CloseA (hopefully) interesting idea for an RPG
Adventures in Exclastia
Adventures in Exclastia is a new project I've begun to work on. It's a RTP RPG with some interesting custom systems including a CronoTrigger style CBS as well as a CMS developed by ChaosProductions (still working on that...). It features a typical Save-The-Princess story with a twist. In Exclastia, your actions in the early stages of the game will affect what happens to you in the future, leading to several different endings. Even the NPC's you talk to could very well end up showing up later in the game with helpful items/tips.
I'm still working on the CBS, but it's almost finished. Screens should be up as soon as I get about 1/2 way through the project.
Synopsis
A dragon known as Grover seems to have fallen in love with the Princess of Exclastia. He's kidnapped her and locked her up in the highest tower of his castle. As the King desperately attempts to recover his daughter, he sends legions of soldiers to the Dragon's castle, only to see them burnt to a crisp. Out of options, he sends a decree through out the kingdom saying, "Bring me one who can save my daughter!".
Characters
You - You're whoever the heck you wanna be. Taking on the infamous rm2k3 'Zack' sprite, you're either rude, a hero, or both. But remember, your actions determine your future.
Drake - A farmboy you encounter along your travels who claims to be in love with the princess you're trying to rescue. He offers to join you, but whether he does or not is up to you.
Gaines - An ex traveling merchant who's been reduced to an aimless wanderer due to the loss of his job. He figures that if he helps you on your quest to rescue the princess, he'll be rewarded handsomely. Whether he comes with is up to you.
Features
- An exiting, unique CBS
- Multiple endings
- Decent RTP mapping
Screens should be up soon.

I'll move this to Feedback & Adverts.
Not much to go off of here, but keep at it. I wouldn't expect many helpful responses as this time; people are already going to envision RTP screenshots and won't be able to offer anything of value. I'd play up the characters and story so that we can see what's really unique about the game.
Good luck!

CT style CBS... I'm guessing this is 2k3, so that'd be evented, right? You've got your work cut out for you, but this could be awesome if you make it work.

Because I'm early enough in the development stage to be able to do this, I'm changing the CBS a bit. Battles will no longer take place in the field, but on a seperate map. I hope this doesn't rocket the game downward in the eyes of the public, it's just the RM2k3's eventing system is the coolest, easiest programming language (if you could call it that...) that I've ever used when making games. However, it is also the most stubborn, annoying, difficult to use programming language EVER. :P So....right as I was on the brink of shooting myself, I started over. ;D Who needs Chrono Trigger style anyways?

Any better names? Everything is up for change right now.
EDIT: Hey! Just finished the new CBS! I can now start ACTUALLY MAKING THE GAME. Screens to come soon.

...oh snap. Oops. I was just looking for a generic RPG country name and Exclastia was the first thing that came to mind. Do you think I'd get in any trouble if I continued to use it?

PM ME.
Here's a screen I made of one of the maps. Tell me what you think. Yes, I took it right from the maker.

Screenshot.
On the left of the screenshot, the cliff goes straight up the map in a line. Not too many cliffs do that naturally. How about adding some variation like curves and make the cliff extend out a little?
You could also try clustering some of the trees together (using events and otherwise), to create more of a 'forest' effect. It's more of an aesthetic thing though.
That is my only gripe with the mapping.
