~~Introduction~~
A have made some descisions that i have finnally acted upon. Since the public has been forever waiting for the release of The original " The Dark Clou RPG" ( Which will most likly never be completed) I am taking action, and creating a Demo of The Dark Cloud RPG....in a new land.
*~*Story*~*
In this Demo, which i am hoping will be released very soon, You get to CHOOSE your character. Here is your story.
- In the land of Valland, The legendary continent of the Elves, a new threat has arrived...or should i say an old threat...
The Dark Cloud, defeated by Corith Gadin 270 years ago has arisen once again. although for many years, the Dark Cloud's influence has wained in the continent of Elora, they have crossed the great sea and climbed the cliff shores of Valland. They have now pressed deep into the land, and bring with them corruption and foul beasts and horrible creatures.
- In the Capitol of Valland, Yulandora, you are just an adventurer trying to make your way in life. News spreads quick of the Dark Cloud heading toward yulandora. Lucky for this capitol, the great Wall protects them from any attacks north. If this wall were to be besieged, it would be rather impregnable. However the king needs all able bodied warriors to combat the threat. You are one of these warriors. You will divulge in a world of mystery, conflict, and best of all.... FUN ! =)
Demo Features
The Following features are the features that will be included in the Demo :
1- Similiar in part to guild wars, you will have abilitiesthat arrange with your class. You will be able to have 2 classes. For instance, if you are a warrior, and you decide to be a priest as well, you can do some quests and you will be givin the priest abilities as well as warrior abilities ( even though you will not have the benifits of being a full fledged warrior or priest, you will get to expierence both worlds.)
2- There will be classically, and ESC attack style. Where in order to attack with your melle weopon you will have to press the ESC key. Strategiacally use this to inflict the most damage on your opponents while using spells and abilities to help further aid you.
3- Movement with arrow keys and an RPG camera will be in this demo. The Camera is perfectly smooth. Even though not Height variatent friendly, the terrain will be specailly layed out to prevent this from happeneing.
4- a 480 x 480 map of the World of Valland. This is 4 times the size of a regular 256 x 256 epic map. More exploration, dungeons etc will be done( Not in Demo, however when the demo becomes a whole map, dungeons will be included)
5- Realistic envirnment. high resolution models further enhance your gameplay expierence. Also features nice guild wars ambience and music.
6- Hopefully in the demo, there will be High resolution UNITS. This way it seems all the more real. Although the map size is big, it wont make much of a difference. The map size currently is about 56 MB.
**Team**
At the moment there is no team, i plan to recruit some members to help me finish this :
1 - Main Terrainer : Thedeathunterxx
Co Terrainer : Ozirus
2 - Main Scriptor :
Co Scriptor : Asomath ( Boss creator and triggerer )
Lord of Sausage ( GUI triggerer )
3 - Modeler :

~~~Screenshots~~~
Here are screenshots of the area that i have so far. I also added new ones for those who are thinking this map is wack.
1) This is the Evalla River, located due east of Yulandora, the capitol city. A serene and peacful landscape blessed by the elves to never drought.
2) This is the Epic grand city of Yulandora. A busy city filled with all sorts of humanoid beings, such as elves, dwarfs, humans, Harads and Ulanduls.
3) This is the Great Wall of Valland. Towering hundreds of meters in the air, it is nearly impregnable and stretches from the Angun Mountains to the Sea of Penadul.
4) This is the Warrior selection screen. you select your character here. An intuitive arrow key selection is used to help you select which character is right for you. The warrior is a strong Fighter
5) This is the Rogue selection screen. Rogues are quick and Agile.
6) This is the Mage selection screen. Mages are good at inflicting magical damage and obliterating enemies. ( The Ranger Screen is not up yet. )
7) and 8) These are Ingame shots of me testing the map with a ranger. Of course, the fundemental componenets of the classes are not put in yet. We will set up the units when i find an object editor.
