The story of Dragon Fantasy: Origins takes place within the world of Tsufanubra, and it is a relatively simple tale. Vlad, a mage from the prospering city of Lispen has defected, and now wields his magics with a dark purpose. In his quest for an unfathomable dark power, he has cursed the world and its inhabitants, transforming them in to monsters and various other forms of demonic entities.
You take the position of the Hero, and with your band of adventurers must set off across the vast world and put an end to the dark mage's evil schemes.
Game Rating:
E (Everyone).
Team:
Just me so far.
Credit:
-Ephiam/Lavata (Me) for 70% of the graphics. The monster sprites are the only non-custom part, and they come from one of the early wizardry installments (or a remake of the first?).
-Music, sound, etc. all come from various other games such as Zelda, Wizardry, Breath of Fire, Shin Megami Tensei, and Seventh Saga.
Characters:
The player is free to construct their own party from the ground-up as soon as they've started the game, so there are really no pre-defined characters to speak of. Instead, here is a list of classes you're able to choose from for each of your player characters upon starting a new game.

Quick saves aren't included in any of the RPG Makers by default. They're easier to implement in later editors (like RMXP, VX, and Ace) because of the scripting feature included there, since anybody with decent programming knowledge can create such a script and pass it off for others to use, but not so much in RM2K and 2K3. RM2K/3 didn't include scripting features, so any changes to the program essentially requires plug-ins or expert eventing. Plug-ins are very limited unlike the newer makers, and not everybody has the programming knowledge to event such a feature.
In any case, it appears this has been cancelled. Sad, but expected, since Ephiam has directed his attention into restarting the franchise. Still, it was a fun Atari-styled rpg and I recommend people in tune with the older styles of games give this one a shot.

What these games need is a quick save system where you save in any moment but when you load you lost that save too. And the normal save in other place. With that you can play in some day or other but maintaining the challenge. ff3ds had it, and others too, like unlimited saga ps2, that was challenging game.
In emulators you can use savestates for what you want, to save to cheat or not.
The right thing of quick save is that ti forces player to not make cheats.
Anyway in rpgmaker 2k you can make save always enable but putting some note on the save points that you have to save only in these and that each other save is for other purposes like if you have no time or whatever. The idea is to educate the player in the way you want he to play and how rules work. In theroy, this way had to be the best in esence because gives freedom to people too to do whateverthey want and people that want cheat iwll cheat or give up or whatever.

Hahahaha. Don't worry, it's not REALLY dead, it's just going to merge with another project. I've cancelled both DF:Venaitura II and DF:Origins because I felt that I just wasn't getting what I wanted out of either of them. So I merged them together! And now things are looking a lot better. This time, however, the project is going to be a TRUE NES-styled game, much like DF II, complete with NES MP3s and the like.

It was quite interesting, but very challenging. Reminds me sort of what a very early color computer rpg might have been, or even one on the Atari if Atari had incorporated a back-up feature. It should appease the very early gamers (especially the ones who believe NES rpg's are not old school enough). I'm torn on whether I'd pick this up again or not, but more than likely I'd play it casually on the side if it were ever completed. The graphics are a bit painful to look at, but there is a sense of nostalgia that compells me to risk losing my eyesight in order to see where this game goes.

Hopefully I'll get back to this at some point. Maybe once DF:Remade is completed. Who knows. I do want to finish it, though.
CLEAN YOU GAME FOLDERS BEFORE UPLOADING IT.
I mean... NO BATTLE ANIMATIONS IN THE DATABASE *EVER* USE *ANY* of the animations in the battle folder. :/
30 mb is a lot in my PC. I mean, 30+30+30, In the end it becomes even more crippingly slow... Especially after half my RAM was lost, and it was really small to begin with. >_>;
(So like, the only decent PC I have is the one at work... And I really am not supposed to be playing there, you know. xD)
Anyways, I'll play it right now! After that review in-video, I'm excited to play :D
EDIT: You even have countless chipsets set-upped in the database... o_O
And that's so boring to do. (setting tile properties)

A lot of people told me that before. Just a coincidence.
And yes, seven games! And hopefully there will be another seven added to that list as time passes. Ah ha ha.
I wish I could post this on other forums and such/do a bit more advertising, but my residence room currently lacks internet (and has since Friday), so I have had to resort to using the computers on the 2nd floor computer lab. Gah. Not fun.

The title is magnificently similar to Dragon Age: Origins
Anyway, 7 games?! I applaud you for that. I will make sure to dig up the other ones before i play this

Update!: I'm slowly-but-surely resuming progress on this project! Every day I pick at it more and more, and am hoping to put a decent amount of time in to it in the following weeks so I can have a proper amount finished come Christmas time. Huzzah!
Ah yeah that's what I thought, couldn't remember what other one it was you were working on haha. I'll hafta check that one out as well

Oh yes indeed! Be assured that it`s slowing being worked on. I just want to finish and release Eternal Paradise before I devote my full attention to this.
