Iniquity and Vindication is a game about James Brandt, a man with a grudge against the Regala Empire. He wages a one-man war against Lord Justice, the comically inept villain who tries his best to be evil but just isn't very good at it. The Regala military has begun secretly experimenting with paranormal artifacts, several of which James and his allies have stolen. As the game progresses, comedy is mixed with action and drama as dark forces enter the fray and James's resolve is tested. The player's mastery of the game must grow as challenges become extremely tactical. Enjoy fighting sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.
Features:
- Battles use a lightning-fast battle system geared to work strategically like CTB but look visually like ATB, and occur on the field map, Chrono Trigger style.
- Eight major playable characters, each with a vastly different combat style and with their own method of learning new skills. (Lightbulb, Blue Magic, Crest Graph, Monster Soul Absorbing, etc.)
- Removal of repetition. If you beat a challenge once, you won't be given that same challenge again. This not only means no random battles but also no basically-identical battles. This game isn't about grinding, it's about figuring out how to win.
- Puzzle-filled dungeons, in which you must cleverly use various tools collected over the course of the game to bypass obstacles.
- More bosses than you ever thought a traditional RPG could have. Just about every third or fourth battle will be a boss. That's not an exaggeration.
- A blend of comedy and action in the manner of Disgaea or Dr. McNinja. Or, you know, Vindication.
- The opening scene starts with the hero being slowly lowered into a vat of lava sharks.
This game is currently in early production stages. An hour long demo is available that lasts through the end of the second dungeon. I'll be updating the blog as I go.
Iniquity and Vindication is a sort of spiritual sequel to Vindication. It features some familiar-seeming characters and similar events, but it is not set in the same world and there is no continuity between the two games.

Everything looks great man.
I've been wanting to play this since you posted that video somewhere in a thread.

Sorry. If I had someone making enemy sprites/animations for me, this would go 10x quicker. Graphics are my bane. They were so much easier in Vindication, because I didn't realize when my graphics looked like crap, and thus I had no reason to spend extra time on them! With great knowledge comes great responsibility, though.

Yeah, now this is an RMXP game that should be completed. Comical story, unique style of game play, a battle system that requires a bit more thought and can prove to be a challenge, even though you do get healed after each fight. My only gripe is that after about the third or fourth shark battle, it sort of becomes repetitious.
I have to really ask, one of the main characters' special skill/combat style is... Lightbulb?
Could you explain that one?

If you've played any of the SaGa games (other than the original three for the game boy), Lightbulb is similar to how weapon skills are learned in those games.
James starts with four basic skills. Each of these skills is the first skill within one of four categories: sword, martial, ki, and dark. By using his existing skills repeatedly, he will eventually learn new skills of the same type. Each time he uses a dark skill, he has a chance to learn a new dark skill; each time he uses a martial skill, he has a chance to learn a new martial skill.
Each time he learns a new skill, a lightbulb appears over his head, like in the SaGa series; this is where the name of the learning style comes from.
If you play the demo and manage to learn any new skills during it (learning the second dark skill is almost guaranteed) you will see a tutorial that explains the above.
Warning - trivial algorithm details ahead:

Warning - trivial algorithm details ahead:
In most of the SaGa games, you can potentially learn any skill at any time, but you have a higher chance against stronger enemies. I felt that such a strong degree of randomness could break the game's difficulty if the player were really unlucky, so I opted for a kind of hybrid approach in Iniquity and Vindication. In my game, you can't learn any ability at any time. Instead, each ability you can learn requires you to use your existing skills a certain number of times before you're even eligible to learn it. So, for example, to learn the third dark skill, you might have to use your existing dark skills a total of 150 times. Once you are eligible for it, each time you use a dark skill you'll have a fairly high chance - about 10-25% - of learning the new skill.
uh, did you seriously gank catharsis' css and leave the ids, classes, and my comments in pretty much the same order?
that's just lazy, come on

Pffft hahaha sorry, I figured you probably took it from somewhere else that took it from somewhere else. Most people wouldn't bother to do their own when there are already working ones out there. :) If you spent time to make it yourself, though, I'll definitely ditch it and find another.
I don't mind if people look at it for learning purposes, it just bothers me when I quickly recognize my coding style copied and pasted on other people's pages.
I spent a lot of time putting it together, mostly on color picking and IE compatibility

Your CSS code was pretty, but I changed it to something else. Now it kind of looks like a pile of smoke-textured donkey turds got smeared all over the page, but I'd rather work on the game than change it a third time this week. I'll redo it again when I get a chance.
I really like where this game is going. 70% of the battles are awesome in the updated demo you gave me.
I'll upload the video tomorrow.
