--- The Dark Cloud ---
The perfect RPG.
~~~~ Features ~~~~
These are the features that have so far been implemented :
-Map size has been increased to 480 by 480. This means the map is 4 times bigger than an epic size map. More exploration can be done and the game will be effectivly much longer and funner.
- A 3rd person camera system. There are 7 different cameras, which can alter your view of the envirnment around you, and can be adjusted to your comfort to enjoy it to the fullest.
- A unique action style of gameplay. Instead of Typical RPG's where you stand in one place and do mindless attacking, you must use wit, cunning, skill and speed to properly slay a creature. For instance, your sword is usable with the use of the ESC button, allowing a good flexibilty on where, who, and when you can attack.
- This map uses High Resolution models, so your envirnment seems very real, nearly flawless.
- You are able to explore the insides of houses. Simply approach the door, and you are able to explore the inside of castles, corridors, shops, houses etc..(Edit : You are now able to explore ALL houses. After much consideration, i have made it so that no extra space is consumed in creating houses. The only unenterable houses are houses that are to small to be entered
...but thats only 4 out of maybe 100 houses...)
- A unique weopon/ equipment system ( not entirly finished ) where you equip a weopon, and gives you different attacks. Its very unique indeed.
- An arrow key movement system with noise. You are able to move your character by using the arrow keys, and when you walk, your character will make realistic footsteps.
_________________________________________________________________
These are the features that have NOT been implemented, but will soon be :
- A unique talking system, where you are able to speak with other characters ( Dont confuse this with an actual conversation, it is not an entered chat string system. )
- Many quests will keep the game interesting, even though it is not a entirly linear RPG, it will have a storyline.
- There will be " proffesssions " that you can learn. For instance, You are able to lockpick chests ( locked chests are spread out over the Game ) and you are also able to learn how to craft weopons, gather flowers to make fun potions and many more.
- there will be many books in the world, where you can read them ( many of them have tips on where to find items, defeat legendary creatures, make complicated armors,etc..)
~~~~ There will be more features added, when ideas are contributed.

I realized that my thread may be a bit misleading. The title of the thread " The Perfect RPG " only signifies the goal i intend to reach with this map. In other words, i WANT this to RPG to be perfect. It is not done yet, so dont assume that i am bragging or anything because it is not even close to being finished. I appreciate feedback of all sorts. Ideas and support are also welcomed warmly to this thread as well.

~~---Storyline ---~~
The Dark Cloud is an organization of evil. Assembled when the New World was discovered. The Group usto have the name " The Silver Sky ", for they weren't always evil. However, when two individuals, the leaders of the "Elorian's" and" The Silver Sky" had a dispute over the land that they claimed. they began to show discontent for one another.
Until the year 954, all was well. for the "Elorian's" had settled near the pine shores, and "the Silver Sky" had moved further in land in a land they called Sarnvartol . However, an unknown manifestation had corrupted their people.
Between the years of 958 and 1014 , a long a dreary war had been raged between the two factions, as the Dark Cloud ( which they were renamed to )
threatened to end all existing life other than them and a strange demonic people called the valltirie.
the war ended when the dragons from the old world came to the new world. The dragons slew all that stood in there way. The settled in the monolith mountains, which border the main passes between Elora and The Dark Cloud.
The year is now 1734. Peace has been fragile. recently strange sittings of sick and twisted beings have been seen wandering around Elora. It seems that the Dark Cloud has finnally found a way to Elora without having to pass the monolith mountains. Not only that, but it seems that they have enlisted some of their dragon ranks into their own.
The boiling point is here. you and your character will unravel into a story of epic proportion. For you have no idea your importance in what will happen next.
---- Something Else -----
This is the link to a cinematic series that i started. I was hoping it would become as famous as the Sect of the Holy Mother series. So here

It doesn't really have anything to do with The Dark Cloud, but it does take place in the Dark Cloud world. It takes place in Valland, which is not available for playing yet in this map ( perhaps in an expanision when it gets done.)

:::::::: ~~~ Screenshots ! ~~~ ::::::::
1) The first Screenshot is a screenie of the entrance to the Monolith mountains, Where a dragon clan resides. This is the the 2nd to the last hardest zone on the map ( Next to the Dark Cloud Castle )
2 ) The Second Screenshot is a screenie of the inside of Dragons Post, a watch tower stationed at the entrance to the Monolith Mountains ( So far it has no people in it. )
3) the third screenshot is a screenie of Ezmeraldine. This is the farthest land from the reach of the Dark Cloud. It is almost untouched by any human presence. However the Dark Cloud is well aware of this land, and is approaching ever faster to it.
4) The fourth Screenshot is the character screen. You will be able to do many things on this screen, such as change your elemental affinity, equip armor, and view certain stats. The scenery of the character screen is just for looks, so that you could have something to look at as you view stuff.
5) The fifth Screenshot is a screenie of The Crag Fields. Seth stands in front of one of the four giant statues in the Crag fields. Who the statues are depicting is unkown...
The perfect RPG.
