Avarice is an action roleplaying game created in two weeks for the 2009 Game Chill Competition. The contest's theme of Opposing Forces is represented by the forces of Magic and Technology in the world of Arvera, where the scattered remains of an ancient civilization have left the people with an abundance of both but an understanding of neither. The game's projected playtime is around two to three hours, but it was designed to have a considerable amount of replayability.
What is it about?
Avarice is the story of an arrogant sorcerer, Vandeli, who is searching for something, and he will do whatever it takes to to find it. Drawn into his affairs is a girl named Lexi, a savvy young scavenger who seems to bring trouble with her wherever she goes.

My guess is that Anaryu's host site is down and I have no way of knowing when/if it will be back. Always back up your projects, kids!

Both Avarice and Aetherion are backed up in my locker, so as long as RMN exists, neither project can be lost forever. Adding a new download link to the page as well. I'll also add a new download for Aetherion. Unfortunately I do not have any of their other projects.
Thanks homey!

For what it's worth, the last time I saw Anaryu post was in the Trials of MZ event, and had previous posts in 2018. Solitayre seems to pop up every so often, maybe posting once or twice a year. If any of those two see these comments, I feel it will likely be Solitayre that sees it first. It is of note that it looks like it was Anaryu's site that hosted the game download.
Also, for what it's worth, I have, in my own small archive, a copy of the game that I downloaded back in March of 2011. This version requires the RTP, but, I'm not 100% sure if it's the Standard version or the Game Chill version. Probably the Standard version, given the download stats? If either of the devs read this, and are willing, I can donate this file to the archive topic.
Well, can you donate it or make a dropbox link possibly?
I just explained in my last post on this gamepage that the developers of this game might not come here often enough to see these comments, much less find the time to fix the download! Who knows, maybe even they lost the game, after twelve years?

it'd be alot better if the final boss was fixed so they dont kill u with shots that dont even touch u, but its been a long time

I cant download the game from the website, can i please be provided with some other sort of direct download or link?
Sorry you had a bad time! Yeah, this game was developed in two weeks and we definitely didn't have time to extensively test the final boss(es), nor did we manage to work all of the kinks out of the shooting system. I think it would benefit a lot from 'mercy invincibility' (being immune to damage for a few frames after getting hit; think Mario) which we unfortunately didn't think to include at the time.

Medium length ARPG. Game was good for the most part: mapping, writing, battling, whatever. I died to each of the bosses at least once but managed to beat them after a few additional tries. Then comes the final boss(es).
The final boss (both of them) are total BS. The projectiles they fire have insanely high DPS (e.g. 100 dmg per projectile when you have 500 Max HP, and they fire about 20 of these within 2 seconds). And the worst thing of all, it's bugged. The projectiles dont even need to touch you to do damage, in fact sometimes they damage you as soon as they spawn, regardless of where you are. Sometimes projectiles also do damage to you when they hit a wall or despawn for any reason. I usually die immediately when this starts to happen, which makes the boss impossible to beat.
Now I'm not the most skilled player I admit, but the problem is the messed up scripts, whatever it was. I would try more if it was fair, but in this case it isnt. You cant dodge or anything because the projectiles hit you as soon as they disappear elsewhere or worse, as soon as they spawn, even if you are nowhere near them. I didn't see this problem anywhere else in the game. As it is, I'm gonna quit and I understand the developers arent able to fix it because it's just too old.
EDIT: Beat one of the bosses but my crap stopped recording for some reason. Too bad, I'm never trying that again. Basically you have to get them stuck on the single pillar in the area. Its extremely difficult, you must stand at the perfect spot for them to be stuck there. And it doesnt even work for the other boss, they just shoot rockets that immediately hit you without even touching you. Total BS.

Hm, did I post the script version for this live for people to use? I usually only do that on request.
Looks like you did, here.
