Hello folks, for those of you who know me from years gone past you know who I am, those who don't I was the maker of the ever terrible ms_quest series. (Includes ms_quest, ms_caves, ms_swamp, ms_town)
However I have been working on the "M2" series as I call it, and several portions are nearing ready state as Iâve gotten m2_quest, m2_depths, and m2_forest near completion!! (BIG THANK YOU TO JM FOR GIVING ME THE OLD MAP SOURCES THAT I LOST!!!)
I will use this thread as the official announcement of releasing and beta tests of the series. Keep an eye open for teaser screenshots, storyline, and much more! (Please note that anything in post is subject to change. from the storyline to the maps themselves.)
Here is a layout of what my insight of the series is to look like:
Storyline:
MasterSword Quest (M2_Quest) - "The Valley of Destruction" - Update of MS_Quest, totally redone.
The journey unfolds in a field, shrouded by darkness this place has been named "Durynval" (Pronounced: Dur-un-val) meaning bound to darkness. This valley was named this by the Arch Magi of the village. One man had set from the village to live in Durynval, many called him a fool for entering the realm of darkness, but he laughed and said, "You are the fools, for true evil lies within you". This vale is constantly cold in the air, but from the earth, warmth. In the midst of this place, a cave dug by the man, the man discovered this place, and set an up rope to study it further. He claims that many treasures and perils are in the cave. Yet none obeyed him, many tried to seek this "treasure" but it could not be found. A man named Baldos (Pronounced: Bal-dus) said when he returned from the cave to the village, "do not seek the treasure in the cave, all that lives in there is the heart of darkness".
MasterSword Caves (M2_Caves) - "The Crypt of Evil" - Update of MS_Caves, totally redone.
Baldos told the village people of his discoveries he claimed that the caves was "The Crypt of Evil". He said, with light in one hand, and a blade in the other he ventured the caves for years for treasure. But yet none was found. He said, "An avatar of evil lies down there, through the pendulums of horror, and the winding maze of the caves. I build for myself a bridge, went I got to the other side a giant awaited me, and severed my hand, the one that bore my guiding light. I fled in absolute horror and pain, to warn you all, of the demon within. Do not venture into the darkness, it shall also consume you.
MasterSword Swamp (M2_Swamp) - "The Swamps of Sorrow" - Update of MS_Swamp, totally redone.
When this forest was first sighted by the townsâ people they claimed that it had beauty beyond imagination. They crafted a bridge though the wondrous forest, and built their town by the River of Divinity so they could gaze upon this region. A great wyrm nourished this place. This forest was named "Reungoth" (Pronounced: Rui-un-goth) meaning the light in chaos. The wyrm had wings of sapphire and a face, known only to devour. It is said by the people that the Great Wyrm burrowed itself within the earth to give life to the forest, but yet, some believed this to be a myth. The Arch Magi saw the Great Wyrm as a threat, all seven of the Arch Magi congregated on the bridge facing the Great Wyrm. The Great Wyrm gazed at them, as if it had no mind of its own. With the power of the seven Arch Magi, they petrified the Great Wyrm. It is said by a witness that the Great Wyrm did what seemed to be shedding tears when it was petrified. Its tears filled Reungoth with poison and corruption. The Arch Magi, where never seen after this petrifaction, the people say that, "The bones of the Arch Magi still walk the corrupted swamps that they crafted".
MasterSword Wyrm (M2_Wyrm) - "The Beast of Purification" - Was never made, will be made, but name changed to M2_Wyrm to fit the updated series.
Some say inside this beast is a plague, some say the Arch Magi were devoured, others say that a great shrine lies within. None have discovered the depths of the Great Wyrm, therefore no legend was ever made. But they know that the Great Wyrm purged the forest of many plagues, withholding the seeping corruption of the realm within it.
MasterSword Town (M2_Town) - "The Village of Divinity" - Added more things, updated version of MS_Town. MS_Tower will be accessed âsecretlyâ through this region.
It is said, that the first of the Furthren (Pronounced Fur-the-ren) people first built the city here, they built it around the seven Arch Magi's power. But since the sudden lost of the Arch Magi, the village has been rebuilt and has been in utmost prosperity since the days of the townâs recreation.
MasterSword Tower (M2_Tower) - "The Tower of Creation" - Never made, name changed to fit new series, will be created for this series.
It is said that a tower was crafted by pure darkness, however through it the realm of Durynval came into being. Though its location has not been revealed to this day and is believed to be myth, the Furthren believe it to exist.

My hopes are to produce a absolutely legit series (no caged monsters, chests in fields, etc.) that you can begin as a beginner on and venture on, and hopefully one day be allowed on FN for all to play. Your feedback and ideas this close to completion may be included! Any feedback will be taken into consideration.
Thank you for your time!
*Edit 7/1/09: Added some screenshots

Update 8/1/09:
Currently ran into a speed-bump with m2_forest, taking a moment to work out the bugs. In the mean time working on m2_caves, have an entire floor plan laid out for it. m2_depths is awaiting implementation of npcs and events and final tiggering.
Here are some shots of M2_Caves in its skeleton state.
Map progress:
Hand drawn plans:
Yeah I know giving you the map is sort of a spoiler... But if you understand my hand writing you deserve a map of the map.
Translating it into what I made was interesting, you'll notice the drawn in comparison with the current game skeleton is slightly different.
Also, fixed chain alignment in M2_Depths as visable in screenshot. Thanks for your feedback!
Until next time!

Update 8/2/09:
?
Who? Him?
Due to a lot of requests, m2_wyrm is being taken into high consideration.
Plans for M2_Wyrm is a progressive higher level puzzle/fight dungeon, based in a unique new setting (and fun lava!) for ms players to experience.
Expect to see M2_Wyrm when M2_Swamp is released, due to storyline swamp is his home.
