[Role Playing Game] Blood Rain Island

[Aka Gambit]

elcome to Blood Rain Island! A New ORPG.

You climb aboard the luxury transport ship that is about to set sail for fun and adventure, unbeknownst of the event that will change your life forever.

As you sail ahead over the clear waters you notice some clouds in the distance, you know a storm is heading towards you. You batten down the hatches and prepare your ship for a mild storm, however the storm that approaches is FAR from mild.

First comes the rain, which comes down like bullets hailing from the sky, and next the winds that cause twisters and typhoons across the sea. You hold on for your dear life as the storm rips apart you ship as if it were paper. In the confusion of the storm you do not see the mast snap and fall towards you. It hits your head with a clunk, and then all you can see is darkness.

A few days later you awake on the shore of an unknown Island. The skies are beat red, and the water surrounding the island has been dyed red from the blood of many battles.

You think to yourself: "What kind of hellish place have I drifted to?"
You notice some smoke, and a group of figures in the distance.
You do not get an answer to your question, however you now know why the seas are blood red and you can tell that your stay here will be nothing close to comfortable.

The horde of evil beings run towards you and in a flash your life was ended.

But almost like a ray of hope, some magic seems to be at work on this Island.
Your soul has reverted to its unborn state, along with other travelers who suffered the same fate as you.

You have so many questions and no answers, maybe some kind of trainer of souls can help you find the answers you are looking for.

For 1-9 Players.
It will play like most ORPGs but with my own twist on things.
The camera will be top down like normal Warcraft 3 with the option to toggle a locked following camera.
The map will mainly be story driven with added voice acting.

More info to come.

BRI will be highly quest driven, with the option to pure grind.
I will try my best to keep quests fun, unique and non repetitive. (none of this collect 20 of this then collect 20 of that then kill 10 of these, over and over)
Most quests will also further the story, as this ORPG will have rich story content.

-Equipment and Inventory System (Including custom GUI)
-Enhanced life/mana bars
-Custom Gear (including a grading system Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary)
-Fusion, Crafting, Gems & Socketing
-Equip-able weapons & shields (and possibly armor/helmet) on models
-Save/Load codes that write to a text file for easy use
-Single Player can be used and cheats can be used but you can not load a single player code in multiplayer.
-Custom Hero Creation (Choose the model, then primary stat, dice roll for the stats/hp/mp, then choose your skills) (Later, I would love to get a system similar to the one in http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/map-development-202/argos-rise-elements-orpg-163173/ )
-Currently there are spots for 42 different heroes. (I know its an odd number but thats what it is xD)
-Bosses, Minibosses, Elite Mobs
-Minigames
-Leaderboards
-Dungeons

Some things may be added/removed as the map progresses, I will update this list at that time.

Here is the first draft of the Island's Layout.

Map at 1% Completion

Here is some Heroes, and the mini-map shows some of the Island I have built.
Marvel at my horrid terraining skills xD

The early stages of the graveyard you will spawn in when you are finished making your hero. (WIP) I still need to add some more dreary effects to this, maybe some fog or something.

Did a little bit more work on the graveyard...still not getting something of any worth though.

Coming Soon...

[Veritas 117]

This looks interesting, I'll have to keep checking it out. Hopefully you'll have some screenshots soon.

I always like an interesting story with a lot of mystery, so far your teaser has me intrigued. Keep it up.

 

[Aka Gambit]

When there is something worth posting up then I will get a screenshot up.

 

[Legendary]

I hope This will be a awesome project hope for the best of Blood rain island

 

[ExecutorWar]

[Aka Gambit]

Added a screen shot and some rough work.

Nothing too great though so do not get your hopes up.

 

[Legendary]

[Aka Gambit]

Okay hehehe i'll be sure to support you

 

[Aka Gambit]

Added a screenshot of the work I completed today. I am done for the night, hopefully I can post up something nicer tomorrow.

(My terraining still stinks though xD)

 

[sonofjay]

Wow, that terrain is uhhmm, terrible, I hope you can get a decent terrainer since this one looks very interesting.

hahaha Don't make him feel bad though, im bad at terraining to but if we do our best maybe the result would be okay

@aka Gambit Yeah sonofjay is right but im not saying the terrain is bad

 

[Aka Gambit]

It is really bad I know I suck horribly at terraining lol, I am trying to get someone who is better at it to help, I am good at coding things and visualizing what I want it to look like...but not AT ALL good at actually making it look like the images in my head LOL

I already made a topic in the recruitment thread, as soon as I get a good terrainer then it should start looking less....like crap lol

 

[ExecutorWar]

lol jay, you're so mean *jk* anyway gambit, just listen to what he says. he's my master in everything. you'll be good, just try to read some tutorials and look some terrain photos. after that, use your imagination and UTM. im sure you'll be better in no time
