Evil can be grossly exaggerated, and some stories fail to recall the tragedies caused by the hands of the 'hero' themselves. Is gifted power always given to those who deserve it? Are they chosen to save to world, or to send it further into ruin?

Cheron is one of those unfairly gifted heroes, chosen by the Goddess of Light to vanquish the evil that lurks in the world. Except he had a poor judgment of what that evil was.

At the age of seven-and-a-half, Cheron killed the Emperor, who ruled the nation that was the center of world trade. The result of the Emperor split that Empire into five city-states that want nothing to do with each other, severing all trade across the old Empire and sending its Economy down the drain. Twenty years later, Cheron is now a symbol of unnecessary chaos and now lives in the mountains as a hermit knowing his face will inflict hatred or despair to the public.


"I Vanquished the Empire as a Kid and Now the Economy is Crap", or otherwise can be referred to as IVEKNEC, is a game about rebuilding the economy using a Town-Expansion system heavily inspired by Terranigma on the SNES. Completing quests in the game's world encourages trades between towns, allowing them to develop, gain new faculties and services, and sell new items and equipment.

Features:
-A modified form of the traditional battle system that involves resource-managing physical attacks and self-mana restoration to add an extra layer of strategy.
-A quest-driven storyline that feeds into the Town-Expansion feature.
-Current Demo is about 2 hours.

MISAOS Best Title 2019 and other things

While the award for the best title is a reward not directly related to the quality of the game itself, I am nonetheless really thankful for all of the support.

Beyond that, I think a status update is a bit overdue. I've been debating mentioning the things listed here for a few months now since a bit of attention might be directed back here again this might be the best time to finally mention them.

As far as my RPG Maker projects are concerned, 2019 was not as productive as I would have liked it to be. But going in I knew that would be the case.

Compared to Flip Dimension's development, which I started very late into High School and worked on for the majority of my college career, I started fully mostly myself to IVEKNEC just before acquiring a full-time job.

I will say, however, the project was ever really on hiatus nor do I plan it to be. I'm just saying that it took me a while to really get adjusted working full time.

I'd be lying if I said that was the only thing in the way, however. A much bigger issue that has gotten in my way for many months after the release of Chapter 1, I struggled on the script for Chapter 2.

This isn't really an issue of not planning ahead... I know what I'm doing for Chapter 3, Chapter 4, and all the events up to the finale. I just thought I knew what I wanted to do with Chapter 2 until I realized I didn't actually like what I had planned for it. It didn't lead from Chapter 1 very well, nor did it lead to Chapter 3 very well. So that took several rewrites.

As for what I've been doing since uploading Chapter 1, I have decided that I wanted every major area in the game to be functional, if not at least mapped, before eventing the story for Chapter 2. Over the past year, I have been chipping away at the dungeons and towns across the empire. It's a steady process.

As for what's to come next, the vision for the game is still the same. Towns will have multiple development phases and progression will lean a bit on the non-linear side.

Anyways, to anyone reading this thank you for checking out the game!

I figured since I was making a commentary of JRPGs, it would only be fitting to use a light novel-esc title like an Isekai. I also noticed after submitting this a somewhat similar title won the 2017 award for best title.

The sprites for this game are from here:

Check the character sections, a few face sets are paired with sprites, but most don't.

The sprites from World of Ruin were from here:

The same thing applies to here.

Thanks, yo! Excited to play this when it comes out.
This is looking really good, and also I am looking forward to playing IVtEaaKaNtEiC /// IVEKNEC too! :)
tried the demo and got failed to load img/tilesetsvx/tileA1_2.png error http://puu.sh/Dj6v5/d3eb36bc3a.jpg so changed the name of folder tilesets to tilesetsvx and it loads but the bg is a mess now lol (at least on the first scene) and at the first battle I got failed to load img/battlehud/layout lol http://puu.sh/Dj6xW/c1b2b5e916.png

I'm not sure what happened here.

It's using resized 32x32 tilesets instead of the native 48x48.
Don't know why they were missing though. I'm going to have to pull the download. :P
I reuploaded. The maps and battles work on my end after deployment, at least.
If there are any other issues, it will, unfortunately, have to wait until I get home from work.
Oh my word, so many games to play. I will try this at some point in time.

I'm going to be honest, the game's title is what made me look at this page. This is an interesting concept for sure. Best of luck with further development! I'm going to keep an eye on this project.

That was pretty much the plan. Thanks for showing interest.

Probably.
From personal experience, a super vague title isn't enough to grab someone's attention. So it's partially experimental.
Also, my older brother reads some light novels so I'm exposed to these kinds of titles often.
a propose a "most post-modern title" misao award

Sorry if that came off rude or anything, not my intention! It's just that I've been noticing more and more games on here with really long titles.

I definitely agree that the more unique the title, the more it could be easily recognized(there's actually a recent thread about game titles on here!) but you also don't want people to go "Geez, what was that game called again?"

Best of luck on your project! :)

I think "I vanquished the empire as a kid and now the economy is crap" is actually a rather easy title to remember, though that is coming from someone who is an absolute nerd for long names. (see: almost named a game "Oh shit, it's the zombie apocalypse and I got bitten, whatever shall I do now?")

It's fine. Sorry if I came off as offended.
That's why I proposed the shorthand 'Iveknec' in the last paragraph. It's how I refer to the game when talking to others in person.

I did think that the title sounded like one of those japanese light/web novels like "I Will Live with Humility and Dependability as My Motto." I do like light novels myself, after all.

It's a trend that's from manga.

There's stuff with titles like "The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee."
Will there be lolis in this game? :D
