It's been way too long. I'm releasing this prototypical demo, which will be changed greatly based on feedback and eventually the CBS will be dissolved. The reason being that it hinders my development process, and it is nowhere near being as impressive as I'd hoped (plus I am having problems with images loading due to Windows 7 being a jerk). I've said this is earlier blogs, but new downloaders will need to know this.

Reviewers:
Please keep in mind that the Haddy's battle balancing is going to be greatly improved for the new version, but I welcome all suggestions related to this and the CBS. I really hope to mold the future releases based on user feedback.

I really hope there are no serious technical issues with this game. I've included the RTP packs just in case downloaders need them. I just can't hold off on this any longer than I have, and it's time to get some real feedback so I can know what is working and what isn't.

Here's the download link until the RMN download link becomes available.

I installed both files but I can't manage to get it working. ):

I Have this error: "The RPG Maker 2003 Runtime Package is not present or not registered."
Hmm, shoot. Looks like I uploaded the 2k RTP instead of 2k3... my bad. I'll send you a link via pm. Thanks for letting me know!
Now it's working, thanks. :)
May I ask you a question? I'm kinda curious. I gotta sleep so I won't be able to end Fergus episode, but I saw a savegame with that cute wizard, will we be able to play with her as protagonist the entire game too? or it'll be only Fergus? I'd love if we could choose her too. ):
I know you said that the 'protagonistS' were the 4 of them, but we'll be able to choose who? with a different storyline or something like that? just curious.

And just two points:

- Can you add something like a hp bar in fights or the amount of damage done/received? I just lost to the black cape guy cause i didn't know how many hp i had left. (Yeah, I didn't had the idea to look in the Menu :/)
- The doors at the castle are fine, but when you enter a room they're a little messed up, with a fence inside the room and it's troublesome to get out >:

So far the story is fine and crazy too, I'm expecting something cool out of this. :)
Each of the protagonists have their own intro episode (except Gulliver, who tags along with Haddy), and then you will be able to switch between party members throughout the game at save points. Episode 1 features Fergus, episode 2 features Haddy and Gulliver, and episode 3 features Midard. They'll meet up in episode 4.

Actually, I'm having some major problems with the graphics (Windows 7) that has prevented me time and again from being able to implement the HP bar, which is probably the biggest reason why I'm planning on abandoning the custom battle system altogether :(

I'll check out the castle doors and make touch it up for the next release.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback and I hope the boss battle hasn't discouraged you too much. I realized it would be a problem for many people and I'm sure when I switch over to the default battles it won't be a problem anymore.
Ok, right now I'm in Haddy's episode, but it seems I'm stuck right after leaving the town.
I learned 2 spells and is only possible to enter one cave, that have it's path blocked by two giant plants.. and there is a cave up ahead in the world map too, but when i try to go there nothing happens and I continue in the world map.. :~

Edit: there is a cave to the left too, but it's path is blocked by trees.
Okay, found the problem. I'll message you with an answer on how to get past that part without downloading the new version that I'm going to upload.

Fixed!
Now it's all good, just finished :)
good work, keep going!
Very glad to hear, and thanks so much for your help!
You know, this game may end up being more popular than the EL series.
Haha doubt it. This has more subscribers but way less downloaders, and it's really doing poorly at RRR.
