Vita o Morte ~ The Choice is Yours

Vita o Morte (The Choice is Yours)
Vita o Morte is a game of choices. Vita o Morte is Italian for ‘Life or Death’ and this is the central theme of this game. It is a game of time, fate, life, death, power, loyalty and sacrifice. Each decision made has a consequence, an equal and opposite reaction and in this game you choose what occurs.

Fate is a very real thing, everyone has a destiny, a role in life, and they can never change that. Growing up and becoming a baker is no choice or mere coincidence that is your fate and always has been. The world itself has a fate, every storm, every fire, the amount of people born, the amount of people who die, all of this is set every second of every day is fated.

For every law there is a but, a what if, a how about even the laws of time and space are bound by this. Occasionally there comes a time where the stream of time forks into two or even three paths, it is then and only then that people can make their own fate, and even then it is only ever one person, a Fateweaver.
When the current of time forks and fate is uncertain this Fateweaver is born. He knows not who he is or for what purpose he is here, indeed his inactivity because of lack of knowledge can send the world down one fork in time instead of another. The only other beings the can operate outside fate are the forces of heaven and *heck* itself, Light and Darkness, Life and Death.

An ancient pact keeps these forces from interfering and fighting in the mortal world and to break this pact is to make fate splinter into numerous paths and a Fateweaver would be born. After countless of fighting this pact is broken, a nameless angel and demon, fighting in the spaces between worlds, between time are wounded. Striking each other simultaneously they plummet through time and strike the mortal world. Fate fractures, a Fateweaver is born and a war between Angels and Demons is made all too real, the prize of this fight, the mortal world.

The player steps into the Fateweavers shoes, deciding the fate of the planet itself, will you fight for the Angels? The Demons? Or do you have you own agenda....
Vita o Morte
The choice is yours

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This is the theme of the game I wish to make I have the ideas for the game and I am currently working on the storyline. I am okay at graphical design but im only basic in my coding skills. I am looking for people to help me design this game, my hopes for it is that it becomes a large game with rpg elements such as spells, combat, stores and a great story with unexpected turns and twist.

The game will not be combat focused although it will be present in the game and I intend the story line to keep the player in the dark until the very end unless the player goes out of their way to find books called codex’s (more on that later...much later)
What I am wondering is this...will anyone lend me their aid. I will slowly get better using PAS (a truly great program) but if i create the game myself (using basic coding and only fairly good graphic design) it will be average game at best. However I have seen what people on this forum are capable of when they work together and hope Vita o Morte can become as popular as some of these games.

So anyone that can help me make this game would be greatly appreciated, I am currently looking for all positions, graphic designers, coders, modellers etc.

Screenshots
These first screenshots are of 'The temple of fates' the birthplace of the fateweaver. Eventually there will be both an angel and a demon frozen on either side of the white flame and freeing on of them will likely be your first quest.

Hey everyone here are some more screen shots of Vita o Morte, this shows the first demonic development in the world as a small ruined building (this map isn't quite done yet) I am still sadly looking for angel and demon models...although i might have found an angel.

I would love critisism and comments on this map and i am still looking for people to help model and code, hope it's looking good so far even though its coming a bit slowly =)

nice, the only thing I could say is that there're to less walls, I think with more walls it's more beatiful

Here is the first stage of demonic influence on the world done,

This is the demonic home town and as the demonic corruption spreads this area will grow to fill all of the map, gain caverns and more people,

Im loving how it looks so far and it fits in to what i envisioned perfectly,

as always i would love critisms and advice =)

Just a big thankyou to all who developed platinum arts sandbox, it is a truelly amazing program and the develpers should be proud with what they have achieved. It is without a doubt the greatest free game making system on the market =)

Interesting concept! The coding for such a complex storyline with PAS may get hairy, but I'd be glad to help, I'm a fairly good mapper and static modeller.
