Proposed Layout

How's this look as a layout?

• Plot And Setting
• Characters
• Gameplay

  • Platforming
  • Magic Boarding

Looks pretty good, methinks. Then again, I'm biased. Cheers, Lankybugger 19:53, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Those are good ideas but what do you mean by hoverboarding?-hotspot

Whoops, should have been Magic Boarding. Cheers, Lankybugger 13:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't see why we need magic boarding all it is is x to jump and up to go faster ^^, why did you get rid of the see also for similar games?-hotspot

kya article

someone put all of the kya dark lineage categories on the one article! it was decided to have its own page with the 3 categories together , here is where we will put it bt i cannot right now i must go.list of characters,worlds and items in kya dark lineage-hotspot

That was me. It was all decided to be merged somewhere. Previous experience tells me that for this to be a good article, this isn't going to require a seperate page detailing all of the items, monsters, creatures, and characters. Wikipedia is not intended to be a game guide, and no encyclopedia would go into that much detail about the individual items. Covering them in the Gameplay section as part of the prose will be sufficient. Likewise the various areas of the game can be detailed in a "Setting" section.

Extensive work done on the article...

First off, I rewrote the Plot section... No doubt I'm missing a few key points, as I'm working from my poor memory here and had to extrapolate from my memories based on that and a spoiler-free walkthrough. If hotspot (or anyone else who's finished the game) would like to go into more depth, I'll firm up the Plot section's prose and make things a lot clearer. I intend to do a rapid-fire replay of the game if I get the chance this week (taking down quotes so I can source the plot section), but if anyone would like to do that or track down a script of the game, that'd be very, very helpful.

In addition to that, I've cut out the majority of the images in the article. They were largley redundant and greatly messed with the formatting. Plus, Wikipedia's fair use policy allows us to pull screenshots from websites so long as we can justify the use and provide the source, so it might be best to use the developer's screenshots due to the clarity.

Finally, I've trimmed down the article quite a bit. Trivia, Characters, Creatures, and Items are all blasted down. Characters can be covered sufficiently within the plot section with a bit more work, while Creatures and Items can be covered through prose in the Gameplay section. Most of the trivia either couldn't be sourced, or wasn't worth mentioning in the article. Clearly a fair amount of this still needs sourcing per WP:CITE, but that's work I'm going to leave for after the mass slash and burns are done.

Well, it's 3:30am so I think I'm going to call this a night. Cheers, Lankybugger 07:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
