Story:

You and your young friends were once living peacfully.
The times have changed.
Every time you make a choice in life, there is a split of time. You specifically follow the split of the choice you made. But there are other "you's" who make the OTHER choices and live in a different world. Sometimes a mistake happens and you get stuck in the wrong choice. Unfortunatly, this happened to you and your friends. You are now trapped in a dimension where most of the world is enhabited by evil monsters. You must overcome this challenge, and fight the monsters until there are none left, and you are the most powerful on earth. Only then, will you be able to return to normal life.​

Quests:
Sticky Spiders
Citizen Bob: Hello there adventurer. I've heard many stories about you and your friends...I hear you will save this world from destruction. I hope you can. I have a small and simple task for you. Kill 10 spiders in the forest north-east of here, and return to me when the task is complete.

Spider Head Soup
Citizen Timmy: Hello. I hear you had some trouble on the journy into this world! Well, I can see you are far stronger than me. Would you mind gathering a spider head for my soup tonight? I would even reward you, seeing as your journy here was difficult.

Tartula
Citizen Bobo: I was hoping for you to eliminate the foul tartula in the forest just north-east from us. He has been terrorizing the citizens here for a long time. I'm not really sure why we call him the tartula, but that is the name he has developed over the years. Maybe now we will finally be rid of that name!

Spider Legs
Citizen Gary: I'm a very arachnophobic person. I dispise spiders, but these days, theres not much else to eat. Bring me a spiders leg, and you will be rewarded.

Spider Legs
Citizen Bob: You've already cleansed this world of ten wretched spiders, but them centaurs are gettin' closer and closer to us as the days pass. Return to me when you have slain ten of them!

well, the terrain looks pretty nice but you got some other features? Cool custom spells? A unique inventary system or something?
In last screeny you should use the high brush and in second you should put some more trees or you can jsut look through trees onto sky. unrealistic

edit:
Why all RPGs begin with a bandit camp?

 

[Knights]

Updated first post.

>but you got some other features?
Yes, but they will only be disclosed when they are finished.

>you should use the high brush

Thanks,

[Knights]

Added Stonepebble City and Swampland.

 

[Blackveiled]

Seems like it would be okay, but some stuff is just really bland.

 

[Knights]

If you're talking about terrain, wait till you get ingame, it's really nice.

The game is going to mostly be focused on the features anyways, but I will not post them until they are completed or nearly finished.

Thanks,
Knights

 

[Knights]

Added all item drops, working on professions and quests.

The story seems like an interesting concept to base a game off. I would definately play test this map just to see how you are going to implement the concept into actual gamplay. Exciting stuff. One thing about your thread tho, the screenshots are nice and of high quality, but man, when I look at them they just seem that bit "too big". maybe u should resize them a little so I don't blow a retina next time I check out your thread lol.

Screenshots resized.

The story-line is only unique, the gameplay isn't much different to other ORPGs mind the different features, but they have nothing to do with the story. The only thing thats involving the story is like, the quests, and what some poeople say, and certain people you meet to help you get 'out' of that dimension.

Knights

 

[Mr.Tutorial]

Yes, maybe a list of new or nice features you have built into the map.

 

[Knights]

The features list is going to be added as the features are added. That way it keeps things clean. I hate releasing things that are 'planned' but never actually doing them, or finding them impossible/rigged/unbalanced/whatever else that would make it not work...

Thanks,
Knights

 

[hell_knight]

Another game Knights, I can help you test stuff for you again like Mystica RPG still got like 20 versions of that game in my list. My new Bnet name = Linkinpark_Ftw

Looks good atm =)

You think the map gonna be big enough for all that? Cause fitting in mazes,tds arenas and survivals takes like a huge chunk.

 

[Knights]

It will be big enough. =) Since max level is 25, most of the map will be taken up by zones, but you only need 10-15 zones to get somone to level 25. The rest can be for PvP, minigames, dungeons, etc.

One thing I have to say is that I think this has potential but I don't think this is impressive. All the features you showed me I have seen before. The terrain is bland and is extremely flat for an outdoor area. Though those are my only complaints and if you are able to add things that weren't seen in many other ORPGs it might actually be very good. Heck I'll try to give you a class.

Necromancer:
Level 1- Raise Zombie.
Level 2- Decay Flesh. (Poison.)
Level 3- Raise Skeleton
Level 4- Cripple (Slows down attack and movement speed.)
Level 5- Raise Ghoul
Level 6- Spirit Explosion (An AOE attack that bursts from the the user causing damage around it.)
Level 7- Raise Abomination

 

[Knights]

>The terrain is bland and is extremely flat for an outdoor area
Yep, ATM it's all square and flat. Once it's all terrained is when I begin the actual "realism" of the terrain, it's just that I'm a logical person and I love it when theres a 'section' of the map for each zone.

> All the features you showed me I have seen before.
Keyword: you showed me

I'll use the necro class but not nessicarily with so many summons.

Thanks,
Knights
