Who is Visk?
Visk, the lovely little Lizardfolk in this game, is a Dungeons & Dragons character I came up with to protect, heal and help guide a group of newer players toward their destinies. He's a druid of the land who is observant, skilled in improvisation, jumpy, and a tad paranoid, but he will always protect those who need it.
Why is it the end of the world?
Visk was contacted by his deity informing him of unnatural imbalances in the world, and who guided him towards the party of misfits that would restore the natural order. One of these misfits managed to convince Visk that the "End of the World" was coming, making Visk incredibly paranoid. Between this and Visk's unfortunate end in the campaign, Visk now protects the world from an overwhelming onslaught of demonic beings.
Adventure?
The scope of this game was initially to include a handful of levels to traverse, but that was quickly determined to be too broad given this is the first time I've used either Crystal or SFML. Someday I'll return and expand it into a real adventure!
