Haven V 0.3.2 “Little Old Me”
Haven is a unique game being made by me, Cleril.
===Story Synopsis:===
You play the game as Cleril, a bard who has been asked to help the economy of the isle of Haven. The mayor actually requested Cleril's help to stimulate the slouching economy. Cleril is fairly known within the world as a genuine bard of his own class. Although many claim his work as crude and unusual, most find it enthralling and sometimes overly effective.
While helping the town is Cleril's motive, he is bound to be distracted, without a doubt. After all, Haven has its cast of characters and dark history. But then it also has its pleasure and gleeful laughter about as well, or that could just be the drunken fools in the lowly pub. Perhaps even the graveyard is alive with dead or the Jester is showing much more than some cheap parlor trick...
Haven, is like a spring day in winter...as Cleril has told me once before. But his story has yet to be told.
===World Development:===
Haven, the name doesn't live up to its location. The first site I saw after arriving was the graveyard. The shrill tone of the wind brought a sad melody to my ears. I see a child here, why would such a thing be there? Children belong with tedious innocence and cursed joyfulness.
Then I found the local bar, full of poison. I never had a taste for liquor, it does nobody good. The owner seemed interesting to say the least, with his flicking tongue spouting sarcasm left and right. When I left, the smell stayed.
I arrived at the castle soon enough. A statue of a dragon imposed its splendor drinking from the water below. The guard laid nicely in the scenery of green grass. The dog reminded me of myself. What I saw inside was sadly nothing more than man made posh architecture.
And yet, still I did not see everything in Haven. I wonder when I will.

The game mainly uses MIDI versions of other video game music, such as Silent Hill or Banjo Kazooie. I do plan to add composed music to the game, that would be real music.
Character Bios:
William:
Ahh, Laura...your silky blonde hair, those piercing blue eyes. Or were they green? Oh who cares? I just love the shape of her body, those curves, those cheeks...oh diary, when will she confess her love for me? I mean, she sure does give me angry looks but obviously she's just being coy, right? She's usually happy when she plays the piano, not that she's ever played for me...Gah! That Cleril is back. She looks at him ever so loving...maybe I should just...no, I have a good job and I'm getting married to her soon enough, right? I better look like I'm patrolling, goodbye for now diary!
Charlie:
It's another day and that means another bottle for me. No customers or tourists for me to get in a drunken stupor and in turn buy more beer. How's a guy like me to make any money in this rat hole...oh right, the rats, better make tonight's special.
That bard guy, Crilel I think his name was, I was a tad drunk so I'm not sure. He said he doesn't drink beer! How could he not, calls it poison, what an idiot. I sure hope he stays out this time. I'm sick of him performing on my stage but at least he gets the customers to buy another drink.
Liam:
I'm so tired...farm work is tough on my back. He has been gone for some time now, hmph. I hope he's alright, I'd just die if her never came home. I guess I'll try to sleep for another hour.
I've had enough. It's been a month, no word...he's dead with the turnips. That cutting board, that knife, good...now if only these damn hands would stop shaking...cut...cut damn you! Wait, he wouldn't want this, but he's dead, is he watching me from up there? Is there a there...no, there isn't. It's all so meaningless without him. Huh? Who are you? No...I'm not really lonely I suppose. Here, take it

Haven
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, hadn't had a chance till the weekend to sit down and mess with it. I'm heading out the door for work soon (where I'll play it more, heheheh) but going to go ahead and give you my initial impressions -
1) I like the style & the old-school RPG feel as far as the buildings, sprites, etc. Movement is smooth and responsive (in a lot of these type of games that isn't the case)
2) The music feels like it 'fits' well over what is going on and the town, I've not wandered too far yet, but so far it seems fitting to the ambiance.
