    The land of Prisma was once beautiful, filled with color and peace. Until they came:

    The Faded.

    Ferocious beasts who could draw the color from the world itself. After over a century of war, the Faded forced humanity into the outer reaches of their own world. But now several adventurous people with the ability to fold color into magic are going to take their world back from the Faded.

    Character-Lineup-shortened.jpg
    Seiryuu – Young militia sergeant of Azure village; brash, headstrong, and possibly a pyromaniac. He is loyal to his friends, but has a tendency to exacerbate situations when things get tense.

    Elise – Seiryuu's childhood friend and Leon's daughter. She's always been like a big sister to Seiryuu; which is awkward since he's the older one. Strong-willed and intellectual she lives in her father's shadow.

    Leon – The hero of Gamut. Legends speak of his valor in a way he never would. Stoic and quiet he is a masterful warrior with a history of pain and sorrow; and ass-kicking. Or so the legends say, he might just be a gruff old soldier for all the more he's willing to talk about himself.

    Arkonis – Prince of Xanthia, he is constantly butting heads with his council of regents. He desires to be a heroic leader of his people, like his mother before him. He is crafty and combative and generally gets his way; not because people acquiesce to him, but because he's adept at sneaking away from his guards.

    More to come!

    Restore Color to the World of Prisma!
    As you gather the missing pieces of the Spectrum Star, you will slowly return color to the game world.

    Color-centric Combat System

    The Gifted have the power to combine the elements of color into powerful magical attacks. From throwing a fireball to imbuing lightning into their swords or even their own hands!

    Each color represents its own element in the world of Prisma. Blue is water, Red is Fire... but it’s not what you might think. Opposites are weak to each other, so remember that Fire will burn the enemy's wind, but their wind can also put out your fire! Think of Yin and Yang, dark opposes light and vice versa..same thing, except with color!

    I'm Not Sleepy, Yet
    When you stop at an inn to rest, it’s not just a jingle and a dark screen. Your cohorts will scatter about and do their own thing. Seek them out to unlock special quests and change your relationship with them.

    Come Here Often?
    Each character is not just an aid in your quest, they have their own goals, desires, and needs. As Seiryuu, it is critical that you create bonds with your cohorts through choice and action.

    Intriguing and Humorous Story
    Uncover a mysterious conspiracy beyond the Faded scourge. Unlock the secrets of their arrival and maybe you can end their shadowy blight once and for all!
    and remember,

  3. Awesome idea! I'm keeping an eye on this one.
  4. I'm a fan. I'll be following this closely. So if there's breathing down your neck...it may be of the excited anxious kind... Nothing to be afraid of, hahaha.
  5. Oh my...I want this. It's so cool...I really love the mapping shown! :)
  6. mapping: amazing

    concept: stellar

    color: beautiful

    interest: piqued!!!
  7. A very very ambitious project with state of the art mapping and interesting concept.

    Nice going, can't wait to see the first demo soonz :) .
  8. What if I am colorblind??

    Well perhaps if you restore the Spectrum Star, it may restore color to your sights aswell.
  10. Mapping skills too stronk. It doesn't even look like Ace.
  11. I can definitely see the Pirate Rush influence in the maps, it looks great. I really like the idea of the world changing as you progress. One question, is that water animated? Will be keeping my eyes on this one.

    Yes the water will be animated, I'll be using Ak47s technique to do that.
  13. I love the idea of this game! Good luck with it :3 I like the idea of the world changing colors based on your progress (o wo) So does the game like, start unsaturated?
  14. Aye, it'll start off in black and white.  Some things might have color, like the Faded's core, your spells, but yeah it'll mostly be black and white till you start restoring the pieces of the Star.
  15. :update:

    Currently working with my artist Risa1 in making designs for the main character Seiryuu.  It's coming along well right now, we're almost done with the sketch process.

    Also she created an illustration for the title screen aswell.

    The battle system is currently being made too, trying to figure out some things with that.

    But overall, I got some nice things to show everyone within the next couple of days!  I'll post another update when more stuff is finished and let you all have a look :D
  16. This project is awe-inspiring.
  17. Sketch for the main Character Seiryuu, thoughts?

  18. Hnnnnnggggggg. So handsome. -drools-
  19. Is eyegasm a proper term? Yes, yes it is. 

    He's so adorable. :3
  20. just checking - it IS a guy, right? he's, well, pretty androgenous, but I know that's pretty common

    also, it is fairly reasonable if he's a young hero
