Notes

I made this game as an old-school homage. If the storyline seems 'quick', and the cut-scenes a little lax, or the story seems a little 'cliche', that is the reason why.

Further, to all who play the demo: Please, keep a list of all minor and major bugs. I would really appreciate this, as well as during each 'segment' of the story, record your play time, so I can give an approximate playtime.

One more note: Jon does talk with that strange accent.

 

Demo v1.1

Demo from 2-shared (31.6MB, 2 hr playtime)

[Leon 55]

Topic updated with more recent screenshots; and the original demo had a bad start-location; so that was updated as well.

[Polraudio 122]

Cool i was waiting so long for this. I will report after i play this, when i get home.

 

Nice character's.

 

EDIT: Testing...

 

Edit: BUG ALERT! After you break out and end up in the girls house and plan on heading out. I slept in the bed and the screen went black and it never went back.

The Bug

[Nisage 31]

So the demo's released? Yay, I'm going to download it.

 

Edit: I can't download it for some reason :(

[Leon 55]

@pol: I will fix this bug, but hopefully, nobody will hit it.

 

@nis: Try (site removed)

I am having trouble in the mountain caves. It is really hard to beat any monsters I encounter. They all own me.

 

 

And how exactly does the skill system work? >,<

 

The first elemental cave was awesome. Great job! You actually pulled me in the game, and, something that I never do with RPGS, made me actually pay attention to the weapons and armor and stuff. I actually get bored before then in most RPGs.

 

The way the different weapons effect your skills was awesome and reminded me of Golden Sun, and the fire sprites reminded me of the Djinn in Golden Sun.

 

Thanks Leon.

[Leon 55]

I have begun reworking this title. I have fixed a couple major bugs, and may change a few small things in the mechanics of the game. Kiri, when i made the skill script, i actually had FFIX in mind, not Golden Sun. lol. Ah well, after that first elemental, you'll enjoy the others more.

[Polraudio 122]

I love this game. Cant wait to play more.

[Leon 55]

I am debating continuing this title. I went back to play it and saw a ton of things that need improvment. I may go back and totally rewrite the messaging (or not). As for the menu, I plan on redesigning it. It needs a new design, plus a few... new things. *laughs heartily*

 

I have even been seriously debating adding a new system into it to make the game more dynamic. I will need to see if it will make the game too complex as well, however, but if not, i'm going to do it.

 

Other than that, the game will be picking up after the earth cave, which is what i wanted. The characters will further develop in Cardesh, and the next demo will include 1, maybe 2 more elementals; a new town, and some more to the storyline.

If you want to know what I think of the dialogue (which is what you were talking about when you said "Messaging" right?), I think that the opening is fine and is good up until the end of the jail scenario, then it gets kinda bland but not to bad.

 

Right now I am *trying* to level up so I can get through this cave maybe until you release a new demo, that is, if the save files are compatible.

 

 

Also, this is a shout out (or more like a threat) to all people of RMXP Unlimited!!

 

 

I WILL LEAVE THIS PLACE if you don't play Leon's game and give awesome criticism on it.

[Leon 55]

Now, now, Kiri, no need for threats. Also, i am content with the text in the jail cell, because the 'bland'ness is to show his hopelessness for the situation. They both have a death sentence, and all they can do is sit there.

 

As for the messaging, what i mean is i have to go back and change it to a different style visually. Not change the text itself.

[Kiriashi 117]

Like use a UMS? That would be cool. Adds some eye-candy.

 

I like it where the text boxes are only big enough to fit the text.

[Leon 55]

That is actually what I have been working on, as well as redesigning the menu system and so forth.

[Kiriashi 117]

Cool. Very cool.

 

 

I am holding out for the demo.

This is NOT a joke.

[Leon 55]

A revised demo and post has been placed. Demo has gotten numerous fixes, including a few major fixes, and some additions to make it a little better. Please, tell me if you play it.

[Wyzrd 12]

I just downloaded it, I will get around to playing it later bro.

[Leon 55]

Good. I need some reviews for this.

[Leon 55]

Okay, Demo updated to v1.1 Many bugs fixed

[Wyzrd 12]

I have played through this and am part of the reason for many of the bugs being fixed.

 

But I seriously recommend for everyone to play this. It's a good game. Great game play and storyline too.

[Tomo2000 60]

Really good game, Leon. Never picked you for a game creator :D . I guess some games need to test out a few scripts.

[Leon 55]

You play it, Tomo?

[Kiriashi 117]

BUMP: (Yes I know, the last post was in July. My post has purpose.)

 

 

Well he should.

 

 

I recently re-played through this (Well I never actually got through the earth cave in my first go) and LOVED IT!

 

I don't think you need to edit anything in the game so far. The monsters appear a lot, but I think it's better to have a challenge. The inflation system is brilliant. I loved how when I went back to the Mountain Shopkeeper after defeating the earth spirit, I could buy things at a cheaper price.

 

 

When was the last time you made progress on this Leon? I really do want to play the rest of this game. Get on yahoo sometime (PM here whenever I'm not on yahoo) and I'll talk to you whilst you make the game so you can get some motivation :) .

 

 

8.9/10 so far, and I mean that. :mellow: Seriously, this game really is fun. You NEED to continue.

 

Keep it up man!

 

EDIT: Also, when you finish this game, I will defiantly write a full review for it and advertise. Well I'll advertise now. :) Lemme go make a banner.

 

My playtime was 2 hours 55 minutes xD
