What I am currently making
Well, I've only dropped a few hints about what I am currently making here and in #lovehina, but I discuss it A LOT on other forums related to game making.. So I figure that I will post some info on this, which is the first game I have started making since 2002 with a lot of motivation, and I am really excited about progressing with this one.
The name of the game is Einmyria and is a post apocalyptic RPG. This is the basic premise: A terrible war breaks out. Mass extinction worldwide. 1000 labourers and children are sent underground into a network of bunkers. They colonize it and eventually build onto it. The surface has become a horrific wasteland where rogue pirates roam the land killing and stealing from those who still try to live a normal life in the ruined world while the underground civilization now known as Borghild is prosperous. The rogue pirates are the descendents of those who initiated the war. They are cruel and reckless. These pirates prevent the surface world from getting back on track. The game will take place 250 years after the colonization. Elina, the main character, is a teenage girl who is studying to be a historian because she is curious of the surface world. She lives in the colony called August. Most colonies have adopted the names of things they lost when they made the transition from surface world to underworld. There are no seasons in the colonies and months have been eliminated. August is a reminder of nature and the sun. One day when Elina is coming home from being tutored, August's power plant fails. She decides to leave the colony at this moment so that nobody will try to stand in her way. She wishes to see the surface world with her own eyes no matter the consequences. Character Info   Left pic: Five different types of Imperial Soldiers that Elina will come across throughout the game. Depending on whats going on in the underworld will determine whether they are friendly or hostile.. Different colours will indicate different ranks. Right pic: Elina and Cliff. Elina is from the colony August. She is generally a kind, compassionate girl who avoids violence. She doesn't have a lot of muscle on her either. Elina makes up for her strength and ability to defend herself by having lots of motivation and determination. She is willing to go the extra mile to acheive her goal, even when others when normally give up. Elina's strongest point is her incredibly strong spirit. If she sees something she wants, she will reach for it with all her heart. Strong, well built man. Cliff recently left home to be a security officer on the highway linking the colonies August and Dawn. He looks out for those in need on the highway and helps anyone in need. He is a big man with a big heart but the cuddly bear can turn into a vicious one at the drop of a pin. All it takes is trouble. Cliff lives off of the August/Dawn highway in a small house by himself. When he is not watching the highway for thugs and people involved in illegal activities, he is at home looking at pictures of his life and writing to his family who live in an outskirt colony named Eclipse. Other characters... Burke: Burke is one of the few who have been to the surface world since it was sealed off. Nobody knows how the select few who have done it were able to.. Those who have reached the surface and returned are known as Striders. Burke is regarded highly as one who can leave and come back any time. His name, Burke Grayson, is known to many.. But they do not have a face to match the name with. Exactly who is Burke Grayson? .. Nobody knows for sure.. Only fellow Striders can be certain. Cutler: Believed to be the man at the top of the pirates. He is said to have complete control over all the dealings and involvements of every pirate sect. Little is known about him to citizens of the surface world, and his name isn't even known at all in the underworld. Cutler is an enigma with a very powerful ego. Hakim: A member of the Scarlet Ravens, a group of rogue pirates that work around the clock to provide more powerful arms for other pirate groups. Hakim is not a senior member of the group but is among those in the group who build and distribute weapons. He does not approve of what the weapons are used for, Hakim resents killing, but he is very greedy and enjoys the profit. The only reason Hakim is with the Scarlet Ravens is to wait until the group makes a lot of money and then flee with it. Where he would go with it, even he does not know. President Vourman: President Alexander Vourman is the leader of the underworld. A very busy man. There is little to him at all other than his status (president). Rachel: A real bitch. Rachel lives on the surface constantly on the run from rogue pirates. She possesses unnatural physical beauty and despite how torn the world is, she manages to perserve it. Since she has been running from pirates almost her entire life, Rachel has become a hardened warrior who won't put up with anything. Her dream is to put down her sword and have a peaceful life. She fantasizes about making it into the underground colony which was completely sealed off from the surface 250 years ago. Rayem: A man who takes a great liking to Elina after she departs from her home colony. Elina isn't immediately aware of Rayem's presence but shortly after she notices him around all the areas she visits, she starts to become nervous. Rayem was once a scientist until his laboratory was shut down. Ever since he has been nomadic. Surt: Said to be the keeper of the first colony (Niflheim). The Niflheim was deserted 175 years ago when there was a massive tectonic quake that permanently disabled the power plant which leaked dangerous radiation. Surt is the only known inhabitant of Niflheim Colony now. He wears dark gothic armor and wields a giant sword that glows a brilliant, bright red. Some say that Surt remains in Niflheim to chase away those foolish enough to even enter the radioactive colony. Others say that he just wants to live alone, away from the burdens of society. Vidar: Vidar is a powerful senator of the surface world. He is corrupt and crooked. The Senate has voted to expel him, but Vidar's influence is too great. He also collaborates with the pirates. Vidar is one of the few remaining humans who can use magical powers. Vidar specializes in telekinesis which he uses to silence those who oppose him. He also wishes to see the underworld with his own eyes some day. His reasoning behind this is that they do not deserve to be cut off from the surface, living in prosperity. Vidar wants to bring chaos to those who live freely below. Vince: Quiet and enigmatic. Vince tends to keep to himself and only talks when he feels that he has something useful to contribute. He is a freedom fighter who fights for his colony, Winter. Authorities are threatening to defrost the colony but citizens are against this idea, they like having a cold, snowy colony. Vince is the leader of the freedom fighters. Thanks to him, the people of Winter have not abandoned their cause. His inspiration has persuaded them to fight for what they love and believe in, even if there are dire consequences. Zeros: A dangerous lone warrior. He is one of the few who still dress it traditional garbs. Aside from Surt, nobody else is known to wear nothing but.. Unlike Surt who wears heavy, gothic armor, Zeros wears the lighter and more comfortable chain mail. He wears white pants, dark boots, and a scarlet cape. Zeros is completely nomadic and is always on the move. The only thing people know about him is that he has an unnamed sworn enemy who will go to great lengths to destroy Zeros. And here is the Norse golssary. All Norse references in the game are right here: Borghild: She is the personification of the evening mist, or perhaps the moon, who kills the light of day. She is the wife of Sigmund. Her myth became part of the dynastic struggles of the Germanic classic, the Volsung Saga. Einmyria: The daughter of Loki and Glut (Loki's first wife). Her sister is Eisa. Her name means 'Ashes'. Gungnir: Odhinn's spear which neber misses it's target. Heimdell: He is the watchman of the gods and guards Bifrost, the only entrance to Asgard, the realm of the gods. It is Heimdall's duty to prevent the giants from forcing their way into Asgard. He requires less sleep than a bird and can see a hundred miles around him, by night as well as by day. His hearing is so accurate that no sound escapes him: he can even hear the grass grow or the wool on a sheep's back. At the final conflict of Ragnarok he will kill his age-old enemy, the evil god Loki, but will die himself from his wounds. Niflheim: Niflheim ("house of mists") is the far northern region of icy fogs and mists, darkness and cold. It is situated on the lowest level of the universe. The realm of death, Helheim is part of the vast, cold region. Niflheim lies underneath the third root of Yggdrasil, close to the spring Hvergelmir ("roaring cauldron"). Also situated on this level is Nastrond, the Shore of Corpses, where the serpent Nidhogg eats corpses and gnaws on the roots of Yggdrasil. Surt: Surt is a Fire Giant who lives with the People of Muspel in Muspelheim, the realm of fire to the south. There he stands ever alert, brandishing his great, fiery sword which shines brighter than the sun. In Ragnarok, he is the one who sets the world on fire and burns it down. Vidar: In Norse myth, Vidar is the son of Odin and the giantess Grid (Gridr). He is the god of silence and revenge, the second strongest of the gods. At the destruction of the world, Odin will be killed by the wolf Fenrir, and Vidar will avenge his father by killing the wolf with his bare hands. He will press one foot on Fenrir's bottom jaw, and will take hold of his other jaw and tear the wolf apart. He is one of the gods that will rule the new world when it is created. His hall in Asgard is Vidi. What does it look like?  This is the most recent screen, showing off two different looks for Elina. The brunette Elina is going to be her standard appearance. The colony is missing some graphics.  I used a different program in this screen and is about a month and a half old. All graphics were present, but the program I used could accommodate more tiles, but it didn't run well on my computer. There were too many stability problems, so I am using older software that I can acheive just as good results with a little more time and effort. 99% of the graphics are not ripped from commercial games, meaning they are public domain or custom work by me. These are types of facilities in colonies (towns): Academy - upgrades armor, sells accessories, able to train here (to raise HP, strength, defence). Arms Specialist - upgrades weapons for a fee, additional materials may be required as well. Bar - typical bar, able to get information, rumours, and tips here. No drinks though.. Elina isn't old enough. General Store - sells curative items. House - where people live, many houses willbe locked. House of Spades - play War, Blackjack and maybe another card game. Hotel - offers a room to rest in as well as a fitness circuit where you will be able to raise agility. Pawn Shop - general shop that sells items, mainly non-curative Power Plant - dangerous areas, must wear radiation suit to maintain the plant. Must have an armed guard as well due to possible monster attack. Restaurant - able to order food here to take along on your journey. Stats info: Hit Points 1. Train at an academy. 2. Fight monsters. Magic Points 1. Complete magic training courses. 2. Fight monsters. Strength 1. Train at an academy. 2. Fight monsters. Defence 1. Train at an academy. 2. Fight monsters. Spirit 1. Talk to people. 2. Fight monsters. Agility 1. Use the fitness center at hotels. 2. Fight monsters. Fighting monsters will be the method that takes longer, but it is free. To use services to raise stats you will have to pay a feee but your stats will go up faster. You will also be able to equip items to raise stats, of course. In the equip menu ther will be Weapon, Wrists, Body, Accessory, and Fusion. The first three are general stat boosting items while Accessory will give the characters bonuses and immunities while Fusion will fuse a character to a spirit and gain skills, stat bonuses, and more. There is probably a lot more info I am forgetting, but whatever. I think what I just put here is more than enough.

I hope you are joking.
 Why should I scrap an original idea and turn it into something LH related when such a stupid, light hearted anime wouldn't even fit with it? I mean... Post apocalyptic world.. Violent pirates... References to Norse Mythology... Thats not LH compatible, but then again neither am I anymore.
