The story of Magin...
Derek and Matt are cousins getting together for a joint birthday/house warming party. Matt's room gives him the ability to travel to fictional lands and interact with fictional characters... literally. Curious to see how the traveling works, Derek recalls a recurring dream he's been having of a world called Magin. In the blink of an eye, both boys are transported to a forest within Derek's dream world. After a rough first encounter, the boys try to go home... only to find they are stuck. While merely trying to get out of Magin, they are thrust in the middle of a pool of prophecies and are told it is up to them to save the world, themselves, and their loved ones from an evil man of strategy.
Playing mainly as Derek, choose whether to stay in the Light, switch to the Dark, or to not really choose at all..
Care to close your eyes and get lost in a dream?

FEATURES:
Multiple Endings
There are three endings- Light, Dark, and Defeat. Throughout the game, the player will be given choices which determine his moral standing in the game. These choices will ultimately decide the ending.

Interactive Schools
There are five schools in the world of Magin for your characters to go to. Each school has quests for you to complete and new skills to learn.

Unique Battlers and Facesets
RaineGryphon will be drawing unique battlers and Facesets for each of the Playable Characters so there will be a different feel than with the standard drawings.

More Features to Come

CHARACTERS:
Fighter Characters

Derek is the main character. He will be fought with no matter the choices you make. He is a young teen/preteen and so is skeptical at first of his cousin's stories but soon becomes engrossed in the world of his dreams.

Matt is a charismatic preteen who wants nothing more than to feel accepted and important. He has very little sense of tact which brings some comic relief throughout the game. His father died shortly before the game began so, while this adventure is somewhat an escape from his reality, Matt is still dealing with the loss of his father and best friend. (His picture will be changing shortly. Check back soon.)

Iana is a young teen who has had great responsibility suddenly thrust upon her shoulders. She is not the best people person to begin with... but people can change? Right? She is very strong in both will and body. She is initially distrusting of everyone but is very loyal once she trusts someone.

Garin is... a misfit. He's been cast out of the only home he's ever known. He seems to cause trouble wherever he goes. And he doesn't seem to have any ability whatsoever. But he's very charismatic and sure to bring a smile to your face with his antics. Responsibility and some direction are really all he needs to be off in the world.

Dalin is a teen near his prime. Were he in our world, he would probably be picking out a college... but instead he's leading a small village and delegating to his younger sister, Iana. Dalin is trusting but leery.

Zon looks like a young teen though his age is not really known as he is of the immortal Fae. He is very easy going but will stick to something once he commits. Zon has a great sense of casual humor
but don't let him try to tell you any jokes- they're some of the corniest you've ever heard. He has some experience with magic but no formal training- just enough to defend himself and make chores a little easier.

Lithe is Zon's twin... though they look nothing alike. She longs to be a spy but doesn't seem to have the skill. She's very energetic and is great opposite Matt. They feed off each other- making for a great time. Lithe would live in an entirely pink world if she could.

NPC's and Non-Fighter Characters
Hag is an odd character. She is a mystery until the very end of the game. For all appearances, she's your classic Hansel and Gretel type witch... but she acts quite matronly.
Lesire is the Namer. She looks into the Patterns of the world and sees different outcomes. Almost every choice a person makes changes who they are destined to become. Once a person's Path is clear, she Names them and gives them advice as to how to best fulfill the duties of their Name. She is a mystery to most because of her Seeing ability but her side is very clear.
Raya is your typical faery- or pixie rather. She rarely has a dark thought and glows according to her mood. Most of the time, she is exceedingly brighter than most pixies- very little can dampen her mood. She is often a scapegoat however... which lands her, falsely, in Tree Prison.
Queen Isobelle is a kind queen. There hasn't been crime in her realm for most of her reign. She knows more than she lets on but feels that knowledge is something which must be earned rather than learned. She'll do anything she can to ensure that Magin stays in the light.

Nice story, I wonder how it will turn out.

Oooh! I can't wait! It sounds really good!

Sounds like an interesting game I'll be keeping an eye on the progress!

this game sounds awesome!!!
if u need a game tester i will b glad 2 help!!!

I'll definitely be needing beta testers... but there's still a while away before we even really begin alpha testing. Thanks though! I'll let you know when it gets there.
I think I did a better job this time with the game description. XD

Seems an interesting game, I hope it comes out soon.

It coming out soon would be awesome... but I'm afraid it's hopeful thinking. I do hope that we can get it done by Christmas.

Thought I'd post the development team and give you guys an update. So check the first post.
Also... who would like to see the characters and a little bit about them?

I would surely like to try it when it's ready in a few months
Oh and I would like some info about the characters! And some screenshots or the characters' icons please, when you have them!

Alright, I have some facesets up there of the fighter chars.
And most of the characters in the game now have a little blip about them.
Screenshots will be posted soon as I have them uploaded.

Oh, they look nice!
Though I must say it seems to me that they all look like boys o_O

Cool! Thanks for the update. It's good to see pictures. Now that I'm back in town, I hope to be able to start working on this. Do you have any more background for any of the characters? Or ideas for background that could be developed in a side quest?

Ya. Some. Most of the background is for the short prequel I hope to do after this one is done.
I'll send you the stuffs.

The storyline is intriguing... will be interesting to see where you take this. I like the characters and their discriptions. I think this will be fun adventure with a deeper underlying storyline. Thanks for sharing!

I love the storyline and the characters and such... when you come to needing testers just let me know and I will be glad to help.

Thanks. Will do!

Sorry to double post... but it's been a while- long enough that no one would notice an edit.
I've changed the facesets of a few of the characters and will begin uploading the charsets as well.
Screenies will take a while longer.

This sounds so good I can`t wait for a demo

thanks, moon.

Magin sounds great...I'll be looking forward to the demo's release (I've been living under a coconut shell for too long that I've missed so many stuff, I just noticed this game and other games in this forum ^^; )
