Blades or Arrayos
An rpg I am working on to "test the waters" with RPG Maker VX Ace.
The demo should have about two to three hours of playable material.
Hope you enjoy it. :)



Description
Blades Of Arrayos is a tale of a mercenary's journey through the land of Aria. Raven, the mercenary, and his companion Terris get caught up in political and social issues in the kingdom while pursuing a bounty to get some extra gold. They will travel around the world with companions of all niches in an epic journey to reform and save the kingdom from the vile knight Keros, who has corrupted the Kingdom to its very core.

Characters
Raven
The protagonist; A young mercenary down on his luck and looking to find some gold.
Sarcastic and short-tempered at times. Considered a pessimist for his jaded opinion of the "good guys."

Terris
A young mage; companion of Raven and a hopeful optimistic. Calm and reserved by nature. One might call him Raven's good side.

Baron Maverick
A paladin of Aria Castle and a high ranking official. For reasons unknown, Raven encounters him as a wanted man who will change Raven's life forever.

Keros
The former adviser to King Avion of Aria Castle. His hunger for power is only matched by his greed and reckless ambition.

Me stuck?? How do I get outta Rothlin Gar mountain cave??


Didnt get far, went in the place mentioned above and got stuck down there because the exit stairs was set to the wrong destination. I saved in there so there was no out for me.
I spent about 4 hours on this game, and I have to say I'm somewhat disappointed...


I played for about 2 hours on my first run, and decided to go the Tothlin Gar mountain cave, and fought the boss, and got stuck inside. I only had the 1 save file.


I did what any true RPG fan would do, and start over.


I have a couple of suggestions for you. I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I know I'm going to sound like one anyways...


Your character progression is awful. Story wise, and combat wise. You should have just made Maverick the main character.


The monsters are pathetically weak, and pose no challenge. The stats are just set way to darn high. Even Terris is a tank most fights.


The story itself is solid. You get decent details about the important characters themselves, and the humor in the dialog feels just right. I'm a Mercenary Damn it! Reminds me of a certain some one I know. He doesn't like to be called a thief.


There's a lot of potential in this game, but it has its fair share of flaws. Keep working on it, and you'll maker yourself a great game.
Me stuck?? How do I get outta Tothlin Gar mountain cave?? what do I have too do??
In volcano dungeon,it is impossible to beat the boss "Blaze Invoker". My party is at level 28. I quit.
Not sure where this is (in limbo perhaps?), but overall it was a decent demo. The battles were very well balanced, and the first dungeon layout was fun to play through. You might want to tone down the encounter rate, though, since it seemed kind of high. Also, you should allow saving on the world map.
Unfortunately, my account seems to have an issue of some sort and won't let me update the demo, so I'll have to upload further demos (which I finally have an updated one, by the way!) to an alternate source. I will, however, post a link to the download for everyone!

OK, really liked what's available so far. Looking forward to the full game when it's done, the ideas you have are intriguing.

Heh, you flatter me! :)
I'm glad you enjoy my game!
Registered here just to say thanks to the developer. The first RPG, the gameplay which I really enjoyed ever since, was released RPG Maker VX Ace. And thanks again for such an exciting game!
Nope. I had already tried pushing the two statues near the entrance as well. Anyway I will figure it out. Thanks.
Ummmmmmmm.....yes but since you mentioned it, I will push again.
Well...I hate to post publicly and embarrass myself with such simple problems when I am sure others would rather see blogs of some sort of importance.
I have been back to that cave several times and swear I have been everywhere, touched all things and walked into walls thinking there is a hidden exit. I have tried to pull that coffin, push that coffin and even took a leak on it but nada, zippo. Been up every ladder and down every stairs.
Now, having said that, I am going back in and you KNOW as well as I do that THIS time I will stumble across the way out.
But then again...maybe not. Maybe a hint page or basic walkthrough would help the RPG-challenged like me.
Are you talking about Norvale? Because if so, you have to finish the dungeon to get out. It kinda loops out for you. Don't worry, you'll get it. :)
I hate to say it, but I am already stuck! I have been to the NW cave but once back in town I cant go out the East side and if I go back to the NW cave there doesnt seem to be an exit.
I know....it will be some SO damned obvious.
I do like the game a lot.
It's one I've been using for a while, so I'm not quite sure at this point.. But I think it came from a 'Tales of' game!
Hey Kanetsugu! Mind if I ask which game your airship theme is from? =)
@Noel - That's really odd.. I've never had that problem before. :/
@Psycho - Thanks! You'll have to play the new demos when they come out to see for yourself ;D
Oh and there's another thing I love about the game. The music! ^^

Great choices!

Also the group of villains as well. They're cool too and I feel like there may be more to come.
When I try to unzip version 1.03, the extranction stops on rgss.
