This game is a tribute to the old school program RPG Maker 2000 that I used to live off of back in the day.

KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU MAY NEED A FONT PATCH FOR THIS ONE!
https://app.box.com/s/39b5a2b5219b0d9b310e THIS PATCH WORKS GREAT!

REGULAR VERSION;
http://rpgmaker.net/games/3766/downloads/3732/

In this quest you play as a Dark Elf named Dagree. He's a simple treasure hunter who is normally feared by humans. For some reason, the citizens of Vitality Island aren't scared of him except for the naughty Royal Family. Along the way you can make choices in the game that determine what side character you'll end up with.

The story itself is easy to follow and doesn't really need to be serious.
Most of the characters that you talk to probably rode on the short bus.

Notes for the adventure; Other main characters come into the play as well. If you join up with the wizard he'll have his own problems that come into light during the quest for you. If you kill the wizard you get a thief to replace the loss. If you don't talk to everyone, future quests won't become available and you'll miss out on items, weapons, or hidden bosses. There are also abilities that your characters can learn (pushing stones, raiding houses). I'm going to guess that the game time runs at about 10 hours long or so.

2013 VERSION;
Even though I'm working on Epic Elf 2, I had to return to this project simply because I enjoy playing around with it. I think that it's finally time to move on. If you enjoyed Epic Elf, this version will entertain you as well!
I fixed up the story, added more mini quests, enemies, jokes, bosses, blood, creepy stuff and secret items. Enjoy! Dagree gets a happy ending in this one!

So the "Fixed Version" of Epic Elf is done!

I just submitted the (hopefully) final version of Epic Elf.
So, it's a little easier and a few extra things were added, like a side quest in Limbo and an extra cut scene with Daploma. You will be able to use your old save file incase you were wondering.
So I hope that helps those who had a hard time with the game, and if there are still minor glitches . . . . damn it!

Alrighty! This goes out to my six subscribers! I watched NicoB's vids on Epic Elf and he did show me a few things that could make the game a little bit better. So I'm taking the time to make the final project as good as I can make it! There will be a few more surprises, character events, battles effects, and items. I'm not going to re-do too much because I really want to finish this project sometime this month and start on a new one! As Aries quoted in FFVII "This guy are sick!" I had to put that in there. Okay! I'll get back to everyone later!

Thanks! People seem to like the style I'm going with (games ARE suppose to be fun, not a chore). I wish I knew how to code better and make up my own custom menus and stuff . . . maybe my next project I'll do more research! Glad you like the game! It's the only reason I work on it . . . for entertainment.
U sure can map. I love the overall style of the game. I also love your concept. Games today in general just don't want to be fun if you know what I mean. Anyway, good work.
For those of you who played through the game so far, here is what to expect in the final version!

1) Story! Some of the dialogue (like the intro) will be slighty re-writen to my satisfaction.

2) Enemies! Some bosses may be tweeked just a little bit for more exciting battles. Some minor enemies that are stronger than shit will also be easier to beat. Every enemy will have it's own custom attack rather than the messages just saying "Enemy attacks . . .." I'm also removing all battles that appear in the world map.

3) Glitches! Hopefully I found most of 'em!

4) Feedback! Usually when I hear a good idea or two from somebody I throw it in the project.

5) Areas! I'll probably go through the game again and fix up some of the tiles that just annoy me.

6) An ending! Yes. This time you will be able to finish the game.
I keep getting that neat "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" screen!
That download works..lol what happened indeed~ :3
Huh . . . I wonder what happened! Should I upload another file if this one doesn't work after a few days? Or is this a sign for me to release the final version?

Download limit for this game reached?? I have never seen that before!
Glitch alert! I forgot to switch the chest after it is opened in the Secret Cave. So, if you want unlimited Vine Rods, there you go! This will be fixed in the final cut of the game.
Glad you like it. There have been way too many typical villians in RPGs where they say stuff like "kill all the weak humans and rule the world," or sappy love stories where the guy wins the girls heart after killing thousands of foes and saving the world. I'm not taking my game too serious with the plot and hope that people see that. Last time I made a game it was misunderstood; well, due to difficulty and a loopy plot. I've learned from my mistakes and hope to bust out better games that aren't so frustrating.
Well, initially I thought it was going to be a badly written cliche of a Dark Elf taking over the world, and I nearly cringed. But it was all a joke, and then it got pretty funny. I've probably put in about 1 and 1/2 to about 2 hours of this, so I'm sure I'll like the final product. It's been awhile since I've seen a fairly decent RM2K game.

So far, excellent game. I admit I was skeptical and was looking for a reason to turn it off. I almost did when the Dark Elf introduced himself at the beginning. Glad I did not. Mapping isn't great, but not horrible, and not much to the story so far, but the game play is a load of fun.


I agree with the intro. I wasn't too happy with it (it felt real basic) and the mapping could use more structure. As I get more feedback I'm hoping the final project will come out better with a stronger plot/characters. The game play does get praised and that makes me want to finish it.

No prob! I'll probably write out a guide when the game is done so people can find some of the secrets that are only available at specific points. For example; you can find an extra character hidden at the camp site near the witch forest right after you beat the bounty hunter.
That's the trouble with playing a game twice close together - I was sure I'd spoken to him, but I must have been remembering the first time.
Thanks
Ah! That's one of the secrets you can miss out on. You have to talk to Fong Wong (joke off Xenogears, the main character was named Fei Fong Wong and they look similar) in the graveyard before the sunset and before you beat the Zombie boss. If you didn't talk to him you miss out on the manor key location and event.
I'm playing through the new version and I don't know if I've made a mistake or if a bug has crept in.
The first time round I got the man standing outside his house who had lost his key, and so was able to get into the Manor. This time he hasn't appeared, and I'm already at the end of the Ice Cave. What should I have done to initiate this event? I thought I'd done everything that I did last time.

Thanks
Alrighty! This new demo fixes a few things that I took notes on (mainly what littlebro pointed out). It's a little easier and a few extra conversations were added.
