Need opinions on story/plot/title for fire emblem
So this fan-made fire emblem project is in its infancy. I'm simply creating the storyline while the team develops the skills needed to turn the story into a game, but I would like opinions on my work so far since this would be my first written piece ever that isn't a college essay. So here it is.
"Fire Emblem - Lost Age"
The Land of Yliare (ee-lee-AIR), a young continent, was in a time of expansive growth. Towns became cities, cities became empires. In no time at all, the entirety of Yliare was laid claim by the 7 great leaders of the age:
Drovor the Steel King,
Alyana (the Truthseeker) and her seers court,
Hilmval the Horsemaster,
the crafty Proestus (the Great Thief King),
Solvenya the Sage Queen,
Erman and the high priests of the north,
and Hawkeye Salha (The Untouchable)
Their kingdoms grew quickly, goods were plentiful, prosperity reigned, and the land of Yliare was bathed in the light of a bright future. But where there is light, darkness grows.
A great evil, unbeknownst to all, spread over the land of Yliare. Infecting the minds of its people, it drove the kingdoms into chaos. Even the great leaders weren't a match for something so powerful. Yliare fell into war...
The kingdoms crumbled...
Out of the darkness a lone figure appeared before the great leaders, ready to face the evil at hand. With a shining spear and shield like a mountain, the hero struck the ground, engulfing the darkness and its followers in light and flame, sealing them within the mystical weapons. As the fog of battle cleared, the hero was nowhere to be found. Only the legendary spear and shield remained.
The hero's weapons were split into pieces in order to prevent the darkness from ever escaping its prison. The pieces were then given to the kingdoms for their safe keeping, ushering in an age of peace.
That's all for the introduction. =) Now for the rest of the plot which is still rough, so it shall be told rough. The darkness = greed.
The great leaders' names mentioned above are the names of the kingdoms themselves. BUT there are only 6 kingdoms in the present time. You follow a young boy who's dad is a commander of the Queen's guard in I don't know which kingdom. The boy begins training under his dad, and the next day (early morning, the kingdom is attacked by its neighbor kingdom. The queen orders the prince, princess, main character, sister, dad, and the dad's company to travel to the neighbor kingdom to say "hey WTF" and discuss politics. Neighbor says "I didn't do it, and besides, your soldiers have been attacking me". So turns out people are flying the banners of certain kingdoms and attacking without the authority of the governing body. They return to find their capital destroyed. From here on out, the company travels the land and stuff happens until you reach the very end. Along the way the things that are learned are: the intro story is actually a true story and not makebelieve, the weapon pieces are real, the people attacking are actually phantoms from the kingdoms of the "lost age" who were corrupted by darkness, and the kingdom that no longer exists in the current time is Solvenya. At the end, you find out that during the journey, the prince of your kingdom has been collecting the pieces of the weapons and reassembling them because "i wanna be a hero" (greedy). Once assembly is almost complete, Solvenya's kingdom is revealed and she turns out to be the hero of old. She sees the prince's greed and kills him, but also vows to destroy the world along with all the darkness, kind of like a corrupted hero that needs to be stopped. Needless to say she is the final boss. She is beaten, happy ending, party.
That's it...hope you enjoyed reading this WIP. ^_^

BOOM!!! Here come the cats...
We are FatCatEmpire, a collaboration of me and my brother.
We've had an interest in creating our own game for such a long time, but skool came furst. Now that we have finished learning what we are going to do for the rest of our lives, we have time to learn about creating a game. I've started learning to sprite, code, and storyboard, and my brother has started on getting a tan. He is such a big help.
Our grand idea is to create a fan-made fire emblem game. Everyone loves SRPGs, and just the mysterious nature of every fire emblem story made us want to write our own. We've started on the storyboard, and I can safely say we have an opening sequence and the training map dialogue all set. But that is it, no sprites, no starting code, no maps, just a simple beginning story, plot outline, and some random names. We'd be happy to share, but there may be another place we should post it(?)
Also we don't have any software yet...we plan on getting RPGMaker VX Ace eventually.
Last but not least, hello everyone! We hope to learn and help wherever we can. Maybe make some small games as a learning curve until we can tackle a full fire emblem game.
