The Life Force... a spring of mystical powers

which gives life to our world

 

The Life Force known as the Soul Spring

so the spring can give life to our world

 

When the soul is out of powers, the

to a human who can yet again live another

lifetime on earth with no memories of

the previous life

 

Several centuries ago, the Soul Spring

was poisoned by an evil sorcerer who

was forced by an evil spirit

 

The souls of the Soul Spring was

transformed into horrible fiends and spread

across the land

 

Three brave warriors left their village

in search for the Soul Spring so they

could defeat the evil sorcerer

and save the spring and the world

collapsed

 

The brave warriors had the mark of the God

known as Zemu and had great powers, together

they became strong enough and defeated the

sorcerer and the world was saved

 

The story became a legend and was told in

vanished and the legend died

 

But there are still places where the legend

still remain in people's hearts

A legend spoken about bravery and strenght

Finally, I got a Demo release. You will be able to play 2 Dungeons and watch the credits in the DEMO.

Also you can find a walthrough in the game map for the 2 dungeons if you need any help.

First thing I noticed in the intro, is no periods at the end of sentences. Also I think the little credit scene after the intro text is too long.

 

Now the actual game. In the intro part before and during the fight I noticed the word "lose" being spelled "loose."

 

I do like the windowskin and the enemy health bar is nice, though sometimes it is blocked by your character's battlers, so maybe instead the health bar should go above the enemy instead of below.

 

After the first two little mini boss fights, your missing periods on the text. Maybe you meant to do it this way on purpose, I just think the addition of adding periods would make it look better.

 

So now I opened your Walkthrough to make sure I got everything and could test the whole demo. Well I ran into a major problem very early on. When you walk into the Cave of Shaking Ground, your go to the left, to the left again, and into a room with the boulder and switch. Well whenever you step on the switch you get stuck there....... :( I will play more later going the other way but I hope to see this problem fixed soon.

[Ravenclaw105 2]

Well, I will not change the lenght of the intro, that's why the player can skip the intro if he/she want, but I will change the few errors you mentioned.

 

As for the periods, it's meant to be like that. ^^

But I might add periods for the next demo =)

 

As for the Health Bars, since I didn't do the script I can't change it. I could try and contact the person who made it to help change it, because I do agree with you on that point.

 

Now, for the error in the Cave of Shaking Ground. I am aware of that error but you can avoid it, it's because of the Common event for the earthquakes.

All you need to do is to step on the switch when the ground is not shaking and the game will not stop.

I'm trying to solve this problem but with no progress for now, so just step on the switch in the right time to avoid this trouble.

I suggest you save right before you step on the switch ^^

 

There are much work I need to complete, the next Demo will even include 2 new dungeons and I will try and make sure tht everything looks good and works fine.

 

Thanks for your suggestions =)

[Wyzrd 12]

No problem, glad I could help, I will go back and try to get the switch to work again. I think maybe what you could do, now I'm not much good at RMXP but this is what I'm thinking.

 

When you push the boulder out of the way, disable the ground shaking and then re-enable after you step on the switch, or make it re-enable when you leave that room in case someone doesn't step on the switch but just leaves the room.

 

:D

[Ravenclaw105 2]

Thanks for the tip, I could actually also disable it when the person enter the room and enable it when he leaves the room so the room won't shake at all =)

 

That's an awesome idea, thanks ^^

[Wyzrd 12]

That would work also, glad to be of assistance.

[Ravenclaw105 2]

If your having any trouble with the game and don't understand the explanation in the walkthrough, don't hesitate to contact me and I'll try and describe how to solve the problem.

 

I've played through the demo a few times and it should work completely, but there could be hard riddles, especially in the Cave of Blowing Breeze (Wind Tower).

 

That is probably the most annoying dungeon in the game XD

And sorry for the bad map of the place, I just made something quick to have something for the Demo release.

I'll make a better Map of the dungeon later, hopefully for the next demo.

 

The dungeons you can play in the demo is actually dungeon number 4 and 5 in the game which means that there is 3 previous dungeons which I will probably include in the upcoming demo.

 

Here's a short list of the dungeons that I have already planned to add in the game (so far):

 

Spirit Cave

Cave of Pouring Rain (Water Cave)

Gayama Fortress

Cave of Shaking Ground (Earth Cave)

Cave of Blowing Breeze (Wind Cave)

Masaya Castle

Cave of Scorching Flames (Fire Cave)

Cave of Strucking Lightning (Thunder Cave)

Icicle Castle

Cave of Chilly Bliss (Ice Cave)

Elemental Cave

Dracius Castle

Soul Spring

 

After Soul Spring dungeon, there will be a few dungeons left, but that part will be kept a secret for now. So this is probably my biggest project ever.

 

For the next demo I will probably (if things go like planned) include the following dungeons:

 

Spirit Cave

Cave of Pouring Rain

Gayama Fortress

Masaya Castle

Cave of Scorchin Flames

 

I will probably also include some previews of a few of the villages such as Mivana Village, Gayama Village, Fizo Village and Masaya Village.

 

I will also try and have a preview of Fizo Village Coliseum where you can fight fiends to earn rewards (a little like the coliseum in Kingdom Hearts).

[Wyzrd 12]

I'm sorry, I've been meaning to play it some more but been busy lately. I obtained co-owner ship of a rap site. So I've been putting time into that.

[Ravenclaw105 2]

Oh, sounds interesting. Well, there's no rush so you can play whenever you got time =)

[Arkbennett 16]

I wish I could give this a go.

But I'll be gone for thanksgiving.

 

Perhaps when I get back.

[Ravenclaw105 2]

I would greatly appreciate that, thank you =)

 

I know the mapping could need more details but I mostly wanted to release a playable demo. Also it's hard to decorate and such to dungeons, but I will try and work more on that part as well ^^

 

 

Any suggestions or error reports, write either here or send me a PM.

[Ravenclaw105 2]

Just a quick notice, this project is still under development, haven't finnished another demo but I'm trying.

 

I do have one problem but hopefully I can fix it, when I do I should soon be done for another demo release in a near future.

 

Have anyone tested the other demo yet? Would appreciate some feedback =)
