Micro Quest: Blackstone Mine

Hello World,
This is my first RPGMaker project. As an RPG fan want to make games based on the local stories/fables read as a child. Been inspired by RPG greats like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Phantasy Star, Elder Scrolls IV, Fallout 3, Mass Effect Trilogy, Diablo III, Obsidian RPGs, Other Bioware RPGs started working on my first game project. Thus the ProjectUno has started.

This isn't actually my first game project, my true first game project was A "Diablo" clone on GameMaker Studio. After several months of work realised that the project is too ambitious & cannot be completed alone. Started looking for help online, found a like-minded JRPG fan who helped me sped up the project and developed few game systems, animations, FMVs. An unfortunate event happened, a critical system failure (HDD died) losing all of the progress with no backup. After failing to make a game like Diablo on GameMaker Studio & losing all of the small games made on my old laptop due to HDD failure, got disheartened & left the game development scene.

After playing Basilisk Games "Eschalon Book One" searched for more indie RPGs & found a great title "Avernum: Escape From The Pit" with it a great developer "Spiderweb Software". Spiderweb Software titles are so interesting despite having basic art & sound, especially "Geneforge Saga". Jeff Voegel GDC talk, Spiderweb Software titles & Eschalon got me so inspired that I started learning about RPG systems, programming & digital arts. Thats when I met a fellow JRPG fan who was also an hobbyist rpg maker, showed me some of his work which he made using RPGMaker software. He gave me a short demonstration of the software, which gripped my full attention & got me inspired again.

Hopefully this time won't be disheartend or give up, will make more games no matter the difficulties. So this is just the beginning of an adventure into the wilds.
