Chapter 1: 7%-10%
Summary:
The story revolves around a male hero (who the player names)who is a Hunter. A Hunter is a person who takes on hunts, which can range from delivering a package to killing a horde of monsters. The hero takes up a hunt to find out the cause for an increase in monsters in the Alurian Woods. Upon investigating, he finds that the monsters are coming from a cave that has appeared in the middle of the woods.
The hero explores the cave and finds a crystal at the end. A voice calls out to him and lures him into touching the crystal. Upon touching the crystal, a force brings him into an unknown world. After exploring this place, he soon finds a doppelganger of himself, which is revealed to be the demon locked up by four heroes nearly 500 years ago. I know, not cliched at all. *Sarcasm +1*
The demon gives the hero two choices: to give up and let the demon control him while keeping his soul or to be be killed (soul and all). At this point, the story becomes divided into multiple plots.
You can chose to let the demon take control of you, which will follow towards the demon plot. In this plot, the demon is reunited with some of his fellow demons who had plans on taking over the world 500 years ago: till the heroes of past interfered. In this, you can chose to rule over the human race, kill off the entire human race and bring forth an age of demons, go against your demon heritage and try to save the world from your fellow demons, and possibly other choices.
Or you can chose to keep your morality. This will lead to a fight which you are suppose to lose; however, if you go overboard and level up, you can beat the demon (planned choice). If you take the normal route and lose, you will get out of this demon world but the demon will be a part of you: voicing his opinions on situations, you will have the ability to take on a demon form if your evil alignment is enough, you will be stronger than just being human, and your eyes will glow red when your evil alignment is enough. You will learn when you are about to cleanse yourself of the demon, that several demons have come seeking the demon that now resides in you. You must make the choice to keep him and use his strength or to cleanse him from yourself and defeat them as a human.
If you do defeat the demon in the demon world, you won't have to worry about going off to cleanse the demon. Different events will unfold and you will find out about the demons arrival in a different way, location, and time. Other plot points may be added in the future, but this is where it's at right now and I don't want to spoil too much... which I feel I have some already.
There are probably more I need to put in here, but I'm not quite sure how to word it or it might reveal too much.
Planned Features:
-Morality System: Depending on your actions throughout the story will determine how people, the town, story points, and other events (some listed below) will react and change. Destroying that horde of monsters that was about to destroy a town will obtain praise from people; on the other hand, disobeying laws, killing a child, or burning a town down won't get you the same response.
-Personality will change depending on your affiliation. If you are evil (not sure and will not be in demo because of the short time frame) you will talk more negative and mean towards other characters, as compared to if not, you will just be a smartass who is willing to possibly help people.
-The individual choices you make will determine what events will be available in the future. Even if you are on the path of good, that choice to kill an innocent will possibly haunt you during the course of the game.
-Varying Plots and Endings: Depending on your moral affiliation and choices in the game will determine what plot line you follow and what version of it will you get. Do you want to just get rid of the demon immediately, use his strength to save the world, or let the demon take control? Those are just a few planned right now.
-You'll have the choice to go through the game with only the hero or perhaps you'll want to pick up a few companions. How you interact with certain characters, actions in their vicinity, and your affiliation will determine who will want to join, kill you, or will become your rival?
-Several side-quests and secret bosses to be found.
-Hunter's Guild: Main location to find several optional quests to gain extra gold to pay for items, weapons, armor, or whatever else you may need.
-Each shop will have their own unique items and prices which will vary during the course of the game.

________________________________________________________
I thought I would go ahead and start showing this off. It's far from being complete, and it seems almost as far to the demo. I'll try to update this area as I slowly finish the game. Also, I'm needing some help, so if you are good at music, map making (need RPG Maker VX), scripting (also RPG Maker VX), artists, spriter, and event adviser (need to know RPG Maker VX events). Right now, as I don't have any in those areas, that game probably isn't going to look it's best, but hey, it might eventually gain people.
Some pictures of the game soon.
