EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted October 6, 2006 This is the third game in the series. The first game, JoH: CoC didn't work out because of graphic issues, and the second game didn't work out because of graphic, scripting, and storyline issues. Intro Versumi, the world. Created over 5,000 years ago, the world lives and thrives. Humans, animals, and many other beasts live on this world. However, this world hasn't always been as peaceful as it is now. Many years ago, there was a great war. The Demon Lord of Nitraloth, the Demon Homeworld, had come through a portal into Versumi. Four were called to save the world. An elf, two humans, and a demon were all called by fate to stop the Demon Lord and his demons. The four went through different trials, until finally, they were ready. They then went through one more trial, the Dragon Trials. Each had to prove they were ready to wield the power of the Dragons. They passed the trials, and gained the last bit of their power. They then fought in the great battle of Versumi, a dangerous battle that would decide the fate of the world. The four battled against the Demon Lord for three days, neither side was winning. Finally, the gods looked upon the world and called forth their power. A portal was opened to Limbo, and the five were thrust into Limbo, to battle for all eternity. As the gods could not close the portal, they sealed the portal within a large, unbreakable statue. Seven items were then cut from the statue, and each given a special power. As long as the seven items were not part of the statue, the portal would remain sealed within it. These seven items became known as the Keys to Destruction, as they were the keys to release the Beast of Destruction. The Seven Keys were then scattered across the world, where they were to remain. However, now, a darkness seems to be covering the world. Someone is searching for the Seven Keys to Destruction, and the gods have once again called those who are to be Heroes. Now, it is time for the next great chapter in Versumi's history, and time for another Journey of Heroes to begin. Characters Name: Elsa Age: 14 Class: Fighter Race: Human Bio: (Still a work in progress) Name: Kari Age: 17 Class: Cleric Race: Human Bio: A hot headed, stubborn, young, brown-haired girl, Kari was born to a rich family who had nothing at all to do with the temples or churches of any sort. They didn't even believe the stories of the Demon Lord, as that was all they had become now, stories, wivestales as others would call them. Her family cared little for her, and they always yelled at her about everything. Sometimes, as punishment for anything, they would strike her, or whip her. She grew up, holding much bitterness inside of her heart. However, when she turned 13, Lily, the Goddess of Healing, called to her. She spoke of a danger that would come, and that she needed to be ready for it. Lily took her from her home, and sent her off to another land, where she trained in the Way of the Cleric, learning how to use healing powers. However, even though she spent her next four years in a church, she stayed hot-head, stubborn, and bitter. She learned to use weapons clerics had never used before, such as the whip, or the flail. Finally, at 17, she was sent out on a mission. Little did she know, the simple mission, which was to save a wizard from the Desert of Illusions, would bring her together with new friends, and soon prove that she was one of the most important people of that time. Name: Elyon Age: 16 Class: Elemental Mage Race: Half-elf Bio: (Still a work in progress) The Keys to Destruction Sacred Orb of Jugon Sword of Judgement Dark Eye Seeing Stone Ruby Ring of Destruction Bracer of Resurrection Dragon's Eye Topaz Crown of ______ (anyone who can help finish the name of the last one, I'll give credit to.) Screenshots: A custom menu system made by Diego, "glitch-fixed" by Trickster, and edited some by me. Collect and enjoy different artwork of the characters. Anime characters are here, and they talk straight to YOU, Player. Also, main characters have awesome face graphics. (I still need the rest of the character sets for these) There will only be 3 demos of this game released! At current, Demo#2 is available for download, but I am not counting the 2 demoes I released before, as I have revised most of the scripts and events up in the original demos. However, there will STILL be only 3 demos released. Once I am done glitch-fixing my current demo, I will release it, and it will be the first of 3. PLEASE do not pressure me into releasing demos...if I update and don't want to release a demo, then don't go jumping on me and yelling "Release a demo!" because it gets VERY annoying VERY fast. Some of you may ask "Why limit your demos like you are?" My reason is thus: I am tired of people shouting and yelling at me to release a demo every time I update the game, thus, I am giving people two options. They can yell, scream, and push me into releasing a demo, thus forcing me into releasing 3 demos, each with very little extra in them OR they can wait and, when I release the demos, they can play them. If you are patient, you will receive the following demos: intro, first quarter of the game, first half of the game. If you are not, it will just extend the time between the last demo and the time when you can play the full game. Demo 1: Download the Game For bittorrent users, check the attachment below. I ask anyone who uses the bittorrent file to PLEASE leave your window open and seed out...I have somewhat crappy internet (my dad is always using bittorrent to download crap...) so I can't send up very well myself...so, if other people can seed out too, that is MUCH appreciated. Also, anyone who has the full file on their computer, it would also be appreciated if you would download this and seed towards it. You may download Demo 1 at your disposal. This demo has the following: All four intros The first four pieces of Artwork, and the first bonus art "Super Secret Ending" Extra New Game No RTP needed to play the game (all the RTP used in the game is already in the folders) Unfortunately, to make all of these features work together, the game size is now 32MB...Sorry... Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) What happened to Journey of Heroes 1 and 2? -rolls eyes- Read the first sentence. I do not need to keep repeating myself... When will you release a demo? I wanna see this game? Demo 1 is released. If that isn't enough for you, I am sorry to say, but that is too bad. Not trying to be mean, but Demo 1 includes a whole chapter of the game. If you aren't satisfied with that, then you will have to wait until I can complete some more chapters. I WILL NOT release Demo 2 until I have a good quarter to half of the game done. When will this game be done? I wanna play it! Ugh...I HATE this question with a passion. Too many times I see this question on other projects, including my own. Here's my answer I always use. It will be released when it is done. You have a demo, play that. Not good enough? Well, not meaning to be rude, but you'll just have to be patient, Mr. Impatient. Yes, I can be rude if someone pisses me off. Some of the screenshots are small. i can't see them very well. Make them bigger! First of all, i don't listen to demans, so try asking nicely. Second of all, it's just like I said in the spoiler tag, they upload to photobucket that way. When an image reaches over 1MB in size, the file is resized until it is just the right size to be 1MB or lower. If it's resized, then there's your explaination. I can't make it bigger at this time. Third, ALL my screenshots are hosted by both Imageshack and photobucket. If the image is too smal via photobucket, open the imageshack one. Who's Saria? She looks the same as Elsa. Yeap, it's called: The menu screenshots are from JoH2, and were made because I was showing the menu to some friends. I've just been too lazy to go and repost the image with Elsa. Besides, who cares who is in the screenshot? All that matters is that you can see what the menu will look like, right? Where can I find info about Journey of Heroes: Crystals of Chaos, since it's in commercial production? Uh...yeah...umm...there's a problem with that. You see...it is in commercial production right now, but I haven't actually started. I was going to...but then my mom was all "You're not going to college this year" so...it's not ACTUALLY in production, but I will be working on it when I go to college next year...sorry...Any info you wanna know on it, though, just ask me. I have screenshots. :) I will add more as I see them. That's it for now, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted October 14, 2006 I have commented on this before on the old forum, but for our new members: The demo is very good, is contains good scripts and well done maps. You have to download this for yourself. It will be in the downloads section(With SCMikes consent) as soon as I put one up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lorisor 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2006 Hmnn as for the keys of destruction, how about "Undine's Crystal Tear" ? I dunno just a little friendly help, you already know you don't have to use the idea or the name at all, I just figured I'd try and help someone...unless that is that you already have names for the last two KoD's then....well....alright then, this post is useless...

Guest Legendary Report post Posted October 14, 2006 This looks really good. Hm... as for a key to destruction, how about the Golden Shield (or something), to go with the sword you already have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 Thanks for all the feedback. Also, if you want to place it in the downloads section go ahead. I am still thinking about the last Key to Destruction. I have, however, remade one of the keys, and thus, I will be reworking some of the intro (again). I may start again from scratch, as it always seems to make my games better every time I restart when I think up something new. My maps also are enhanced when I do that...as I always find out more ways to map things. So...I may do that...so, just as a warning, things may not be the same as in the demo v2.

Marked 197 Report post Posted December 30, 2006 Thats strange, hopefully he will edit it if he decideds to come back. For some reason I think he just got the link wrong. Well anyway, heres the demo: Download We moved from another forum, so I have some useful things there, thats how i got that link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 Hey everyone. It's been a while since I was last here...I'm not sure if I plan on jumping back into Keys to Destruction or not, we'll have to see...it's currently my only idea...but I don't know if I have the resources...plus I have to see if I have a working copy on my laptop. If not, I have to start from scratch...which means a LOT of work >< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 Hi SCMike, I wont say welcome back just yet... I speak for the whole world when I say: Continue this game! :ph34r: But seriously, there are heaps of resources out there, that shouldnt be an excuse. Theres always a way around these things anyway, like using a substitute until you can get the proper resource. Im sure we have been over this not too long ago. You sure do take alot of convincing. It will be alot of work starting again, but if you do have to start again, your game will come out better than ever, because you learn through experience. So, are you going to keep working on this? And when are you going to check your laptop for the game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 I don't need to...guess dad's recovery program worked, and I have it on my computer...somewhat annoyed by the fact I had to completely redo the graphics folders though (had to recopy the RTP, then copy from Crystals of Chaos, then from the demo of KtD...took some work), but I got all the graphics from the original back. I'm currently checking on trying to figure out why there stupid music is still glitching in the Jirathr battle, but no luck so far...I just don't get it >< Oh, and I am editing the link above, so the site works again...had to remake the site >< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 Sounds some hard work, but worth it, right? Goodluck, and keep us updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 Yeah...I finally figured out what was wrong with Jirathr! It had NOTHING AT ALL to do with the battle...the stupid Entonement midi I had playing for Limbo was screwed up, which caused the music to screw up when you go into the battle with Jirathr...so, I deleted Entonement and now have that working FINALLY...now it's onto remaking Dranil Tower, and then releasing Demo V2.1 after that...

Marked 197 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 Awsome, cant wait for your demo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 5, 2007 -nods- not much is different...it's basically a glitch fixing demo is all...here's a list of the glitches fixed: Magic Shop Owners use the Free Window script finally. Elyon and Kari have their own inventories Dranil Tower can actually be completed without using the overdrive in every battle. The music for Jirathr's battle works! (thank god!) And...I think that's about it...though I may remove the New Game Plus part of the demo...I deleted all the stuff...so I have NO idea what I added... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 11, 2007 Ok...having trouble with the tracker and such...please post if you are having any trouble hooking with the torrent or not...I need to know this info if I am to fix the problem. If it downloads for you, let me know. If not, let me know and tell me what error you're getting...maybe I can fix it...Also, if you downloaded the torrent already, please redownload the file...I uploaded a new one that MIGHT work... EDIT: File edited again...please redownload...it's back to the original file (I hope)...can't get anything to work... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted January 11, 2007 Hmm...I downloaded your other game SCMike. Nothing was wrong with that, except it was slow but thats expected. So if this is the same as your other one it should work fine. I already have this...but if it will help you figure this out I can try and download it through the torrent?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 11, 2007 Yeah, as it seems no one else has said anything...Cause if it works, then good. I wasn't getting any errors last time I checked, but as I just got on the computer, I haven't checked today so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 13, 2007 There you have it! JoH - KtD has been updated with the first OFFICIAL demo. However, this demo is only downloadable for bittorrent users at current, as I have not had a chance to update the phanxgames site (which I am doing right now). So, if you wish to download it, go get bittorrent...I am working on updating phanxgames, but it says it will be 2 (or more) hours. EDIT: Erm...sorry, bittorrent is the only way to go right now...phanxgames says I have to upload the file in one hour, and my internet is too slow to upload it that fast...

Marked 197 Report post Posted January 13, 2007 To be honest, i would not use bit torrent, its really slow. Are you not going to be able to upload it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 13, 2007 I have no idea...I'm trying to upload it to phanxgames...but they have a 1 hour limit...and every time I've tried so far, it's said I need 2 hours to upload it...my internet is REALLY slow tonight for some reason...Also, if I can get more people seeding it, it will go faster...but the hard part is getting ANYONE to elave the download running after it is complete...

EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 16, 2007 Update: There is now a download to KtD Demo v1. It is now available through both bittorrent AND also available through the journey of heroes website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted January 16, 2007 So there is now a download to the old version? I have got v2 already of my computer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted January 16, 2007 No, the version that's in the link is the new version. It should be KtD_Demo_1.zip that's the new version, cause I'm starting over with the demos...also, before anyone yells at me, I am aware of the quest diary error...still trying to fix it, so please don't report this error. Also, I know of the "onee-chan" glitch with Al...it has already been swapped for "onii-chan" in the full copy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
