Updated first post with features and screenshots.

This demo is not a demo of my project. It is a demo of the original game that this project will be a remake of. I have no pictures of the actual project. No one was going to post in this thread unless I gave them something to look at, so I posted this demo of the original project that I worked on years ago. At least with this people will have an idea of what my project could offer. Every upload site could not upload the .exe file for the game properly, but they could upload each seperate file in the folder without a problem. So the first post has been updated with 4 link under the demo section. A link for Audio.rar, Game.exe, Game.ini, and Game.rgssad.

72-hr bump. Included demo.

I am indeed the creator of both Rewrite and the original ArcBlanc. I can use all the help I can get, so volunteering to help playtest is a great help! Thanks in advance, and if you could direct anyone you know that could help me out to this thread, I'd appreciate it! :D

I'm currently recruiting people skilled in certain areas to help me out with the development of this RMXP game. Please PM me if you are interested.

Thanks in advance. News 02/17/10 - Created project thread and opened recruiting. About ArcBlanc ArcBlanc (aka Project Rewrite) was originally an episodic RMXP game series that was created and posted in these Project Discussion forums and other forums some years ago. Because of outside factors, the project had to be cancelled. I am now ready to start the project back up anew, as a reimagining of my original ideas. I was very adamant about working on the project alone before, but for a concept as broad as what I have, the project will not advance far into development with one person at the helm. I plan to have original sprites, original tilesets, a possible original battle system, pseudo-animated full screen cutscenes (no voice acting), and many more. Story Castle ArcBlanc, home of the king, queen, and princess of the ArcBlanc Kingdom, falls under siege and is taken over. The king and queen are killed, and the princess flees with her guardian. A new king takes over the kingdom and is spending most of the kingdom's men and resources to hunt the princess down, because he believes that she was told of the ArcBlanc Kingdom's greatest secret by the king and queen before they passed... The story actually revolves around 2 groups of people: a girl and her older brother looking to leave their current life of child slavery and abuse behind, and the kingdom's Princess and her guardian on the run from the new King. Why things are the way they are and how both groups of people are involved in the overall story will be addressed in detail in the game. The story is of a somewhat political nature. Characters Note: Characters are not named because the player will be prompted to name them when they become playable. The girl: She and her older brother are trying to find a way to escape their village, which has been a location of chid slavery and abuse, brought about by the adult villagers to create resources to appease the local bandits that frequently attack their village. She is often bullied by her fellow child slaves. The girl's brother: He and his younger sister are trying to find a way to escape their village, which has been a location of chid slavery and abuse, brought about by the adult villagers to create resources to appease the local bandits that frequently attack their village. He does his best to protect his sister from bullies, but he himself is also bullied by the village adults. The princess: She is on the run with her guardian. They are running away from the King and his loyal subjects, and are hoping to recieve asylum in another kingdom. The princess is charged with finding and reaching a certain destination while avoiding capture by the King and his men. The guardian: She is on the run with the princess. They are running away from the King and his loyal subjects, and are hoping to recieve asylum in another kingdom. The guardian is charged with protecting the princess until she reaches her destination, wherever it is. Screens Features These will be updated as the project moves along. If I can get good help and the project begins to move along, I might include other features for mini-games. Possibly things like card games or monster catching/battling (Pokemon). I have outlines and such for how these games would work. I just need the help to make them a reality. • Hand-drawn, pseudo-animated cutscenes/sequences • Final Fantasy 4 DS Style Menu System • Final Fantasy 9 + Wild Arms 3 Battle System • Original Sprites • Original Tilesets (Steampunk-heavy landscapes and maps) • Original World Map/Overworld System • Final Fantasy 9 Style Ability-Learning/Equipping System • NPC Mini-Quests (Similar to MMOs) • 30 second dungeons/missions/quests Mini Game (30 Second Hero Style) • Final Fantasy 9 Style ATE System--Seeing different things from the views of other characters in towns and cities. Demo There is a lot more to this, but this is all I will post for now. Of course, members helping me out will get more info as to who these people are and how the storyline plays out, and I will update with more info as the project progresses, but for now, this is it. Thanks for reading, and apologies for the vague nature of my descriptions. Comments of any kind are welcome.
