[SERIES][PROGRESS][HYPE]ERIOL VON CLOWPHENGIRE'S NETGAME CRISIS SAGA

SERIES INFORMATION:
NetGame Crisis Saga, or NGCS for short is a tactical role-playing game made by yours truly, Hatsuya Kanzaki (Eriol Clowphengire from now on). The game takes place in an online game called "File of Mankind Online", a fictional & anticipated sci-fi fantasy online roleplaying game. What made the fictional MMO special is that the character customization they've catered, where your picture can be used as a basis to generate your character. Plus, the game world catered lots of character classes to use.

Until a strange feature was added, you die also in the real world if you've encountered the "Platinum Smile Phenomenon".


GAME INFORMATION:
File of Mankind Online was launched by Vexel Entertainment for a worldwide closed beta test, where only 200 selected players from each country can play, and one of them is Chiharu Yamanaka. Chiharu, a die-hard MMO player and at the same time, an avid cosplayer, chose to play the game because of her interest in sci-fi genre.

One week after its CBT launch, mysterious player deaths occur worldwide. Chiharu and her other friends online should either solve it or exploit it? Who knows...



^ Plus, here are the sprite previews for the entire series.

YOU DIE IN THE GAME
YOU DIE FOR REAL
But seriously, tactical you say? I'll probably try this thanks to my incredible love of SRPGs.
Love those charsets by the way. Are they custom?

Yup, and to be honest, some of their heads came from different RM2K3 charsets, if you've noticed my resized remake of Roco's goggle guy or even an NPC from Abstract Paroxysm.

I'm also like reusing what's from RM2K3 and bring 'em to RMXP or RMVX.

I can't make screenies yet, 'cause I'm more geared on my game's scripts & sprites. Maybe I can post some character profiles though.

more of like .hack + Kamen Rider the NEXT + Final Destination

People won't just die in coma, if a certain boss got you owned by fire, chances are... you'll be cooked dead in your house or your Internet cafe will explode. Well if you died while being stunned, well... expect something from the real world to hit you down.

A worse combination could be... you are listening to Platinum Smile (the song that killed people in Masked Rider the Next) and suddenly your game went BSoD. I wonder how would people die with this combination? Coma?

This is bloodier, more emo than .Hack.

The Platinum Smile is pretty creepy, the name of the main character is exactly the same except for the last name anyway. So does this mean it takes during the Kamen Rider universe or are you doing an homage to it?

More of a homage, NoblemanNick. Chiharu here is just a spunky Japanese high-school girl kinda like Chie of Persona 4, not a singer. Though she's a fan of Riyu Kosaka's songs, including the Platinum Smile.
