Trials & Tribulations

I've been saying I'd do something around promoting/using/making tutorials for RMVX for like forever and haven't gotten around to it...UNTIL NOW.

I am going to make a straightforward game in RMVX called "Trials & Tribulations" (lol T&T)(take THAT V&V!) and I will blog about my experience as an avid Rm2k3 user making the leap to RMVX. It should prove boring to read interesting! (I hope! (yeah right!))

This game will contain nothing fancy. This is going to be a beginner's project. I don't want to do anything overly complicated, advanced or intimidating. I am an absolute beginner with VX.

For those VX experts out there: I will reach out to you for help, but I intend to try things out on my own since that is the point of the project.

STORY ::..

The land of Xnyndril is in peril! The Dark Lord Voidius and his army of netherdemons is destroying the world! The kingdom's many attempts to slay the evil lord have failed, resulting in a dearth of suitable heroes. To the rescue are the Quirks, a motley band of heroes who have opted to pursue the more esoteric classes in their training.

CLASSES ::..
*a work-in-progress, subject to change.

I will reveal more about the classes and my plans for them as my ideas mature! Also, Dudesoft is making some wicked character art. This will eventually migrate to its own gamepage once more data is ready.

Beekeeper
Uses bees and bee-skills to fight, has honey for healing.

Facepuncher
Punches faces. Hard.

Guitaromancer
A wizard who plays guitar. He can build up power and unleash a killer riff.

Mad Hatter
Wearing different hats unlocks different abilities.

Pokerface
A clever mathamagician who uses numbers and probability to defeat his foes.

Larper
Pretends to be a hero. But he is really good at pretending.

Barkeep
Imbibes and provides various liquids for status effects.

Rouge
A rogue-of-questionable-gender. He (she?) is not above stealing, either.


Now, that's 8 classes BUT there is no definitive healer-type. Currently the Philanthropologist is the front-runner for that role (the study of the strong affinity or love for humans). Spiritual Healers and Pharmacomancers are also in the mix. I was also considering having Droids, because robots are cool.
