Quote:The main character is a militiaman in one of the towns in the game. You can state all of this in text and throw in some relevant images where appropriate. When the game begins, the main character comes to outside his barracks. It's the middle of the night, it's raining, and the corpses of his comrades are laying all over the place. The protagonist finds that his memory is fuzzy; he remembers his life and retiring to his quarters for the night. Then, all he can say for sure is he remembers the warning bells ringing and the savagery of combat.

Meanwhile, the local lord has been notified of the disturbance. Royal guardsmen arrive on the scene and discover the protagonist just as he recovers his weapon from the ground. The guard captain quickly orders his men to detain the protagonist. Concluding that he can't make a very strong case in his own defense and aware that if he hangs for this the real culprit will escape, the protagonist chooses to flee. He makes his way in to a deep forest searching for a hermit rumored to live there.

The hermit is a very old man. After some convincing, he decides to help the protagonist. He reveals that to find the murderer that attacked the protagonist's town, the protagonist should seek a number of relics (proportional to the number of dungeons, say) which can be used in a divining ritual. Everywhere the hero goes, he continues to see signs of attacks on villages similar to the one in his own town. Because the captain of the guard has spread the word that the hero is a fugitive, he is forced to keep a low profile.

Upon gaining the relics, the protagonist receives word (magically or via carrier pigeon, etc) that the hermit is in dire peril. Rushing to his aid, the protagonist arrives just as royal guardsmen are leaving the house. Remaining hidden, he enters after the guardsmen have vacated the premises. The hermit has been slain and the hero believes that the relics are useless; however, he discovers instructions left behind by the hermit and performs the ritual.

The hero is revealed to be a monster, transforming by night and wreaking havoc on the innocent. It was he who attacked his own town unknowingly and each subsequent one he visited while gaining the relics. Grief-stricken and on the brink of suicidal madness, he decides to avenge his fallen companion and goes after the guard captain.

The hero/villain is able to fight his way through and defeats the captain using his ability to become a beast. Though the captain is beaten, the hero's bestial side vies for control so as to deliver the coup de grace. During this internal strife, the lord of the castle impales the hero from behind. In a furious final burst of energy, the hero slays the lord in a single slash before succumbing to his wounds. In death, his body reverts to its human form.

TSR is a horrible place to recruit spriters for your game, everyone here sucks except for like 5 people and none of them work for free because they're lazy as fuck and are already involved in a bajillion other projects that will never get finished

This is pretty much true.
It's not really clear what you're looking for in terms of a game, aside from a typical "Zelda clone." Welp, I'm lazy and don't read. What are you building this game with?
