Well...I had no idea where to put this but I thought this might go here since I saw other game postings.
To start off, my friend Allen from Tales of Forums (Partner) and I were watching/playing tales of fan games and thought..."Hey, we can do just as good and better if we tried!" We both started working on the game with our own characters but then re-did them because the engine was wrong. We've started from scratch at least 6 times already and we're probably going to do it again with-in the week. He has some magnicifent abilities with animations and making everything looking amazing. He helps with spriting and helps me figure out WTH i'm doing at times with Fighter Maker (Possibly switching over to Mugen soon enough).
To explain the title "Völuspá", I think we were looking for Norse things because the Tales of games tend to go off of Norse Mythology. He scrolled and found the word Voluspa and looked it up.
Definition: The first and best known poem of the Poetic Edda. It tells the story of the creation of the world and its coming end.
So pretty much the storyline behind this so far is you fight blah win blah save the world blah blah blah. Probably going to change it up. But here's some explanation on what we WANT to do in the game.
Special Features
======================
1) Weapon Loss - If you block too many attacks, your weapon will be blown out of your hands to the other side of the screen and you have to go pick it up if you want to do specific attacks and/or block again. YOU CAN fight hand to hand if you want
2) Weapon Exchange - We want to make it that if you beat certain enemies, you can acquire items and use those instead of the ones at beginning, AKA you get this sword to use for another.
3) Hand 2 Hand - We want to allow it so you can put the persons weapon away so you can fight hand to hand if you want. By doing so, you have more abilities then when you would when you lose your weapon, and you can always draw out your weapon if needed.
4) Spell-Chain-Hi-Ougi's - Since not everyone can do more then 1 or 2 Hi-Ougis, we've made custom voice clips to be used for Hi-ougi's. For example: Rimul: Lightning --> Delta Ray --> Arcane Spell: Trinity Spark ---> Hi-Ougi: Trinity Flasher
Characters: There's way too many to list and we're not even sure on half of them so later.
Demo: 1 character in the demo will definately be Rimul Ailerlon, 2nd one MIGHT be Reid, Judas or Leon.

I had more, but I really don't feel like animating another 400 images just to re-do and show people ~_~
