The story in a sentence: you play Valeran, the last of the dragon slayers, who has come to a town named Theras to find and kill the last living dragon.

With Dragon Slayer, I did not set out to recreate the fantasy genre of JRPGs, or to create something that would set the community ablaze with its outstanding custom graphics and epic plotline. I just wanted to make a simple game, with an easily digestable story that could be completed in 10-20 minutes. If I had to describe what category Dragon Slayer fits in, I would say it is the short story category.

The game file, when compressed by RMXP, is about 1.58MB (without RTP included).

RTP is required to play the game. The only custom graphics in the game are two chipsets created by The Inquisitor, and available for download at the RPG Palace.

Note: Your character will regain all HP/SP immediately following battle.

Can't play. it says: unable to find Graphics/windowskins/001-Blue01.
The game requires what is called, "RTP," to play. The RTP is a collection of graphics, music files, etc. that come with the RPG Maker program I used to make the game. You can download the RTP from the link below. Make sure to select and download the RTP for the program, "RPG Maker XP."

I had the same problem as well, but I did everything like you said, still it says the same problem.

Hey MK2, just played through this and really enjoyed it. It's a very simple, clean, and effective game. Not very ambitious, but at the same time that's sort of the point; and then behind the surface story there's this strong sense of melancholy and the relationship with Valeran's father. Thanks for a nice 15 minutes!


Thanks! As a former fan of anime, I always appreciated how strongly a sense of melancholy pervaded those works (particularly ones like Wolf's Rain, Cowboy Bebop...). I tried to inject that into this story in the form of Valeran's struggle.

Atm I am testing several RPG Maker games each week to decide if my own focus will be on XP or Ace. Dragon Slayer made me want to just start developing, because it shows what can be achieved with a little time and lots of dedication.

Well made, review&rating is done.


Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a very fulfilling project for me, and I'm glad that others have felt it was worth the investment.

No problem! It was a pleasure to play the game. I just sort of hope for more from it!
Carvonica and Emirpoen: Just got to read your reviews - thanks again for writing them (and, of course, the scores!). I will comment on both individually tomorrow night. I'm happy to see that my design goals were met, and that those goals resulted in an enjoyable experience for you both.
Thanks very much Emirpoen! Hopefully they'll get posted soon.
Waiting for my review to get approved as well. Let me just say right now I had no regrets playing it. ;)
Thank you, I'm very glad you liked it!

This game is really short.

But I loved it, short and sweet.

Good job man.
Thanks! I look forward to reading it.
I've finished my review and submitted it. It should be up soon, hopefully. It's not a bad score!

With such a small download, why not download it.
Although I believe I need the RTP.

I'll give this a try when I have the time. Simple story, but sounds interesting.
Reminds me of Dragon Heart, and I loved those movies as a kid.
Ill give this a run, maybe even write a review for it.
Ah, that's a good idea! Build off something is better than starting over, I suppose. Either way, good luck and I'll be looking for that download!
Well, rather than a sequel, if I did revisit this particular story and world I would expand on the game that you will be playing. However, given how long it took to make this (not in man-hours, but the time it took from the day I decided to work on it to the day I completed it), it would be a very serious project. Particularly because I would want to make it a full-fledged custom project (new tilesets, charsets, battle system, etc.), instead of the RTP-based game it is now. I'll expand a bit more on what I just said after the download goes up.
I'm sure it will be! Do you have any other plans for the game? Perhaps a sequel?
