Arctel - History of the world

2 months after boot camp I have something to show. Have been working on 2 projects since April. The first being Fantasci: Hidden War, a mmo in the mydreamrpg.com contest. We are making great progress, all our progress, pictures, videos are here:

The second project. This is the first time there has been something to show, it is a very large project with the limited time I in my very busy schedule. Enough about that onto the game.

Title: Arctel - History of the world
Genre: RTS/Adventure
Synopsis: Tell your villager what you want them to do, from one of the 12 professions (specifically to chop down Oak trees or to chop down the most needed wood). Tell them to build a house that you don't have the amount of resources for, they will gather them and than build the house for you. It is the most resource intensive game ever made (from corn giving your players better health, to cake lowering their strength). You are also given the ability to take control of any player in your village and do any task yourself including hunting, farming, and eventually military fun.
Even though the game may sound extremely complex, one of the biggest goals is to make it simple and extremely easy to get into. The story will be a large part, as it is going off of stories in the Bible, with real people and events that took place. From the creation of the earth to the book of Kings.
Approximate release: July 08'

I like how it's supposed to be real-life Bible stories but your character name is Orc Shaman (c:

That's not meant to be disparaging, just something humorous I noticed.

Sounds cool. Can you tell the people to gather Manna in the morning?

Right now the storyline is not set up, have been concentrating on gameplay mostly. But eventually there will be added a level in the dessert with those chapters in mind.

Is it going to be a dessert level like this?
