Basic Information:
Shade is a 2d MMORPG being developed.
A few things I want to achieve throughout this project, is an active community
of people exited for the project to come out, lots of good people waiting for
Shade to be released, and constantly giving feedback and reading updates,
and sharing there ideas.
Because for Shade, I want it to be far above 'standard', an MMORPG
with a big bright community, and fun and dynamic game-play that
everyone will enjoy.
Feature rich, lettings users know there is always something to do in the game.
Also Shade will be very dynamic and advanced, there will be twists
and turns and a huge development in story that will eventually change
a huge part of the game, currently It's hush-hush but I'm letting
ideas of how it will work float about my head, and when I figure out a
more direct path I'll let the team members know what I know about it.
Quests will be exciting, as well as the npc's that give them, not just some
dialog that's a chore to read through so the player can get there quest
item they've been waiting 15 levels for because there aren't any other
quests worth putting effort in to.
Dungeons with exiting boss's that will need real gameplay smarts to battle them.
And lots more systems that will make Shade more than 'just another game released'.

Storyline:
Full story can be found

Maliku bent to cup the wilting bloom in his hand, feeling it cry to him, its unspoken request for the rain it needed to survive reverberating throughout his mind, leaving a trace of sorrow and longing that made him wish to weep. Throughout the field surrounding him, blossom after blossom whispered soundlessly to him, pleading, begging respite from the endless heat of the last few sun-cycles. Drought was terrible enough, he decided, but worse when you had to actually feel the pain of the dying crops. Sighing, he sent a sympathetic impulse towards the soft purple flowers, wanting to reassure them that their suffering was not to be in vain, and that rain would (at least he hoped) soon be on the way. Looking to the sky, he prayed again that his people would find the rain once more, that the crops might not fail... in general, that his village would survive another harvest-cycle.

Slowly walking back to the thicket, he reflected on how much life had changed for his village... no, for his entire race... ever since the discovery of the resonances. Life had not always been so... revered. He could recall a time when plants were actually cut at the prime of their life, to build structures for families to live in, rather than asking the sheltering reeds to grow into an appropriate safe-haven. He could all too easily imagine the wordless screams of the trees, and shuddered with regret for the mistakes of his nation. No, as much as it pained him to listen to the thirsting crops, he wouldn't surrender his connection with the land, even if it were possible.
The reeds in front of him parted, the entrance to his thicket appearing in the dense tangle. Weary from the long sun-cycle behind him, he slipped inside and heard the reeds rustling behind him as they closed their protective stalks around him. As he closed his eyes to sleep, his only thought was on how to make the rain come.
