LOKI123546'S PROFILE

Renaissance - The Destiny Anew
Renaissance - The Destiny Anew is my current game in production. The other ones are cancelled for the time being.

The project main-page is here.

Gameplay
Gameplay consists of minigames and battles, and exploration. Rarely the player will be introduced to mass amounts of gameplay, but this may happen sometime inside the game. The game is basically using a God Of War type battle system although it may not fully function as the opposing battle systems, battles can always be won or lost. Death is permanent, meaning you lose all of your progress if you lose a battle. Use the 'Patches' to configure the game so it plays different chapters.

Synopsis
The elven race are currently on the brink of war, which is caused by the Phantoms, annoying little creatures that have no innocence at all. Their powers are remarkable, but devistating as well. The city of Cela has been destroyed by the Phantoms. Training must begin for a hero that must stop this entire war before it breaks the two races into shreds.

Races
Human - The most general race of the game. They occupy most of the world.

Elven - A very intellegent race. While some elves do not have as much strength as they do in wisdom, their powers are stronger than those of humans.

Dwarf - Short, hairy, angry little men who specialize in mining and other such things. They do not possess magical powers, but can cast magical healing, fire, and poison attacks up to the basic level.

Aura - A race made completely out of magic. They must take form of either an elven or a human, but their power limits are the same, nevertheless. The Aura are magical beings, capable of unleashing crushing magical blows of any of the two races.

Phantom - A dispised race by the elvens. They are dark, shadowy beings created by the dire darkness that keeps them alive. They cannot survive in light for so long, as it's their weakness. However, at night, their power is strengthened greatly.

Weapons

Swords - They are fast, and strong, but some may not be as durable. There are 12 kind of sword weapons to equip.

Axes - Big and heavy, they deal crushing blows while maintaining high durability. They are slow, however. There are 8 different axes to equip.

Hammers and Maces - These vary in size, strength, and speed. Hammers are the strongest but slowest, and Maces are a bit medium. There are 10 different hammers and maces to equip in the game.

Other weapons - Other weapons include spears, daggers, etc. There is still an un-countered number of these weapons.

A bit more story, and a less bit more of gameplay
So to speak, there is a small amount of gameplay, but more than enough to make it a playable RPG. There is a lot of story based things in the game, and it's played similar to God of War. It retains some features of the battle system while having three different magics.

Battle System
The battle system is a fully custom designed ABS that was programmed to be like God of War. The player can utilize three kinds of powerful magic each learnt from a beginning boss, except the first one is learnt by the hero himself. The battle system is compactable with the menu which opens by pressing the Shift key. However, it does not require the player to be very close to the enemy to draw and strike with the weapon. It's also realistic, meaning that the player must 'Draw' his weapon by pressing the "*" key on the Numpad. This is also the same way to put away your weapon.

Controls
A quick re-cap of the controls.

Z, Enter, Space - Confirm key, and strike key. (Strike when weapon is drawn)

X, C, B, V, Esc - Cancel key, use magic.

Shift Key - Open menu.

* Numpad key - Draw weapon. (not avaliable in demo)

Features
+ Custom Battle System (ABS)
+ Regular Menu (No change in menu!)
+ No Random Encounters (Don't get killed as easily)
+ Battle Maps (player teleports there to fight the enemys)
+ Possible Swimming Feature (Swim away!)
+ Crafting Feature (Craft your own items!)
+ Combo Feature (Attack with combinations achieved by pressing the attack or magic key at different speeds or intervals)

Screenshots

The current title-screen. This is just a preview- changes have been made.

The screenshot page for the game is here.

After I submitted a tutorial, which I copied and saved on my computer for safe-keeping, it didn't seem to show up on my submission page. I copied and pasted it back on and tried again, but no luck.

I was hoping WIP would fix it.

Monolock, formerly EP:CV, has developed this more serious name, through minor workings of cutscenes and such.

Monolock comes in a trilogy of eighteen different games, that show the player to a completely different world full of action, crisis, and emotion. The game is focused on the story itself, but also on other contents, such as gameplay balance of the storyline.

Monolock I:
Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2 Release: Mid April (16-17th)
Prologue, Chapters 1-5 release: Early may
Prologue, Chapters 1-12 release: End of May

Monolock II:
Prologue, Chapter 1 Release: June, exact date TBA

Immortality
Aniru, a young 14 year old was living in his forest home when his parents were taken away from him. A gang of evil minions, called the Lersu, have taken his parents and killed them. As he began to look for his parents, he believed that they may have some information in their drawers. When he find's his parent's information, he figures out that they worked for the Dark King. After finding this, he took his father's Runed Sword and slipped past guards at the dark king's castle by midnight. While trying to kill the king, the king killed him by using a dark spell. But, Aniru did not die. On a night, two weeks after he was captured, he escaped his prison cell and defeated all of the guards with ease. One thing he wondered; 'Why didn't I die? Why am I this powerful?' The answer is pretty simple. The Dark King gave him immortality hoping that Aniru may defeat his enemies. Instead, he turned on the dark king. Once immortality is set on asingle human, it cannot be removed... as it is a good effect. After escaping the Dark King's fortress, he enter's King Naimn's territory. After talking to a few guards, and telling him his perdiciment, King Naimn took him in as his son. After taking an oath to meet the dark king face to face, Aniru begins his life-long trip to find and destroy the dark king.

Our History
Our history has only been recorded for about 3.7 centuries. As there are only three kings on the human kingdom and one king on the dark kingdom, they still live to be. The two kings before were killed by The Dark King. Scientists and Geoligists wonder about how the world came to be. We know that 4 centuries ago, the world was desolated with nobody on it, but then a mysterious force created life on the world as we know it. Controling this force may be useful in ways to destroy the dark king.

Characters
Aniru
Age: 15
Backround: Aniru is a normal kid. He was supposed to be the heir to the dark throne, but he betrayed the dark king and is now the heir of King Naimn's throne. With the power of immortality, and the ability to not age, Aniru begins his trip to find and destroy the dark king.

The Dark King
Age: ???
Backround: The Dark King has a substitute name. His name is unknown, and his age is unknown too. He is partially immortal, that he can regenerate and resist aging. But, his power may be no match to Aniru in his main form....

King Naimn
Age: 39
Backround: King Naimn is the ruler of the human kingdom and one of the most powerful men in magic. He takes Aniru in as his only hope to destroy the dark king himself. King Naimn was the third king of the human kingdom.

Blood Guard
Backround: The Blood Guards are basically half-human guards that were turned evil by the Dark King. The guards were once humans, but his overwhelming power has turned them into part elf as well. Somehow, these elfs aren't good, but evil. They only take commands from the Dark King.

Magics and Forces
Magic is one of the main things used in the game. Besides healing, damaging, or stat increasing, they are basically used to achieve goals and help the hero do things. More can be found within the GAME MANUAL. Magic was found by Ethral Senthiner, the elven sage. He doesn't live today, but his discoveries are in writing all around the world. Magic is used from the Magic section.

Note:
About the Rune system, you can equip a DMG rune. It is mainly called DEATH, but you can increase the DEATH RUNE's effects by buying or finding a Death Stimulator. When using the stimulator, Aniru's death rune adds more damage and a few other things.
