VX CHRONICLES

By rpgmakersforum.com's RPGMAKER

 

 

 

History

Thousands of years ago this world was nothing like today, it was in a great peril. Now it peaceful, then it was nothing of the sort. A war was amidst the world at this time between the darkness (creatures like trolls, orcs, goblins, shifters which were creatures that can form into anything.) and the humans. It started when the creatures the creatures felt the need for power and the only way to get it was to fight the power already in place. The creatures wanted this power because the humans treated them like slaves or just killed them off. . Those who were not unkind like the rest were slaves those who were unkind were seeing as the beasts they truly were and killed. The creatures then created ruins which contained orbs that were activated by gems, when these gems would light up it would let the creatures know they were planning the war strategies. The war soon began and it looked like the humans would soon loose, something had to be done. This war went on for many years, until one day, a great and powerful wizard arose from the battlefield. He summoned the creatures into gems which the creatures had created themselves and trapped them in there. The war then stopped, those monsters un-summoned surrendered and stayed in hiding for many years. The crystals were then shattered into hundreds of pieces and hid from the world. The war was over and everything was peaceful yet again.

 

 

 

Story

It is not, this time, the time of peace I spoke of earlier that the creatures are once again returning from there hiding places. Lead by another human, a man so cruel he with them search for the hidden shards hoping to re-summon the darkness and finish the war they started! Not many people know about the war as the counsel a collection of twelve people from each city who know the secrets chosen not to reveal those secrets and to tell those who do know to keep it secret. They use all there power to keep the secret away from the people. No punishment was made on those who told the secret but it was said that those who did soon forgot about it completely along with the person who was told. It is now the adventure you are on that people are noticing things. As it gets worse the secret must get revealed, but the counsel continues to fight and keep it a secret from the people. In order to keep the secret they chose one human (the main character) to fin the shards before this other guy does and hopefully destroy him once and for all! IF he succeeds it will keep peace amongst the world and stop the secret from seeking further into human minds.

 

 

Counsel

 

The counsel was a group created to keep the secrets from the people secrets that would destroy the world forever, create wars, violence, something this world does not need! The counsel was started when a young man saw the war and lived through it. He lived for hundreds of years and saw the history of this world soon being forgotten, only a few chose to remember it, one of them being him. As years passed he began to notice that the history was being forgotten al together and for those who remembered it, it brought chaos. In hope to stop the chaos but still keep the knowing of the history of this place he set out to find the people who knew these things. It was then the counsel was created and passed on for generations. You may ask why not just erase the history completely? Well the man who created it wanted the history of the world to be known as it was a great thing to know at least for future generations when the secret must be told to the world. That time near but its not up to the counsel itself, it is up to the leader of the counsel who is chosen by none other then the counsel themselves. But in the counsel it is every for themselves so it is impossible to be chosen. When, if ever someone is chosen then the secret will be revealed (if the leader so chooses).

 

 

 

Main Characters/Other

Shiron:

Age: 20

This is the main character, played by you. He was born in this world as a second generation son of one of the counsel members. It was one day that while he was traveling the secrets are revealed to him. He is soon captured by the counsel and taken to the counsel meeting place (A church in the biggest town of the world). There more secrets are revealed and the counsel decides to erase his memory but the women who spilled the secrets (who happened to be a counsel member) begs to differ. She fights with them saying that she feels he has goodness in him. Him being a relative to one of the already counsel members he can be chosen. “He already knows the secrets” she fights. So with much debate and conversation the counsel comes to a decision and he is chosen as the new counsel member but to probe himself worthy he must find the outcast member and capture him along with the shard

 

Tetsuya:

age: 45

This is a party member who like the women who has the daughter lost in the maze is a counsel member(you find this out or i hope you do when you are in the forest asking what has happened and why the relic is activated and all of a sudden the girl your talking to goes crazy etc) (See demo to get what i mean).

 

Miruki

age: 28

This is the women who lost her daughter. She is a counsel member and becomes apart of your team after you are recruited to the counsel. She is really nice but can get mad easily.

 

Other guy (no name yet, no faceset yet):

Age: 35

The other guy was born to this world just the same as the chosen one. He was chosen as a counsel member and then outcast. (Yes, if you haven’t figured out already the main character is related to the other guy). Un-blind to the counsel’s identity and the secrets they chose to keep he fled from the counsel so his memory would not be erased. It was then he went over the secrets one more time and plotted against the counsel and went out to search for the shards.

The second demo is now released see the above post or the post below for details :D ;)

[Arkbennett 16]

First, I must say:

I really did love the mapping and the NPC's and how they spoke. It wasnt' bland, it was interesting. Which definately hooked me. However, I wasn't fond of the beginning, you were in the maze, can we have an explaination why?

 

There were slight errors in speech, little mispellings such as, "lier" which is "liar". And I did get lose with the female archologist after the mini-earthquake. But, there wasn't anything significant that would stray you away from the game. I also spotted some would be secrets for later in the game, such as the Young Girls house with the light pouring from the wall. Or perhaps it is a forshadowing for later events in the game? Which brings me to another thing, I did notice some forshadowing. Overall, the story and enviroment is well constructed and above average - especially for RPG Maker games.

 

I'm sure you know that I did not recieve a Blue Feather.

That's all I got for now, please, keep making more, I'm rooting for you.

 

I may write a full blown review, when you add more.

I'm assuming the demo ended when you be back to talk to Tetsuya's wife, and she spoke nothing of the events at hand.

[RMXPirate 0]

Well that light in the wall is something that happens in the game if you talk to the right person :D. Also at the moment when you talk to the archaeologist you do notice she all of a sudden gets confused and forget anything has ever happened :D? Yeah its a fore shadow to tell you that your team mate is part of the counsel cough cough. I know you cant tell right away but you will later in the demo :D. Also I dunno why it starts in the maze except that we can say its right next to the main characters town lol. I will think of a reason but most rpgs do start off in the most random places or in an area where something is going to happen that helps the story out :D in my case it does!

Well after about a week of nonstop work(literally) I got VX Chronicles version .02(Demo 2) done and with no or very very little bugs :D I hope. It is out of beta now so everything should be fine. Some things, actually a lot of things did change to the beginning of the game but I also added about 10-20 minutes more of play. When i played it(Doing everything you could possibly do in the game) it lasted about 50 minutes. If you don't do everything possible and rush through it it is about 30 minutes. If you see any problems or have any please post them here and I will make sure to take not of that and fix it asap. Now I decided to release a rtp version and non rtp version for those who dont have the rtp.

In the next version I plan to have a battle system where the battles occur on map, what I mean by that is the monsters would be walking around on the map(not too many monsters cause the maps aren't that big) and i they spot you they run after you but you have the chance to get away by running away. You can also dodge fighting them by walking around them if they are facing the opposite way to you etc. And then a sideview battle system probably after that encounter occurs (probably an evented one made by none other then me :D but I dunno. Also I would like to say that Seraphica has said goodbye to VX chronicles but we all know he is busy :D so I shall thank him for what he has helped with so far.

[Arkbennett 16]

Has spoilers too, if any of you care to read.

 

Well, I must say the update was a bit of a let down.

You went from a strong and logical start, and went downhill fast.

 

First, I found the Day/Night system uneccessary, and just there for show.

Mapping was still good, but it confused me. In the ruins, little light paths showed you the way to the next map. (Which didn't make sense, especially during the night) And more to take you from the northen part of the ruins, to the next town. The light paths looked sloppy, and lazy. However, I did see some updates, graphically.

 

The dialogue got slightly cheesy (Especially the ones that were edited), and there were several mispellings (Like when Shiron and Tetsuya talked to the archologist) and several cut offs at the edge of the window.

The storyline got slightly nonsensical. The achologist part still lost me, Tetsuya decides to go journeying, makes sense, but Shiron just hops in the band wagon for no reason. What about his parents? What about his pets at home? He just leaves because someone told him too. Not only that, but you fail to specify where the player is going, why Shiron wants to go, and which direction. So i got a little lost until I went exploring.

 

I think the whole counsul section needs to be redone, and maybe a better reason for Shiron being admitted.

 

When I think about all I've typed, I've come to a conclusion that you might've rushed the game, probably because the demo before this one was pretty successful. Please remember to take your time, that's why the first demo rocked. I felt the life. The storyline update made it feel lifeless and reminded me of a newbie RPG Maker who was bad at story telling. Kind of like, "The bad guy wants to take over the world because he feels like it." type of storyline. I know your better than this.

[RMXPirate 0]

I will try and fix all those things lol. I did not rush this at all though i spent a whole 2 weeks of non stop work literally (6 hours or more a day) on it. Now you cant complain about the mapping because it is mine and I really am not good at it and seraphica quit somewhat so he cant edit them. Now I'm trying to come up with a better reason why Shiron just says okay to go, but like many rpgs they somehow just randomly go lol. I tried to make it seem like the whole reason he was going was to be taken to the counsel so he can be dealt with but I obviously failed at showing that. Also I use the day/night just because the game needs some more things in it. May I ask though do you like the way I changed the parts where there are long conversations?

[Arkbennett 16]

Somewhat, I liked the maze thing, I was dreading about going through it again. But, the little girl all the sudden knows her mom isn't there without exploring the whole thing, that was weird.

[RMXPirate 0]

Well I dont want to make the player go through the whole thing. People on RMXP.org said what they hate most in an rpg is the mazes lol. I had a huge thread on it which i posted here too where lots of people replied lol and told me. Im goign to go in the game now and fix a hell of a lot of stuff. I am going to redo the maps I added and have my brother help me on the dialogue and stuff. Also the counsel part I totally forgot that he is suppose to be recruited into it because of some other reasons, I was so into making the counsel part I forgot that.
