"Can the remnants of our past lead us to a future...?"
Dragon Quest: Legacy of the Lost is a fangame highly inspired by Dragon Warrior 7. The game will feature the shard system and time travel aspect found in Dragon Warrior 7. The underlying story, however, is not the same and besides the time travelling portion, no plot sequence will be taken from Dragon Warrior 7.
STORYLINE:
“Join a story that spans the ages! Through a series of seemingly unrelated events, a young man finds himself in the middle of a divine conflict. Picking up allies along the way, the man will confront the darkness and bring back the legacy of the lost!”
The world of Araginol is at peace… or so it seems. As far back as the people of this land can recall there is little in terms of land. The continent of Erdrich is all that has been discovered by seafarers and captains of the seas…
“How can this be? Is it truly possible that the world be so small?”
Unknown to the people of the current era, Araginol had once consisted of several islands and continents. Through the power of the demon lord, the islands that occupied Araginol fell one by one, eventually leaving no remnant of their passing.
Just when it seems Erdrich has been spared from this tragedy, several unfortunate events begin to plague the land. It is up to you, the hero, to traverse the rifts of time and save the world from evil’s vile clutches!

CloseWoooooo! It's shaping up quite nicely in my opinion. I'm especially glad to see I'm not the only one who played DQ: Monsters (I had a level 99 Darkdrium with 999 in every stat 'xcept WLD >:D)
Also, don't forget that you can add a download link from your gamepage :> The advantage is that it's harder to miss, and when it's finally approved your game will appear on the front page. :>
Also, subscribed. ^^

If you want an 8bit looking font that doesn't look blurry I would recommend "fiery turk" size 24

Thanks for the tip! I've got the download in pending now. :)
@Darken:
I think the pictures submitted may not be of the highest quality. The font doesn't look blurry in the game to me, but I can try out that font and see how it goes. Thanks for the suggestion!

You should use a Bitmap Font script so that the text is more authentic. I have one for RMXP which should work for RMVX here
You just create a font file like this one (FF6):
and put it in your pictures folder named 'font'

Yeah dude it's actually really blurry. Fiery turk on the other hand... is the only font and size combo that is pixel perfect on VX.
Also prexus that script did not work for me on VX.

I saw this project and I was like, "Oh fuck yes, I'm totally- whaaaat... Dragon Quest SEVEN? The worst one in the series? Never mind."

Aww, lol. Well, if you like the series, you would probably like it. :)
Only part from DQ7 in it is the time travel aspect using shards.

I got to say I'm enjoying this game very much. It does remind me of the good old days when DragonQuest was called Dragon Warrior for the nes. Keep up the good work. but I did come up to I guess a bug when after fighting auzl slime again my chr goes transparent and stays that way.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, and good find! I'll fix that transparency issue right away. :)

Whoa, I'm a massive fan of the Dragon Warrior Monsters series and I want to reconstruct the first game with better graphics, actual story and keep the monsters perfectly in-line with the original game. You are the first one I've seen to accomplish the breeding and recruiting system, a sorely missing component.
The writing is ambiguous up top...did you finish implementing these systems? Where did you find the coding, or did you write it yourself? How close to the original system is it, and what are the limitations?

Unfortunately, the breeding system will not be 100% identical to DQM, but it will most certainly feel similar. Originally, I did plan to recreate it in its entirety, but it would require extensive coding to accomplish I would think. Here are the details of the system I plan to use:
===Breeding System===
Through various missions and sidequests throughout the game, you will be able to recruit monsters. There are a total of 12 unique base starting monsters, but you can only get 8 of these on a single playthrough. (In the screenshot, you see an evented join-up of a monster battler. It didn't involve Beef Jerky or anything like that, but there were conditions). At a certain point in the game, you will unlock the breeding center, in which you can breed two monsters together. There are also some monster masters that will offer a monster of their own to breed with yours. There is a total of 106 possible monsters, with 9 of them being exclusive to Dragon Quest: Legacy of the Lost.
===The Breeding Center===
The Breeding Center is the most exciting aspect of monster breeding. When you begin breeding, you select a monster to serve as the base pedigree. The base monster will determine the result. For example. if you breed a Dragonkid and a Spooky, you would get a Drakslime. If you had chosen Spooky as the base, you would get a MadSpirit. To breed, a monster must atleast be Level 15. The parent monsters will be lost upon breeding. In addition to receiving the offspring, When you breed a monster, you receive Skill Essences. Skill essences are a way of passing on skills to another monster. You will be given the opportunity to pass on the skills the monster is capable of learning. Essenced skills are not passed, however. Skill Essences will come with a stat requirement and are only useable by monsters.
Also, each parent monster will also drop one stat increasing item known as a Gene. This item will reflect that monsters highest stat and will be in varying degrees of +5~10.
*No monster learns more than 3 skills. But through the Essence system, you will be able to create a monster with a wide array of powerful and useful skills.
I had originally hoped to add the +1,+2.etc feature in, but due to how complex that would be without code, I decided to go with genes instead. That being said, I am sure it would be entirely possible to recreate the system, but with my limited scripting knowledge, I couldn't do it myself! I'm happy with how the breeding system will work in Legacy of the Lost, I think it'll definitely be a fun aspect of the game!

The graphics are all custom, compiled for VX, or ripped by me. I used a program called PhotoFiltre to stretch the images to 32x32 without loosing quality. :)

Rolandknight:
You just have to get Oruba to Level 2. :)
If you haven't got him yet, make sure to talk to every member of the village atleast once.
Jay185:
There is a maze path in the woods, very much like Zelda. To get the path, make sure you have Holy Water, have tried to get through the woods, and then talk to Rothberg.

This looks awesome, I've got to say. Dragon Warrior VII is my favorite of the DQ/DW games (though the NES IV comes in close!)
I like the 8 bit style, too, to be honest, I've always loved the DQ/DW NES style.
Couple of questions though...Just out of curiosity
A: Are you using the older Enix US spell/enemy names? Or the modern ones? I know it's a really minor detail, but I'm just curious. I'm still sort of getting used to them...Still muchly prefer the older ones.
B: Are you planning this to be HUGE in length like 7? Once again, just wondering, but from the sounds of things, you are!
Anyways, sounds amazing so far! I'm going to dig into the demo very soon! Also, subbed!

Let me answer those questions for you!
A. I'm using a combination of both the old and new names for spells. In general, the three basic heroes will use the new naming scheme for their spells (Frizz, Frizzle, Kasizzle. etc) whereas monsters will use the old naming scheme (Blaze, Firebal, Boltslash.etc).
B. Maybe not as huge as Dragon Warrior 7, but it'll be quite large! There will be 13 regions and the "final" part. I'm estimating the finished game to be well over 20 hours of gameplay, even longer depending on how involved you get with sidequests, breeding, casino games and things of the like.
