Everything Turns Gray
A Post Apocalyptic Open World RPG

What is it?
Everything Turns Gray is an open-world sand-box or "play-ground" style CRPG set in a realistically bleak, harsh, and inhospitable post-apocalyptic wasteland. Immediate comparisons that come to mind would obviously include the Fallout series and its inspiration, Wasteland. While of course I was inspired by these classics of the genre, the more meaningful inspiration for EtG, in terms of mood, tone, and message, was the novel The Road by Cormac McCarthy. The end goal is less a light hearted or humorous romp through post apoclayptia and more a brutally accurate simulation of a world destroyed. For this reason, rather than enemy robots or mutants, your chief concerns in EtG are the cold, dehydration, starvation, fatigue, and omnipresent radiation. In other words, a whole new spin on "survival horror", with the emphasis firmly on the survival. Unlike in any Fallout game, you must keep yourself fed and hydrated to live, and finding food and water and shelter makes up the basis of the game's greatest challenge.

Never asked questions. Or if you prefer, newly anticipated questions.

In other words, A README.

HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION:
Does this demo include the RMVX RTP?

ANSWER: No it doesn't, due to size constraints, RMVX is unable to compress files larger than 128 MB without making an un-extractable mess out of them. The extra MB for the RTP would have put me over the top.

You may download the RMVX RTP for free here:

Downloading it once will allow you to play all RPG Maker VX games.

HQ: This game is really hard! I'm ANNNNNNGRRRRYYYY!
A: Pay careful attention to your fatigue; save often; run away from battles when you can, look everywhere for food and water, get to town as soon as you can, get party members as soon as you can, if you can't find food or water, use the inn, did I mention watch your fatigue bar?

HQ: Are those the full credits?
(Or, I didn't get credit for my so and so, and I'm ANNGRRY!)

A: No, those are the opening credits. Several people are omitted. I will include a full credit list with the full release. The opening credits sequence

HQ: Do you know about any existing bugs?
A: Since I have extensively playtested and polished the game for the last four months, bugs fall into few categories; minor things that I didn't know how to fix or didn't think were worth it (for example, I can't make the enemy skill "Mug" not refer to the in-game currency as Gold, no matter what I try) and, more worryingly, major bugs I am unaware of because they were CREATED BY RECENT FIXES? Don't you hate when that happens? Please let me know about the latter. Alas, after all of my play testing and polishing, I was in a hurry to cut down size, so I apologize in advance in case the game crashes because of missing music files! (Curse you RMVX, on so many levels, I'm annnnngrrrrryyyy!)

HQ: Why is your taste in music so bad? I'm ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGRRRRRRRY!
A: You're right, needs more Coheed and Cambria; no, seriously, I blame genetics. No, seriously, seriously, you know you can turn the Battle Radio off if you want, right?

Max McGee posted screenshots: OH MY GOODNESS SYSTEM OVERLOAD 404
I thought this was called "Everything Turns Gay" when I first glanced it...
Awesome game, very much reminds me of System Shock and Fallout, Can't wait to play this!
(downloading ASAP)
This sounds as awesome as Mage Duel. I'm going to try this.
Max I love Mage Duel but you have herd that before this game is really good the only problem is the battle system. The default in Mage Duel is fine because Mage Duel is about focused story drivin battles this game could really benefit from a Side View Battle System. Just my opinion hope this helps. Still one of the best game on this site.

Let's start a dialog about this, captain. Why do you think the perspective of the battle system would make such a substantial difference?
I just think with game being as big as it is going to end up the Frontview perspective will get stale. However I do not really like frontview it is usually a turn off for me. I'm sure that this game will be awesome no matter battle system you use. Also the difficulty in this game is ridiculous I could not even servive one battle.

I at least hope to god that A) you are exaggerating or B) you are at least referring to the first battle outside the tutorial.

If you died during the tutorial, I don't even know what to tell you....
The snakes in your tech demo. After the tutorial lol.

Yeah, well that's the tech demo. Also, I meant to remove the fight with the four small vipers; don't think I ever did.
Your game is pretty cool since I'm kinda a fan of the Fallout series. Can't wait for the full game.

I have beheld!

Also, can I use some of the chapsets for my side project in VX? I need some computers...
Hey Max, are there only three areas accessible in the demo? I want to make sure I'm done before I review.
Not that I am rushing you but how is this coming?
When I try to play the game, it won't let me play it. It just shuts off a second after it comes up. Anyone know how to fix this?
I don't really like the graphics
Because there is a lot of paint edit? XD
So...This may as well be cancelled, right?

Well unlike 99.9999% of the community I have actually...released....three full games so anything is technically possible, but like all of my RPG Maker projects this has been on Hiatus for I don't know...over a year now? Or something like that. I don't keep track of dates very well.
