yes, we are using your title screen. Definitely something to write home to about, eh scarerow?

i have a question: how will we be getting this game? will it be in rom form, or will you be putting it on blank carctiges and mailing them to people who pay you?

It will be an executable file and will be a free download... Unless Kilik tells otherwise.

Note: It has come to my attention that I will be unable to put this up tomorrow, the 17th of April. Rather than make you all wait, I have decided to put it up early. Lucky you....

Welcome to the land of Nanakom. The continent is filled with wonder, as people of all kinds wander these lands. For as long as anyone can remember, the nations have always had a bond between them that kept the peace. However, that peace is soon to be all but forgotten. Tensions have been rising between the nations, and violence is about to erupt. Admist all the chaos is young Prince Shadow, heir to the throne of Alkasha. Unfortunately, he is the farthest thing from true royalty. He is rude, cunning, barbaric, and generally the last person anyone would want in a ruling position. However, events are being set in motion that are going thrust him headfirst into a between the lands of Nanakom, where good and evil are not defined clearly as black and white, but instead many shades of grey. The times of war have begun, and Shadow is to survive the battles that are to come, he must make use of every tool and ally at his disposal. Before the war is over, Shadow's life, the life of everyone on Nanakom, and even Nanakom itself, will be changed forever.

This is the beginning to one of the most epic fan-made projects ever. Welcome to the new journey of...


In this journey, you will be playing be playing with a rather large and dynamic cast of characters, this being greater than any previous Fire Emblem game. Now, let us meet a few of them.

First off is your main lord. He is the prince of the kingdom of Alkasha, who nicknamed himself Shadow at an early age. Ever since his early childhood, he has held a great distaste for his birth name, and compiled with the peoples contempt for him, as well as his own personality, his choice of an alias is seen as rather appropriate.



The next character to be introduced is Regal, a general of Alkasha's army, and the finest and most well known knight of them all. Nowadays, his duties revolve around training new recruits, and acting as Shadow's personal bodyguard. Regal will often stand as the voice of reason when dealing with Shadow. That is, of course, until you unite with your other lordling allies.


Finally, there is the mysterious lanceman who seems to follow your group later into the game. Nothing is known about his origins, and the only real information is his battle prowess. Not only is he deadly with his blood red spear, but he also devastates his enemies with terrible dark magic. Who is this unknown warrior who fights with both weapons and wizardry? Only time will tell...





Well, that's it for this month. Stay tuned for all the latest info on one of the greatest things you'll ever play on the computer. And best of all, it's free!

Oh, and did I mention how many lords there are? Oops, sorry, that's all the time I have. Maybe some other time....

Kilik... Its a 2d game. Good for systems like Gee Bee Ay. For those with 'com-pyoo-tarr' play games in '3d'. Sorry to be so harsh, but if you really want to be a game designer, your going to have to be designing in current forms. Why don't you mod UT2004? The engine is easy to develop with, and it'll teach you texturing, modelling, scripting and the like thats in use today. UT2007 is going to be out soon (if it isn't already) and that is definitely something that would be keeping with the present.

I understand your point, believe me. But here are some counter-points to consider.


1. Depending on how good the game is, that will also determine popularity. If this is a small game, it will be ignored. But, if I get some serious numbers of people downloading and playing this game, then game companies will definitely notice. Now, I need permission to use copyrighted stuff from whatever compan made it. Now, I may be able to get permission for this, and I may also get permission for the UT graphics. But there's no way I'm getting permission form both companies to use their stuff in the same game. Just not gonna happen.....

2. I have absolutely zero skill with 3D graphics. Do reach a level where I am at least competent with them would take months, possible years. and I mean just straight practice for graphics, ignoring all the other parts of the game that need production.

3. There is a big difference between the graphic level of Fire Emblem and Unreal Tournament. The exact same fan-game using both kinds of sprites, which one is going to take more space up? The one using UT graphics. Which one is going to require higher system specs? The UT one. Which means that it's open to a smaller audience....

4. You would not just jump right into the gaming industry. you wuold need to go to a school on game design first. A school where they would teach me the skills you speak of.

Say, how do you all feel about non-royalty lords? Pros? cons?

Back off, unwashed heathen. Don't dirty this thread again.

Heh. Just for fun.

Umm, yeah... that's actually me. I posted as a guest to avoid double posting. Oh well,I suppose I'll just stick to Kilik unlogged from now on...

Pros:Not all those princes and that. Cons:None.

Well, the term 'Lord' implies someone in a position of power. Even Ike's class wasn't 'Lord' until Elincia gave him lordship.

Oh, so you like idea?

Not that I wasn't gonna do it anyway...

Man, when is the 17th? Like tomorrow? Crap.. Not gonna meet THAT deadline. Sorry guys, but finas are coming and everything, so...


I'll make sure I get it up ASAP, though. Ok?

oh yes. im looking forward to it.

This idea sounds very cool. Looking forward to it as well.
