This is a project focused primarily on plot. It follows the life of the main character, Linus, from boyhood to adulthood. In truth, this is more of a character study than a traditional rpg storyline. There are no crystals to collect, no damsels to save, and no great evil to vanquish. It is simply a chronicle of the life of one person and the world that he lives in.

(If you couldn't tell, I am terrible at summaries.)

- Sideview battle system.
- A realistic, dramatic storyline with a cast of nuanced characters.
- Lengthy and involved optional sidequests which enhance the storyline of the main plot.
- Custom soundtrack

Preview video for upcoming release

https://youtu.be/x2p8Ka8BFIM


Hello everyone! Here is a preview video for the upcoming demo. It shows off a bit of the dungeon exploration/time-of-day system I've been working on as well as a tiny peek at the Emotions and Conditions status system. The video also tips off that the game will now have *a lot* more choices to make as a player.

There are no battles in this video, owing to the fact that I'm still putting the finishing touches on the game's custom battle system. There will be battles in the next demo release, however. :p

Anyway, enjoy the video! See you on the next release!

Downloading. Expect a review in a few days. Maybe a few hours depending on the quality/length.

Lazygamer, the fonts are included in the game file. You have to copy and paste them to your font folder in order to see the text in game. They are the cambria fonts.

Arky, thanks a lot man! It will be a long while till it's finished. But I'm working at it non-stop and making some pretty good progress.

If this is your first game then you are a legend! I played it and, well I have to say it is one of the best games I have ever played.

hey, just stopping in to sing you some praises. this game is great so far. i actually played the demo twice, just so i could take some notes the second time. not that it was a hassle, though--the story was engaging enough to keep me rapt both times. my only gripe is the lack of player-interaction, but i get that this is an "intro" sort of thing, so i guess i can't complain too much. as long as it becomes a little more "game-like" in the future, if that makes any sense. but so far this is better than any final fantasy or dragon warrior i've ever played. so yeah, keep them coming, cause i'm hooked.

Oh my. Thanks so much for that comment. And yes, i wholeheartedly agree about the cutscene overkill in the demo. I am doing as much as possible to make the game a lot more interactive in the first chapter and beyond. The problem is (and I stated this before) is that the main storyline can't really go on without the events that happen in the prologue. And those events unfortunately don't offer much in the way of gameplay.

Anyway, the full demo (which is being worked on at this very moment) will feature the full prologue and the entirety of the first chapter. It will have actual gameplay and player-driven choices/sidequests/meaningful battles/ect.

So yeah. Once again, thanks for playing the demo!

Also: These notes you took. Were you planning on writing a review or anything along those lines? Either way, I'm interested in knowing what you took out of the present storyline.

Oh, no, I wasn't really planning on writing a review (though maybe I will when the full demo comes out?). I just like to take notes if a game has an involved/interesting storyline, because my memory isn't the greatest in the world. And I thought the story was very good, pretty realistic, and presented well. You have interesting characters, and a deep plot told primarily through action. Excellent. Just take your time and don't get sloppy. I have high hopes for this game.

The game looks cool but I dont think the chibi charsets fit with the faceset man.

Just an update.

I added a video section along with a video containing a short preview of the nest demo. The video also includes a rough-draft (but still good) of a song that will be featured in the game's soundtrack.

I have a new video for you guys.

Chapter I : Etonmarch

These are first five minutes of the upcoming Chapter I demo. I know it doesn't show much, but I figured those who are interested in this project would like a bit of a sneak peek. The music for this particular video is all placeholder for the moment.
