About Veridian:

Story:
Creation story:

Extracted from 'The Siblings of Chaos' written by Halfar.

Back when the world was dominated by chaos, when no balance existed, two entities came unto power...

Valenessa, a humble and cheerful being that found happiness in others joy.

There was also Dagan. Dagan was the noble and pround brother of Valenessa, and together, they sought to put an end to the endless madness of the world.

Dagan proposed to his sister that they create two great kingdoms and guide their people as they saw fit. It would put an end to evil and lead the people to order, Dagan had said.

Seeing no wrong in her brother's proposal, Valenessa asccepted. The kingdoms were established, borders put down, and laws created.

Many years passed, and Valenessa, missing her dear brother, crossed the border to pay him a visit. In her travels, however, she saw that Dagan and his people had become unclean, rueful, and selfish. Monuments and statues devoted to Dagan had planted a sickness in his mind. He was a god, he had said.

Valenessa, knowing that this was not true, (because while the siblings had great power, they were not gods) confronted Dagan.

The battle that soon followed was catostrophic. The peoples of the land fought and killed. Monsters born of the ash and waste from weilders of magic and strange sciences attacked helpless women and children. Dagan and Valenessa nearly killed each other.

To avoid further destruction of the land and people, Dagan and Valenessa agreed to carry the fight into the Underworld. There they waged a war so terrible that the surface of the earth shook with violent quakes.

On and on they fought, and further down the battle carried them. It was not long before they found a stone unlike anything they have ever seen before.

Valenessa called for a cease in the fight to observe this strange object. When Dagan agreed, they inched their way closer and closer to the glowing stone.

Suddenly the glowing intensified, and two beams that resembled lightning shot out from the core and struck the two siblings.

When they awoke, they felt different. Surges of great power pulsed through the brother and sister like the life blood that flows through veins.

It was not long before Dagan screamed. Dagan had solved what Valenessa would have if given more time. They had been both blessed and cursed. They were indeed gods amoung men now, but they were forever seperated. For the noble loyal Dagan had been proclaimed God of the Dead, and his sister The Goddess of Light.

So horrible was their seperation that Dagan once again struck out at the Valenessa, his new-found power easily disabling the un-prepared goddess. While Valenessa waited for death at the hand of her own brother, Dagan said this;

'I will forever rule the dead and the evil, just as you will always rule the living and the good. It is natural then, dear sister, that we seperate forever. May the kingdoms we have created perish. New kingdoms will be born of course, but never will they obtain the glory of the First Kingdoms. I bid thee farewell Sister... I'm sorry.'

With tears in his eyes the mighty Dagan released his sister and fled into the deepest corner of darkness. He raised creatures of evil and horrors as he went.

Valenessa, also weeping, returned to the surface, and once again began to constuct a life for the peoples of the world.

Ideas Behind Veridian:
The Ideas behind Veridian were to basically bring back that old school gaming with a few twists. One of those twists being actually having voiced characters, Now yes it will definitely add alot of .wav files but to me in the long run it will be worth it.

The second twist being you have the choice to make your character basically anything you want him/her to be, This meaning besides your profession(Blacksmith,Fletcher(Coming soon),Alchemist,Cook,etc.) you can basically make your own class.(Meaning you can be a sword mage, or a Ranger who also uses swords and magic. Anything your imagination can come up with pretty much.)

The third and most obvious twist is being able to play with others. Now days most games have online capabilities which (to me) does make game more fun when you get to play and share experiences with your friends.(For example you and your buddy are going through a large cave killing skeletons for some quest or slaying a great dragon who is terrorizing a nearby village.

I want to keep the old school game's awesome story telling,adventure feel because back in the day gamer wasn't so obsessed with how great the graphics were, it was all about the game play and the adventures.


What I am looking for:
Veridian is a Indie 2D ORPG. I am trying to make this game look and feel as amazing as I possible can to draw the players in to a huge ever changing world full of story and adventure. I am looking for people who will share the love of Veridian and not only be able to map but to have his/her own ideas and not be afraid to share them if they would make the game more fun and exciting. I am also looking for people who can be some-what dedicated as in just work on it whenever you possible can.

What do I offer to the team?
Don't worry I don't just sit on a throne and boss everyone around I'll be right there getting my hands dirty as well. I generally love mapping but I will also be doing just about everything else as well.

Cool stuff about being part of DxxEntertainment:
Once we get an actual team it'll be alot of fun. We will have weekly meetings were we just talk about what the plan is for the next week and it will also be a good time for everyone to share ideas and make suggestions. We will have team merchandise so if you can show off your pride. If things go well I may buy everyone a t-shirt. Also we will have tournaments on other games occasionally. Another bonus is I am the founder but everyone that puts good work into Veridian will be an owner and any money made will be shared evenly.

Graphics we will be using:



There is a large resource of graphics characters/monsters/tiles you name it and it's probably there. Also i'm in the process of getting a custom GUI done buy a really good artist. The style i'm going for something like this but it is a really basic map. Most outdoor maps will be 30X30.

Questions and concerns please PM me!

To apply please fill out this small resume:(PM it to me or if you really want you can post it here)

How much experience do you have mapping?

Examples of work:

Any other stuff I should know about you:(Can leave blank )


Thanks you all for your time and I hope to hear from some of you soon!

PS:
Sorry for any grammar errors as I generally make alot of them.
