The ancient kingdom of Theylinn is beset by enemies both from within and without. Within the castle walls, nobles vie for the old King's favor, and not everybody is happy with the sole heir to the throne, princess Rhiannon.
Meanwhile, danger approaches, in the form of an invading army, a hostile giant, and a mercenary troop who are ancient enemies of the Theylann king.
And there is mystery yet. For hidden within the borders of Theylinn lies a second kingdom, named Thierna na Oge, where the faeries reign. Little is known about this shrouded, exotic realm.

A Tale of Two Kingdoms is a full-length graphical adventure with a mood of fairy tales, magic, and intrigue, written with AGS, the Adventure Game Studio, by a team of dedicated adventure game fans. We cannot officially guarantee a release date, but it should be soon and will definitely be this year.

We have a website, and you can download our trailer here. This is a 14-meg WMV movie of our intro sequence, with lovely graphics and stunning music. I encourage everybody to take a look at it!

Finally, we are holding auditions for voice actors. Interested parties are welcome to drop by.

Glad this project is still alive.

This game looks great so far. Would you say Quest for Glory is an influence?

What's with all these gorgeous looking amateur AGs? It seems like there's been a flood a these lately... :crazy:

Influence to what, art? Music? Storyline? None of the three are explicitly based on anything, although of course it's difficult to not be influenced by the Classics. But ATOTK has no RPG elements.


Lately? We've been around for a year and a half :)

John-Paul Selwood helped do much of the graphic backgrounds in this game. He's brilliant. I suggest you all download when it's ready! You're in for a treat! He is, by far, one of the most talented background artists in the community.

Love the graphics style. Beautiful and refreshing, in a weird oldfashioned way...

Check out this concept/pencil drawing JP did. Amazing.

Yeah his sister (Emily) is also very talented.

Yes she is. I have a shrine dedicated to Emily in my bathroom.

Lol. Their great people. :)

It's true JP has been in the team, and I almost believe that I don't have a right to speak of this, as I joined much later... I've never seen that concept art and it just looks brilliant!

But of course I can't help but mention that, I personally, am extremly impressed by all the members of the Development Team.

But of course. ;)

I meant that there have been many threads in the Underground forum lately about gorgeous amateur games that are nearing completion. :)

Yours has this Simon the Sorcerer feeling to me. Sweet. :9
