**Short Description: **>! A victorian era game… with a twist! A beautiful mixture between the victorian era, and medival times.

**Story-line:**

>! Once upon a time… When Queen Victoria's reign began... A loyal subject stumbled onto a strange object with Queen Victoria's coat of arms on it. This loyal subject took it to Queen Victoria. As soon as she touched it, a green light came out of it and shone into her forehead. And then, nothing. The object disappeared, and was forgotten. The loyal subject forgot why they came, and hastily left. When they went outside, though, there were monsters all over london. And then the loyal subject saw a scroll on the ground. The loyal subject picked it up, read it, and suddenly realized they could set people on fire with their mind! What will happen in this transformed world?

**Features I hope to include:**

>! * Pets
* Fire-Making
* .MP3 support
* Quests
* Smithing

**Current Team**

>! * Wanda Smith (Runeblade) - Developer, Writer, Musician, Mapper, and working on Concept Art
>! [\list]

**Maps**

>! TIP: The maps are attachments. Not all maps are posted.

Unfortunately, right now, all I can offer is credit in the game. But I will try to change that. :) If you would like to join the team, you can e-mail me at [email protected] or PM me. Thanks!  :cheesy:****

Seems decent.. Here's a few pointers though:

-Improve the story, really.
-Add something other then plain generic features, give people a reason to join!
-Please don't ask for specific amounts of people..

I've approved it so you can change it a little bit.. Or perhaps a more experienced moderator will put a stamp on it saying it's alright, or removes it.. Just figured I'd give you the chance. :)

> -Add something other then plain generic features, give people a reason to join! That's (one) reason I added FM. I'm going to be adding more ideas later… And it's for people who are fans of the victorian era; that's why I'm making it. :)
> -Please don't ask for specific amounts of people.. That's just how many positions I am requesting…I guess I should have mentioned that in my post, I'll add that now :)

Another tip is, maybe provide what you want the recruited members to accomplish as a member of your team based on their position, so you don't get a lot of incompetent responses.

You added your text in the quote….thats a fail xD

The game seems okay but you should really improve your mapping, most of the maps seem really blank and boring.

[Jeff]

maps are bad.  read mapping tutorials.  make them look more interesting.  However, i like the bit at the end of the storyline where they learn to set people on fire with their minds.

OFF TOPIC: Sadly, compared to the amount of WIP games and such our "average" = poor

I do agree with kris. I personally judge books by their covers everyday. If the mapping is bad I do not even take the time to read the story and such. The mapping needs work. As in, add detail, small scrubs/bushes keep using multiple layers like in your first sceen shot to keep everything interesting. Use different grass tiles and make them work together like dirt/grass etc. Also the tiles you are using for paths in screenshots 2 and 4, those are not paths. Use a dirt path or similar.

First map is alright, the rest seem really blocky though. Instead of just adding lines of stuff trying making the roads curve a bit or add a fringe layer of grass around it.

[Prince]

maybe you need more tiles to get your map better

@Jeff:

> maps are bad.  read mapping tutorials. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.  make them look more interesting.  However, i like the bit at the end of the storyline where they learn to set people on fire with their minds. I stole that from the skill that came with EO. :P

@jcsnider:

> OFF TOPIC: Sadly, compared to the amount of WIP games and such our "average" = poor Thanks for telling me, now I can improve it. :)

Okay, first of all, I know. I wanted them to look poor. And second, there is no map four. But the fourth one SHOWN needs to be updated. I already fixed it. It isn't supposed to look poor, and has had a giant update.

@Prince:

> maybe you need more tiles to get your map better I have gotten quite a few tiles since this was last updated, that probably will help. :)
