VMK Stories

Presented by  ElectricLime 

In 2007, the VMK developers worked on VMK Stories, a new minigame for the Virtual Magic Kingdom.

Welcome to VMK Stories.

Here you will find adventure of all kinds - from fantasy to adventure and everything in between! Nothing is required to play this or any VMK Stories adventure - you will pick up everything you need while on your journey. Explore, gain experience and battle enemies while solving the clues you find along the way.

Good luck!

The introduction from the game.

In early 2008, Disney announced plans to close VMK. With this, all work on VMK Stories was scrapped, and the game never saw the light of day.

This article represents my best understanding of what VMK Stories was meant to be. Since the game was not yet completed, some aspects described below may differ from what you might eventually have seen if the Virtual Magic Kingdom had continued.

Starting Out

My name is Caffdawg the Wizard - keeper of the Kingdom's stories. The Magic Kingdom has seen its share of brave knights and humble apprentices defeat villains and enemies alike... Prince Phillip thwarted Malificent Sleeping Beauty; The seven dwarfs outwitted the evil queen in Snow White and Taran conquered the Horned King in the Black Cauldron. But now Virtual Magic Kingdom is in jeopardy, and needs your help...

Recently, King Yavn was summoned across the waters on important matters of the realm. Shortly after his departure, occurrences began within VMK, the most notable of which is the disappearance of the dragon beneath the castle. Knowing that a perceptive young knight such as yourself would notice this, I've left my storybook for you to find. If you accept this challenge, carry my book with you and my words will guide your way. Venture into the Kingdom of Fantasyland return the Dragon to its lair before more evil is unleashed. But beware: battles await and enemies are everywhere!

One of two possible prologues in the game.

Arrgh! Ye come seeking adventure? Then you come to the right place!

Our pirate captain plucked you from a deadly scuffle in a Port Royal tavern and as payback you offered your service as a deckhand onboard our ship - The Magic Mermaid. In turn for your service our captain offered to show you the ways of the pirate.

Now there be many a difficult task that lies ahead, but our captain has taken a shine to you - so if you prove your worth, you may be handsomely rewarded. Now, rise up and go greet the captain. We been at sea for a fortnight - the captain be eager to start your training...

The second of two possible prologues in the game.

VMK Stories was all about completing tasks and fighting monsters for treasure. You would begin your adventure by visiting the VMK Stories Lobby, where you could use the shop to buy items for your quest and chat with other players who were preparing for theirs.

Getting ready for battle. (Click the image to see it in more detail.)

The VMKS lobby background music.

While playing VMK Stories, your character would have a few stats: Level, Hit Points, Magic Points, and Accuracy.

Defeating enough monsters would raise your level and other stats. The particular weapons and armor you carried would give you specific attack strength and defense values, which could also be raised or lowered by potions and spells.

When you were ready to begin, you'd first have to choose which chapter you wanted to play. Each chapter had a list of "tasks" to complete, along with a time limit for each; the tasks involved finding townspeople and doing battle with the monsters who menaced them. In addition to being able to play the next chapter you hadn't finished, you could also go back and replay chapters you already did.

After choosing a chapter to play, you'd then choose your equipment.

Armor group 1 (you'd get a +2 "Ensemble Bonus" on defense if you wore only items from this group)

After a final check, it was time to begin your adventure.

The Battles

During your adventures, you would frequently find yourself in combat with various monsters. The usual VMK interface would be replaced with one specific to VMK Stories, including a few icons you could click to choose your game actions.

Game action icons.

The four game actions were Attack, Magic, Potion, and Escape. Attack would use your weapon to attack the enemy; taking your attack strength and accuracy into account, you might hit him, hit him partially, or miss. Magic could be used to attack the enemy, lower his accuracy or defense, or raise your own stats. Potions would recover your hit points or magic points. Escape would leave the battle.

Depending on the chapter you were playing, there were a variety of enemies you might encounter, such as:

A crab.

A spider.

A Wasteland Dragon.

A playing card.

A Troll Ogre.

The Dragon Volatilis.

And the attacks they could use (depending on the enemy) were:

If you successfully defeated the enemy, you would be rewarded with items and experience points. For your first victory, you'd receive a VMKS 1st Time Reward Pin, as well as a Level Pin which would display the number of your wins for other people to see.

VMKS 1st Time Reward Pin.

Level Pin showing 21 wins.

VMK Stories Room Items

As with public rooms in the rest of VMK, the rooms in VMK Stories contained items: most just for decoration, but some functional (levers, buttons, or markers to prevent you from walking through some spaces).

Here's a list of all the VMKS items in the database. As in the database article, there are four columns in this table: the item number (which you would never see in the game); the item name exactly as it existed in the database; the price of the item (it could be sold back for one-fifth of this); and a "no" if the item was not tradeable to other players. As these items appear to only have been meant for rooms in VMKS chapters, it was not likely that players would ever have been allowed to own them, so the "price" and "tradeable" columns are completely meaningless.

Note the "Collectable" items, probably placeholders for weapons, potions, credits, and other treasures that you could find and claim. Also note the "Trading Mission" items, which the player probably would have had to find and give to NPCs to get special items or fulfill chapter tasks.

Left Unfinished

I don't have a complete picture of what it would have been like to play VMK Stories. I don't yet know what the armor and weapons would have looked like when worn and carried, or what the encounters with the townspeople would have been like, or what sorts of tasks each chapter would have required. It's possible the developers didn't know either, and that large parts of the game were still missing when the plug was pulled.

All I have are tantalizing glimpses of what would most likely have been a very fun and popular game. It's obvious that Disney poured a lot of time and effort into the development of VMK Stories to get as far as they did.

Some of the items and spells from the game.

I will leave you with some snippets of game text from the configuration file. Make of these what you will. Imagine what might have been.
