BOSS QUEST
Alternatively, you can just read the blog post on my Deviant Art Page

INTRODUCTION DEMO RELEASED:
I threw together a demo of the first 40-60 minutes of the game (plus a few extras!)
The demo focuses mostly on story, because the battle system for the game is completely unfinished, so the battles are essentially placeholders at the moment.
This will just serve as a proof of concept, and let anybody who's interested get a feel for the characters of Boss Quest.

Anyway, let me know if you find any glitches, and tell me what you think! ;D <3

>WHAT THE HELL IS BOSS QUEST?
Boss Quest is an RPG where the only fights are BOSS FIGHTS!

>THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT. WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
Boss Quest follows four heroes as they travel through space & time to find/fight the most epic bosses that space & time can provide (which is coincidentally, very epic).
...
Boss Quest is:
*Facing countless, inexplicable boss encounters
*Getting EXP/Leveling up
*Befriending shirtless guys
*Suppressing your misogyny
*Losing your mind

>I LOVE ALL OF THOSE THINGS YOU JUST SAID!
Tired of drowning in Japanese culture/shitty writing/45 minute cutscenes? Me too.
The writing in Boss Quest has an emphasis on comedy, and mature content that isn't normally featured in (J)RPG games.
At times, ostensibly tasteless, Boss Quest is a refreshing take on the RPG genre.

>NOW I HAVE AN BONER! QUICK! TELL ME ABOUT THESE HEROES!
You got it...!

BARRY

Click here for Barry's BOSS BREAKER!!

"Barry represents the impatience of the player"
Barry is a malnourished, recklessly impulsive 18 year-old boy with poor personal hygiene, very little grasp on social norms, and a personality that weighs 1,000 lbs. He's loud, in your face, and has wits that would take a private detective to track down.
Having a conversation with him is an unwinnable battle where, by the end, you feel like you've been verbally molested. There are only two people in the world as obnoxious/idiotic as Barry, and he's both of them.
Barry's only passion in life is fighting bosses, and he will sacrifice anything, especially his companions' well being, to fight the most epic boss in existence.

SHANE

"Shane is just the funnest black dude ever"
Shane is a notoriously feared, yet, somewhat apprehensive 17 year-old. When he's not popping hymens, or failing to meet his parents' expectations, he spends his time trimming his facial hair and selling used lottery tickets to his classmates.
His influence is so extensive that he would be instated as President of Earth, even if his inaugural address was him burping the Egyptian alphabet.
Fortunately for Earth, he's not ambitious enough to try.
In short, he's a really tall 3 year-old.

MELODY

"Melody isn't the voice of reason, she's just a girl"
Melody is an 18 year-old social dynamo. She's got composure, manners, and looks that stay the fuck out of her way. Her patience with others is stupendous, but she won't hesitate to point out their shortcomings.
She's the only rational voice in a party of morons.

WARWICK

Click here for Warwick's BOSS BREAKER!!

"He's the smart one, presumably"
Warwick is an 11 year-old child prodigy who skipped both junior, and senior kindergarten due to his acute understanding of colouring, and taking naps.
They say he can even write in cursive.
Unlike every 11 year-old ever, Warwick doesn't speak. He doesn't utter a word under any circumstances. As a result, his past, his personality, and his secrets to dressing like a bad-ass are all a mystery.

!!Other important NPCs!!:
Mikai (The Elder of Boss Town)
Johnny Badchoice (The Prime Minister of Boss Realm)

>HOW DOES THIS GAME WORK?
*I've yet to finalize which scripts I will be using for the final project.
*There will be no minor encounters, only boss fights.
*Each of the main characters have "Boss Breaker" forms, which are more powerful versions of themselves that can be activated in combat. Their exact variables are undetermined.
*The game's script is nearly complete.

>SO WAIT, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?
I'm Kyle, I'm 19 years old, I love to write, and I'm currently attending comedy school.
I've been using RPG Maker since I can remember, and Boss Quest has become my baby.
I made all the sprites, and battlers/art for the game (using sketches drawn by my friend).
Unfortunately, I've become so busy in the last year that I haven't been able to make any progress on it.
I'm going to be reaching out to the internet to lend me a hand <3 (Spriting, basically. There ain't no way I'm gunna be able to sprite all these bosses..!!)
