Gabriel Landry is on the brink of re-discovering the lost art of White Magic. By simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Gordon Tullet, a young; yet talented Alchemist, learns the dark secrets and dangers behind White Magic. Framed for a crime he did not commit, he sets out to bring sense to the obsessive Gabriel.

Although this is an honest effort, aiming to bring a complete RPG experience, the game uses mostly default systems, and is a relatively short and sweet fantasy JRPG. Set cliché to maximum setting! Full speed ahead, into that forest dungeon!


The current download is approximately 1 hour in length, which is the entire first chapter, and about 20% of the full game. If the font is not showing correctly, please install MS Echoes which is included in the game folder.

The demo may not be the longest one around, but since this is my first real release, I wanted to get a grasp on what I am doing right and wrong. The next demo, will be a more complete package. It will include a improved chapter one, and chapter two; which will be more focused on bringing a better experience, based on the feedback I have received. Thank you so much for reading/playing my game!

I’m really open to advice, and critique about everything, so don't be shy, I promise I won't ever take offence!

Back in business.

Hey everyone… Huh? What do you mean, who are you? Don’t you guys remember me?

…Okay so I know I haven’t exactly been very active lately. I’ll come clean, White Magic has been quietly on hiatus for a little while now. You know how it goes: life, love, responsibilities, and all the crap that gets in the way of the important stuff - like making a game. However I’m here to tell you that White Magic is no longer on hiatus and is back in production. Since the official release of RPG Maker 2003 I’ve been chipping away at my old love.

I’ve also decided to re-release the demo, and this time just leave it up for good and let people actually PLAY it. It’s an improved version that’s been sitting on my computer for a long time now. The changes are minor: I addressed some issues, fixed bugs, added some small features and improved pieces of dialogue here and there, and updated it to the legal maker. The bulk of it remains the same though, so don’t be disappointed if you were hoping for a new experience. If you do come across any issues, please get in touch so I can fix them.

Anyway, I’d like to thank those 49 fake accounts I made subscribers for sticking with me through out the dry spell. You’re the best! Hopefully you’ll see more updates from me, as I do have more to show in the future that I’m keeping secret for now.

It’s good to be back!

Don't worry you have talent! :D
ok thanks!,
I'm making a game of myself,
=Fantasy Legend: Dark Countdown, Lol,
Just wanted to ask, if i could use that boss batle music, if i could use it for something EVIL! if my characters have to run :D or something, i've been on rpg maker 2003 like 3 years, i made RPG's then i was sick of it and i kept deleting it XD,

But keep up the goood work :D


How dare you politely ask for a song I have no rights to? How dare you!

Of course you can use it, everything in the project is free to public domain. All the music comes for Dark Chronicle and Rogue Galaxy. The boss battle song is called Exploder 1 I think. There’s another called Exploder 2, which is a slighter slower more orchestrated version of it. It’s good though. If you’re ever bored, or you’re looking for some new tunes for your own game I’d suggest listening to both soundtracks on YouTube, there’s some great songs. =)

You can download it from Blue Laguna or just take it from my game folder.

Oh yeah, this game doesn’t use the default font. I like to be difficult sometimes. I wasn’t really thinking about what I was doing when I uploaded this, the next download will be a more complete package, with the font and the bug sorted out.

http://rpgmaker.net/media/content/users/1212/locker/MS_Echoes.fon

Until then, if you download that file, then go into Control Panel and shove it in Fonts folder. The font will be fixed in the game, and some other RM games use that font too, so it’s worth doing.

Anyway thanks a lot for your comment, put a smile on my face =)
UHMM.....
Guy....
I LOVE YOUR GAME, Please don't stop making it,
or i'll haunt you :D, BTW i love the Boss Battle Music and the town Music, it gives a REALLLY awesome touch to the game, nly the lettertype is a problem its soo small,
or is it just my PC?,

Nontheless, Keep Going Pleeeaase (*.*)
Thanks for your kind comment Tau! I'm quite chuffed with the attention so far, I haven't made any blogs or tried to advertise it either. I don't think it'll ever be a popular game because it’s got a simple linear story, which is more than ok, I really want to finish a game and not overwhelm myself. Also, I got an really nice PM from Miracle about the game, and I'm still over the moon about it now!

As for the bitch in the manor, she's received negative reactions all round. She's a permanent party member too, so I might have to do something about that.

How is it that my unreleased game has garnered more attention in half the time this games page has been up? It also has a lengthy, polished demo ready to download? I just don't understand that.

Also that bitch in the manor.. She annoyed me like straight away haha.
Hmmm, well I just had a look in the editor, and the only file name along of the lines of chara05, are the doors in Rivalette. Try renaming that same file; that you just put in the folder under "chara05_?1". That might work.

The file that I gave you is actually called "chara05_'1" in my project, so it must be the same file that somehow messes up. I'll make sure I correct this in the next release. Until then, give it one more try. If it doesn't work, then you may have to do it yourself in the editor (just change the Door graphic for the big house at the top of Rivalette). If you're not too confident on doing that, I'll send you a new fixed download via PM. Let me know. Cheers!
You mean the RPG_RT one with the icon? Or rm2k3? Coz I have them both already. Am I supposed to do what Jakester said and put that chara05_r1 inside the charset?

edit: I've downloaded the picture, changed it to bitmap 256 colors and it still says missing "chara05_?1" :(

At the first part of the game, after coming out of the forest to enter the tow, an error popped up and I couldn't advance the game anymore :(

=( You’re the second person to have the exact same problem. Was it the same error as Jakester? And do you definitely, definitely have the RTP installed? I don’t get how it can work for 90% of people, and not the others. Just before I uploaded it, I deleted some music, and sound effects that are played in areas that aren’t in the demo, and that was it. I didn’t delete or change any other files.

I honestly don’t know why this happens. You’d think being the creator of the game, I’d know something, but I don’t. Sorry!

Thanks! At least you didn't have any problems.

I'm curios, all of this sprites is VX sprites, what converter do you use to make it compatible with 2k3?


Oh, I didn’t convert them. The website I got them from has those resources in both; 2k3 and VX style. See the credits section on the game page? Click on Primary Graphics, and that’ll take you to their website. All their resources are public domain. You’re welcome!

Cheers for playing it, and commenting too. This game is generally a lot more light hearted than COV was, so maybe that's why? I agree with you though, COV would probably have been cooler than this, but I feel like this is the kind of game I need to make, at least for now. After this, hopefully I’ll learn a lot to stop being a moron, and I’ll be able to tackle another beast like COV.

And yeah, good spot! Me and my dad don't see eye to eye. I think I was the milkman’s. Thanks again mate.
hey i haven't played much but i liked what i played. not as much as collision of villnoire but im sure this game is better, i just have weird tastes. anyway here are my indecipherable notes:
- good sense of rpg theatrics, interesting premises
- a million commas missing
- i think you may have daddy issues; this and collision of villnoire had young angsters with overbearing dads; but i kind of like that, like i'd rather play a game based on actual human experience rather than "gary stew" story about some superhuman teenage swordsman with great hair

when i play more i'll send more feedback, in the meantime best of luck lwg
Eeeeeeeeeeeee, a game from LWG, yay!
Must download!

I have no idea why I am still having this problem, or why am I the only one who has been experiencing it. I put the chara05_r1 into the CharSet folder but that didn't work. I also try deleted the game and extracting it all over but the problem still persisted. I don't know what I have done to make your game angry at me.

Lots of words
Appreciate this comment muchly ... You’re a cool dude.


You're welcome. I see you have taken the time to address some of my comments. I hope they serve you to rethink a few things and hopefully improve some of them for the next demo (it would be one chapter at a time, I figure, right?). Regarding the font issue, I probably have it again since I migrate to a new computer. Also, regarding the scrolling text, I forgot to mention it reminds me of what you get in some of the news channels on cable (information overload!).
That scrolling message banner, was a experiment, it seemed good on paper. I agree with you it can be quite awkward, especially when your trying to read a treasure chest. I don’t know what I’ll do with that yet.


Yeah, the scrolling is a new idea, but new ideas aren't necessarily always good. I do have an idea on how to fix it. Instead of scrolling, try using different text transitional methods. You could have the text at the top be slowly revealed -- like if someone was writing the text down on paper. Then when the whole message is written/revealed, you wait for a few seconds and then start the next line of message the same exact way. This way it's much easier to read the text and it keeps the same uniqueness the old transition had.
