A project in the form of an RPG Maker game.
In the years 2001/2002 I first started to use the software RPG Maker 2000, with which you can create your own role-playing games like Final Fantasy. At that time I created my Dark Sword series, which has a total of 3 main parts and 1 side part. You can read more about it on the Dark Sword Homepage (just in German, sry!)
This project is a remake of Dark Sword 2, which I have been developing since 2012 with RPG Maker 2003 and have already released two demos in german Language.
Worldbuilding of Dark Sword
Lumina, the world of Dark Sword, is modeled after a steampunk-like setting. Steam technology allowed humanity on Lumina to live a comfortable and peaceful life. Mages, academics and technicians worked hard to preserve those very times.
Until in the year 574, something happened that no one expected: a terrible dragon named Drakan appeared and began destroying cities and kingdoms.
Armies were raised to destroy this monster, but they were all driven back, and in some cases destroyed altogether.
When the penultimate kingdom also fell to Drakan's wrath in 575, hope for salvation was lost. Mikan, the last kingdom on Lumina, sent its army against Drakan one more time - the last chance to destroy the dragon.
Mikan actually returned home victorious! Drakan was destroyed by the last force.
After the death of the beast, numerous investigations were made. Who was Drakan? Why had he attacked humanity? These questions needed answers, and some were found: Drakan seemed to have been summoned by magicians. The magicians could not answer anything, since they had no proof of their innocence. The kingdom of Mikan hereby declared them the culprits and many were executed. Fearing for their lives, the magicians fled - today they are only a forgotten page in a history book.
Mikan was the last kingdom to take over the world and thus declared itself an empire. A new era was established after this memorable event.
After 25 years, humanity is once again being tested...
