Eternal Genesis

Welcome to the Eternal Genesis project thread.

This is my first actual project that I want to work on, and I plan on making it to the best of my ability. I've been working on this game since September 07.

In a world that was almost destroyed into oblivion during the Elemental War 1000 years ago, humanity in the world of Ascensia has finally returned and everyone has gotten back to they're normal lives. The story follows a man named Emerson as he embarks on an adventure after being resurrected by a girl called Amalia Winters, whom he meets at Valchita University. Emerson has a virus called Genocitis. It's a deadly disease that has no effect on him until 15 days later at which he will die if it's not treated. Unfortunately for him, there is no known cure for the Genocitis. But that's not going to stop Emerson. Emerson and his best friend David embark on a journey to find the cure within 15 days. But when he sets out Amalia is kidnapped and Emerson goes to save her. But his reckless actions leads to her sad fate. Now, Emerson is even more determined to find the cure to help everyone he holds dear and save the world from becoming non-existent.

The Story In A Nutshell --Click here to view--

Genesis. The first element to ever exist in our planet Ascensia.
Revalation. The last element thought to have been vanished 100 years ago.
These two elements fused together would create an element so powerful, it could change the face of the universe forever.

~~Zenith

Emerson is a young man who lives a normal life. Just like everybody elses. But all that changes when Emerson goes on a field exam and finds a wierd plant in the forest and takes it back with him.

The field exam mission was to find a plant that will fuse with one of the preset plants back at the base, to make a life spell.

Emerson manages to bring back the plant known as the Genesip Plant.

There are one two Genesip Plants in Ascensia. One is kept in the Florana Forest. This one is gravely dangerous. The other one is kept in the Tahoma Ruins, and that one's effects still remain a mystery.

~~Zenith

Emerson passes his field exam with flying colours for bringing in a very rare plant and making a life spell of the Genesis Element.

And that's just the start of his problems...

The Command & Art Abilities Explained:
Art: Arts are ablilties that can only be used inside of battle. People who have Art abilities can enhance their stats and gain new skills by completing certain sidequest set for that character.

EXAMPLE: Emerson has the Swordsmanship Art. Emerson recieves a sidequest to train with a father's son to help grow stronger. You succeed in doing that and you learn a new skill or enhance your stats.

Command: Commands are abilities that can be used both inside battle and outside on the field. When near certain objects the player must press a key to activate that person's Command Ability. This can be used to proceed through a dungeon or something.

EXAMPLE: Metra's Control command is able to halt the movements of Guards or monsters to help you sneak by without getting noticed. Just press the "Q" key when prompted.

Character design is amazing, just going to put that out there.

It was all looking fantastic until I saw that one rogue screenshot with the character's face in the text box; the transparent color is off. Either make your clip smooth (i.e. get all that white out) or leave that box how it is. Looks good otherwise man, good luck!

[McTricky]

Thanks, Madriel. That faceshot error is fixed. That was an old screenshot. I guess I should take it out before viewers look away in disgust, eh?

[McTricky]

Okay, everyone. An official demo has now been released!! Check the "Demo Releases" for the demo!

[Aten]

I really don't like your characters. Maybe it's just because I don't like "cute" characters, and I definitely do not like... what are they called.... ah, "chibi" characters. So this turns me off your game, but from what I can see, you've obviously put a heck of a lot of work on this, good luck with it!

[dragonheartman]

Are those original characters? They look a bit like the ones from Gaia Online to me.

[McTricky]

The character designs are mine, but those battlers I used, TekTek to create GAIA styled battlers.

@Aten: Sorry to hear that. But just to let you know, those chibi battlers are place holders until I can get someone to do some animated battlers for me.
