Just a quick update that the first demo is ready to try. Let me know want you think and I suggest you read the documentation provided with the download.

Here is the documentation:

This is the first beta test. There are some known issues with it as follows:
· Tooltips vary widely with font and style.
· Each time the cursor moves over an accessory box in the menu, it stops. This was a technical issue that I'm sure could be done a better way, but it's an old project :\
· Some of the dialog boxes may be inconsistent. I tried to fix them all, but a few might have slipped in.
· There may be an odd message each time you open a chest, like "Went to events!" This is a technical notice, and will be removed.

There is no sort of tutorial at all, and the combat is mostly self explanatory except for a few head scratchers.

· There are ground and there are flying enemies. You cannot attack a flying enemy with earth magic or a sword. You can only use Lorcan's bow abilities at first. Rain will learn an attack, Combustion, that can hit anyone, and you gain a third party member who can smite flying enemies. Please keep this in mind so you aren't confused when some abilities won't work.

· Touching a save point restores your HP/MP to full! This is very important as it's not specified anywhere and some areas are made much easier knowing this.

· Enemies never respawn so there are quite a few walking around. Feel free to skip a few if you don't want to fight. They're there as extras because there is no other way to build up. Keep an eye out for paths that trail off-screen. It's probably a hidden cache full of additional monsters and items.

· Items are a bit sparse (sorry about that) so take caution when using them (espeically phoenix downs and mana draughts.) There is no working store so...

· Thank you for trying, and please leave feedback! As an aside, the game picks up significantly after you leave the forest. Before that, the game is a little simple with not too many abilities to use.

Did you make a game called Aura Stones a long time ago?
Yeah I did, though it might have just been this game. It's changed names several times. But I also made an action rpg called Aura Stones. Maybe that was it...
I remember it being an action RPG. :)
