Ah dear me, what, I finally decided to write on this blog?
How long have I been sitting on this?
Really, I ought to work on things faster, but somehow I always get sidetracked!

   Anyway, hello.
I made this blog with the idea that having a place to write about what I'm doing would inspire me to work on it harder, but since I never started using it, by extension I never got anything done.
I guess it's only natural.

   At any rate, I'm going to make a game, hopefully. Just using rpgmaker, since I have it.
I don't plan on being grand with it, so the story I ended up with is pretty plain, but I think I can do it well enough. Probably.

This isn't inspiring any faith so I'll just copy and paste the messy description I made for it now C:

"The world of Metris.
Suspended between the God of Death and the Goddess of Life, it has maintained a profitable balance for thousands of years. However, the balance has begun to splinter and the world has begun to close up shop...
   Of course, to the nations inhabiting Metris, this registers as nothing more than a few things out of the ordinary, for they are much more preoccupied with the growing northern threat of Cavalier.
   And so, we will begin the story near the end, because that is always the most interesting part.

   Our dear little Cecil is as absorbed in collecting powerful spells as the adults around him are with saving their own hides by allying with Cavalier, but when he begins to investigate black magic, they sit up and take notice. Without great trouble, the boy is arrested and thrown into prison to be sentenced for using forbidden magic- never mind that he hadn’t done anything with it.

   His childhood friend, Kale takes quite a bit of offense to that particular detail, however!
So please, join Kale on her journey as she tramples over any laws that might obstruct her from saving Cecil’s neck from the executioners axe, and perhaps along the way discovers some of the truths about her decaying world."

  Oh dear, I went a wee bit over-dramatic there, looking back.
Well, there's plenty of time to revise it!

   So, going forward, as I complete each major character sprite I'll make a post about the character with some art and some details about them. A rough world map should be coming your way soon as well, to give you a grip on where everyone hails from. Music, monsters, coding- I'll have to learn all these before I can use them as well.

   There's a long road ahead, so please be patient, especially since I am such a lazy person. I'm looking forward to this, though!
