Fantasy Life

From the makers of Interitus. We bring to you, a new beginning - Fantasy Life

Hello all and welcome to the thread, I want to start by saying thank you for all your participation in this thread. The answers you give on the questions we ask will help us in the development of our server. So that is a big part, and we really appreciate it.

So I bet your wondering: "What is Fantasy Life all about?"

-Well let me begin by saying the overall theme of the server has not yet been completely decided. If we had to pick one particular theme, it would be fantasy. Just because there is so much stuff that is being planned to be added into game play, that it won't have a one particular theme.

Let's say this for example; There is a good chance there will be a city with modern-ish tiles. We will keep it as unique as possible, yes we know modern is pretty worn out on Graal. Very dull and boring. But the majority of the server will not be modern tiles. In fact, most tiles placed on the set will be different than any other tiles on Graal. Along with them being colorful with a higher saturation set to them. Also, maybe even some 'hovering' levels will be implemented. When I say hovering, I mean like maybe a piece of land or a road that hovers above the rest of the overworld. Mind you that this is just a maybe, as it isn't exactly sure if it's going to be made.

Or, maybe your just wondering "What will there be to do on Fantasy Life?"

- On this topic I can only give you a few answers. We are basically adding anything that seems fun to the players. Since it is fantasy, tons of things can be implemented. So yes for all your modern PK'ers their will be guns. Along with gun blades, hand weapons, magic etc . . . In order to have the hand weapons balance out with the swords so it isn't un-even to have one or the other, the gun system will have to be rather unique. We have a good plan set up on how we will do it all, and some awesome ideas for the abilities that will come in play, along with spells for magic.
- Now the purpose wont be to make money and buy all these things. In fact we don't want much things to cost a lot on the server. So basically everyone can get them. But there still will be those rares not a lot of people have though. But any 'jobs' that people do, wont be the regular tap 1-2 buttons and you get some supplies to sell to a NPC. The job system has to be different from others, and will take a long process of thinking to get it exactly how the players will want it. Another thing that will be added to the game is leveling. We hope to have many tings you can level up, but not make it so boring that you can't stand leveling. We will add certain activities or maybe even quests that involve you to use a skill, and on completion, gives you XX amount of experience in that skill. Tons of things will be added, with many types of styles. Some things will seem more like a modern, RPG, or even classic styled server. Anything that is fun and within reason to be added, will be added to the server. Now I won't say much more about the server, as you will have to find out yourself some time. So lastly there will be a combo-melee system. You will be able to grapple, toss, and strike opponent in combos. We plan to have this very well done, and make it fun to play around with.

So in conclusion, Fantasy Life will have a mixture of different 'themes' put into it, but they will all blend into one. Not so much a different world for each theme, such as AEON. It will in fact, be very different from AEON. This will be all in one world, and will have a storyline worked out for it to fit its style.

Still fuzzy on some parts? Want to see your ideas of fun implemented into the server? Then discuss it here. Any help is much appreciated.

The server will keep posted with updates and all, so stay tuned. Thanks to all who read/participated in this thread.

Keep in mind - Fantasy Life is meant to be fun to develop along with playing. The staff are just having fun with this project, and not putting such a hassle on each other to keep it perfect or anything. It's a game! Let's have some fun.

Hm. Could you name the most unique aspect of this server, Angel?

Hmm. If I had to name one thing, I would say that it will have several themes all blended into one. Not together as an all-in-one server. But more of you get to use guns along with magic and RPG styled melee weapons along with it. Plus the fact that leveling will be a great deal in the server. Leveling is what we really plan to make unique and very rewarding on if you level something to a particular level.

Well, setting doesn't make a game, so the most unique thing about Fantasy Life is the leveling. I don't mean to badger, but what makes it unique? Since Graal is an online game, I want to be able to make more than one character on your server, and not go through the same process with each character.

Also, when I saw "Fantasy Life", I immediately pictured a server centered around your character. Kind of like the Sims, where you control your character's life... but multi-player and not so self-centered. I got my hopes up.

Seems like a lot of work for something that is supposed to be fun to develop.

Now your getting your hopes down for no reason. I can't really pick what our most unique thing about the server will be, since we have a lot of new ideas coming in every day. But yes, you will be able to create more than one char, and leveling will be diff by each char you make, making it (your character) a completely different 'life'.

Just because there is a lot going into it doesn't mean it won't be fun.

Im sorry to say this but your server looks very square boxy and plain. I think your a lot better than that.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gun Blades came up in one of your blog entries to be honest; you're not exactly at the height of originality yourself. Keep on snorting dude, perhaps something might go up there that will enable you to post something that hasn't already been posted in tons of other blogs around the internet.

I would. Final Fantasy VIII was the epitome of fail. I've been saying that for years. If there's one game not to borrow ideas from, it'd be that game.

My blog posts are not specifically written to present 'original' ideas. I write them to present different methods of structuring content and engines, rather than throwing content out onto the table. I've been asked to develop content for servers since starting my blog entries, but have declined in each instance because I don't feel like working for anyone. Similarly, I don't think it's wise for me to provide information on original content since a few people have wanted to completely copy content I come up with rather than taking those ideas and modifying them. I don't care about one person copying stuff entirely, but when multiple people do that, conflicts come up about one server 'stealing' ideas from another, and I'm not going to be blamed for that. I've been thinking of putting up disclaimers for it, but I doubt it would help.

That's YOUR opinion. In my opinion, it's the second best one ever. Most of the FFVIII haters usually end up admitting that they didn't play more then 5-30 minutes, or never played more then past disc one. I'd appreciate it if you would keep your insults to yourself.
