Tales of the Harp - a Tales of fan game project
I think every fan from us wish to create a fangame about the tales series, aren't we? Well, now we plan to force everyone who has the skills for such a project to realize that. Our team is currently discussing if we either use the Game Maker or the RPG Maker XP for our development.
The story
Prologue:Once upon a time, there was a divine creature who watched over the world, which was called 'Harp'. On some day however, it splitted up his spirit into 6 parts and destroy his body. After that, a war breaks out between the six spirits. The light spirit, the water spirit and the wind spirit fought against the dark spirit, the earth spirit and the fire spirit. They had a final battle into the sky, but it seems that the result of this battle would be another draw, but then, suddenly a seven spirit appeared. He collides with the other 6 spirits, and a big explosion of energy followed. Since then, the world live in peace.
This legend is told as the 'Tales of the Harp'
