You can get away with a substandard story if the gameplay is good, example: SMB3.

But no matter how good the story, bad gameplay will ruin the game.
Oh, and re the nedar racing. I have no idea what a nedar is, but sounds like chocobo racing.

Mcw: Sure, you need an idea of the tone of an area, but you dont need the actual music to make the graphics.

Are you gonna be constantly moving forward, or can yous stop? Because if you can stop it'll make it too easy and it'll suck majorly. Is there any particular reason you are racing a dinosaur-is it even remotely linked to the plot?

well racing Nedars is like the most sport in the world, you race them but you also use them as transport, so you have to use them in parts of the game to get from town to town but this will not be a race, you will have to make it over the coarse without getting hit by obstacles. There is also a place where you can race the clock to win prizes

So basically Nedar = A Rhino/Dinosaur type creature roughly the size of a horse (in my mind). the size varies depending on species/breeds. Often used for livestock???? Racing, family pets, and all around common animal.
The equivalent of a chocobo in FF.
correct me if i'm wrong

More info on my game:

Nedar racing: Nedar racing is like a "up-scroller"(i don't know if thats the proper name but it gives you the idea), when you beat the time given for the track you are rewarded with an item and a "Nedar Level" your nedar levels can be spent to upgrade your nedar, the avilible upgrades are:

Speed Lvl 1: Double speed for 5secs(not comfirmed but something like this)
Speed Lvl 2: Double speed for 10secs
Speed Lvl 3: Double speed for 18secs
Jump Lvl 1: Jump a gap that is 1 tile wide
Jump Lvl 2: Jump a gap that is 2 tiles wide
Jump Lvl 3: Jump a gap that is 3 tiles wide
Blaster Lvl 1: Range 3(# of tiles it can fire inhead of you)
Spread 1(# of tiles wide the shot goes)
Damage 8 (there are monsters on the track that range from 5-100 Hp)
Blatser Lvl 2: Range 5, Spread 1, Damage 15
Blaster Lvl 3: Range 8, Spread 1, Damage 34
Wave Lvl 1: Range 3, spread 3, damage 5
Wave Lvl 2:Range 5, spread 3, damage 10
Wave Lvl 3: Range 6, spread 5, damage 20

All Lvl 1 abilities cost 1 "nedar point"
all lvl 2 abilities cost 2 "nedar points"
all lvl 3 abilities cost 4 "nedar points"

each abilitie can only be used about every 3 secs and are activiated by pressing certain buttons, the ablilities can also be gained from "power-ups" on the coarse, the "power-ups" are a one use abilitie.

Battle System:
Most of the battle system details will be releaser in later days, but for now heres afew notes about it,

There will be quite alot of use of the "delay before attack" command
The heros graphics change on certain levels eg. 20,40,70,100
The hero will have combos that are chained from the attack command
The heros defence will greatly depend on their armor
Healing items will have a better use so your money doesn't just stack u and never get spent

Yet another info update.

The races of Yanile (the world this game is based in) and some history of the world:

Humans:
Humans are the common race of the world, once the humans were the most advanced race but after years of war with themsleves, orcs and demons they have not progressed in technology in about 100years. They still rely on sword and armor and occasionaly seige weapons to fight, the are also decent at magic.
Orcs:
The orcs were once allies with Humans until King Thazad blamed his best friend (an orc) on a crime he commited, he gathered every human to drive them away. Now the orcs are a Nomadic race, but highly advanced in technology, very few still remain, they often have robtic features to replace body p[arts from injury and to enhance performance.
Goblins:
Goblins were once like orcs but decided to live in caves and forest, they are barbaric and hated by all races of the world, they do not like anyone passing through their land. They are very primative in technology.
Elves:
Elves are peaceful and only go to war when they have to, they live deep in forests, not much is known about elves because they keep to themselves, they do not believe in having machines work for them.
Demons:
The damons are evil redskinned winged creatures, they are very skill at enchanments and curses, they are enemies of most people in the world, though the goblins fear them so they are fight along side each other, they also have an allience with the living dead.
Helpeks(darkbloods):
Helpeks are a cross-breed of elves and demons, they have the appearance of an elve with wings, they are mostly peaceful but few are evil, they are often hated by humans and orcs because of their demon inheritance, very few of them exist and it is questionable how they came about.

Xors:
Xors were once one of the great races of Yanile, they have the body of a human and head of a tiger, there are 3 breeds of xors, the white fur xors, blue fur xors and orange fur xors, many of them have been corupted by the undead, they are very skilled at magic and spellcraft.

Undead:
The undead were once humans, xors, orcs and elves that were revived by the Death King to fight as his army, The Death King was once a great elven king who made a promise to fight with the demons for imortality, but he was defeated despite of his immortality by a blessed sowrd and the power of a great warrior.

If I told you to excercise discretion, would you? Spilling information is all well and good for building hype but then there will be nothing left to surprise players when the game is finally released...

Does that strike anyone else as a bit odd? Nomads aren't normally technologically advanced. Society's don't evolve that way. The thing is, since they're wandering everywhere, they don't have much time to sit down and figure out things like that.

Just think about it.

They wouldn't be very advanced unless they just stole their technology from whoever they invaded. Case in point: Borg.

Just being intelligent isn't going to make you any more technologically advanced than others. Without technology to begin with, you're not going to make the leaps forward that are possible once you have technology.

We are a prime example of this. Humans are as biologically intelligent as they always have been, however the reason we are so advanced now is because of innovation. This leads to this, which leads to this, which ultimately leads to this. Ideas usually come from somewhere; you don't come up with the invention of the television just because you're smart. You need to know physics, which you wouldn't know without mathematics.

See where I'm going? So unless the Orcs got some sort of jump start in technology, they shouldn't be any more advanced than humans just because they're smart and haven't gone to war for a little bit.

Well the humans were not as advanced because their research and technology had been destroyed from invasions.
