You are Eric Loire, a veteran of the ten year war. Two years has passed since and the two kingdoms have sought peace. But it now appears that peace could be broken. Having been falsely accused of stealing the Dragon's Tear, the symbol of truce between the two nations, you set off and try to find the real thief and clear your name.






Among Thieves won Project of the Year 2012 over at Monkey Productions!

Big thanks to Miracle for Css-ing the shit out of my games page. All credit needed for that is Miracles. It looks great doesn't it ;D

This particular game was actually a remake of a game I was making when I was like 14-15. The story is very simple, it's not about saving the world or defeating ultimate evil. It's about two groups of people going after the same treasure, each for their own reasons. The gameplay is fairly standard rpg fare, and the graphics are all rips and edits. So.. Now you're probably thinking why would you want to check out or even look forward to a release.. Because it is just a simple, hopefully enjoyable rpg to pass the time and it doesn't try to be anything more.

I'll try to keep this updated, but for now, enjoy what's to offer and.. Yeah, thanks for looking!

On Break.. :(

So I guess an explanation is order. I know I haven't even been around for the past month or so and progress on this project has been even less so. Probably a month or so back I was diagnosed bipolar, if you don't know what that is then look it up for yourself really as I don't like to explain it much, just brings me down. Anyway uhh yeah so I've been dealing with that along with having to work two jobs since January to keep my parents afloat financially, so any free time I do have isn't really spent on progressing with Among Thieves because frankly even though I know quite a few people are looking forward to playing this, it really isn't a big priority or mine at the moment.

I am so swamped with personal/real life issues and honestly will be for the next coming months as well. I'm truly sorry guys really, I wish I had the time to commit to this but it just isn't there, unless I don't want to sleep. Let me be clear though.. THIS IS NOT A CANCELLATION!! I have every intention to push through and get something out for you guys.

I'm actually writing this on my break so.. Yeah. Uploaded a small screenshot if that's any consolation. I had so many notices haha.

Thanks everyone, got some things to sort out and people to catch up with over the next couple of days, but once that's all done I can't wait to open up Rm2k3 and jam out some progress with AT.

hey I understand about the bipolar thing as I am also. it can be rough at times I know. just keep plugging ahead and realize that many people out here actually care what happens and understand. I am subscribing to this cause it sounds like a game that I can truly enjoy. just take the time you need to and keep looking forward.

Update.. All I can really say right now is I'm working on animations for the battles, a lot of spriting. Still working on it don't worry and also trying to find some jazzy video game music(Any suggestions let me know guys) and rewriting some old dialogue.

Not much to say really, be back at work soon for my night shift job.. Yeah. Oh I did win project of the year at Monkey Productions which was a surprise, so big shout out to those guys :D

I'll try put out a blog with a real update soon, maybe make another vid? I don't know.

i'm detecting a lot of butthurt in this sector of the internet. if you don't want things borrowed, don't post them. once it's out in the open, it's fair game, and no amount of made up internet police/fake internet lawyers are going to do anything about it. sad but true.


This is incorrect. There is certain level of respect for others work expected here, because this is a community, more importantly a small one. The resources are quite often shared, and most of the time, that's fine. But when a reputable member verbally requests for them not to be used, it should be expected that they aren't used.

Anyway, in my opinion, Tau has adequately replied to the comments in question. That's good enough, and that's all I'm gonna say about that. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait for a demo.
This game is beautiful just like your face.
when do we get a demo???

Hey.

I'd like to civilly ask you to not use character and faceset edits directly ripped from my resource folder. Everything else is fair game naturally, but Im namely talking about Thanatos, the Ragan Black Guards, and anything else I happen to have missed.

@LWG - Oh don't get me wrong I'm amazed at how many people are interested in my game, it motivates me quite a lot when I hit that wall. I only referred to Blackmoon Prophecy as half my notices are from it haha.

@DHM - Huh, that's cool then. I like your run interface better anyway :D I know Revelations is using the same thing as me right now. See I want to change it but at the same time I have no clue as to what I should change it to or if I should just leave the mentioning of being able to run at the beginning and get rid of the icons all together?

The hell? I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here but.. Those run icons have been used in multiple rpg maker games over the years. Starless Umbra/Dragon Heart used them at one point. There's also another game on this website called Revelations currently using them as well.

Mine were just ugly stick figures I drew years ago. I don't recognize your run interface from any other game though.

Don't worry about it InfectionFiles games not that popular, this aint no Blackmoon Prophecy. Thanks for the sub though!


I don’t know, I think 67 subscribers is actually really popular, especially for a game that does not have anything playable. Most notifications I get from Black Moon are either new screenshots, or people asking how to get past a specific part in the game, because it's playable. You should be chuffed, the game is doing well.
Haha, nah dude. This game is gonna be the shit, I just know it.

I'm so drawn in by the graphics and the mixes, I don't see how I wouldn't enjoy it!
