One of the most loyal king's servants. He believes that he will manage to restore Hummaria's peace.

General Dafar - Elliard's closest friend and the most important officer from the kingdom.

General Lothar - Another hummarian general, he have almost the same power of Dafar, however he's not so reliable, as he've been pointed by the newly crowned King Elliard's father, William Morgan, to join the royality.

Aspen - An ordinary young man who lives in the village of Whistelan, and will change everybody's life, and with his brother, Jordan.

Jordan - An ordinary young man who lives in the village of Whistelan, and will change everybody's life, along with his brother, Aspen.

Joe Lemon - Just a greedy dock keeper from the village of Winsthelan, who earns money from you.

Jack Connor - Captain of Hummaria's army. He's one of the many officers of the lineage.

Ben Ethan - The man who tries to murder Elliard after his speech... He was sent by an unknown master.

David Owen - One of the commanders from the resistance.

Thyler - The leader of the resistance... Or at least he was before being killed by the Hummarian army.

Catherine - Elliard's wife. She disappears after seeing he slaughtering the rebels, realizing that he's not the man who she loved a few years ago.

Gameplay:

This campaign is focused in the main story, so don't expect many curls.

The beggining of the first scenario, the gameplay will be very calm... The pace at which you walks, it will be increasing the action, going to battles, to large wars.

Although, many options will be given to you; like helping other peoples, doing sidequests... But again, this will not disprut the main story; it's just time-pass until you become ready to command your troops.

Section in progress...

Features:

Gray = Might be done
Black = Will be done

A RPG-ish and long gameplay, with quests, items and much more;

Much poolishment before releasing;

A quite creativy story (IMO);

A lot of eye-candy: A new type of fences, new type of indoor cut-scenes, new type of harbors and much more!;

You will play in the both sides, travelling back to the past;

A very detailed map;

Pretty good sound effects;

Skippable cut-scenes (by taunts);

Sidequests!;

~~A new system of difficulties! You can re-choose it at every stage! (By tipping 1,2 or 3 before entering them)~~;

~~Not levels, but ranks! You can become a soldier, a captain and much more!~~;

Much more to be done yet!

To be honest, I think your English needs a lot of work... The story is somewhat cliche too, but hey, maybe you can pull it off! Hopefully the trailer will show us a little more of your designing abilities

Well, I guess it's not a cliche, cause I made the teaser telling in the king's POV...
But thanks for your words. The first part is almost done.
About the english; I corrected (in the campaign not here

)
many times, I hope it is understandable.
@EDIT: Teaser already submitted, just need to be approved.

When this project's nearing completion, try to find a playtester who is adequately fluent in English language. You can then ask for his help to find out all the typos and grammatical errors throughout your campaign and report them for you to be fixed.

A native translator is always better than Google translate, trust me.

I've just watched the teaser at the Blacksmith and I can safely say the mapdesign is probably one of the best we've seen so far this year. Some minor points though:

- The zip archive weighs in at around 19 mb, which seems unnecessarily heavy to me considering the fact that you could easily use soundfiles with a lower bitrate than 320 kpbs. (Which apparently is supported now by the UserPatch?)
- I would recommend checking with someone with a good grasp of English to improve the language used. It was the only thing that prevented me from getting drawn in the scenario.

Edit:
Where are my manners? The file is up at the Blacksmith!

Very thanks for your good words and construtive suggestions.

@DEAD_END: I will try to fix the sounds..
About the grammar I will also search for someone who knows english very well before releasing.
It won't be like my other campaigns, my prediction to release is in the final of 2014. Because I want to poolish it as much as I can

I was thinking if it would be a good idea make a prologue, which contains just the village scene (the beggining) and the intro (Elliard making his speech).
Would it?
