Hello everyone. I've been working on this game for about two and a half years; and somehow only just now found out about this place. I am rather poorly informed... Anyways, I've managed to get a fair bit beyond the demo stage and have a fair bit of content made. It still has a ways to go before it is finished, but I think I've got a pretty good start on it at least.

The plot
Adventure High takes place at a school for would-be adventurers, with the sole mission of training it's students to utilize their unique magical gifts to reclaim lost artifacts and technology from the old world and help make the town a better place to live. You are a first year student at the school, with a gift for Control magic. With this gift, you will develop spells that can be used to help others... or bend them to your will.
Will you resist temptation to become a true hero, allow yourself a few minor indulgences along the way, or take advantage of your powers to take complete control of everyone around you?
My main goal with the story is to give a lot of focus to player choice. Growing up, I was always disappointed with games such as Fable that promised a deep and rich system where you can be whatever you want to be, only to limit you to maybe 3-4 meaningful choices throughout the entire story. In this game, not only will you get to make numerous plot-changing decisions, but nearly every scene will allow you to cast the spells you've learned on the person you are speaking to. If you see the spell menu icon appear, it means at least one of the spells you can learn could be used in that scene. And the spell menu icon appears in nearly every scene.
The Art
When I first began work on the project, I was a horrible artist and had no money to pay for art. That has changed over the last year and more than half of my old art has now been replaced with higher quality artwork from other artists, and I have a goal of replacing the rest of my old art, especially the awful backgrounds, as quickly as possible. Here are some examples of some of the artwork present in the game.
Artist Credits:
RokuMoku: Avatars
Caveman Doodles: Splash images
Inaneoble: Monster art (Currently Inactive)

Final Thoughts
So, while I have been working on this game a long time, this is still my first project of this scope. So, I'm sure there are numerous things I probably need to be made aware of, or fix. Any advice, or feedback would be appreciated, as I want to make this game be as good as I can possibly make it.
