Hi, my name is Nero and my life sucks!

You would think with my turning 18 and everything I would be getting drunk and hooking up with hot babes, but no.

Instead I have become the village’s Courier, giving me the thrilling job of delivering shiny rocks to some city miles away.

Did I mention that my village is in the middle of a god forsaken forest filled with vicious monsters hungry for human flesh?

Wait, it gets better.

See while travailing though the woods I misplaced my sword, as one does while running for their lives! Fortunately I managed to find a sword logged deep in forest.

Lucky break hah? I thought so too, before I discovered that sword was some sort of mystic seal and by touching it I have released “Void”, the embodiment of darkness and nothingness, unto the world devouring everything in its path until it envelopes everything.

And guess who now has to stop it?

So now I have to journey around the continent with an angry Rune Knight who just seems to want to brutally kill everything, her ditzy younger sister, who for some reason outranks her, and a snarky mage who I don’t completely trust partially due to the fact he tried to kill us.

Plus, not only are we up against the essence of darkness we also have to deal with a mad undead sorcerer who thinks he’s a god, a cult of radicals who want to ban all magic and technology and the Darklords, the five most powerful, ruthless beings on the plant who 100 years ago nearly brought the world to its knees.

Sounds like fun.


Eternal - Return of the Void, is a throwback to the good old days of RPG Maker 2003. Where games where stitched together music and graphics stolen from everywhere and mashed together to create a unique experience dripping with nostalgia. And no it’s not just an excuse so I don’t have to bother with graphic consistency, shut up Steve!

Join Nero, on his quest and watch as what should be an ordinary task is hampered by an ever more improbable series of events that eventually snowballs into dealing with necromancers, inept political leaders, a grope of dangerously powerful individuals who everyone thought where dead, and the very concept of darkness and nothingness that wants nothing more than to consume everything.

Features:
  • Challenging old fashioned turn based combat system... If you call that a feature.

  • The ability to change the Battle BGM between three styles. Original, Traditional, and Classic.

  • A crafting system to create new arms and armor from enemy drops (not present in the demo)

Brand new World – VX ace Eternal Demo Release.

Finally after taking way too long to get something done we have a new DEMO!



I know I can’t believe it either. I’m so happy!

Incidentally you may or may not have noticed an update to the main summery page, and a new credits page detailing the resources used in its creation.

Also, as I mentioned before, I'll be keeping the old 2K3 demo around for a while just in case anyone wants to compare the two games. then I'll probably get rid of it in like a week or so. We'll see.

Well nothing left to say other than I hope you enjoy it.

Souds fun!
Well...Despite all the nitpicking and what not, I've got to say I like the sound of this all so far!

I like the way you've described the story in the hero's words...I'm hoping there will be a lot more, you make it sound interesting :).

Also, RTP or not, I like the graphics style you've chosen. It sets it apart from all the SNES lookalikes around here. And yes people, it's going to look pixelated, it's on RM2k3!

Anyways, subscribed. Can't wait to see what you pull out here, I'm hoping to give it a thumbs up, myself.

My apologies.

After going over my game I’ve discovered a few bugs in the coding. In response I’ll be removing the existing demo until I get these problems fixed.
So while I’m at it I’ll also adjust the, rather unpleasant, difficulty of the first are to something more manageable as well as, hopefully, fixing the grammar and length.

The good news is I have more playtesters onboard now, which will hopefully result in a more polished Demo.

I should have the updated demo ready in about a week or two if all goes well.

Gaahhhh... Double post. Stupid unreliable internet connection.

Anyway should have an update available soon... I hope.
Oh my god the battle music. I doubt I’ll do a review for this, but hopefully some feedback to come!

The battle music how, good or bad? Sorry I’m not good at interpreting comments like that on the net, a simple "nice/sucks" will work.

That said if you do decide to do a review that should be great; you are one of my favorite reviewers here.
Soon as I start the game I get file system 3 cannot be opened - any help?

You do need RPG maker 2003 installed to get it to work. Other than that no idea, this hasn’t come up before.
Its installed ? Sorry This time I extracted it to the game folder rather than the computer - now all works fine !!

I just finished up on editing the demo. I really didn’t want to do it so soon or at all really, but with the new titles and stuff I thought it would be a waste not to include them in the demo. So I’ve upgraded the demo into Demo+, for lack of a better term.

For those of you who have already downloaded the game... I wouldn’t recommend downloading it again, since it’s the same as before, just with nicer pictures now and some small grammar checks. Unless of course, you really, really want too.
Played the demo, die in the forest immediately every time. Aside from that the maps are beautiful.

Yeah that forest is a bitch; I’m still working on the difficulty. If you haven’t found him yet there is a guy south of the village that gives you a bunch of healing herbs for beating some really weak enemies. You can also rest in Nero's shack. That should help.
I played through and it was good, but then couldnt open file villian during first video.

I'll have a look at that.

Were was it exactly?
Right after i killed that dark orb thing and pulled out the sword. Then a video pops up of two men talking.

An easy fix... And done. There, try it now.
