This game is a tribute to the old school program RPG Maker 2000 that I used to live off of back in the day.
Keep in mind that this is the version you should be playing;
http://rpgmaker.net/games/4658/
In this quest you play as a Dark Elf named Dagree. He's a simple treasure hunter who is normaly feared by humans. For some reason, the citizens of Vitality Island aren't scared of him except for the naughty Royal Family. Along the way you can make choices in the game that determine what side character you'll end up with.
The story itself is easy to follow and doesn't really need to be serious.
Most of the characters that you talk to probably rode on the short bus.
Notes for the adventure; Other main characters come into the play as well. If you join up with the wizard he'll have his own problems that come into light during the quest for you. If you kill the wizard you get a thief to replace the loss. If you don't talk to everyone, future quests won't become available and you'll miss out on items, weapons, or hidden bosses. There are also abilities that your characters can learn (pushing stones, raiding houses). I'm going to guess that the game time runs at about 7 hours long or so.
Note to self; After playing other projects on RMN, my next game will have it's own custom made menus and battles once I learn how to do this!

Wow, another game about misunterstood dark elves. Didn't think I'd see that.
I still think it's funny that this was the first response I got!

In JINYAS FORT she says we will be busy in the morning, heal up, etc...but I dont see a progression. Theres the pool to heal up but no place to wake up next morning. What am I missing (something ridiculously obvious no doubt)? Is it tied to going first to UNKNOWN SITE and beating the KNIGHTMARE? And THATS another thing...that bugger simply kicks me from one end of the game to the other. I am level 30 with nearly everyone and even the other is level 29. I have tried BUBBLE SCROLLS, SKILLS, SCROTUM LICKS and he just sits there and wipes me out everytime. I am thinking maybe the knife which might instantly kill is worth a try. Fortunately nothing in the cave respawns!
At this point in the game is it about 1/2 way through or almost over?

One thing that may help at this point is there is a man who sells Life Boxes south of the Unknown Site. I never did make creatures respawn in that level, you'll have to go back to the desert to rack. As for the Knightmare, he's weak against Blunt weapons and holy scrolls (unfortunatly there's a limited supply of those). Every third attack he'll use a curse scroll so I'd have a buncha DeTox and Cure 3 scrolls handy. After chipping 4,000 Hp at the boss he'll croak. I'd say you are about 2/3 through the game. I never really had anyone besides me test the game this far so I wasn't sure if it would be hard or not.

Thanks for NOT having them respawn! 4000?.....so its going to be a lot of luck in that fight. So after that does Jinja take us to the next part of the game?
spirit_young

Yeah and I thought it would be easier if those enemies stayed dead! Which character did you end up with? Kint, Borgan, or Calvin? Each one has their own little bonus. And once you beat that evil Knightmare you won't have to worry about a super hard boss for awhile. He's kinda like the guardian of the treasure that will turn everything around! You'll see! I do plan on making a "fixed version" of the game after I get enough feedback! So far it sounds like the difficulty needs to be tweeked, however the game can be beaten at level 40. The main trick is to buy as many Life Boxes as you can!

I havent even seen a KINT....I have BROGAN and CLUDD. CALVIN left and I didnt realize he was available again, since he doesnt ask or offer or anything.
So how do I get the game to continue...when does JINJA give more dialog?

If you killed Calvin or didn't have him join your party, Kint becomes available at the bridge. Calvin re-joins your group in the Camper's Rest area. He's good because of his "Stupid" spell that lowers enemy magic attacks and it even works on bosses. If you have Cludd I would cast Rage Machine at least 3 times on the party to raise attack power. This is a good tactic if you have the claw that does two strikes. Jinya will have more to say when you beat that vile Knightmare. Since you have Borgan the only thing he's good for is getting first strikes on battles.

It's a bit of a downer to fight this guy. Remember when you created him, you knew what his weaknesses were and played it accordingly. For regular players who have no idea what to expect, it is almost pure luck if he is beaten.
When we buy better weapons/armor/scrolls etc we buy based on better hit points, speed, etc. When you say he is weak to blunt force, at this point my equipped and accessible weapons are slashing swords, claws, rods and there is no way to go back and buy any other weapons.
All that is left is to grind enough for the next hour or so to gain enough HP/EXP to turn the edge and buy more supplies etc. and at this point I am not sure if those will be raised enough even then to whip his mangy arse.
Are any more skills/spells learned after level 30?
I know...theres no doubt a ridiculously simple answer to these which my old and decrepit mind totally overlooked.
I have really enjoyed this game from the beginning of the demos to this point!

Sounds like you had a rough experience! The minions don't learn anything after level 30 cuz after that fight with Knightmare you get a new minion and the other two bail out. I guess the only thing left would be to wait til I release the "Fixed" version of the game.

WooHooo and how soon might that be? Will we be able to use save files or need to start from scratch?
spirit_young
1523
Yeah, I'm going through the game and adding/fixing things that need to be. You will be able to use your old save file. I'm gonna add a few more side quests (that should help with leveling up, items, power ups, and a longer ending). I should have it ready in a week.

hey spirit...i killed all frogs in witchwood and the one in a cave (in that lvl 2 camp area) and the screen went red and said something and me bebing a "Frog killer." any idea what that means? i got scared with the red screen and the loud dong noise..scary!
spirit_young
1523
Yeah, it was meant to be a shocker! Don't worry, I only have a few in the game. Later when the guards turn into frogs (At the tower) you get a reward from that.

Phew, no fighting something for killing them. At first i thought you would have to search to find some hard enemy like that girl xD
spirit_young

Ah, now that I think about it that girl was probably the hardest boss to find (being the first)! Every other boss flows in a linear fasion!

So I will bust out a "Fixed Version" of the game that'll take care of minor glitches found within the project. And for those who find the quest a little on the hard side, I'm going to add a few final touches to make the game slightly easier. Right now I'm looking for feedback, because I'm not sure at this point if the game is too hard or just right. I had it set up to where if you kill each enemy you won't have to grind or backtrack. But I guess not everybody wants to kill each foe, which is understandable. I am drunk.

After playing through this game up to the quest for the four gems (I just got the yellow one~) I have to say that the "only" points where this game is easy, are the areas before Magistic, and the time you're trolling around in the big ol' demon armor! xD
Despite being a challenge, this is one of the best games I've played in quite some time, and I've enjoyed all the funny antics Dagree has to go through.
One boss I would highly recommend toning down though is the golem boss in the guard tower..it cleaned my clock about 2-3 times even after going above the recommended lv. D: (The other bosses are pretty fun/challenging especially Knightmare.)

I still havent beat KNIGHTMARE. I have killed every enemy I run across and am going back wheresome monsters respawn to level up, money for whatever I can get. etc. I am level 30 with everyone.
What bridge was KINT supposed to be at? Was it earlier in the game somewhere and I missed him, or later in the game?
We will be able to use our save files for the FIXED VERSION? When is it going to be posted?
I have enjoyed the game a lot, maybe more than most I have played.
Doesnt DAGREE remind you of a comical DRIZZT DO'URDEN?

Kint? I guess I never found that..lol leveling doesn't seem to affect character stats much as I was able to defeat Knightmare with Dagree/Cludd/Calvin at 22, and Bawl at 27~ :)
I've got everyone around 29-32 at where I am now, lol it's gotten alot easier after the island went to hell! xD
(As a side note, I'll try to write a review for this when I beat it~)

I am using DAGREE/CLUDD/BORGAN/BAWL. Never had CLINT offer to join the group again. Lost him way back on the other side. KNIGHTMARE has 4000HP....what a butthole to beat.
