RTP EXPANSION MAY BE REQUIRED: http://rapidshare.com/files/419850720/RTP2.rar.html

-=Staff=-
Programming, mapping, and story: Deckiller
Graphics and overall influence: Kentona, Mitsuhide, Zeph
Music selection: Deckiller, Edchuy, Dezz123, Orpheus
Characterization: The entire RMN community

-=Overview=-
Legend of Denadel was my third project; the demo was created in 2010 after playing Hero's Realm and getting to know the insanely active RMN community of the era. After amassing about 2,000 downloads, I took down the demo. I reposted it fairly recently.

The inspiration for this "semi-community game" came from my playthroughs of Hero's Realm and Final Fantasy VI Advance, and also from my work on the Ultima Island community game.

Most of the graphics will be RTP or RTP-oriented; however, I plan to use smaller sprites and classic side-scrolling enemy graphics, like most old-school RPG Maker games.

Gameplay will be classic side-scrolling ATB, though the DBS will be used to its fullest. That I can promise you. There will be a classic level-up system in this game, though I will be throwing some twists in. Dungeons will be a mix of puzzle-oriented and old-school romps.

-=Chapter 1=-

The Kingdom of Denadel is in turmoil! For the first time in a century, the Demons are on the offensive! Demon attacks have been reported in the area of the Wachenta Caverns, and the King of Denadel is extremely worried that it may be the sign of an mass global invasion. But the attacks have been minor thus far, and the King believes that nipping the source of the attacks in the bud will quell the threat before it truly begins. The King has a powerful weapon to cleanse the cave of any demons, but there's a problem.

Those who release the cave-cleansing weapon will almost surely die before escaping. It's a suicide mission!

Obviously this hasn't been worked on in ages.

Why hide the fact that it's been cancelled? It's 2018. These projects serve as stepping stones for us, and there's no shame in being honest. Sometimes we see them through to completion; other times things just don't work out. I bit off too much than I could chew as a naive 20 year old who was going to school full time AND working full time, and it just fizzled. The demo is pretty good, overall, if unpolished - but was this really going to turn into a 20 hour game?

I still think there is a market for a FF6 version of Hero's Realm, and I still want to reuse these maps, but it will be in a different context and a different medium. Legend of Denadel was a great learning process while I was a noob to RPG Maker and while I wish this project had done great things for the community it unfortunately was not meant to be.

To everyone who believed in me back then, I'm sorry I let you down when it came to completing some of my projects. Things just happened so fast and I ended up doing all sorts of other things in RPG Maker that I was never able to go back to my basic projects (this and Carlsev Saga II).

Actually I take my complaints back -It's very good and even though some of the tunes are old they grow on one. I'd suggest tweaking the loop in the boss theme however and using charaset versions of the torches so they can move.
Also if you need to do any image editing, pick up Irfanview+ irfanpaint and GiMP- the former can use most Photoshop plugins- and the latter can use abr. brushes.

One more thing: the Mimic needs to do a better job of disguising itself . . . might want to redistribute the items in the next demo too, so it'll be unclear just where the mimic is lurking.

The mimic is pretty much another mark enemy, which is why I gave him his own special room.

True, but you might want to consider changing that in the next demo- it can really put a player on edge not knowing if the chest he's about to open is the dangerous bounty he's been hunting! You might even consider using variables to reshuffle the item/bounty locations each time the game is played through, to keep the element of surprise!

BTW, both Chaos and Ocean use the Sword when equipped with either the Hammer or Javelin- looking in the maker I discovered you have to set the weapon display individually for each character.
I've fixed it in my own copy.

If the mark wasn't chosen, an empty chest could be there instead, or if all the other chests have been opened before the quest was taken it could even appear as an opened chest.. I suppose I'd like the monster to have a chance to do what it does best- hide in plain sight and surprise people!

I hope you don;t mind all this feedback- I always understood part of the idea of a demo was input. I personally think you should consider revamping Wachenta's speech 's rather insipid and formulaic- quite the opposite of the witty humor I associate with FFVI.
Decky

No, it's fine -- it's just that I'm not really interested in giving the game out to others to work on and then submitting it back to me. I appreciate your animated torches and suggestion to give Wachenta witty dialogue, but Wachenta isn't really the big bad.
Decky

And I also appreciate your calling out of the technical glitches with the weapons and so on. Good call-outs.
BurningTyger

OK, I'll be glad to see how and if you use the resources I passed on- I have a version with them in place, if you're curious, but as you said, it's not my job to revamp your game. In the meanwhile I'll play the game as you made it- but with the weapons fixed, of course.

I tried to play this several times for my LT, but after redownloading the game and reinstalling the RTP it still always crashes due to a file called "main" after I hit New Game. Whoops!
hi deckiller i was wondering what you planned to do since apparantly this website is sadly coming to a close, i been following this project since the very beginning and i wanted to continue doing so.
Decky

I'll let you know once everything is finalized :)

I'm sure I'll have the next demo out soon. Just have to clear up some other projects first.

Status report?
What ever happened to this? Did it just...die?

(One of my first posts was here, by the way.)

EDIT: Not "die", i meant by the fact that no one tried to "adopt a project." It has potential, that's for sure, and it makes me sad that is will not be continued anymore.

(It's a good thing you didn't go with me, ha ha.)
Decky

Well, this was always intended to be a "side" project.
BurningTyger

Well I'll consider adopting it. Right now however I have to work on bringing another seemingly dead project back from the grave...
I'm glad to hear this is at least being considered for Ace. I just completed one of the very old demos for this yesterday, somehow under the false knowledge that it was complete, only to realize the only reason I thought this was because there were more maps than what the demo covered. It's a great game so far, and I echo all of the comments I've read in the reviews.

Excellent job with your use of the RTP, by the way.
